Is there a way to cause my app to update itself at exactly midnight

  • 0

Is there a way to cause my app to update itself at exactly midnight every night? I need the new content to be displayed on the app right when it hits midnight. I have an idea of how to accomplish this, but if it isn’t in another thread and is in the onCreate and the app is running in the background next time it is opened it would just display the previous info and not the updated?

I could also use help accomplishing this same thing with iPhone as well.

I will clarify a bit. So all the information that is to be displayed on the app will be in the app already. I simply want the content (whats displayed) on the app to randomize and then display the new group of content only once per 24hours or at exactly midnight. Hope that makes it more clear.

    Android:

    You can set pre-determined times to update with AlarmManager

    You can look at a snippet here: Android: How to use AlarmManager

    iPhone:

    With iPhone you probably have to download the content whenever you re-open the app.
