Description

Feature description

I very much need and want the ability to list/search/show/set/delete/edit alarms on the default clock app.

My work schedule varies greatly each day so I want to automate my alarm clock with greater control. While I know some other ways to accomplish this, I prefer Termux as much as possible and in my case Termux would also be the best tool for the job.

Automate, Tasker and the like does not seem to support a lot of what you can get out of the AlarmClock provider, only setting a new alarm. Additional plugins for these with calendar support and whatnot are quite hackish, depending on your needs.

This requires the permission com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM.

Reference implementation

I'm no android developer, but the Android API seem to support this

Java example taken from here:

  Intent openClockIntent = new Intent(AlarmClock.ACTION_SET_ALARM);
  openClockIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
  openClockIntent.putExtra(AlarmClock.EXTRA_HOUR, 10);
  context.startActivity(openClockIntent);

Begin with the Android AlarmClock provider reference and the SET_ALARM permission linked in the issue. Define the command surface and completion criteria for listing, searching, showing, setting, deleting, and editing alarms, then verify the behavior against the provider API and the linked Java example.
