Implement background services into Android Apps
This course helps developers who want to build applications working in the background, by exposing you to using Android Background Service capabilities effectively. Services come out as the best option with backward app compatibility.
You will learn a variety of topics like starting and stopping your service, interacting with the background service and creating and sending a work request, exploring the lifecycle of your service along with understanding the security issues in using it. You will learn to use IntentService, which utilizes a worker or background thread to execute tasks. You will explore what’s new in the Background Service in Android Oreo and check out its limitations, and then overcome those limitations. You will then learn best practices and how to deal with problems and issues that might arise
By the end of the course, you will have a strong foundation in background services in Android and will be able to build the function you need to ensure you won’t drain the battery excessively, compromise the user’s security, consume too much data, or hamper the device’s performance.
A comprehensive course packed with step-by-step instructions, working examples, and helpful advice on working with Android Background services. This course is divided into clear chunks so you can learn at your own pace and focus on your own area of interest.
