Work Manager in Android


What is a Work Manager?

Work Manager is basically a task scheduler and a part of the Android Jetpack component which makes it easy to schedule deferrable and asynchronous tasks that are expected to run even if the app exits or device reboot i.e. even if your app kill or restarts due to any issue or reason Work Manager makes sure the scheduled task executes again.

WorkManager Features

  1. It is fully compatible with all android versions so no need to write an if-else for different OS versions.

  2. Using WorkManager we can check the status of the given task or work.

  3. Tasks can be scheduled in chained, for eg. when one task is done it can start another task automatically.

  4. it provides guaranteed execution with the constraints.

Advantages of WorkManager

  1. It provides guarantees of the task execution. In other terms, You can schedule a task depending on the condition when it should be run or implemented. So WorkManager will take care of all the scenarios and give the guarantee that the task will be executed even when the device is rebooted or else if the user exited the app without executing the task.

  2. It provides backward compatibility so you don’t need to figure out the device capabilities or choose an appropriate API. You have to just assign the task to the WorkManager. It will choose the best option as per your device for the execution of the task.

  3. WorkManager supports task queries. You can not only schedule the task but if you have quite some work or the tasks, you can check the status or state of the particular task, whether it is running or it is quit or task status is a success or failure. so you can capture the status of tasks from the task queue.

  4. Work manager supports task chaining, which means you can enqueue one by one task in work manager.

 So, Let's start.
