What doesn't work?

Have you tested it on an Android 4 device?

In the table tripoli "dte" field, the date format is incorrect.

may be in the sql editor the format is incorrect, but i use the exact format date in b4a which is Suitable for it.
as u see in the code i call this sub before executing the sql query

B4X:

SetDateTimeFormat(false)

then recall it after the execting

B4X:

SetDateTimeFormat(true)

B4X:

public Sub SetDateTimeFormat(toDefault As Boolean)
    If toDefault = False Then
        DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM"
        DateTime.TimeFormat = "HH:mm"
    Else
        DateTime.DateFormat = DateTime.DeviceDefaultDateFormat
        DateTime.TimeFormat = DateTime.DeviceDefaultTimeFormat
    End If
End Sub

There are two things that can happen:

1. The next scheduled time is wrong.
2. The scheduled time is correct but the OS doesn't send the alarm at the exact time.

The second issue can happen on newer devices, so if it happens on Android 4 then it is most probably a different issue. Add some log messages and verify that you are setting the next alarm correctly.

Make sure to run your app in release mode and don't kill it with a swipe.

So it would go.
I have my changes with '05 .07.2017 / Rh
characterized.

There is still one error: If the alarm is not running for an entire minute and you end the Activity "AlarmActivity" with the BackKey.

Look at it.

the alarm works fine , but i have some changes on it :
in the Main activity in event Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean :

B4X:

        'StartService(AlarmService)                        ' Lazreg : 18/07/2017  i comment this line   and remark it to ** 
        CancelScheduledService(AlarmService)
        StopService(AlarmService)

        ' Lazreg : 18/07/2017   
        StartService(AlarmService) ' **

and in the Service_Start event

B4X:

     StopService("") '**
     StartServiceAt("", DateTime.Now + 30 * 1000, False)
     'StopService("")                    ' Lazreg : 18/07/2017  i comment this line  and remark it to ** in the first line

i tested the alarm on real devices :

Samsung Tab with Android ver 4.4.2
the alarm fires all the times with Remove from Recent Apps after every alarm.

Samsung J2 with Android ver 5.1.1
the alarm fires most of the times with Remove from Recent Apps after every alarm.

Samsung Note 4 with Android ver 6.0.1
the alarm fires sometimes with Remove from Recent Apps after every alarm.

how to schedule and process to fire alarm in the exact time especially devices with android ver > 6
and how to display the widget as designed ? i just see one label in the widget.
thank u so much for your help..
i updated the project file in the first post

Change the entry in the manifest from

android:targetSdkVersion="25"
to
android:targetSdkVersion="19"

You must first uninstall your app. This could also be the reason why the app runs differently on different SDKs.

Enable USB debug mode and connect to the device. This will allow you to see the error message.
