Question

I am using this to launch an Intent to trigger a reciever…

How would i go about setting this so that every 3 days it sends the intent??

AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(alarm);

    Intent Aintent = new Intent("REFRESH_THIS");
    PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, Aintent, 0);

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
    calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 2);
    am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pi);

Answer 1

Use setRepeating

am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 3 * AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
