The Android WorkManager library makes it easy to schedule deferrable tasks that are expected to run even if the app exits or the device restarts. Need to sync photos with a server, or do a daily cache clean-up? Then WorkManager is the library for you! Because WorkManager is compatible with API 14+ and follows system health best practices, it is the recommended approach for handling most background execution tasks on Android.

WorkManager supports:
-One-off and periodic tasks
-Constraints, such as network availability
-Chaining tasks, parallel or sequentially
-Observable task state for display in UI
-Customized threading strategy
