Android AlarmManager not working on Emulator

Question

Another complain about AlarmManager (hoping for a quick solution). I am using the Android Emulator for developing. I found an allegedly working example so I tried to use it. I did the following:

1. Added a receiver string to the manifest file.

    <receiver android:name=".SchHandler" android:process=":remote" />
   

2. Created the main activity and used its onCreate.

   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
       Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
       SchHandler handler = new SchHandler(this, bundle, 1);
   }
   

3. Created a BroadcastReceiver to create and listen to alarms.

   public class SchHandler extends BroadcastReceiver {
       private final String REMINDER_BUNDLE = "ReminderBundle";
   
       public SchHandler (Context context, Bundle extras, int timeoutInSeconds) {    
           Toast.makeText(context, "Scheduling...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
           Log.d("Debug", "Sch");
   
           AlarmManager alarmMgr = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
           Intent intent = new Intent(context, SchHandler.class);
           PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
   
           Toast.makeText(context, "Time:" + System.currentTimeMillis(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
           alarmMgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
           System.currentTimeMillis() + 2000, 5000, pendingIntent);    
       }
   
       @Override
       public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          Log.e(REMINDER_BUNDLE, "Receive");
          Toast.makeText(context, "Testing", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       }
   }
   

I tried it with set, setRepeating, nothing worked. What else should I try?

Answer 1

I modified the name of my receiver to its fully qualified version, and it turned out that I used its package name instead of the class name. After setting it properly, I got it working.
