I am testing the extension on both my own app and the alarmmanager test app and notice the followings:
call alarmmanager.Start method seemed not working, I tested interval=ONCE, instance=current time and =current time + some delay). In both cases the alarm was not fired.
call alarmmanager.StartRepeating method only worked if the hour+minute inputs were set to at least one minute passing current time, otherwise the first alarm only fired after the specified interval was passed (e.g. current time is 1602, interval=FIFTEEN_MINUTES, if hour+minute=1602, the first alarm fires only at around 1617, if hour+minute=1603, alarms fire at 1603, then at 1618).
I am testing on Galaxy A40s running Android 11. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your advice. But as I mentioned, using call alarmmanager.Start method with interval=ONCE, alarm was not fired even if I specified a future time. Tested using the sample alarmmanager app.
On porpuse i didn't set the date, i want it to work first on the time and it worked it show the startText "Hi" but not the notification, that is my original problem, but okay i set the date and it shows this
I have been unable to get the alarm manager to work. I get the error that it needs permission. It appears the permission is set after turning it on, but the error keeps going.
The precompiled APK from the download folder installs and works fine. However, nothing I compile works.
I can manually go settings > apps > MyApp > Alarms &Notifications > Alow Switch. Then it works. Is there another name for this permission or a way to ask for this permission?
Ok thank you
I just got my Samsung A54 updated to Android 14 and can confirm the issue on Android 14. I will check what needs to be done. The extension btw. already uses SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM.
This is the version as of Sept 26th, 2023
Extension rebuilt to avoid "ERROR: DX returned an error code" for projects, having 2 extensions or more which use proguard to obfuscate their code, see also Pull request 3004.
EDIT: There is a new behavioral change for Android 14, see also
now the extension does not use SetExact anymore, because according to the Google recommendations Applications are strongly discouraged from using exact alarms unnecessarily as they reduce the OS's ability to minimize battery use.
Please find the updated version 7b in the download folder
This extension only works on some phone models. When I bought this extension in 2021 it worked well. but since 2022 it has stopped showing messages. wasted money. (the test apk file that Taifun sends also does not work on Samsung A10 Android 11)
Google updates the Android system from year to year and so also extensions need to be updated to still work. I not only keep the extension up to date to follow the new restrictions from Google, I also provide the updates for free.
The only thing you have to do is to update to the latest version of the extension and adjust your code to follow the latest Google rules. It looks like you failed to do this.
If your app stopped showing messages, you now have to request post notifications permission. Read the documentation and check the updated example project about how to do it.
what is your use case? This might be possible in combination with the itoo extension... you might want to say more about what you need and I can think about how to get it running...
