set repeated reminder that repeats every month

I am taking two dates from the user in my android code. I want to set reminder for every month which are in between those two dates. If first date is : 1st jan 2015 and other date is 1st Feb 2016 then I want to set reminder for the 1st day every month in between these two dates. I tried using alarm manager but couldnt able to repeat alarm. Please help. thank you

First you'll need to create 2 Calendar objects to store the dates to store the dates set by the user. Then proceed by either creating pending intents for each date in a for loop by incrementing the value of month. Assign all the pending intents to your AlarmManager and fire them with FLAG_ONE_SHOT.

Please provide your code so we could better understand your problem.

One method might be to have your alarm receiver set the next alarm when it is called (e.g. it activates on 1 Jan 2015 and sets the next one for 1 Feb 2015), so you're always setting one ahead.
