Transferencia de datos que inicia el usuario

If you need to perform a data transfer that may take a long time, you can create a JobScheduler job and identify it as a user-initiated data transfer (UIDT) job. UIDT jobs are intended for longer-duration data transfers that are initiated by the device user, such as downloading a file from a remote server. UIDT jobs were introduced with Android 14 (API level 34).

User-initiated data transfer jobs are started by the user. These jobs require a notification, start immediately, and may be able to run for an extended period of time as system conditions allow. You can run several user-initiated data transfer jobs concurrently.

User initiated jobs must be scheduled while the application is visible to the user (or in one of the allowed conditions). After all constraints are met, user initiated jobs can be executed by the OS, subject to system health restrictions. The system may also use the provided estimated payload size to determine how long the job executes.

Cómo programar tareas de transferencia de datos que inicia el usuario

To run a user initiated data-transfer job, do the following:

  1. Make sure your app has declared the JobService and associated permissions in its manifest:

    <service android:name="com.example.app.CustomTransferService"
        android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"
        android:exported="false">
        ...
</service>

    Also, define a concrete subclass of JobService for your data transfer:

    Kotlin

    class CustomTransferService : JobService() {
  ...
}

    Java

    class CustomTransferService extends JobService() {

    ....

}

  2. Declare the RUN_USER_INITIATED_JOBS permission in the manifest:

    <manifest ...>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RUN_USER_INITIATED_JOBS" />
    <application ...>
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

  3. Call the setUserInitiated() method when building a JobInfo object. (This method is available beginning with Android 14.) We also recommend that you offer a payload size estimate by calling setEstimatedNetworkBytes() while creating your job.

    Kotlin

    val networkRequestBuilder = NetworkRequest.Builder()
        // Add or remove capabilities based on your requirements.
        // For example, this code specifies that the job won't run
        // unless there's a connection to the internet (not just a local
        // network), and the connection doesn't charge per-byte.
        .addCapability(NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
        .addCapability(NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_METERED)
        .build()

val jobInfo = JobInfo.Builder(jobId,
              ComponentName(mContext, CustomTransferService::class.java))
        // ...
        .setUserInitiated(true)
        .setRequiredNetwork(networkRequestBuilder)
        // Provide your estimate of the network traffic here
        .setEstimatedNetworkBytes(1024 * 1024 * 1024)
        // ...
        .build()

    Java

    NetworkRequest networkRequest = new NetworkRequest.Builder()
    // Add or remove capabilities based on your requirements.
    // For example, this code specifies that the job won't run
    // unless there's a connection to the internet (not just a local
    // network), and the connection doesn't charge per-byte.
    .addCapability(NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
    .addCapability(NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_METERED)
    .build();

JobInfo jobInfo = JobInfo.Builder(jobId,
        new ComponentName(mContext, CustomTransferService.class))
    // ...
    .setUserInitiated(true)
    .setRequiredNetwork(networkRequest)
    // Provide your estimate of the network traffic here
    .setEstimatedNetworkBytes(1024 * 1024 * 1024)
    // ...
    .build();

  4. While the job is being executed, call setNotification() on the JobService object. Calling setNotification() makes the user aware that the job is running, both in the Task Manager and in the status bar notification area.

    When execution is complete, call jobFinished() to signal to the system that the job is complete, or that the job should be rescheduled.

    Kotlin

    class CustomTransferService: JobService() {
    private val scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO)

    @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE)
    override fun onStartJob(params: JobParameters): Boolean {
        val notification = Notification.Builder(applicationContext,
                              NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID)
            .setContentTitle("My user-initiated data transfer job")
            .setSmallIcon(android.R.mipmap.myicon)
            .setContentText("Job is running")
            .build()

        setNotification(params, notification.id, notification,
                JobService.JOB_END_NOTIFICATION_POLICY_DETACH)
        // Execute the work associated with this job asynchronously.
        scope.launch {
            doDownload(params)
        }
        return true
    }

    private suspend fun doDownload(params: JobParameters) {
        // Run the relevant async download task, then call
        // jobFinished once the task is completed.
        jobFinished(params, false)
    }

    // Called when the system stops the job.
    override fun onStopJob(params: JobParameters?): Boolean {
        // Asynchronously record job-related data, such as the
        // stop reason.
        return true // or return false if job should end entirely
    }
}

    Java

    class CustomTransferService extends JobService{
    @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE)
    @Override
    public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters params) {
        Notification notification = Notification.Builder(getBaseContext(),
                                        NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID)
                .setContentTitle("My user-initiated data transfer job")
                .setSmallIcon(android.R.mipmap.myicon)
                .setContentText("Job is running")
                .build();

        setNotification(params, notification.id, notification,
                          JobService.JOB_END_NOTIFICATION_POLICY_DETACH)
        // Execute the work associated with this job asynchronously.
        new Thread(() -> doDownload(params)).start();
        return true;
    }

    private void doDownload(JobParameters params) {
        // Run the relevant async download task, then call
        // jobFinished once the task is completed.
        jobFinished(params, false);
    }

    // Called when the system stops the job.
    @Override
    public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters params) {
        // Asynchronously record job-related data, such as the
        // stop reason.
        return true; // or return false if job should end entirely
    }
}

  5. Periodically update the notification to keep the user informed of the job's status and progress. If you cannot determine the transfer size ahead of scheduling the job, or need to update the estimated transfer size, use the new API, updateEstimatedNetworkBytes() to update the transfer size after it becomes known.

Recommendations

To run UIDT jobs effectively, do the following:

  1. Clearly define network constraints and job execution constraints to specify when the job should be executed.

  2. Execute the task asynchronously in onStartJob(); for example, you can do this by using a coroutine. If you don't run the task asynchronously, the work runs on the main thread and might block it, which can cause an ANR.

  3. To avoid running the job longer than necessary, call jobFinished() when the transfer finishes, whether it succeeds or fails. That way, the job doesn't run longer than necessary. To discover why a job was stopped, implement the onStopJob() callback method and call JobParameters.getStopReason().

Retrocompatibilidad

Actualmente, no hay ninguna biblioteca de Jetpack que admita trabajos de UIDT. Por este motivo, te recomendamos que limites el cambio con código que verifique que estás ejecutando Android 14 o una versión posterior. En versiones anteriores de Android, puedes usar la implementación del servicio en primer plano de WorkManager como un enfoque alternativo.

Este es un ejemplo de código que verifica la versión del sistema adecuada:

Kotlin

fun beginTask() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE) {
        scheduleDownloadFGSWorker(context)
    } else {
        scheduleDownloadUIDTJob(context)
    }
}

private fun scheduleDownloadUIDTJob(context: Context) {
    // build jobInfo
    val jobScheduler: JobScheduler =
        context.getSystemService(Context.JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE) as JobScheduler
    jobScheduler.schedule(jobInfo)
}

private fun scheduleDownloadFGSWorker(context: Context) {
    val myWorkRequest = OneTimeWorkRequest.from(DownloadWorker::class.java)
    WorkManager.getInstance(context).enqueue(myWorkRequest)
}

Java

public void beginTask() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE) {
        scheduleDownloadFGSWorker(context);
    } else {
        scheduleDownloadUIDTJob(context);
    }
}

private void scheduleDownloadUIDTJob(Context context) {
    // build jobInfo
    JobScheduler jobScheduler =
            (JobScheduler) context.getSystemService(Context.JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE);
    jobScheduler.schedule(jobInfo);
}

private void scheduleDownloadFGSWorker(Context context) {
    OneTimeWorkRequest myWorkRequest = OneTimeWorkRequest.from(DownloadWorker.class);
    WorkManager.getInstance(context).enqueue(myWorkRequest)
}

Detén los trabajos de UIDT

El usuario y el sistema pueden detener tareas de transferencia que inicia el usuario.

Por el usuario, desde el Administrador de tareas

El usuario puede detener una tarea de transferencia de datos que inicia él mismo y que aparece en el Administrador de tareas.

En el momento en que el usuario presiona Detener, el sistema hace lo siguiente:

  • Finaliza el proceso de tu app de inmediato, incluidos todas las demás tareas o servicios en primer plano que se ejecutan.
  • No llama a onStopJob() para ninguna tarea en ejecución.
  • Evita la reprogramación de las tareas visibles para el usuario.

Por estos motivos, te recomendamos que proporciones controles en la notificación publicada para la tarea para permitir que se detenga y se reprograme la tarea con facilidad.

Ten en cuenta que, en circunstancias especiales, el botón Detener no aparece junto a la tarea en el Administrador de tareas, o la tarea no se muestra en el Administrador en absoluto.

Por el sistema

A diferencia de las tareas normales, las de transferencia de datos que inicia el usuario no se ven afectadas por las cuotas de los buckets de App Standby. Sin embargo, el sistema detiene la tarea si se produce alguna de las siguientes condiciones:

  • Ya no se cumple una restricción que define el desarrollador.
  • El sistema determina que la tarea se ejecutó más tiempo del necesario para completar la tarea de transferencia de datos.
  • El sistema debe priorizar el estado del sistema y detener las tareas debido al aumento del estado térmico.
  • El proceso de la app finaliza debido a la poca memoria del dispositivo.

Cuando el sistema detiene el trabajo por motivos distintos a la poca memoria del dispositivo, el sistema llama a onStopJob() y vuelve a intentar el trabajo en un momento que considera óptimo. Asegúrate de que tu app pueda conservar el estado de transferencia de datos, incluso si no se llama a onStopJob(), y que tu app pueda restablecer este estado cuando se vuelva a llamar a onStartJob().

Condiciones permitidas para programar tareas de transferencia de datos que inicia el usuario

Apps can only start a user-initiated data transfer job if the app is in the visible window, or if certain conditions are met:

  • If an app can launch activities from the background, it can also launch user-initiated data transfer jobs from the background.
  • If an app has an activity in the back stack of an existing task on the Recents screen, that alone doesn't allow a user-initiated data transfer job to run.

If the job is scheduled to run at a time when the necessary conditions are not met, the job fails and returns a RESULT_FAILURE error code.

Restricciones permitidas para las tareas de transferencia de datos que inicia el usuario

To support jobs running at optimal points, Android offers the ability to assign constraints to each job type. These constraints are available as of Android 13.

Note: The following table only compares the constraints that vary between each job type. See JobScheduler developer page or work constraints for all constraints.

The following table shows the different job types that support a given job constraint, as well as the set of job constraints that WorkManager supports. Use the search bar before the table to filter the table by the name of a job constraint method.

These are the constraints allowed with user-initiated data transfer jobs:

  • setBackoffCriteria(JobInfo.BACKOFF_POLICY_EXPONENTIAL)
  • setClipData()
  • setEstimatedNetworkBytes()
  • setMinimumNetworkChunkBytes()
  • setPersisted()
  • setNamespace()
  • setRequiredNetwork()
  • setRequiredNetworkType()
  • setRequiresBatteryNotLow()
  • setRequiresCharging()
  • setRequiresStorageNotLow()

Prueba

En la siguiente lista, se muestran algunos pasos para probar las tareas de tu app de forma manual:

  • Para obtener el ID de tarea, consigue el valor que se define en la tarea que se está compilando.

  • Para ejecutar una tarea de inmediato o volver a intentar una tarea detenida, ejecuta el siguiente comando en una ventana de terminal:

    adb shell cmd jobscheduler run -f APP_PACKAGE_NAME JOB_ID

  • Para simular que el sistema detiene, de manera forzosa, una tarea (debido al estado de este o a las condiciones de falta de cuota), ejecuta el siguiente comando en una ventana de terminal:

    adb shell cmd jobscheduler timeout TEST_APP_PACKAGE TEST_JOB_ID
