[android-developers] Re: How can I know date changed? seems android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED works not properly

Hi Adamphillips,
Thanks for your help. But in my testing, the "Intent.
ACTION_DATE_CHANGED" action never be broadcast whatever I set time to
past or future.
Could you please explain more about how to use AlartManager to know
when 12am hits?

Hi Bytes,
Do you mean "ACTION_TIME_TICK"? this will broadcast every minutes,
it's too frequent for me.
