WorkManager Codelab

This repository contains the code for the WorkManager Codelab.

Introduction

At I/O 2018, Google announced Android Jetpack, a collection of libraries, tools, and architectural guidance to accelerate and simplify the development of great Android apps. One of those libraries is the WorkManager library. The WorkManager library provides a unified API for deferrable one-off or recurring background tasks that need guaranteed execution. You can learn more by reading the WorkManager Guide, the WorkManager Reference or doing the WorkManager Codelab.

Pre-requisites

  • Familiarity with how to open, build, and run apps with Android Studio.

  • Make sure Android Studio is updated, as well as your SDK and Gradle. Otherwise, you may have to wait for a while until all the updates are done.

  • A device or emulator that runs API level 21+

You need to be solidly familiar with the Kotlin programming language, object-oriented design concepts, and Android Development Fundamentals.

In particular:

Getting Started

  1. Install Android Studio, if you don't already have it.
  2. Download the sample.
  3. Import the sample into Android Studio.
  4. Build and run the sample.

Notes:

  • The application code contains a battery not low constraint. If the device/emulator has a low battery, the application will appear to hang until this constraint is met.

  • The app requires notifications to be enabled. To enable notifications, navigate to the Android Settings menu > Apps > Blur-O-Matic > Notifications > Enable "All Blur-O-Matic notifications".
