I don’t know what a “wallpaper changer” is (nor am I interested).

For Android, this plug-in implements the WorkManager API, which can execute your provided callback function about every 15 minutes.

what you do in your callback is your business. The only thing I’m interested is seeing your callback execute (eg a console.log showing up in your logs).

see the readme to learn how to simulate events.

For terminated state, see api docs in readme enableHeadless and learn how to implement a “HeadlessTask”

I went through several docs... including the https://reactnative.dev/docs/headless-js-android... could not follow as it is in Java. "Wallpaper changer" : this wallpaper app will change the wallpaper of the phone daily (every 24 hours) automatically, even if the app is in foreground, background and terminated state.

Stop concentrating on “wallpaper change” and just focus on the simple task of logging a simple message in your callback.

you don’t need to “read Java”. All the api docs are linked in the readme

Ok, so you mean to say that if the stopOnTerminate: true and enableHeadless: true is set then no need of adding any Java code?

[christocracy]

Why don’t you try it and see?

wow! that's awesome!!! It works. Able to simulate setting the wallpaper in all states (foreground, background and terminated) of the device. thanks a ton @christocracy 🎉
