An enumeration of results for `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager#updateWork(androidx.work.WorkRequest)` method.

## Summary

| ### Enum Values |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager.UpdateResult#APPLIED_FOR_NEXT_RUN` | An update was successfully applied, but the worker being updated was running. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager.UpdateResult#APPLIED_IMMEDIATELY` | An update was successfully applied immediately, meaning the updated work wasn't currently running in the moment of the request. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager.UpdateResult#NOT_APPLIED` | An update wasn't applied, because `Worker` has already finished. |

| ### Public methods |
|---|---|

| `static final @https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager.UpdateResult` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager.UpdateResult#valueOf(kotlin.String)(@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html value)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. |
| `static final @https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull WorkManager.UpdateResult[]` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager.UpdateResult#values()()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. |

## Enum Values

### APPLIED_FOR_NEXT_RUN

```
WorkManager.UpdateResult WorkManager.UpdateResult.APPLIED_FOR_NEXT_RUN
```

An update was successfully applied, but the worker being updated was running. This run isn't interrupted and will continue to rely on previous state of the request, e.g. using old constraints, tags etc. However, on the next run, e.g. retry of one-time Worker or another iteration of periodic worker, the new worker specification. will be used.

### APPLIED_IMMEDIATELY

```
WorkManager.UpdateResult WorkManager.UpdateResult.APPLIED_IMMEDIATELY
```

An update was successfully applied immediately, meaning the updated work wasn't currently running in the moment of the request. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/WorkManager.UpdateResult#APPLIED_FOR_NEXT_RUN` for the case of running worker.

### NOT_APPLIED

```
WorkManager.UpdateResult WorkManager.UpdateResult.NOT_APPLIED
```

An update wasn't applied, because `Worker` has already finished.

## Public methods

### getEntries

```
public final @NonNull EnumEntries<@NonNull WorkManager.UpdateResult> getEntries()
```

Returns an immutable `https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin.enums/-enum-entries/index.html` list containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.

### valueOf

Added in [2.8.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/work#2.8.0)

```
public static final @NonNull WorkManager.UpdateResult valueOf(@NonNull String value)
```

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

| Throws |
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-illegal-argument-exception/index.html` | if this enum type has no constant with the specified name |

### values

Added in [2.8.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/work#2.8.0)

```
public static final @NonNull WorkManager.UpdateResult[] values()
```

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.

This method may be used to iterate over the constants.

The function returns a new instance of the array on every call. The array could be mutated, so working with it may also require defensive copying. Consider using `entries` property as a more efficient alternative returning an immutable list of enum entries.
