How to launch my app every day at some particular time?

Question

I want to create an app which basicly, should launch itself at some particular time, do some stuff in background and after that kill itself.

I need a hint in which direction to move and what to read. I'm sorry for kinda dump question, but I'm a total beginner with android. So any reply would be great.

Just curious, but what would be a good reason for an app to do something each day without the user knowing about it? Sounds a lot like spyware ;) — banzai86, Jul 26 '12 at 08:26

See [this related post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4452565/start-app-at-a-specific-time). You'll have to modify it some to make it happen every day, but the basics are there. — Andy Harris, Jul 26 '12 at 07:36

You should include some more details in your answer instead of just linking to other resources. – ThiefMaster Jul 26 '12 at 09:21
