Running a code when alarm rings

[Yasser85]

Hello
Thank you for sharing this awesome package.
I was making an app (Android app) where there is a need to run a code when the alarm rings without the needs of showing a full screen notification (because there is no need for that in my case, it did not work on all devices and also android is restricting it hardly).
Basically, I wanted to add a feature to the app that gives the user to make the device silent for a specific time then get out of silent mode automatically (for better sleeping time or when in meeting ... etc.) in addition to regular alarms.
I thought of doing this in the package's Kotlin code but I don't have the required knowledge to do that.
I looked at gdelataillade/alarm/alarm/AlarmService.kt and thought it can be done by making another AlarmService class but with some modifying the code using volumeService?.restorePreviousVolume(showSystemUI) function, but I lost a bit.
I want to keep both functionalities: regular alarms and running a piece of code (generally or at least for periodic silent mode).
What can I do in this case?
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Yasser85

To implement the feature where the system volume is set to silent when the alarm is scheduled, you should modify the AlarmPlugin class, specifically in the handleDelayedAlarm method. You’ll need to use the VolumeService.setVolume method to adjust the volume settings.

When setting your alarm, if you want to avoid a full-screen notification, set the androidFullScreenIntent parameter to false. Additionally, if you want the alarm to produce sound, ensure the volume is set to a value greater than 0.

Thank you.
I will try to do it as soon as I can then I will let you know the result.

Hi
Sorry I couldn't work on it until now.
About handleDelayedAlarm, isn't it executed when the alarm being set? and not when the alarm rings?
If so then it will not achieve what I mentioned, which is making the phone un-silent when the alarm rings after the specific time.
Actually a few weeks before I posted the main question, I planned to make exactly what you said, even wrote a note about all the changes I need to AlarmPlugin.kt, but got to this exact point and stopped there. That is why I tried to look at AlarmService.kt and as I said "lost a bit" 😅.

Thank you.

Ah, sorry I mixed that up in my head. You’re right—handleDelayedAlarm runs when the alarm is set, not when it goes off. If you want to run some code when the alarm starts ringing, that’s in AlarmService.

Just to make sure I got this straight: you want to drop the system volume to 0 when the alarm rings, and then bring it back up after a certain time, right?

No problem.
Thank you for your answers.
Yes, this will do.
