I want to repeat UILocalNotification particular day alternatively. I mean if it's fire on sunday 7:00 am then second notification should be fire on next to next sunday 7:00 am.
Is this possible?
Can any one help me.
Thanks!
You can make a counter of hours's and save it in NSUserDefaults
if (counterOfHours % 336 == 0) then push notification, remember to set counterOfHours to 0 :)

Here are my problems :
Schedule local notifications between two dates every specific day of the week . example : between march 1 and march 20 every sunday
I have more than 64 local notifications to set which is the limit .
For the first problem i know there is repeatIntervals which i can set to fire notification every Sunday but how can i set them between two dates ? Do i need to calculate manually and find all the Sundays between March 1 and 20 and then set it or there is something better ?
Use the NSCalendar to get the specific dates, put in an array, and pass to the scheduleLocalNotification.
In this topic you can have a sample code of how to do it.
I have two UIDatePickers. startDatePicker is to choose a start date and endDatePicker is to choose an end date. It should be something like
START: 2015/06/25 11:00
END: 2015/07/06 13:00
->Time Interval: 12 days 2 hours = 1044000 seconds
And the 1044000 seconds is what I want to get here. Just I am not sure how.
I am guessing maybe I can use
startDatePicker.date.timeIntervalSinceDate(endDatePicker.date)
to get the value? If so, what is the necessary settings for the two UIDatePickers?
Or maybe there are other ways to do that? Thanks in advance.
I need to fire a local notification which is decided by the end user.
I provide 8/9 options to the user for selecting at least one of below time duration.
20 minutes , 25 minutes till 60 minutes.
Again user provides the starting time.
Consider the time duration is morning 6.28 to night 11.37
The expected tasks performed by the local notification is
show a local notification after every 20 minutes between the duration of 6.28 am to 11.37 pm.
first notification will come at 6.48 am. And till its 11.37 . No notification should come after 11.37.
Is there any way ?
UILocalNotification has a repeatInterval property which you'd normally use to create recurring notifications. Unfortunately, it does not offer the flexibility you need - you can use repeat intervals of 1 minute, 1 hour, but nothing in between. And there's also no 'end date' option.
The only other option is to create multiple notifications, each firing only once. Keep in mind that there is a maximum of 64 notifications per app. With a minimum interval of 20 minutes, this covers 21 hours and 20 minutes of notifications.
UILocalNotification has repeatInterval property.
UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotif.repeatInterval = NSMinuteCalendarUnit;
Try above code.
I want to get the current date, even if the time has passed midnight. Imagine it's friday night the 6th of June 2014 - we check the date Saturday at 2 am, but we still want this to count as being friday. How would I go about this?
Let's just say we cut it at 9am the next day. I.e. we will assume previous date until the time has passed 9 am. Yes, this is software used at a nightclub, as you can imagine.
I guess this would involve something like subtracting 1 day from the current date if the hour is less than 10?
You can use interval to specific date like
[[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:interval];
Assuming the cutoff is 9am, all you need to do is create an NSDate that's 9 hours earlier than the actual time.
NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:-(9 * 3600)];
That way every day begins and ends at 9am.
I want to try this myself, but it would take a month before I can sure it work. Any one have ever try this ?
NSDate *fireDate = // Date I want to repeat, in this case 31 may
localNotification.fireDate = fireDate;
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSMonthCalendarUnit;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
I expected it to alert on the last day of every month. Is this a way to go ? And if I schedule it on 30-day month and the next day is 31-day month like April -> May What should I do, because I can only set it to 30 April (also February 28 and 29 day problem)
I got an answer after playing with UILocalNotification for a while, If you want to make it repeat every last day every months just set it to January 31 with repeatInterval NSMonthCalendarUnit and it will repeat every last day of every months
