how can i make an alarm application in Blackberry?
this means i have a time picker where user selects time, i then save that time and show a dialog when the system time matches with that time.
i have used RealtimeClockListener
and the method clockUpdated()
will give me time at every minute. now when i closed the app that method is also closed
i want to execute that method if the app is closed or not
public void clockUpdated()
{
int hour = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minute = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MINUTE);
//System.out.println("----"+Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.AM_PM));
String am = ""+Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.AM_PM);
}

You will have to use an alternate entry point and start a background application on device startup for listening to the RealTimeClockListener event. Use persistence to store and share the alarm time data.
See Running in the Background Part 1 and Part 2 and Creating an Always-On Experience for more details.
