Q: 

android programming tutorial for an alarm needed

Hi.

I am starting an app for android. I was wondering if anyone had any tutorials to get me going. something similar to an alarm that goes off on 2 different occasions on specific dates, these dates and times should be obtained from a csv file or something similar so that i can control when and at what time the alarm goes off. any help would be appreciated.

thank you

A: 

Have you looked at the API Demos project? It has samples of how to use many of the different API calls, including alarms: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/index.html

No, not really. Although a simple google search brought this up: http://www.androidcompetencycenter.com/2009/02/android-basics-alarm-service/ Although I can't vouch for it, at first glance it looked okay to me.
