Android AlarmClock ACTION_SET_ALARM intent produces exception

up vote2down votefavorite 1

The given example produces an Exception (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent) Intent i = new Intent(AlarmClock.ACTION_SET_ALARM); i.putExtra(AlarmClock.EXTRA_MESSAGE, "New Alarm"); i.putExtra(AlarmClock.EXTRA_HOUR, hours); i.putExtra(AlarmClock.EXTRA_MINUTES, mins); startActivity(i); on my SGS2 Android Version 2.3.3. Do you have any ideas, what can be going wrong? An another intent request (e.g. selecting a contact from the address book) works fine. Thank you, Artjom android alarm share|improve this question asked Sep 5 '11 at 8:43 Artjom 399413

Either catch the exception and let the user know, or use PackageManager and queryIntentActivities() to see if anything will respond to your Intent in advance of calling startActivity(). share|improve this answer answered Sep 5 '11 at 11:17 CommonsWare 288k14449530
	Is this is a vendor specific behavior? The same activities can also work with some devices and do not with other? – Artjom Sep 5 '11 at 13:24

You need to set permission in manifest file also. <uses-permission android:name="com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM"/>

It appears that there is no documented Intent for launching the alarm clock in the Android SDK. Having said that, here are a few resources you can try that should get you around that: Intent to launch the clock application on android Android AlarmClock ACTION_SET_ALARM intent produces exception How does one launch android version dependent alarm clock? share|improve this answer
