The main problem appears to be with this line:

calAlarm.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, viewFunctions.getDayInt(strDays[j]));

What you need to realise is this is just setting the Day of the week which will be displayed in output - It is not changing the underlying date to match, which I think is what you are expecting.

Try using the following code to alter your dates to set an alarm for each day selected:

String strSpit[] = time.split(":");
String strDays[] = reminderList.get(i).getDays().split(","); //"days": "1,2,3,4,5,6,7"

Calendar todayWithTime = Calendar.getInstance(); //setting current time is redundant
todayWithTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.parseInt(strSpit[0]));
todayWithTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.parseInt(strSpit[1]));

Calendar alarm;
int today = todayWithTime.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
int offset, target;

for (int j = 0; j < strDays.length; j++) {

    alarm = (Calendar) todayWithTime.clone(); //now you have todays date, but correct time
    target = strDays[j];
    //saturday is biggest day of week
    offset  = (Calendar.SATURDAY - today + target) % 7; //work out how many days in the future the next occurance of this day is
    alarm.add(Calendar.DATE, offset);

    ... // the rest stays the same

}
