Avoid Alerts

[loloviolo]

Hi,

I wrote an app that run some batches/checkings on my server.

I run this app at night so I prevented Iphone going Standby by adding :

PHP Code:

[[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES ]; 


Now the problem is that When I got Alert on top of my app (text received for example) The Alert stay displayed and Iphone go StandBy that cause my app to quit.

I tried the following bt not working

PHP Code:

    // Avoid Incomming Alerts
    [[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] unregisterForRemoteNotifications]; 


Thanks for your Help.

[[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] unregisterForRemoteNotifications]

this code is for stopping push notifications from WITHIN your app. There is no API that you can stop regular notifications (texts, calls) from happening in the SDK

According the apple's guidelines, your app should allow the iphone to continue its normal dealings (receiving text messages). Even if you found out how, Apple would reject an app that un-connected you from the cell network temporarily.

Thanks a lot for your answers and advices.

My aim is not to avoid any communication but only avoid Alert popup.

There is something strange to me on this case. My app is running a 1min timer and process some batches like this

PHP Code:

- (void) myProcess {    
    if (onoffSwitch.on) {
        // Avoid Iphone to go StandBy
        [[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES ];    
        // Process Sending
        [self sendProcess];
    }
} 


That means each minute the IdleTimer that put Iphone to StandBy is Disable.
This working perfectly fine but as soon as an Alert pops up - Even my app is still processing under the Alert Window - and even Idle Timer is still being disabled each minute - Iphone enter standby

Don't you think it is strange ?

Thanks for your help

Hi there,

I have been building an alarm clock ..but with a difference

I came across a similar problem when using:
[[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES ];

I read online that if you regularly reset the idleTimer by putting the following into a 30 second NSTimer, then it should work:

{
[[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] setIdleTimerDisabled: NO ];
[[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES ];
}

It does seem to have helped, but last night I received a Calendar Event Alert and this morning my iPhone had gone into Standby

Has anyone else come across this problem and knows of a fix?

Cheers
