I want this activity of mine to be started at a fixed interval of time , I tried the Alarm Manager and BroadcastReciever but … I cannot Find Any way to start this from the broadcast receiver…
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//Toast.makeText(context, "Location Cordinates Updating!!!!.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Toast.makeText(context, "Current Location :",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent startIntent = new Intent(context, LocUpdator.class);
context.startActivity(startIntent);
startIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Above is the BroadcastReciever
The AlarmActivity is below
public class AlarmActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
public void startAlert(View view) {
//EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.time);
int i = 20;//Integer.parseInt(text.getText().toString());
//int i= 10;
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
this.getApplicationContext(), 234324243, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+ (i * 1000), pendingIntent);
//long timerInterval= i*1000;
//alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), timerInterval, pendingIntent);
//finish();
Toast.makeText(this, "DB Update Interval set as " + i + " seconds",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Please Help Me out here 🙂

Read my comment and then use this for delay…
For a repeating task:
For a single run of a task:
task being the method to be executed
after the time to initial execution
(interval the time for repeating the execution)
