8. The setAlarm stub from Step 8 is used to create a new Alarm that fi res an Intent that should
result in the AutoResponder being disabled.
You’ll need to create a new Alarm object and a BroadcastReceiver that listens for it before
disabling the auto-responder accordingly.
8.1. Start by creating the action String that will represent the Alarm Intent.
public static final String alarmAction =
“com.paad.emergencyresponder.AUTO_RESPONSE_EXPIRED”;
8.2. Then create a new Broadcast Receiver instance that listens for an Intent that includes
the action specifi ed in Step 7. When this Intent is received, it should modify the autoresponder
settings to disable the automatic response.
private BroadcastReceiver stopAutoResponderReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(alarmAction)) {
String preferenceName = getString(R.string.user_preferences);
SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences(preferenceName, 0);
}
};
}
Editor editor = sp.edit();
editor.putBoolean(getString(R.string.autoRespondPref), false);
editor.commit();
8.3. Finally, complete the setAlarm method. It should cancel the existing alarm if the autoresponder
is turned off; otherwise, it should update it with the latest expiry time.
PendingIntent intentToFire;
private void setAlarm(int respondForIndex) {
// Create the alarm and register the alarm intent receiver.
AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
if (intentToFire == null) {
Intent intent = new Intent(alarmAction);
