Question

I’ve to develop an application that remindes the user every 10 minutes with alertDialog during 2 hours ONLY,

I made an application that reminds a user for each 10 minutes, but I want to stop it after 2 hour actually I couldn’t do that,

public class MyAlarm extends Activity {

    private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
    int i = 1;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Button buttonStart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startalarm);
        Button buttonCancel = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cancelalarm);
        Button bCancel= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

        pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(MyAlarm.this, 0,
                new Intent(MyAlarm.this, MyAlarmService.class), 0);
        buttonStart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub


                long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
                AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
                AlarmManager am2 = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
                am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
                        firstTime + 10 * 1000, 10 * 1000, pendingIntent);


            }
        });

        bCancel.performClick();

Question:
– Where should I put the code to stop the alarm when the bCancel button clicked automatically ??

-and how can I make this click after two hours ???

Try this-

final Button bCancel= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
bCancel.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                //Your code to stop the alarm goes here.

            }
        });

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                bCancel.performClick();
            }
        }, (2*60*60*1000));
