Making an alarm program - not working
<p>I am attempting to make alarm program. So far I have written an activity in which the user can select the time he wishes the alarm to go off. This is working fine. Now I need to use the alarm manger to tell the OS to call some of my code at a certain point in the future. Just to test this in a crude way I added the following code that gets executed when I press a test button in my main activity:</p>

<pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), to_call_when_alarm_goes_off.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarms.cancel(pIntent);

alarms.setRepeating(
        AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
        System.currentTimeMillis()+1000, 
        AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, 
        pIntent);
</code></pre>

<p>This should mean that some code called to_call_when_alarm_goes_off will get executed one second after I press the button.... Now this is where I'm a little confused. I'm not sure quite how/where to set up "to_call_when_alarm_goes_off". What I did was simply add a new class to my project as follows:</p>

<pre><code>package com.mycompany.alarmprogram;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

public class to_call_when_alarm_goes_off extends BroadcastReceiver
{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.i("ALARM","TIME TO WAKE UP!!!");

    }

}
</code></pre>

<p>All the code compiles, and when I press the button all the code in the first code snippet gets executed without crashing - but one second later the broadcast receiver code is not executed. Clearly I am misunderstanding something.</p>
