Set alarm on specified date/time with DatePicker/TimePicker

Last exercise how to "implement and read DatePicker and TimePicker". This post set alarm on the set date/time.

Set alarm on specified date/time with DatePicker/TimePicker


Create AlarmReceiver.java, its onReceive() method will be called once set time reached.
package com.example.androiddatepicker;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
Toast.makeText(arg0, "Alarm received!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

}


MainActivity.java
package com.example.androiddatepicker;

import java.util.Calendar;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlarmManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.DatePicker;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.TimePicker;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity{

DatePicker pickerDate;
TimePicker pickerTime;
Button buttonSetAlarm;
TextView info;

final static int RQS_1 = 1;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

info = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.info);
pickerDate = (DatePicker)findViewById(R.id.pickerdate);
pickerTime = (TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.pickertime);

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();

pickerDate.init(
now.get(Calendar.YEAR),
now.get(Calendar.MONTH),
now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),
null);

pickerTime.setCurrentHour(now.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
pickerTime.setCurrentMinute(now.get(Calendar.MINUTE));

buttonSetAlarm = (Button)findViewById(R.id.setalarm);
buttonSetAlarm.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Calendar current = Calendar.getInstance();

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(pickerDate.getYear(),
pickerDate.getMonth(),
pickerDate.getDayOfMonth(),
pickerTime.getCurrentHour(),
pickerTime.getCurrentMinute(),
00);

if(cal.compareTo(current) <= 0){
//The set Date/Time already passed
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Invalid Date/Time",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
setAlarm(cal);
}

}});
}

private void setAlarm(Calendar targetCal){

info.setText("\n\n***\n"
+ "Alarm is set@ " + targetCal.getTime() + "\n"
+ "***\n");

Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), RQS_1, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, targetCal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
}

}
