optional alarm-duration setting #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

It would be convenient to have the ability to configure some alarms so that 
they alert/notify (i.e. ring and/or vibrate) for only n seconds, and after 
that cancel themselves (until the next scheduled alarm occurrence in the case 
of repeating alarms).

I agree.  I've been meaning to put in a feature that dismisses the alarm after 
some 
long amount of time.  I guess it also makes sense to make this 'long time' 
configurable.  Haven't had a chance to get around to it yet, though...  
Definitely 
near the top of the TODO list!

How do notification sounds work (like text-message received, or the sound that 
is made 
when you connect your phone to a computer)?  Maybe that could be an additional 
alarm 
option?

One other option which would work well in combination with such an alarm is:

"cause the alarm to re-occur every N minutes, a total of M times (unless 
dismissed by 
user)"

I added a feature feature to dismiss the alarm automatically after a few 
minutes.  It defaults to 10 minutes, but can be configured via the Application 
Setting menu item.  This feature is in the yet-to-be-released beta version.  
You can install the beta via this link: via this link: 
http://kraigsandroid.googlecode.com/files/Alarm%20Klock_1.5-beta.apk

I'll be releasing this version in about a week or so.  Please let me know if 
you come across any issues.

ok- but, I think it would be good if it were possible to do smaller 
time-increments as well -- for example, when you just want to hear the alarm 
for a few seconds.

Also, the other option (of specifying an alarm recurrence-interval / 
max-number-of-recurrences) -- maybe it should go into a separate issue -- I 
guess is not yet addressed, right?

Hmmm, this sounds more like the functionality of a timer than an alarm clock.  
There's an outstanding feature request to add timer semantics to the 
application as well, but I don't think I'll be able to do that in time for the 
next release.

There's a more general feature request
http://code.google.com/p/kraigsandroid/issues/detail?id=14
for adding countdown timer support.  I added a comment to that bug that the 
feature should include a configure auto-timeout feature.  Please follow along 
there if you are interested.
