I want to show the notifications in the specified time. Like I have a start time from when I want to see the notifications and the end time till when I want to see the notifications i.e the list of strings which should be displayed in a given time slot.
Also the list can be of any number specified by the user.
How can I decide the time of showing the notifications dynamically? Or how can I divide the time slot and strings uniformly?
For more clarifications here is the screen which shows the start time, end time and the count of strings to shown in notifications:
Please help. Thank you...
EDIT :
I am trying the given solution.
List<String> times = new ArrayList<>();
try {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm", Locale.ENGLISH);
Date start = dateFormat.parse(startTime);
Date end = dateFormat.parse(endTime);
long minutes = ((end.getTime() - start.getTime()) / 1000 / 60) /
howMany;
for (int i = 0; i < howMany; i++) {
Calendar calobj = Calendar.getInstance();
calobj.setTime(start);
calobj.add(Calendar.MINUTE, (int) (i * minutes));
String time = dateFormat.format(calobj.getTime());
times.add(time);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d("timesList", times.toString());
return times;
}
public static void showNotification(
List<String> timeList, Context context,
String quote
) {
Intent notifyIntent = new Intent(context, MyNewIntentReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0,
notifyIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT
);
notifyIntent.putExtra("title", context.getString(R.string.app_name));
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
for (String time : timeList) {
final int random = new Random().nextInt();
notifyIntent.putExtra("notify_id", random);
notifyIntent.putExtra(
"quote",
quote
);
Date date;
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss");
try {
date = dateFormat.parse(time);
System.out.println(date);
alarmManager
.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
date.getTime(),
date.getTime(),
pendingIntent
);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}
In my Receiver building the notification.
public class MyNewIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public MyNewIntentReceiver() {
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(
Context.POWER_SERVICE);
PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock =
powerManager.newWakeLock(
PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,
"dailyfaith:wakelog"
);
wakeLock.acquire();
// get id, titleText and bigText from intent
int NOTIFY_ID = intent.getIntExtra("notify_id", 0);
String titleText = intent.getStringExtra("title");
String bigText = intent.getStringExtra("quote");
// Create intent.
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
// use NOTIFY_ID as requestCode
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
NOTIFY_ID, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
// get res.
Resources res = context.getResources();
// build notification.
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_daily_faith_icon)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentTitle(titleText)
.setSound(RingtoneManager
.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION))
.setContentText(bigText);
Log.d("notificationBuild", "Notification Builder set");
/* // check vibration.
if (mPrefs.getBoolean("vibration", true)) {
builder.setVibrate(new long[]{0, 50});
}*/
/* // create default title if empty.
if (titleText.equals("")) {
builder.setContentTitle(
context.getString(R.string.app_name));
}*/
// show notification. check for delay.
builder.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis());
Log.d("notificationSetWhen", "Notification set when triggered");
Notification notification = new Notification.BigTextStyle(builder)
.bigText(bigText).build();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFY_ID, notification);
wakeLock.release();
}
}
From Activity :
@Override
public void onTimeSet(
TimePickerDialog view, int hourOfDay, int minute, int second
) {
String hourString = hourOfDay < 10 ? "0" + hourOfDay : "" + hourOfDay;
String minuteString = minute < 10 ? "0" + minute : ":" + minute;
String time = hourString + minuteString;
if (startTimeSelected) {
startTime = time;
textViewStartTime.setText(time);
}
else if (endTimeSelected) {
endTime = time;
textViewEndTime.setText(time);
}
String count = (String) textViewQuoteCount.getText();
count.replace("X","");
if(startTimeSelected && endTimeSelected)
{
Utils.setAlarmTimeList(startTime, endTime, Integer.parseInt(count));
Utils.showNotification(timeList); // not sure how to send the list of strings - quotes
}
tpd = null;
}
I am passing the time array to pending intent, but notification is not getting triggered. I thought for alarm I also need to give the current date so I again formatted time for each notification.
But that also did not work. Any suggestions?
EDIT :
I have updated the answer by Erwin. I am getting the date also with the time now but still as I debug the receiver is also not getting called.
I have set the receiver in the manifest file :
<receiver
android:name = ".MyNewIntentReceiver"
android:enabled = "true"
android:exported = "false" />
Log of timesList
D/timesList: [Tue May 19 16:21:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:24:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:27:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:30:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:33:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:36:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:39:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:42:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:45:00 GMT+05:30 2020, Tue May 19 16:48:00 GMT+05:30 2020]
What can be the issue:
I tried to give current time to the pending intent as :
alarmManager
.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
System.currentTimeMillis(),
System.currentTimeMillis(),
pendingIntent
);
Then I got the notification. But not getting when I am setting a date into that.

Not working for date.getTime(), System.currentTimeInMilliseconds() working for SystemClock
