如何在Android中使用Job Scheduler安排前台服务

Question

My app shows the user a way to schedule some work(background heavy work). and I want to do it in foreground service at midnight(or some other time that chooses by the user).

Answer 1

I think the Android Jetpack component called WorkManager is for you :

Answer 2

I recomend using work manager instead. Its more suited for such task, and is more modern aproach to background processing which with new android devices become more limited (by doze mode, etc.).

If you need to schedule your work at specified time then you schould rather choose AlarmManager - see this so: Schedule a work on a specific time with WorkManager
