Background task inquiry

[astroncc]

There is a conversion process when downloading MP3s. In the case of a video over an hour, the conversion takes too long. And when I move the app to home, it doesn't seem to work in the background. Is it possible to check?

Maybe we should use WorkManager.

Edit: Checkout dvd, a video downloader app based on this library it is using WorkManager.

Is it possible to convert even in the background to a work manager or foreground service?

yes, with workmanager you can download a video and convert it to mp3 even if the video is more than 3 hours the download will continue in the background.

I called work manager as below I added the request option in doWork and executed it. Is it correct to do this?

OneTimeWorkRequest mathWork = new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(DownloadWorker.class).build(); WorkManager.getInstance(context).enqueue(mathWork);

For example

        Constraints.Builder builder = new Constraints.Builder().setRequiredNetworkType(NetworkType.CONNECTED);
 
        // Passing params
        Data.Builder data = new Data.Builder();
        data.putString("tag", tag);
        data.putString("url", url);
        data.putString("title", title);
        data.putString("format", format);
 
        OneTimeWorkRequest syncWorkRequest = new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(DownloadWorker.class)
                .addTag(tag)
                .setInputData(data.build())
                .setConstraints(builder.build())
                .build();
 
        WorkManager.getInstance(context).enqueueUniqueWork(tag, ExistingWorkPolicy.KEEP, syncWorkRequest);
