getExtra from Intent launched from a pendingIntent
- by spagi
Hi. I am trying to make some alarms after the user selects something with a time from a list and create a notification for it at the given time. My problem is that the "showname" that a putExtra on my Intent cant be received at the broadcast receiver. It always get null value.
This is the way I do it for most of my intents but I think this time maybe because of the pendingIntent or the broadcastReceiver something need to be done differentelly.
Thank you
The function that sends the Intent through the pending intent
public void setAlarm(String showname,String time) {
String[] hourminute=time.split(":");
String hour = hourminute[0];
String minute = hourminute[1];
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
rightNow.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.parseInt(hour));
rightNow.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.parseInt(minute));
rightNow.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
long t=rightNow.getTimeInMillis();
long t1=System.currentTimeMillis();
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, alarmreceiver.class);
Bundle c = new Bundle();
c.putString("showname", showname);//This is the value I want to pass
intent.putExtras(c);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, rightNow.getTimeInMillis(),pendingIntent);
//Log.e("ALARM", "time of millis: "+System.currentTimeMillis());
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm set", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("ALARM", "ERROR IN CODE:"+e.toString());
}
}
And this is the receiving end
public class alarmreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Bundle b = intent.getExtras();
String showname=b.getString("showname");//This is where I suppose to receive it but its null
NotificationManager manger = (NotificationManager) context
.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,
"TVGuide ?pe???µ?s?", System.currentTimeMillis());
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
new Intent(context, tvguide.class), 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "?? ?????aµµa ?e????se",
showname, contentIntent);
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCE;
notification.sound = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/dominating.mp3");
notification.vibrate = new long[]{100, 250, 100, 500};
manger.notify(1, notification);
}
}
