android-workmanager

First of all, I'm a total Android noob. Have looked for solutions for some time now, but can't find any helpful hints in the right direction so far. This might be generally caused by the nature of the issue itself, being quite niche. The working code below is based on a code lab at https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/realtime-asset-tracking . I was wondering though, since it was mentioned within several resources as the preferred way now, how you'd do something like that based on Android's Work Manager instead of a Service with an ongoing notification? public class TrackerService

I need to call one API daily in the background even if the app is closed. I have seen about WorkManager API. For my scenario, I tried PeriodicWorkRequest but unfortunately, it's not working as my expected result. What I did is I used this code in the Application class PeriodicWorkRequest.Builder myWorkBuilder = new PeriodicWorkRequest.Builder(MyWorker.class, 24, TimeUnit.HOURS); PeriodicWorkRequest myWork = myWorkBuilder.build(); WorkManager.getInstance().enqueue(myWork); But it's running repeatedly for 11 times when the app is open for the first time after that, it's not running after 24 hrs.

I am trying to use WorkManager 1.0.0-alpha09.

I don't get this error but i need public constructor public Worker (Context context, WorkerParameters workerParams) In my case, I had to add the following configurations to app's module build.gradle : configurations { all*.exclude group: 'com
