workmanager listener called immediately

Question

I need to have a callback upon Work completion from WorkManager (android.arch.work:work-runtime-ktx:1.0.0-alpha11). Yet the listener I\'m adding is called immediately after work

Answer 1

The problem is not observed if you get the result with liveData like this, instead of using ListenableFuture

WorkManager.getInstance()
.getWorkInfoByIdLiveData(cloudSyncOneTimeWork.id)
.observe(yourLifecycle, yourObserver)

If you don't want to tie it to a lifecycleowner you can call it like this :

WorkManager.getInstance()
.getWorkInfoByIdLiveData(cloudSyncOneTimeWork.id)
.observeForever(yourObserver)

If you do so you are responsible to unregister the listener when you want
