I’m looking for some timer alternative, since timer dies with app, is limited, and every timer launches own thread.
Sometimes I need to launch about 20-30 timers.
I need to set some event, in time, and when it comes display app screen. Is it possible?
You should use AlarmManager.
As CommonsWare says that there are some limitation of it, but that is ok, if an user force closes your application it means he doesn’t want to use your application (any more or due to sort of memory)….
And I have a solution (but may be not the best), because you can not listen if user force closes your app, so one way is that you can re schedule your event on each start of your application. I know this is not a good solution but ….. we have no any other way yet
Here is a good example.
