want that) as i run the application :(
However i wanted it to be runeverydayat 18:48! how can i achieve
that?
Timertimer= newTimer();
Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
//Timerstarts yesterday (so that surely will run today when time
comes.
// date.setTimeInMillis(new Date().getTime() - 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
Date dateToBackup = null;
try {
dateToBackup = sdf.parse("18:32");
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(dateToBackup);
date.set(Calendar.HOUR, calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR));
date.set(Calendar.MINUTE, calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
date.set(Calendar.SECOND, calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND));
date.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

Why not just roll onedayforward ?



//Scheduleto runeveryday.
timer.schedule(
new TestTimerTask(),
date.getTime(),
1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
);
Thread.sleep(120000);
}

}

I didnt want to roll one day forward because i didnt want to have
special cases in my code like checking if the current time is later
than scheduled time and in that case roll one day forward, but now
that i see i have no choice, then i would need to check for that
special case and roll one day forward.

Thanks,

Tomer
