Broadcast receiver onReceive() getting called multiple times
android, broadcastreceiver, eclipse
Solution
It's strange that you'd be getting multiple timers started. Try passing `PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT` as the last argument inside of `PendingIntent.getBroadcast`
Problem
I have a boot_completed receiver which gets notified on boot. ``` <receiver android:name=".BootCompletedReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> ``` But it appears to get called multiple times. I start a timer, and then a service, which leads to multiple timers, and then the service gets reset and runs again. Creating timer like this. This is not a repeating timer, is it?: ``` private void setAlarm(Context context, long interval) { try { AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); Intent intent = new Intent(RespondAlarmReceiver.ACTION_RESPOND_SMS); intent.putExtra("isChecking", true); PendingIntent alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0); int alarmType = AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP; long triggerAtTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + interval; //interval is 60,000 alarms.set(alarmType, triggerAtTime, alarmIntent); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e(DEBUG_TAG, "Unable to set alarm"); } ``` As a side note, if anybody knows how to attach the Eclipse debugger to the Boot-up broadcast receiver or to a running service, that would be fantastic.
