Tizen Native API  3.0

The Alarm API allows setting an "alarm clock" for the delivery of a notification at some point in the future.

Required Header

#include <app_alarm.h>

Overview

Mobile devices typically give constant access to information from various sources. Some of this information is best delivered through alarms - the most obvious case is a calendar scheduling application which lets you know when a meeting is about to start. Alarms are certainly better than actively waiting in a loop. They are also better than putting an interface to sleep because they do not block your main UI thread. Use of alarms helps build smooth user experiences and implements unattended data synchronization tasks. If an application is installed after setting the alarm, your alarm is canceled automatically.
When the alarm is expired, Alarm Manager will turn on the LCD to prohibit background jobs. If you want to use alarm API without turning on the LCD, you can use alarm_schedule_after_delay(). There are 3 ways to set an alarm.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
alarm_schedule_once_after_delay() Sets an alarm to be triggered at specific time once
alarm_schedule_once_at_date() Sets an alarm to be triggered after specific delay once
alarm_schedule_with_recurrence_week_flag() Sets an alarm to be triggered at specific time with recurrent days of the week(can repeat on days of the week)
alarm_schedule_after_delay() Sets an alarm to be triggered after specific time(Since 3.0, this api does not support exact period and delay for minimizing the wakeups of the device. The system can adjust when the alarm expires.)

int alarm_schedule_after_delay ( app_control_h  app_control,
int  delay,
int  period,
int *  alarm_id 
)

Sets an alarm to be triggered after a specific time.

The alarm will first go off delay seconds later and then will go off every certain amount of time defined using period seconds. To cancel the alarm, call alarm_cancel() with alarm_id.

If the operation of app_control is APP_CONTROL_OPERATION_DEFAULT, the package information is mandatory to explicitly launch the application. Since 3.0, this api does not support exact period and delay for minimizing the wakeups of the device. The system can adjust when the alarm expires. If you want to trigger an alarm exactly, see
See also:
alarm_schedule_once_after_delay() Since 3.0If app_control is specified with service-application, the application is only allowed to run on which has Background Category. Since 3.0If the appid of app_control is not specified, this api is not allowed. In other words, the explicit app_control is only allowed.
Parameters:
[in]app_controlThe destination app_control to perform a specific task when the alarm is triggered
[in]delayThe amount of time before the first execution (in seconds). Since 3.0, Although this is inexact, the alarm will not fire before this time
[in]periodThe amount of time between subsequent alarms (in seconds). Since 3.0, This value does not guarantee the accuracy. The actual interval is calculated by the OS. The minimum value is 600sec

)

Sets an alarm to be triggered at a specific time.

Deprecated:
Deprecated since 3.0. [Use alarm_schedule_once_at_date() instead]

The date describes the time of the first occurrence. If period is bigger than 0, the alarm will be scheduled after the period time. If period is set to 0, the alarm will go off just once without repetition. To cancel the alarm, call alarm_cancel() with alarm_id.

int alarm_schedule_noti_after_delay ( notification_h  noti,
int  delay,
int  period,
int *  alarm_id 
)

Sets a notification alarm to be triggered after a specific delay.

The alarm will first go off after delay seconds. The alarm will then go off every period seconds until canceled. To cancel the alarm, call alarm_cancel() with alarm_id.

Remarks:
If the application is uninstalled after setting an alarm, the alarm is cancelled automatically. This function is a minimally intrusive way to trigger alarms when precision is not important. The system will adjust the delay and period requests to suit internal needs; the requests will be treated as minimum values. Note that period cannot be less than 600 seconds, if a smaller request is supplied it will be silently adjusted to a request of 600. When the alarm goes off, Alarm Manager will turn on LCD to prohibit background jobs.
Parameters:
[in]notiThe notification to be posted when the alarm is triggered
[in]delayThe amount of time before the first execution (in seconds).
[in]periodThe amount of time between subsequent alarms (in seconds).
[out]alarm_idThe ID which uniquely identifies the scheduled alarm

Remarks:
The alarm_id must be id of alarm which will launch global application. The function returns an error (error code ALARM_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED_APP) if it is not. Note that the application which is launched by global alarm runs in the user session that is logged in currently. It doesn't run in the session for the user who registers the global alarm. So, if the application uses application's private data for each user to handling the app_control for the alarm, it might not show proper data to the user. Therefore, We recommend to contain all the data for the alarm to the app_control handle for the global alarm. Then, the launched application would be able to use the data to show proper alarm UX to the user.
