NightWatch creates alarm which doesn't go away on android

[dkowatch]

With android 7.1.1 NightWatch causes the alarm status icon to be displayed continuously. The lock screen shows that the next alarm is set for either now or 1 minute in the future. Watching the lock screen shows that part way through the current minute the alarm will change from now to +1 minute.

When I force stop Nightwatch, the alarm status icon disappears and no set alarm is on the lock screen.

A friend was looking at it in some detail and noticed that you were using setAlarmClock in DataCollectionService.java and suspects that the cause of the behavior. I'm not sure why you chose setAlarmClock over something like setExact but maybe an easy fix?

I also noticed that the app is reporting as version 2.0.3 despite my having installed the latest 2.0.4_2 apk.

That alarm was created to prevent android 5.1+ devices form "Dozing" and skipping communication. It was discussed in issue #65. #65

A friend was looking at it in some detail and noted that the Alarm manager functions are a weird, since setAlarmClock() does something conceptually very different from all the other set() functions. Anyway, not sure if that's the cause, but maybe it will help. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Have you had a chance since closing out #65 to investigate other ways of keeping the app front and center when the phone is trying to Doze?
