I am having an Android app where I am setting up some task using Broadcast Receiver and Alarm Manager. It's a very simple app like reminder where user create a reminder and system will awake the user with toast and a beep.
In my activity I set up the task as follows:
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
MyAlarm alarm = new MyAlarm(MainActivity.this, bundle, sec);
My Alarm class is as follows:
public class MyAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
private final String REMINDER_BUNDLE = "MyReminderBundle";
public MyAlarm(){ }
public MyAlarm(Context context, Bundle extras, int timeoutInSeconds){
AlarmManager alarmMgr =
(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyAlarm.class);
intent.putExtra(REMINDER_BUNDLE, extras);
PendingIntent pendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Calendar time = Calendar.getInstance();
time.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
time.add(Calendar.SECOND, timeoutInSeconds);
alarmMgr.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, time.getTimeInMillis(),
pendingIntent);
}
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Received", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
try{
playSound(context);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
My playsound code is as follows:
public void playSound(Context context) throws IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException, IllegalStateException,
IOException {
Uri soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(context, soundUri);
final AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
if (audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM) != 0) {
mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
mMediaPlayer.setLooping(false);
mMediaPlayer.prepare();
mMediaPlayer.start();
}
}
My problem is that it works good on Emulator and other device however it does not work with Samsung and Micromax devices.
getList() method:
public String getList(Context context,Date c)
{
String check = "Default";
SQLiteDatabase sampleDB= context.openOrCreateDatabase(SAMPLE_DB_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE, null);
Cursor cc = sampleDB.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM " + SAMPLE_TABLE_NAME, null);
Log.d("Sent date is :-",c.toString());
if(cc != null)
if(cc.moveToFirst())
do
{
Log.d("in do", "Success");
Date v = new Date(cc.getString(2).trim());
if(v.getTime() - c.getTime() >= 0 && v.getTime() - c.getTime() <=1000){
Log.d("inside first if", "Success");
Log.d("Number is",cc.getString(1));
if(cc.getString(3).equals("ON")){
Log.d("inside second if", "Success");
try{
playSound(context);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
Toast.makeText(context, "A call is scheduled for" + cc.getString(1)+".and it is about to be triggered", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
check = cc.getString(1);
break;
}
}
}while(cc.moveToNext());
sampleDB.close();
return check;
}
Below is my error logcat:

Instead of
Date v = new Date(cc.getString(2).trim());
Try something like this:
SimpleDateFormat parserSDF=new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
String dateInString = "7-Jun-2013";
try {
Date v= formatter.parse(dateInString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Make sure your string is in valid format mentioned in SimpleDateFormat.
Checkout the changed SimpleDateFormat
SimpleDateFormat parserSDF=new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
