Methods

public abstract <any> enqueue(WorkRequest request)

Enqueues one item for background processing.

Parameters:

Parameters:

requests: One or more WorkRequest to enqueue

Returns:

A that can be used to determine when the enqueue has completed

public final <any> enqueueUniqueWork(java.lang.String uniqueWorkName, ExistingWorkPolicy existingWorkPolicy, OneTimeWorkRequest work)

This method allows you to enqueue work requests to a uniquely-named RemoteWorkContinuation, where only one continuation of a particular name can be active at a time. For example, you may only want one sync operation to be active. If there is one pending, you can choose to let it run or replace it with your new work.

The uniqueWorkName uniquely identifies this RemoteWorkContinuation.

Parameters:

uniqueWorkName: A unique name which for this operation
existingWorkPolicy: An ExistingWorkPolicy; see below for more information
work: The OneTimeWorkRequests to enqueue. REPLACE ensures that if there is pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName, it will be cancelled and the new work will run. KEEP will run the new OneTimeWorkRequests only if there is no pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName. APPEND will append the OneTimeWorkRequests as leaf nodes labelled with uniqueWorkName.

Returns:

A that can be used to determine when the enqueue has completed

public abstract <any> enqueueUniqueWork(java.lang.String uniqueWorkName, ExistingWorkPolicy existingWorkPolicy, java.util.List<OneTimeWorkRequest> work)

This method allows you to enqueue work requests to a uniquely-named RemoteWorkContinuation, where only one continuation of a particular name can be active at a time. For example, you may only want one sync operation to be active. If there is one pending, you can choose to let it run or replace it with your new work.

The uniqueWorkName uniquely identifies this RemoteWorkContinuation.

Parameters:

uniqueWorkName: A unique name which for this operation
existingWorkPolicy: An ExistingWorkPolicy
work: OneTimeWorkRequests to enqueue. REPLACE ensures that if there is pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName, it will be cancelled and the new work will run. KEEP will run the new OneTimeWorkRequests only if there is no pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName. APPEND will append the OneTimeWorkRequests as leaf nodes labelled with uniqueWorkName.

Returns:

A that can be used to determine when the enqueue has completed

public abstract <any> enqueueUniquePeriodicWork(java.lang.String uniqueWorkName, ExistingPeriodicWorkPolicy existingPeriodicWorkPolicy, PeriodicWorkRequest periodicWork)

This method allows you to enqueue a uniquely-named PeriodicWorkRequest, where only one PeriodicWorkRequest of a particular name can be active at a time. For example, you may only want one sync operation to be active. If there is one pending, you can choose to let it run or replace it with your new work.

The uniqueWorkName uniquely identifies this PeriodicWorkRequest.

Parameters:

uniqueWorkName: A unique name which for this operation
existingPeriodicWorkPolicy: An ExistingPeriodicWorkPolicy
periodicWork: A PeriodicWorkRequest to enqueue. REPLACE ensures that if there is pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName, it will be cancelled and the new work will run. KEEP will run the new PeriodicWorkRequest only if there is no pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName.

Returns:

An that can be used to determine when the enqueue has completed

public final RemoteWorkContinuation beginWith(OneTimeWorkRequest work)

Begins a chain with one or more OneTimeWorkRequests, which can be enqueued together in the future using RemoteWorkContinuation.enqueue().

If any work in the chain fails or is cancelled, all of its dependent work inherits that state and will never run.

Parameters:

work: One or more OneTimeWorkRequest to start a chain of work

Returns:

A RemoteWorkContinuation that allows for further chaining of dependent OneTimeWorkRequest

public abstract RemoteWorkContinuation beginWith(java.util.List<OneTimeWorkRequest> work)

Begins a chain with one or more OneTimeWorkRequests, which can be enqueued together in the future using RemoteWorkContinuation.enqueue().

If any work in the chain fails or is cancelled, all of its dependent work inherits that state and will never run.

Parameters:

work: One or more OneTimeWorkRequest to start a chain of work

Returns:

A RemoteWorkContinuation that allows for further chaining of dependent OneTimeWorkRequest

public final RemoteWorkContinuation beginUniqueWork(java.lang.String uniqueWorkName, ExistingWorkPolicy existingWorkPolicy, OneTimeWorkRequest work)

This method allows you to begin unique chains of work for situations where you only want one chain with a given name to be active at a time. For example, you may only want one sync operation to be active. If there is one pending, you can choose to let it run or replace it with your new work.

The uniqueWorkName uniquely identifies this set of work.

If this method determines that new work should be enqueued and run, all records of previous work with uniqueWorkName will be pruned. If this method determines that new work should NOT be run, then the entire chain will be considered a no-op.

If any work in the chain fails or is cancelled, all of its dependent work inherits that state and will never run. This is particularly important if you are using APPEND as your ExistingWorkPolicy.

Parameters:

uniqueWorkName: A unique name which for this chain of work
existingWorkPolicy: An ExistingWorkPolicy
work: The OneTimeWorkRequest to enqueue. REPLACE ensures that if there is pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName, it will be cancelled and the new work will run. KEEP will run the new sequence of work only if there is no pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName. APPEND will create a new sequence of work if there is no existing work with uniqueWorkName; otherwise, work will be added as a child of all leaf nodes labelled with uniqueWorkName.

Returns:

A RemoteWorkContinuation that allows further chaining

public abstract RemoteWorkContinuation beginUniqueWork(java.lang.String uniqueWorkName, ExistingWorkPolicy existingWorkPolicy, java.util.List<OneTimeWorkRequest> work)

This method allows you to begin unique chains of work for situations where you only want one chain with a given name to be active at a time. For example, you may only want one sync operation to be active. If there is one pending, you can choose to let it run or replace it with your new work.

The uniqueWorkName uniquely identifies this set of work.

If this method determines that new work should be enqueued and run, all records of previous work with uniqueWorkName will be pruned. If this method determines that new work should NOT be run, then the entire chain will be considered a no-op.

If any work in the chain fails or is cancelled, all of its dependent work inherits that state and will never run. This is particularly important if you are using APPEND as your ExistingWorkPolicy.

Parameters:

uniqueWorkName: A unique name which for this chain of work
existingWorkPolicy: An ExistingWorkPolicy; see below for more information
work: One or more OneTimeWorkRequest to enqueue. REPLACE ensures that if there is pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName, it will be cancelled and the new work will run. KEEP will run the new sequence of work only if there is no pending work labelled with uniqueWorkName. APPEND will create a new sequence of work if there is no existing work with uniqueWorkName; otherwise, work will be added as a child of all leaf nodes labelled with uniqueWorkName.

Returns:

A that can be used to determine when the enqueue has completed

public abstract <any> cancelWorkById(java.util.UUID id)

Parameters:

uniqueWorkName: The unique name used to identify the chain of work

Returns:

A that can be used to determine when the cancelUniqueWork has completed

public abstract <any> cancelAllWork()

Upon cancellation, ListenableWorker.onStopped() will be invoked for any affected workers.

Returns:

A that can be used to determine when the cancelAllWork has completed

public abstract <any> getWorkInfos(WorkQuery workQuery)
