Android Background Processing

Nicely done, you’ve reached the second part of this course! :] In the first part of the course you learned about the WorkManager API. You implemented some of its features in a very simple app, to download and display an image.

You can think of the first part as an introduction of sorts, and this, second part, as a challenge!

In the second part, you’ll practice all the concepts you’ve learned previously, in a more complex application. You’ll build more workers, chain them together, return results, and observe their status.

You’ll also practice what you’ve learned in a couple of challenges, to make sure the concepts really sink in! :]

Then you’ll learn about the DownloadManager, another cool way to download files and display your progress using a notification! See you in the next episode!
