AlarmManager not working in several devices

Question

My app uses AlarmManager and it has been working since 4 years ago. But I noticed it started failing in some devices.

I\'m pretty sure code is right (I\'m using Wak

Answer 1

Use AlarmManager for <5.0 devices, and JobScheduler for 5.0+ devices. I can't say for sure that JobScheduler will be unaffected by manufacturer shenanigans, but it would seem much less likely to me, given that Android is trying to move people away from AlarmManager and onto JobScheduler.

EDIT: Google has come out with a first-party solution to this problem called WorkManager. It abstracts multiple scheduling frameworks and uses the most appropriate one for the device.
