Another approach: Create 5 alarms (one for each day) and set repeating time to WEEK. – Pteridophyte

                    } else if (chk_sat.isChecked()) {
                        forday(7);
                    } else if (chk_sunday.isChecked()) {

public void forday(int week) {

        calSet.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, week);
        calSet.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
        calSet.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minuts);
        calSet.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
        calSet.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
                calSet.getTimeInMillis(), 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000, pendingIntent);

it won't work if user want to set Alarm for more than one day. – Kylie

its not complete but demo for @user1662296 some changing is depend of user. – Fete

i agree with @Kylie this wont work if the user sets alarm for multiple day of week this will only work on singlechoiceitems – Collative

remove "if{}else if{}.."just use "if{} if{}..." then it should set alarm for multiple days....:) – Deviltry

Why do we set this to repeat every hour? – Burkle

You are repeating it every hour. For every week formula would be 24 * 7 * 60 * 60 * 1000 – Rett

why don't you add all of your check boxes to an arrayOf checkboxes and then using a for loop check for the checked ones and save their index to an other array and after that use an other for loop to set alarms for every number in that array – Spile

Answer 2

From your question i believe you want to perform certain activity on daily basis except Saturday, Sunday. So your code is right but you declare it wrong way, make changes as follows and try

declare alarm in OnCreate() method

alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calSet.getTimeInMillis(), 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000,  pendingIntent);

Now your alarm is set to repeat daily, and you need to perform action daily except Sat,Sunday

  if (chkMonday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkTuesday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkWednesday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkThrusday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkFriday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkSaturday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkSunday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  private void activityToPerform()
  {
    // your action code
  }

You are repeating it every hour. For every week formula would be 24 * 7 * 60 * 60 * 1000 – Rett

Answer 3

One way is when the alarm notify is receive in broadcast then check the next day if its saturday then set the alarm for monday otherwise just create with adding 1 day.

You need to set new alarm every time for this.
