Need hel with a reminder program

[TeamLTG]

Hello,

 

I have been given to do a project in which a user enters his date of birth and the program starts counting and when a specific date comes it reminds him for his vaccine. This will be an android program done in NetBeans using java.

All help is appreciated.

Thank you

Of course not! I just need to know the best way to solve it.

Just write some Java and you're good.

 

Otherwise, please specify your question. Solve what?

Well one thing is that I have no idea how to make it give notifications.

Laziness or ignorance or a combination of both

You think to far into the project I think. Start with setting dates and add a countdown. Then start thinking about a other feature.

Ok, i have set up the ui  using android studio and have searched a bit but can't seem to find anything for the timers. There are several, each for one vaccine. So one is 6 months, the other a year and so on. The starting date is specified using a date text box and then the timer should count from that date until it finishes, then shows a notification. If you could help me do the timers i would be very thankful.

Use the Android Developers manual and look for the correct terms. Don't expect anyone here to read manuals for you.

well you have a start date and the end date so take todays date time away from the end date time once you're after the start date and what you have left is how long left.

 

have a timer to tick every second and recalculate + then display.

fixed the xml.

 

Now i have chosen to use a date picker dialog which is nice but i have no idea how to set up (searched the manual, still can't configure it) and i need to make it so it saves the date to a file (which i also can't seem to do). If you can help me that would be great.
