I'm currently working on an app that will tell students when their classes start with a simple notification/SMS even when the application/phone is off.
My first question:
Is an SMS better for this? Or a push notification?
I've looked at several tutorials for the alarm manager class and how to implement with an SMS message, but none have helped. I find myself getting confused as to where the alarm manager class instance should go. I'm looking for a complete guide to alarm manager + SMS/notification tutorial.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I've had problems with this for a looooooooooong time. If you want to find my source code it's at http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/mtsu-andriod/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2F%20mtsu-andriod%20--username%20craigmurphy88%40gmail.com%2FMTSU%20Android
I was able to do exactly what I needed with android notifications. All thats left for me now is integrating the alarm manager with it! :)
