The alarm clock is an application, not part of the SDK. http://www.androidguys.com/2009/12/14/code-pollution-reaching-past-the-sdk/ Some applications that may exist on Android have publicly documented Intents, such as: http://developer.android.com/uide/appendix/g-app-intents.html The alarm clock is not one of them. Now, if you want to allow the user to choose an application to launch, by pulling up a list of available activities from the PackageManager, that's perfectly reasonable. But please don't go around hard-wiring class names in your code. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Different AlarmClock applications for every phone?
So anyone with a Nexus One can check their logcat to see what the Alarmclock
classname for the nexus is?

There is no standard alarm clock API in the platform. Heck, some devices
may not even have one.
