I am trying to use an alarm manager with BroadcastReceiver. I try to use the example given in Tutorial: System Services and BroadcastReceiver . but when I run the example after the end of the time the toast doesn't show up. the code is below:
My main Activity:
public class AlarmActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_alarm);
}
public void startAlert(View view) {
EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.time);
int i = Integer.parseInt(text.getText().toString());
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getApplicationContext(), 234324243, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()
+ (i * 1000), pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm set in " + i + " seconds",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
my broadCastReceiver:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Don't panic but your time is up!!!!.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Vibrate the mobile phone
Vibrator vibrator = (Vibrator) context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
vibrator.vibrate(2000);
}
}
my main Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Number of seconds"
android:inputType="numberDecimal" >
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="@+id/ok"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="startAlert"
android:text="Start Counter" >
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
and the manifestfile:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.broadcastreceiver"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" >
</uses-permission>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.broadcastreceiver.AlarmActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="com.example.android_alarm.MyBroadcastReceiver" >
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
A broadcast receiver (receiver) is an Android component which allows you to register for system or application events. All registered receivers for an event are notified by the Android runtime once this event happens.
IntentService + WakefulBroadcastReceiver + AlarmManager are deprecated with API 26 (Android 8.0 Oreo).
There are mainly two types of Broadcast Receivers: Static Broadcast Receivers: These types of Receivers are declared in the manifest file and works even if the app is closed. Dynamic Broadcast Receivers: These types of receivers work only if the app is active or minimized.
Open your phone's Clock app . At the bottom, tap Alarm. On the alarm you want, tap the Down arrow . Cancel: To cancel an alarm scheduled to go off in the next 2 hours, tap Dismiss.
The receiver must extend from BroadcastReceiver
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
// ...
}
Also be sure that receiver name in manifest file is correct.
Your MyBroadcastReceiver
class is wrong, edit your MyBroadcastReceiver
class to the following:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Don't panic but your time is up!.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Vibrate the mobile phone
Vibrator vibrator = (Vibrator) context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
vibrator.vibrate(2000);
}
}
You need to add extends BroadcastReceiver
and override onReceive() method.
