Hi Friends,
Is it by any chance possible to get a list of alarms saved in the alarm application of android ? I am making an application which just needs to show the alarms set in the Alarm application.
Thanx

A:
There is a good explanation on this post regarding this. There are no guarantees that the AlarmClock app will be on every device your app is installed on. For example, many of the HTC phones replace it with HTC's own "World Clock" app.
However, assuming the stock AlarmClock app is present, you should be able to get a cursor from its content provider. See this project as an example.

The content provider for the stock AlarmClock app is not part of the Android SDK. The provider may change without warning in future versions of Android. The identity of the stock AlarmClock app itself might change in future versions of Android.

The interfaces exposed by the AlarmClock app may change, as stated by @CommonsWare, but this is no different from any other Android app that exposes a set of intents or content providers. You will need to handle the exceptions gracefully, but careful design (and lots of testing) should provide a fairly stable implementation.
