Scheduling Tasks with Work a Manager

Introduction

Work managers provide APIs that let us schedule background tasks. They provide easy-to-use APIs and fine-grained controls on task execution, as well as robust scheduling APIs with retrial and chaining for complex tasks.

Let’s learn how to schedule tasks using work managers.

Schedule tasks with a delay

We can use work managers to schedule a task after a specified time duration. First, we define a class for our task by extending the Worker class. For example, let’s create a task to generate a random number less than 1100 and return success if the number is less than 750.
