Aplikasi Android asring perlu nindakake pekerjaan latar belakang — tugas-tugas sing dindakake ing njaba UI langsung, kaya sinkronisasi data, unggahan, utawa pekerjaan periodik. Android nyediakake sawetara mekanisme (WorkManager, Services, coroutines) kanthi kasus panggunaan sing beda-beda, plus watesan penting saka OS.
Pilihan pekerjaan latar belakang
COROUTINES (in a ViewModel scope) → for async work tied to the UI/screen (network calls,
loading data) — runs while the screen is active
WORKMANAGER → for DEFERRABLE, GUARANTEED background work that must complete (even if the
app closes or the device reboots): syncing, uploads, periodic tasks, retries
→ the RECOMMENDED solution for most persistent background work
FOREGROUND SERVICE → for ongoing, user-visible background work (music playback, navigation,
active tracking) — shows a persistent notification
SERVICES → general background components (largely superseded by WorkManager/coroutines
for most cases)
