From AlarmManager to WorkManager

Speakers: Ralf Wondratschek
Sources: droidcon New York City 2018

Android has a variety of tools to deal with background work. Android provides different APIs with the AlarmManager and JobScheduler, but there are also many third party libraries like android-job and Firebase JobDispatcher. And more recently, Android architecture components introduced the WorkManager. How does this new component fit into the existing APIs and which gaps does it try to fill?

This talk gives an overview of the various job scheduler engines and how their capabilities have evolved alongside mobile ecosystems. The different APIs will be discussed and most importantly we will cover some best practices to avoid repeating yourself.
