[android-developers] Re: Help for stop service with Alarm Manager

I've seen this before and I cannot say that I know the answer for certain: it's never happened to me.

I will say this:

1) I'm deeply suspicious of the 0 you are passing as the flag used to identify the pending intent.  That is the main way of identifying the intent you want to stop.  Create a constant and use it.

2) The way you cancel a pending intent is by creating an *exact* copy of it.  I suggest, then, that you use exactly the same code to create the intent that you use, for either starting or stopping the service.  That's way less error prone.

I have created the start alarm as shown below

 public class MyScheduleReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {       // Restart service every 30 seconds  private static final long REPEAT_TIME = 1000 * 5;    @Override  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {    AlarmManager service = (AlarmManager) context      .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);   Intent i = new Intent(context, MyStartServiceReceiver.class);   PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i,      PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);  Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();  cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, 5);  service.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,      cal.getTimeInMillis(), REPEAT_TIME, pending);

I crate this for stop alarm and i call it from main activity.Manifest i think is ok...Work repeat but no stop!!!

      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);      setContentView(R.layout.setup);        sendBroadcast(new Intent(this,MyScheduleReceiver.class));    }    public void StopRepeat(View view) {        sendBroadcast(new Intent(this,MyStopReceiver.class));       }     public class MyStartServiceReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {       public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {      Toast.makeText(context, "Repeat service!.",             Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();      }      public class MyStopReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {      // Restart service every 30 seconds    private static final long REPEAT_TIME = 1000 * 5;      @Override    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {      AlarmManager service = (AlarmManager) context          .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);      Intent istop = new Intent(context, MyStartServiceReceiver.class);      PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, istop,          PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);      Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();      cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, 5);          service.cancel(pending);

But the service is not stopping. What might be the issue?Thanks.
