I'm trying to create and delete an alarm in two different methods which are both called at different moments in the application logic.
However when I call AlarmManager's cancel()
method, the alarm isn't deleted.
Here's my addAlarm()
Method :
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(PROX_ALERT_INTENT);
intent.putExtra("ALERT_TIME", alert.date);
intent.putExtra("ID_ALERT", alert.idAlert);
intent.putExtra("TITLE", alert.title);
intent.putExtra("GEO_LOC", alert.isGeoLoc);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext,
alert.idAlert, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(alert.date);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
Log.e("ADD ALERT - WithoutGeoLoc - ",alert.toString());
Here's my deleteAlarm() Method :
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(PROX_ALERT_INTENT);
intent.putExtra("ALERT_TIME", alert.date);
intent.putExtra("ID_ALERT", alert.idAlert);
intent.putExtra("TITLE", alert.title);
intent.putExtra("GEO_LOC", alert.isGeoLoc);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext,
alert.idAlert, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
Log.e(TAG,"REMOVE ALERT - without GeoLoc"+alert.toString());
Here's my Logcat :
01-23 17:44:07.411: E/ADD ALERT - WithoutGeoLoc -(18789): Alert [latitude=0.0, longitude=0.0, title=bfwu, comments=null, address=null, currency=hrk, idAlert=1, date=Sat Feb 23 17:44:04 CET 2013, isGeoLoc=null]
01-23 17:44:13.032: E/REMOVE ALERT without GeoLoc - (18789): Alert [latitude=0.0, longitude=0.0, title=bfwu, comments=null, address=null, currency=hrk, idAlert=1, date=Sat Feb 23 17:44:04 CET 2013, isGeoLoc=null]
Here's a list of pendingIntents in the AlarmManager
Current Alarm Manager state:
Realtime wakeup (now=2013-01-23 17:44:37):
RTC_WAKEUP #48: Alarm{2c1d0588 type 0 com.my.app}
type=0 when=+364d23h59m33s288ms repeatInterval=0 count=0
operation=PendingIntent{2c0a6cb0: PendingIntentRecord{2c1d04e8 com.my.app broadcastIntent}}
RTC_WAKEUP #47: Alarm{2c2298a0 type 0 com.my.app}
type=0 when=+30d23h59m27s360ms repeatInterval=0 count=0
operation=PendingIntent{2c292af8: PendingIntentRecord{2c22a628 com.my.app broadcastIntent}}
A couple notes:
RTC_WAKEUP #47
is My Original AlarmRTC_WAKEUP #48
is a New Alarm that should have overwritten #47 rather than create a new one.I have compared the two intents (not pendingIntents) from my add and delete methods using Intent's filterEquals()
method which returns true
... Yet the alarm is not deleted. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
Here's my saveAlert()
method that calls addAlarm()
and deleteAlarm()
private void saveAlert() {
// *** If Modifying Alert => REMOVE OLD ALERT (then add new one)
Intent intent1 = null, intent2 = null;
if (alert.idAlert != null) {
if (alert.isGeoLoc == null || alert.isGeoLoc == false) {
intent2 = ProximityService.removeProximityAlertWithoutGeoLoc(getApplicationContext(), devisesApp.alertsGlobal.getAlertById(alert));
} else {
ProximityService.removeProximityAlert(getApplicationContext(), alert);
}
}
// *** Add Alert
if (alert.isGeoLoc == null || alert.isGeoLoc == false) {
intent1 = ProximityService.addProximityAlertWithoutGeoLoc(getApplicationContext(), alert, devisesApp.alertsGlobal);
} else {
ProximityService.addProximityAlert(getApplicationContext(), alert, devisesApp.alertsGlobal);
}
Log.i(TAG, "[saveAlert] Alert ID : " + alert.idAlert);
devisesApp.alertsGlobal.addById(alert);
Log.i("INTENT EQUALS", intent1.filterEquals(intent2) + ""); // This returns true
}
Try this flag:
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
Instead of:
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT
So the PendingIntent will look like this:
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext,
alert.idAlert, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)
(Make sure that you use same alert
object and mContext
!)
A side note: If you want one global AlarmManager, put the AlarmManager in a static variable (and initialize it only if it's null
).
