Question

I’m trying to stop a repeating alarm.


I already looked all over the web for solution, but my code seems fine…

Still it doesn’t stop the alarm…
Here’s a little bit of code (FM is a file-writing object)

public void StartAlarm() {
     Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReciever.class);
     PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);

     AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
     Calendar alarm = Calendar.getInstance();
     alarm.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
     alarm.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 15);
     alarm.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
     long alarmCal=alarm.getTimeInMillis();
     if (alarmCal<=new Date().getTime()) {
        alarm.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
     }
     am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarm.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, sender);
     FM.Write("startAlarm()");
     }


 public void StopAlarm() {
        if (isAlarmRunning()) {
             Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReciever.class);
             PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);
            AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
            alarmManager.cancel(sender);
            FM.Write("alarm canceled");
            isAlarmRunning();
        }
public boolean isAlarmRunning() {
    Intent intentToCheck = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),AlarmReciever.class);
    boolean alarm = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intentToCheck,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE) != null;
    FM.Write("alarm = "+alarm);
    if (!alarm) {
        return false;
    }
    else
        return true;
}

Thanks!

use this in both function

PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0,     intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
