I am using AlarmManager to poll user location periodically which is working fine- Now I would like to give my app users an option so they can restrict the location polling by specifying hours say ‘Between 8PM to 10PM’.

Right now I am using AlarmManager.setRepeating method for scheduling but I am unable to configure my alarm service so that it runs every day but within certain hours.
I already know how to schedule a recurring task using AlarmManager at particular time of day but how to set the end time is what I am looking for.

    You can’t tell AlarmManager to do exactly that, but you could check whenever your service gets called to see if it’s within the specified hours. If it is, then you proceed as normal, if not then you reschedule the alarm to start at the beginning of the next polling period.
