Working with WorkManager (Android Dev Summit '18)

This session talks about WorkManager and its API. This talk covers how WorkManager can be used to solve many interesting use cases. We also go over many of the new APIs introduced since alpha, including support for non-blocking Workers and how WorkManager can coexist in a world with coroutines and RxJava.

My question is suppose I have set some constraints for WorkManager and i opened the app and all the constraints are met, will work manager run. Is there a possibility of work manager running when app is in the foreground or it runs only when app is in closed and constraints are met?

[@haykgalstyan9814]

It runs anyway

[@gofudgeyourselves9024]

I have never used any kind of Scheduler in my app. I am planning to include Work Manager soon. I know work manager is a best choice for local database syncing with server. So my question is can I use Retrofit in the doWork method, get the latest response from server and save it to local database.Is this a valid case?

[@jishindev]

Yes. You can have chained workers to achieve that behaviour.

[@haykgalstyan9814]

yes

[@haykgalstyan9814]

@@jishindev you don't have to. Can do in a single worker also.
