Overview

A utility library for Android to schedule one-time or periodic jobs while your app is running. Currently, Android OS supports 3 types of scheduling APIs: Handler, AlarmManager and JobScheduler. The choice of one suitable API, the inflexibility of switching between them and the amount of boilerplate code required for setting up makes it difficult to use these APIs. Want to know more on this and wondering why you should prefer using this library over doing it yourself. Check out the blog post.

android-job is a similar scheduling library, which unifies AlarmManager, GcmNetworkManager & JobScheduler APIs. But when it comes to implementing network dependent jobs for an interval less than 30sec or implementing jobs while the device is in PowerSaver Mode, it is not able to schedule such jobs as required. This is where smart-scheduler library gives an advantage over android-job.

Download

Download the latest version or grab via Gradle:

The library is available on mavenCentral() and jcenter(). In your module's build.gradle, add the following code snippet and run the gradle-sync.

dependencies {

  ...
  compile 'io.hypertrack:smart-scheduler:0.0.11'
  ... 
}
 

If you didn't turn off the manifest merger from the Gradle build tools, then no further step is required to setup the library. Otherwise you manually need to add the permissions and services like in this AndroidManifest.

Usage

  • The class SmartScheduler serves as the entry point. You need to create a Job object with the corresponding job parameters using the Job.Builder class.

  • The Job.Builder class has many extra options, e.g. you can specify a required network connection, required charging state, make the job periodic or run the job at an exact time.

 SmartScheduler.JobScheduledCallback callback = new SmartScheduler.JobScheduledCallback() {

@Override

public void onJobScheduled(Context context, Job job) {

 // Handle onJobScheduled here

}

  
}
;

Job.Builder builder = new Job.Builder(JOB_ID, callback, jobType, JOB_PERIODIC_TASK_TAG)

 .setRequiredNetworkType(networkType)

 .setRequiresCharging(requiresCharging)

 .setIntervalMillis(intervalInMillis);

if (isPeriodic) {

builder.setPeriodic(intervalInMillis);

  
}

Job job = builder.build();
 
  • Each job has a unique ID. This ID helps to identify the job later to update requirements or to cancel the job. In case this unique ID is not specified in the Job object, one will be auto-generated using Job.generateJobID() method.

  • Once a Job object has been created with the relevant parameters, you can add this job using SmartScheduler class.

 SmartScheduler jobScheduler = SmartScheduler.getInstance(getApplicationContext());

  boolean result = jobScheduler.addJob(job);

if (result) {

// Job successfully added here
  
}
 
  • A Non-Periodic Job will be removed automatically once it has been scheduled successfully. For Periodic Jobs, call SmartScheduler.removeJob(jobID) method to remove the job.
 SmartScheduler jobScheduler = SmartScheduler.getInstance(getApplicationContext());

  boolean result = jobScheduler.removeJob(JOB_ID);

if (result) {

// Job successfully removed here
  
}
 

Utility Methods

  • To check if a job (periodic or non-periodic) is currently scheduled for a given jobID, call SmartScheduler.contains(jobID) method as depicted below. This method returns true in case a Job is currently scheduled for the given jobID, false otherwise.

 SmartScheduler jobScheduler = SmartScheduler.getInstance(getApplicationContext());

  boolean result = jobScheduler.contains(JOB_ID);

 if (result) {

// Job currently scheduled
  
}

  
  • To get a scheduled Job for a given jobID, call SmartScheduler.get(jobID) method as depicted below. This method returns a Job object for the given jobID in case one is currently scheduled, null otherwise.

 SmartScheduler jobScheduler = SmartScheduler.getInstance(getApplicationContext());

  Job scheduledJob = jobScheduler.get(JOB_ID);

 if (scheduledJob != null) {

// Valid job has been scheduled for given jobID
  
}
