Hi

Im trying to use shared prefs to have a notification appear on the weekday the user sets in the prefs. I have already set up the alarmmanger to trigger the notification service at a set interval.

Now Im trying to get the selected day preference to compare to the actual day witch is read from calendar like this.


Im getting error like this in DDMS:

String resource ID #0x3

Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong??

Thanks in advace

The first problem is that you're comparing two strings with "==". You want to use something more like
if (dag.equals(valgtdag))

Your error is caused by getString(idag); This function is supposed to be given a resource ID, not data from your program. It doesn't convert a numerical value to a string for the name of the day.

So basically Im using the getString wrong.

But how do I make the calendar week day value in to a string for comparing?

change

Code: Select all

dag = getString(idag);


to

Code: Select all

dag = Integer.toString(idag);


and use .equals() for comparing strings instead of '=='.

For an explanation of the latter, see here:

Edit
