Hello Paul, you're a great programmer, I have no idea I need help, I come from Germany and have created an address book. My question is, how do I create a reminder that will give a reminder every year when the birthday approaches. Example 2 days before. Could you send me an example. I'm 70 years old and unfortunately I'm not able to program. Thanks.

Hallo Paul,
du bist ein super Programmierer ich habe keine Ahnung
ich bräuchte Hilfe, ich komme aus Deutschland und habe ein Adressbuch erstellt. Meine Frage ist, wie erstelle ich eine Erinnerung das sie jedes Jahr bei einem Geburtstag eine Erinnerung gibt, wenn der Geburtstag naht. Beispiel 2 Tage vorher.
Könntest du mir ein Beispiel senden.
Bin schon 70 jahre und leider nicht in der lage zu Programieren. Danke.

This can be a pain to achieve as the native alarm function has been broke since Android 10
And there doesn't look to be any fixes coming soon. 

As an alternative solution I used URI call to the Android system calender to inject your calender event
And set an alarm

The two attachments are the single form to inject the event. The second is
My calendar app which calls the same uri to add/post the calender

Forgot to say there are hidden fields, so here's a version which shows you them in action
