[android-developers] Re: What is the best way to schedule an event that will wake up the phone if it goes into sleep mode?
Mark, I posted my question in android-platform but there is no reply there. The second group you recommended (android-framework) does not exist. Do you have any other recommendations i can follow?

Hey Mark. thanks for the quick response. I see that the AlarmManager is part of the app package. Is it possible to use it in a system service? Thanks, Chen Ganir.

I was thinking of the following methods: 1. sendMessageDelayed 2. Timer 3. AlarmManager The basic requirement is to be able to set a triger in the future, and be sure that this trigger wakes up the system if it is sleeping, perform the task, and go back to sleep.A partial wakup is required (no screen flickering). Currently i'm using the sendMessageDelayed, and i keep a wake lock held for the timeout period (bad practice). *Please* use AlarmManager for this! Here is a sample project showing the use of AlarmManager and a WakefulIntentService (allows you to take as much time as you need to do your work and keeps the device awake just long enough to do that work): http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices... -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office:http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Mark, I'm looking at the BluetoothService. The BluetoothService implements a mechanism to disable the discoverable mode after 120 seconds (in function setScanMode). However, if the system goes to sleep before that, what happens to the discoverable mode? It will stay on until the system wakes up and the message is sent? Why did google implement this mechanism like this, and not with an alarmManager to prevent such a problem? Thanks, Chen Ganir.

Thanks Mark, I'll move my question to one of those groups. Chen Ganir. On Mar 2, 4:52 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: Chen Ganir wrote: I'm looking at the BluetoothService.
