I have a JobService that I would like to start periodically. At the moment, for testing, I am using a trivial one:
public class SenderService extends JobService {
@Override
public boolean onStartJob(final JobParameters params) {
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
jobFinished(params, false);
}
}).start();
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters params) {
return false;
}
}
I schedule the job like this:
ComponentName serviceName = new ComponentName(this, SenderService.class);
JobInfo jobInfo = new JobInfo.Builder(JOB_ID, serviceName)
.setRequiredNetworkType(JobInfo.NETWORK_TYPE_ANY)
.setRequiresDeviceIdle(false)
.setRequiresCharging(false)
.setPersisted(true)
.setPeriodic(10000)
.build();
scheduler = (JobScheduler) getSystemService(Context.JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE);
int result = scheduler.schedule(jobInfo);
if (result == JobScheduler.RESULT_SUCCESS) {
Log.d(LOGTAG, "job created");
} else {
Log.d(LOGTAG, "job not created");
}
But the job never starts. If I remove the setPeriodic(), then it starts (but only once of course).
What is going on?
