How can I keep track of when my repeating alarms goes off and update the set value?

Question

The way the alarm manager currently works, I have to use:

//Set Alarm to Repeat
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeInMilis, interval, pendingIntent);

to schedule a repeating alarm.

Currently, I'm pulling a time string from the database, converting it to miliseconds and setting this repeating alarm based on an interval in the database.

I am now wondering, what can I do so that when the alarm goes off, I can update the same time data in the database to a new future alarm date?

That way, I can pull when the next alarm time is from the database and display it on the screen.

Answer 1

you can achieve it using this way : -set custom broadcast receiver at the time of Alarm goes off ,in side onReceive() save what ever stuff you want in to preferences or sqlite .
