Thanks Nikhil for the reply. What I am doing is trying to get a list of
alarms in the system app. This is the code that I am using wrapped in a
function.
var request = navigator.mozAlarms.getAll();
request.onsuccess = function () {
console.log('operation successful:' + this.result.length + 'alarms pending');
this.result.forEach(function (alarm) {
console.log(alarm.id + ' : ' + alarm.date.toString() + ' : ' +
alarm.respectTimezone);
});}
request.onerror = function () {
console.log('operation failed: ' + this.error);}
I will try to make it work with IAC. I never knew about it. Although I
would still love to see an example of how the above code could be modified
to get the list of alarms.
Thanks
