Operation

public interface Operation

androidx.work.Operation

An object that provides information about the execution of an asynchronous command being performed by WorkManager. Operations are generally tied to enqueue or cancel commands; when you call one of those commands, they occur asynchronously. You can observe or await these commands by using the returned Operation.

Summary

Nested classes

class Operation.State

The lifecycle state of an Operation. 

Public methods

abstract ListenableFuture<Operation.State.SUCCESS> getResult()

Gets a ListenableFuture for the terminal state of the Operation.

abstract LiveData<Operation.State> getState()

Gets a LiveData of the Operation Operation.State.

Public methods

getResult

public abstract ListenableFuture<Operation.State.SUCCESS> getResult ()

Gets a ListenableFuture for the terminal state of the Operation. This will only resolve with a Operation.State.SUCCESS. The Operation.State.FAILURE state will come through as a Throwable on the ListenableFuture. Operation.State.IN_PROGRESS will never be reported as it's not a terminal state.

Call Future.get() to block until the Operation reaches a terminal state.

Returns
ListenableFuture<Operation.State.SUCCESS> A ListenableFuture with information about Operation's Operation.State.SUCCESS state.

getState

public abstract LiveData<Operation.State> getState ()

Gets a LiveData of the Operation Operation.State.

Returns
LiveData<Operation.State> A LiveData of the Operation Operation.State; you must use LiveData.observe(LifecycleOwner, Observer) to receive updates
