I have a WorkManager that I use to sync my data. I'm sending both a PeriodicWorkRequest and a OneTimeWorkRequest to Worker. But when I send OneTimeWorkRequest, the status of SystemJobService appears to be stopped. This way work manager works fine but I don't know if it's correct to show as stopped.

Background Task Inspector looks like this

CodePudding user response：

OneTimeWorkRequest and PeriodicWorkRequest have different state logic.

As you saw, once a OneTimeWorkRequest is completed with a Success, Failure or Cancellation. It is marked as stopped.

WorkManager's documentation covers this topic.

For PeriodicWorkRequest, the only way to stop it, is a Cancellation. A Success or Failuire, simply re-enqueue the WorkRequest.
