Overview

A class that can perform work asynchronously in WorkManager. For most cases, we recommend using Worker, which offers a simple synchronous API that is executed on a pre-specified background thread.

ListenableWorker classes are instantiated at runtime by the WorkerFactory specified in the Configuration. The ListenableWorker.startWork() method is called on the main thread.

In case the work is preempted and later restarted for any reason, a new instance of ListenableWorker is created. This means that startWork is called exactly once per ListenableWorker instance. A new ListenableWorker is created if a unit of work needs to be rerun.

A ListenableWorker is given a maximum of ten minutes to finish its execution and return a ListenableWorker.Result. After this time has expired, the worker will be signalled to stop and its com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture will be cancelled.

Exercise caution when renaming or removing ListenableWorkers from your codebase.

Constructors

public ListenableWorker(Context appContext, WorkerParameters workerParams)

Parameters:

appContext: The application
workerParams: Parameters to setup the internal state of this worker

Methods

public final Context getApplicationContext()

Gets the application .

Returns:

The application

public final java.util.UUID getId()

Gets the ID of the WorkRequest that created this Worker.

Returns:

The ID of the creating WorkRequest

public final Data getInputData()

Gets the input data. Note that in the case that there are multiple prerequisites for this Worker, the input data has been run through an InputMerger.

Returns:

The input data for this work

See also: OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder.setInputMerger(Class)

public final java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getTags()

Gets a java.util.Set of tags associated with this Worker's WorkRequest.

Returns:

The java.util.Set of tags associated with this Worker's WorkRequest

See also: WorkRequest.Builder.addTag(String)

public final java.util.List<Uri> getTriggeredContentUris()

Gets the list of content s that caused this Worker to execute. See JobParameters#getTriggeredContentUris() for relevant JobScheduler code.

Returns:

The list of content s that caused this Worker to execute

See also: Constraints.Builder

public final java.util.List<java.lang.String> getTriggeredContentAuthorities()

Gets the list of content authorities that caused this Worker to execute. See JobParameters#getTriggeredContentAuthorities() for relevant JobScheduler code.

Returns:

The list of content authorities that caused this Worker to execute

public final Network getNetwork()

Gets the to use for this Worker. This method returns null if there is no network needed for this work request.

Returns:

The specified by the OS to be used with this Worker

public final int getRunAttemptCount()

Gets the current run attempt count for this work. Note that for periodic work, this value gets reset between periods.

Returns:

The current run attempt count for this work.

public abstract <any> startWork()

Override this method to start your actual background processing. This method is called on the main thread.

A ListenableWorker has a well defined execution window to to finish its execution and return a ListenableWorker.Result. After this time has expired, the worker will be signalled to stop and its com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture will be cancelled.

The future will also be cancelled if this worker is stopped for any reason (see ListenableWorker.onStopped()).

Returns:

A com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture with the ListenableWorker.Result of the computation. If you cancel this Future, WorkManager will treat this unit of work as failed.

public <any> setProgressAsync(Data data)

Updates ListenableWorker progress.

Parameters:

data: The progress Data

Returns:

A com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture which resolves after progress is persisted. Cancelling this future is a no-op.

public final <any> setForegroundAsync(ForegroundInfo foregroundInfo)

This specifies that the WorkRequest is long-running or otherwise important. In this case, WorkManager provides a signal to the OS that the process should be kept alive if possible while this work is executing.

Calls to setForegroundAsync *must* complete before a ListenableWorker signals completion by returning a ListenableWorker.Result.

Under the hood, WorkManager manages and runs a foreground service on your behalf to execute this WorkRequest, showing the notification provided in ForegroundInfo.

Calling setForegroundAsync will fail with an java.lang.IllegalStateException when the process is subject to foreground service restrictions. Consider using WorkRequest.Builder.setExpedited(OutOfQuotaPolicy) and ListenableWorker.getForegroundInfoAsync() instead.

Parameters:

foregroundInfo: The ForegroundInfo

Returns:

A com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture which resolves after the ListenableWorker transitions to running in the context of a foreground .

public <any> getForegroundInfoAsync()

Return an instance of ForegroundInfo if the WorkRequest is important to the user. In this case, WorkManager provides a signal to the OS that the process should be kept alive while this work is executing.

Prior to Android S, WorkManager manages and runs a foreground service on your behalf to execute the WorkRequest, showing the notification provided in the ForegroundInfo. To update this notification subsequently, the application can use .

Starting in Android S and above, WorkManager manages this WorkRequest using an immediate job.

Returns:

A com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture of ForegroundInfo instance if the WorkRequest is marked immediate. For more information look at WorkRequest.Builder.setExpedited(OutOfQuotaPolicy).

public final boolean isStopped()

Returns true if this Worker has been told to stop. This could be because of an explicit cancellation signal by the user, or because the system has decided to preempt the task. In these cases, the results of the work will be ignored by WorkManager and it is safe to stop the computation. WorkManager will retry the work at a later time if necessary.

Returns:

true if the work operation has been interrupted

public final int getStopReason()

Returns a reason why this worker has been stopped. Return values match values of JobParameters.STOP_REASON_* constants, e.g. or WorkInfo

If a worker hasn't been stopped, WorkInfo is returned.

public final void stop(int reason)

public void onStopped()

This method is invoked when this Worker has been told to stop. At this point, the com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture returned by the instance of ListenableWorker.startWork() is also cancelled. This could happen due to an explicit cancellation signal by the user, or because the system has decided to preempt the task. In these cases, the results of the work will be ignored by WorkManager. All processing in this method should be lightweight - there are no contractual guarantees about which thread will invoke this call, so this should not be a long-running or blocking operation.

public final boolean isUsed()

Returns:

true if this worker has already been marked as used

See also: ListenableWorker.setUsed()

public final void setUsed()

Marks this worker as used to make sure we enforce the policy that workers can only be used once and that WorkerFactories return a new instance each time.

See also: ListenableWorker.isUsed()

public java.util.concurrent.Executor getBackgroundExecutor()

public TaskExecutor getTaskExecutor()

public WorkerFactory getWorkerFactory()
