how can I best set a timer that is triggered every day at e.g. 23 uhr.

if you want to use a TIMER then you have to run the app 24/7 using a foregroundservice.

Use StartServiceAtExact and let a service run at the specified time.
Note that will be not exact this time on higher androids.

Do NOT use the Starterservice for this.

the app is always active and in the foreground.
and always 'on

AddPermission(android.permission.WAKE_LOCK)

if i then start the app with
StartServiceAtExact

that I must also always somehow reset the date ?

StartServiceAtExact run only ONCE. If ou need start it again somewhen then call StartServiceAtExact after the Service has done it´s Job. Means reshedule the service-start.

hi DonManfred

i have the whole thing at an access control
when people log in i could attach it to this process

that is always called with the same data (regarding time and date). (e.g. that the job is called today at 23 o'clock)

it will be overwritten again and again and will be called only once ?
