Version Information
- Visual Studio version: 8.10.4 (build 11)
- Xamarin.Android version: 11.3.0.4 (Visual Studio Community)
- Using AndroidX or Support Libraries: Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime (2.5.0.2)
Describe your Issue:
Im trying to setup a WorkManager that executes a task every 15 minutes. For now I'm doing this test adding an entry in a firebase database.
I'm using the nuget package Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime (2.5.0.2)
This works fine if the app is in foreground or background, but if I kill the app it stops working.
I'm doing this test with a Nokia 8 Sirocco (api 28) and with a Samsung Galaxy A21S (api 30) that both mount Android Stock.
This is how I launch the work:
private void StartParallelWorkManager(int minutes)
{
PeriodicWorkRequest taskLauncher = PeriodicWorkRequest.Builder.From<UniquePeriodicWorker>(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(minutes)).Build();
WorkManager.GetInstance(Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.AppContext).EnqueueUniquePeriodicWork("TestTask", ExistingPeriodicWorkPolicy.Keep, taskLauncher);
}
and this is my Worker class:
public class UniquePeriodicWorker : Worker
{
public UniquePeriodicWorker(Context context, WorkerParameters workerParameters) : base(context, workerParameters)
{
}
public override Result DoWork()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("{0} DO WORK", DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM HH:mm:ss"));
try
{
_ = CrossCloudFirestore.Current
.Instance
.Collection("WorkManagerRuns")
.AddAsync<DateTime>(DateTime.Now);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex);
}
return Result.InvokeSuccess();
}
}
Doing the same test in android studio (using Kotlin) works like a charm.
Am I missing something in Xamarin side or Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime is not capable to achieve the same behavior of the native equivalent??
