Maui Android support for WorkManager

[omxie]

Hello there,
is WorkManager available for Maui Android?
And would this Xamarin Nuget Package work for Maui? Currently when I install that package, I end up with lots of errors and the application fails to execute.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Instead of Xamarin.Android.Arch.Work.Runtime, try using Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime. See also http://damien.dennehy.me/using-workmanager-and-listenableworker-in-xamarin-android/.

Any updates on this? I cant get it to work on maui :(
If I dont find a solution soon I'll have to reconsider xamarin

I managed to make it work with <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime" Version="2.7.1.5" />
Here is a sample code:

    public void SyncData()
    {
        using var builder = new Constraints.Builder();
        builder.SetRequiredNetworkType(NetworkType.Connected);
        var workConstraints = builder.Build();

        var workerRequest = new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(typeof(DataSyncWorker))
            .SetConstraints(workConstraints)
            .AddTag(DataSyncWorker.TAG)
            .Build();

        WorkManager.GetInstance(Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel.Platform.AppContext)
            .EnqueueUniqueWork(DataSyncWorker.TAG, ExistingWorkPolicy.Keep, workerRequest);
    }

and the worker class that implements either Worker or ListenableWorker as per official docs https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/Worker

Thank you, it is working now with the version 2.7.1.5 of Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime

I got a strange kotlin.io.path.ExperimentalPathApi version conflict when I tried the latest version of this (Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime v2.7.1.6).
So I tried referencing Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Work.Runtime.Ktx v2.7.1.6 instead and it all works well now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.

I am interesting to run a background task, and it seems that the Worker could be a solution for me. But I am new and I am a bit lose by the moment.

In the asnwered solution, the SyncData() method, where is implemented? In a class insde Platforms\Android folder or in the MAUI folder? I mean if it is an especific class of Android or a generic class.

could it be possible you could share the code that works for you?

Thanks so much.
