Hi, I understand setprogress will send update to ui when work state is in running state according to Ref: https://developer.android.com/develop/background-work/background-tasks/persistent/how-to/observe

but when i send progress before success or failure result. it is not propagated to the UI.

Is there any better way to send update, when i use success/failure to show toast, it is getting shown every time the fragment is open, because of workinfo being cached in DB




sample code:

============ TestFragment.kt

 workManager.getWorkInfosForUniqueWorkFlow(workManagerUniqueName).collect{
            val showToast = it.progress.getBoolean("showToast",false)
            if(showToast == true){
                Toast.maketext(conext," progress message", Short).show
            }
        }

========== ContentWorker.kt

  class ContentWorker(
        appContext: Context,
        workerParameters: WorkerParameters):CoroutineWorker(appContext, workerParameters) {

        var isFail = true
        override suspend fun doWork(): Result {
            //Long task
            delay(2000)

            return if (isFail) {
                setProgress(workDataOf("showToast" to true))
                // I am adding this delay in order for setProgress to send updates to UI which is collected through flow.
                //   delay(100)
                SFLogger.debug(TAG, "doWork() - return fail")
                Result.failure()
            } else {
                SFLogger.debug(TAG, "doWork() - return success")
                Result.success()
            }
        }
    }
