How to make WorkManager backward compatible?

To make WorkManager backward compatible in Android, you can use the AndroidX WorkManager library, which ensures that your code can run on older versions of Android (API level 14 and above). By correctly configuring WorkManager, you can schedule tasks even on devices that support lower versions of Android while ensuring modern features on newer devices.

Below is an example of how to set up WorkManager in a backward-compatible manner:

// Add the WorkManager dependency in your build.gradle (app level) dependencies { implementation "androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.1" // Use the latest stable version } // Create a Worker class public class MyWorker extends Worker { public MyWorker(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull WorkerParameters workerParams) { super(context, workerParams); } @NonNull @Override public Result doWork() { // Do the task here return Result.success(); } } // Schedule the work WorkManager workManager = WorkManager.getInstance(context); OneTimeWorkRequest workRequest = new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(MyWorker.class).build(); workManager.enqueue(workRequest);
