Android Question CancelScheduledService - Does not seem to canel ?

[Jmu5667]

Hi


The following code is for scheduling a service:

Sub schedulecallback(timeToAlarm As Long)
   
   Dim p As Phone

   ' // zero check
   If timeToAlarm = 0 Then
       Return
   End If

   
   If p.SdkVersion >= 23 Then
       Dim srvAt As JavaObject
       srvAt.InitializeContext
       srvAt.RunMethod("StartServiceAtExactWhileIdle", Array(timeToAlarm, True))
   Else
       'mod_functions.writelog("svc_watchdog(), call back using StartServiceAtExact()")
       StartServiceAtExact(Me,timeToAlarm,True)
   End If
   
End Sub


#If JAVA
   //import android.app.Service;
   import android.app.AlarmManager;
   import android.app.PendingIntent;
   import android.content.Context;
   import android.content.Intent;
   import android.os.PowerManager;

   public void StartServiceAtExactWhileIdle(Long time, Boolean wakeUp){
      AlarmManager alMan = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
      Intent intent = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(), this.getClass());
      PendingIntent penInt = PendingIntent.getService(this.getApplicationContext(), 1, intent, 134217728);
      alMan.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(wakeUp?AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP:AlarmManager.RTC, time, penInt);
   }
#End If

When the app is exiting, the CancelScheduledService does not seem to do the job, as the service start again.

Any idea's ?

John.

Why are you using inline Java for this? You should use the built-in StartServiceAtExact.

Was there not an issue with this before where the service's did not start at the correct time and this code was published to overcome it, I remember some developers had problems with Alarms not being triggered ?

I will do as you suggest, but is there an issue with the java code I am using and cancelScheduledService ?

Yes. It is incorrect.

This was fixed several versions ago.
