Question

In My application i have set the many Alarm Notification.
All are at different date but with the same time. And i am setting it on/off with the help of the toggle Button.

Now the Problem is, If i am setting it on then at that time it gives me notification of the previous one from current date. it only appear at once and then all alarm notification works fine.

Suppose if i have set the alarm at 12,14,16 date then i set the date as 15 in my device and on the toggle button then it gives me notification of 14 at that time. And then all goes fine.

So is it logically correct or is there any problem in my code ?

Should it be happened or not ?

Please see the Below code that i have set for the alarm notification:

public void startTwoMonthAlarmNotification() {

        // ===================== GST ALARM FOR THE TWO MONTHS ==========================

Below code is for the Canceling all the notification alarm on the toogleButton off:

        AM_2M_GST_1.cancel(PI_2M_GST_1);
    AM_2M_GST_2.cancel(PI_2M_GST_2);
    AM_2M_GST_3.cancel(PI_2M_GST_3);
    AM_2M_GST_4.cancel(PI_2M_GST_4);
    AM_2M_GST_5.cancel(PI_2M_GST_5);
    AM_2M_GST_6.cancel(PI_2M_GST_6);
    AM_2M_PROVISIONAL_1.cancel(PI_2M_PROVISIONAL_1);
    AM_2M_PROVISIONAL_2.cancel(PI_2M_PROVISIONAL_2);
    AM_2M_PROVISIONAL_3.cancel(PI_2M_PROVISIONAL_3);
    AM_2M_TERMINAL_1.cancel(PI_2M_TERMINAL_1);

Answer 1

First you must cancel the old AlarmManager and Pending Intent. Here you didn’t cancel your Pending Intent. Just cancel that use thic code –

alaramManagerObj.cancel(pendingIntent);
pendingIntent.cancel();

This will be clear your unWanted Notification and works only for provided Alarm. If you want to Check your alarm with Specified date for that date is passed or not. Just check with this –

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); 
c.set(2011, 1, 20); 
long mills = c.getTimeInMillis(); 
long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); 
int x = (mills<=currentTime)?0:1; 

In the integer x will return 0 if the date is not passed, else returns 1. Use this code to your needs.

Hope this may helps you.
