means you want to start workmanager without launching acitvity?

[Krunal Patel]

Hi Krunal. Thanks for helping me out. Actually I have to do background work without ui. I thought of using workmanager. I just found one solution like created transparent activity and run work manager and on boot complete re-start trigger broadcast. To start work manager again. Is this right approach. Thanks for your time Regards Kiran S N

Hello Kiran

you are using periodic worker like this:-

mPeriodicWorkRequest = new PeriodicWorkRequest.Builder(MyPeriodicWork.class,
18, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.addTag("periodicWorkRequest")
.build();

here every 18 MINUTES your backgound work will start.

do you want to run backgound task periodic?

Based on event I have to send data to cloud by using workmanager. Event may continuous like battery voltage or like network disconnect connection like this

so the work manager should also run even if the battery is low and run when the device gets internet connection.

i think there will be no problem just to run work manager using transparent activity.

But if you are using PeriodicWorkRequest than you don't have to handle boot complete or restart or shutdown device it is automatically handle by WorkManager.When device get's reboot automatically WorkManager schedule the your works.

Ok I will take a look it and follow the same steps. Thank you for your time
