Tor, Sumir, Tor, Chet, a spiral notebook (blank), and Tor In this episode, Chet and Tor talk with Sumir Kataria about the new WorkManager library that was announced at Google I/O (and released in early form). WorkManager makes it easier to schedule asynchronous work at a more appropriate time using a fluent, chainable API. Think of it as JobScheduler (in fact it uses JobScheduler internally when present), but handling situations and devices that don't have a recent enough version of the OS to have the JobScheduler API available. Go get WorkManager and try it out - we'd love to get feedback on it as we iterate toward 1.0. Subscribe to the podcast feed or download the audio file directly.
