DelegatingWorkerFactory


open class DelegatingWorkerFactory : WorkerFactory


A WorkerFactory which delegates to other factories. Factories can register themselves as delegates, and they will be invoked in order until a delegated factory returns a non-null ListenableWorker instance.

Public functions

addFactory

Added in 2.1.0
fun addFactory(workerFactory: WorkerFactory): Unit

Adds a WorkerFactory to the list of delegates.

Parameters
workerFactory: WorkerFactory

The WorkerFactory instance.

createWorker

Added in 2.10.0
final fun createWorker(
    appContext: Context,
    workerClassName: String,
    workerParameters: WorkerParameters
): ListenableWorker?

Override this method to implement your custom worker-creation logic. Use Configuration.Builder.setWorkerFactory to use your custom class.

Throwing an Exception here and no ListenableWorker will be created. If a WorkerFactory is unable to create an instance of the ListenableWorker, it should return null so it can delegate to the default WorkerFactory.

Returns a new instance of the specified workerClassName given the arguments. The returned worker must be a newly-created instance and must not have been previously returned or invoked by WorkManager. Otherwise, WorkManager will throw an IllegalStateException.

Parameters
appContext: Context

The application context

workerClassName: String

The class name of the worker to create

workerParameters: WorkerParameters

Parameters for worker initialization

Returns
ListenableWorker?

A new ListenableWorker instance of type workerClassName, or null if the worker could not be created
