Jul 15, 2018 06:15PM

I'm using WorkManager alpha-4 and have converted my app's sync jobs to workers. If the device remains plugged in, the periodic jobs run as expected (approx once an hour as scheduled). However, when taking the device off power, allowing it to go to sleep, after a period of time the workers no longer excecute.

My log contains the following statements at the time when the jobs (there are 4) were supposed to execute:

As you can see from the log entries below, things were running just fine up to that point:

Status: Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)

My guess is an AutoValue extension is what's needed here:

We accept pull requests! :)

> We accept pull requests! :)

Is there a public repo somewhere? I don't see any obvious repo for it in

https://android.googlesource.com, and it doesn't seem to be inside

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support.

Room supports final fields (yay!), which probably will suffice for many people with respect to this feature request.

da...@gmail.com <da...@gmail.com> #4Jul 16, 2018 09:15PM

Room supports immutability (it can use arg constructors) but does not directly support AutoValue. It is in the schedule but not high priority :/. Idk much about its internals at this stage so I'm not sure how we would implement it but should be totally doable.

Sorry we don't have the source release yet :/.

"It is in the schedule but not high priority" -- completely understandable.

"Sorry we don't have the source release yet :/." -- ah, OK, I thought perhaps with the pull request comment, that meant that there was a repo somewhere that I had overlooked.

Thanks!

Add autovalue support also means you can easily achieve parcelable by

https://github.com/rharter/auto-value-parcel. Please consider support this.

da...@gmail.com <da...@gmail.com> #7Jul 16, 2018 11:03PM

AutoValue is really a handy way to ensure data integrity.

ra...@google.com <ra...@google.com> #8Jul 18, 2018 06:27PM

Assigned to ra...@google.com.

Please add AutoValue support. AutoValue is a Google library with really good benefits such as toString() , hashCode() , AutoValue.Builder , checks at creation time if @NonNull values are null, etc.

Marked as fixed.

FWIW,

issue 64206877

is not publicly accessible.

@Yigit: That appears to be a private ticket. Any way we can have access to keep up with it?

sa...@gmail.com <sa...@gmail.com> #11Jun 27, 2019 08:20AM

Have any updates?
