Android Pending Intent Example

Here is source code of the Program demonstrate a Pending Intent in Android. The program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system using Eclipse Ide. The program output is also shown below.

A Pending Intent is commonly used to package Intents that will be fired in response to a future event, such as a Widget or Notification being clicked.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
      @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
             super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
             setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
             Button b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
             b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                 @Override
                  public void onClick(View v) {
                      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                        startAlert(v);
                  }
		});
	}
 
	@Override
	public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
		// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
                 getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
                 return true;
	}
 
	public void startAlert(View view) {
                EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
                int time = Integer.parseInt(text.getText().toString());
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyReceiver.class);
                PendingIntent pend_intent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
                            this.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);
		//calls the alarm
                 AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(
                                        ALARM_SERVICE);
                 alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()
                   + (time * 10000), pend_intent);
	}
}

MyReceiver

 
package com.example.alert_broadcast_receiver;
 
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Toast;
 
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
 
	@Override
	public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
                  Toast.makeText(context, "Times Up!!!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
	}
