Android Question SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle restarting 1 minute late

rleiman · Dec 29, 2017

Hi Everyone,

I'm calling SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle with a long number representing a time such as 9:00:00 but my service restarts half of the times at 9:01 and the other half it's right on the mark.

Is anyone else having this happen. If so, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

Assuming that you are setting the time correctly then there is nothing else that you can do except of waking your app 30 seconds earlier.

Hi Erel,

Thanks. Yes, the time is set correctly so I think I will set the rescheduling 30 seconds earlier and set a timer to check for the correct time to run the rest of the code in the service.

It is a good idea to make the service a foreground service after it started. Otherwise the OS might kill it after a few seconds.

Hi Erel,

It's in now. Thanks so much.
