JobScheduler - Schedule Job At Device Bootup?

Question

Is it possible to schedule a job to begin at device bootup using JobScheduler?

Or do I have to use BroadcastReceivers instead?

Answer 1

You can do it by setting the setPersisted(true) on the JobInfo object.

Check the official documentation.

Keep in mind that you still need the RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission though.

Answer 2

From my experience you can only do it using BroadcastReceiver. JobScheduler are good when you want to run something based on some conditions, not events (actions).
