Android Question How to use next scheduled time with StartReceiverAt?

[asales]

I use this code - based in this snippet from Erel - to start a service 3 times on day.

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    Dim t As Long
    t = FindNextTime(Array As Double(8, 12+20/60, 18+40/60))

    StartServiceAtExact(Me,t,True)
    StopService(Me)
    Service.StopAutomaticForeground
End Sub

Now my doubts:

1 - There is no StartReceiverAtExact. The new code - based in the StartReceiverAt - would it look like this?

Private Sub Receiver_Receive (FirstTime As Boolean, StartingIntent As Intent)
    Dim t As Long
    t = FindNextTime(Array As Double(8, 12+20/60, 18+40/60))

    StartReceiverAt(Me,t,True)
End Sub

2 - There is no similar code to this lines? I can remove it?

StopService(Me)
Service.StopAutomaticForeground

3 - Do I still need this permission in the manifest?

AddPermission(android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM)

Thanks in advance.

1.
StartServiceAtExact will work with receivers. The problem with this method is that Google made it more difficult to acquire the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM on Android 13+. It is not a regular permission.

If exact scheduling isn't needed then simply use StartReceiverAt and remove the SCHEDULE_EXACT permission.

2. Remove it.
3. Remove it.
