Alarm Multiplier ? #4

Closed cmlx closed 10 years ago

cmlx commented 10 years ago

I wonder what those 1, 2, ... *100 meaning.

The logic is:

                            long now = now((Integer)param.args[0]);
                            long at = (Long)param.args[1];
                            long interval = (Long)param.args[2];
                            at = (at - now) * multiplier + now; 
                            interval = interval * multiplier;
//                          XposedBridge.log("Delay " + lpparam.packageName + " to setRepeatingAlarm(" + param.args[0] + ", " + at + ", " + interval + ", " + param.args[3] + ")");
                            param.args[1] = at;
                            param.args[2] = interval;

A brief description here: The module tries to delay the alarm to reduce the occurrence of the alarm. Ex: if the original interval is 6000 (ie 6 seconds) and the multiplier is 10, the new interval is 60000 (ie 60 seconds). So that the occurrence will be from 10 times/minute to 1 times/minute.

Some apps may fail to pool its server if the interval is too long, try it at your own risk.

Thank you, this feature is very useful for me. But I think it would be better to describe this feature as "1/n occurrence of alarm" to decrease frequency of AlarmManager acquire. The *n multiplier makes me confused.
