jobservice

I am inspecting the latest samples in Android-L developer SDK. There is a sample class in android-L/ui/views/Clipping/ClippingBasic called TestJobService . It extends from JobService , which in turn extends from Service . I see that JobService is a class in android.jar, but I cannot find any information on it in the dev guides, nor in the Android sourcecode www.androidxref.com . Has anybody seen this class or know what it's purpose is? matiash It's a new type of service, that is invoked for tasks that are scheduled to be run depending on system conditions (e.g. idle, plugged in). Entry point

I have a JobService that I would like to start periodically. At the moment, for testing, I am using a trivial one: public class SenderService extends JobService { @Override public boolean onStartJob(final JobParameters params) { new Thread(new Runnable(){ public void run(){ try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } jobFinished(params, false); } }).start(); return true; } @Override public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters params) { return false; } } I schedule the job like this: ComponentName serviceName = new ComponentName(this, SenderService.class);

I am getting does not require android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE permission error while scheduling my JobService and I already have the bind permissions. Below is my code. JobScheduler jobScheduler = (JobScheduler) getSystemService(JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE); ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(MainActivity.this,MyJobService.class); JobInfo.Builder jobInfo = new JobInfo.Builder(101, componentName).setPeriodic(2000); jobScheduler.schedule(jobInfo.build()) <service android:name=".MyJobService" android:permission="android:permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE" android:exported="true"/> Error: java

I am using JobService in my project. It's working good. But sometimes service stopped. It is not restart again. So that I am trying to strat the JobService if not running. But I don't know how to check JobService is already running or not. Please let me any idea to how to check JobService is running or not. My Job service class: @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) public class JobService extends android.app.job.JobService { @Override public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters params) { if (NetworkHandler.getInstance().isNetworkAvailable()) { TaskHandler.getInstance()
