Handler postDelayed delayed longer as configured

Question

I try to develop a simple timer beeper, that peep hourly. For the timing I use a Service and handler, here the example:

    void onStart(...){
        handle         


        

Answer 1

You'll probably have better luck using the AlarmManager for such a long delay. Handler is best for ticks and timeouts while your app is in the foreground.
