AlarmManager Calling Function in Same Class
- by jsc123
I am trying to give a LocationClient a two-minute period to connect before calling getLastLocation on it. Initially I implemented this with a Timer (and TimerTask), but because Timers do not work in sleepmode, I would like to translate it to an AlarmManager. However, I am a bit confused as to how to do this, considering an AlarmManager calls another class, whereas I want to remain in the same class and simply delay for a two-minute period.
This is how it looks with a Timer.
Timer theTimer = new Timer();
theTimer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
if(checkIfGooglePlay() && checkTime()) {
getPostLocation();
stopSelf();
mLocationClient.disconnect();
}
}
}, TWO_MINUTES);
