Question
I’m creating a service for my app, but there’s probably pritty simple thing I can’t realize. Better I say I don’t know how to do this probably.
I’d like that my Service refreshs the data every hour if its between 6am and 6pm. How is this possible in a easy way which is also battery-efficient. If you have a some code snippets or a great tutorial for me I would be very happy, because I really like to learn this.
Best Regards

You can use
AlarmManagerto start the proceedings. First of all you need to check the current time that is current hour which you can get usingCalender.HOUR_OF_DAY. Then you can check the current hour is between 6 to 18. If the condition satisfies you can refresh the data else you can cancel the Alarm and set it to the next period again.
