Android Question How to check the startServiceAt status ?

[palmzac]

Hi,

How to check the scheduled startServiceAt status ? I want to know that this service was scheduled or not. Thank you !

Android uses AlarmManager (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html) to schedule apps / services to run in the future, so I suspect that B4A's StartServiceAt makes a call to AlarmManager.set - but I don't know if there is a B4A equivalent of this method. Maybe you could use Java Object or Reflection to call it directly?

But I want to know a B4A solution.

So like I said - you could possibly use JavaObject or Reflection. These are both "B4A solutions" - & if there is no B4A equivalent to AlarmManager.set, then those are probably the only options you have.

I don't understand. Would you give me a source sample ? Thank you very much !

If you click on the links in my previous post, you can read the documentation on those functionalities.

You need to track the state of scheduled tasks yourself. However you can always call StartServiceAt to schedule a task (there will only be a single task anyway) or CancelScheduledService to cancel a scheduled task if such exists.

Erel,

Thank you ! I have a BIG BIGBIG problem that I cannot check the "StartServiceAt to schedule a task" on my project. "there will only be a single task anyway" is a GOOD ANSWER. NOW, everything is OK. Thank you very much !
