Flawless 0 9 7. Just a small post from our recent experience - how to test that Android AlarmManager has an alarm set.

  • AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARMSERVICE); In the onCheckedChanged method, remove the call to deliverNotification. In the onCheckedChanged method, call setInexactRepeating on the alarm manager instance.
  • //Create alarm manager AlarmManager alarmMgr0 = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARMSERVICE); //Create pending intent & register it to your alarm notifier class Intent intent0 = new Intent(this, AlarmReciever.class); PendingIntent pendingIntent0 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent0, 0); //set timer you want alarm to work (here I have set it to.

The first approach is to do it programmatically - let's assume we registered our alarm as below:

Service

And now to check that registered above alarm is active we have to do the following:

The idea is to use PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE which according to android documentation is a flag indicating that if the described PendingIntent does not already exist, then simply return null instead of creating it (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/PendingIntent.html#FLAGNO Copied – copy and paste everywhere 1 1 1. CREATE). Jixipix fold defy 1 38.

Now you want your service to run with a given periodicity (say every 5 minutes) no matter if the app is running or the screen is off. The easiest way is to register an alarm with the AlarmManager to fire up the service: This code will trigger the service for the first time inmediately.

The second solution is to use adb shell command:

After you run below command from the command line you'll receive the list of active alarms for provided package name:
