How to make an android app to always run in background?
(3 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I'm developing an android java application,
I'm stuck on a point of how to run a function in the background even if the app is closed.
My goal is to get the user location every 30 minutes.
Thank you.
You can either use JobIntentService or WorkManager for running the task periodically.
JobIntentService
WorkManager Periodically
You can use Service to get user location while the application is in the background.
And for further implementation you can refer below link:-

I want to open my app when some other app is opened.
Ex:
I want to open my game launcher when some game is opened and i want to draw over the other app
How can i make this in android studio? If you found any online article or videos attach the link down.
If you want to be notified of the execution of other applications, you must use AccessibilityService, by activating AccessibilityService, your app will be notified whenever a application is executed, this is the simplest and best solution for that.
You can also get permission Appear on top to draw on other apps or start an activity from your app instead of drawing, there is currently no other control solution.

I am developing a personal app on android studio with java and firebase, in this specific project I don't have registration, protection or something else, just the java code connected to the firebase realtime database.
I'm trying to handle notifications for the first time, I have elements with a release date, I need to trigger a notification when the day of this date comes, it could be days, months or years from the date of creation.
There is a way to do it on firebase? like create programmatically a notification with a specific date scheduled, or, setting some firebase backend code, etc..?
I looked at the other similar questions but found nothing that could guide me in solving my specific problem.
what is the best way to archieve this?
If it's not possible with firebase, what are the other options?
The question that comes closest it's this:
How to trigger notification from firebase at a specific time?
From what I understand what I need can't be done (the question was from 2017 now I don't know if anything has changed), the only way to do it is to set up a server, but it doesn't explain how

I want to set notification for a specific date and time (ex: 15/7/2018 02:00:00) in Android.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
Actually, it's not a duplicated question since the Android background and scheduling management changed dramatically on the newer versions; it's not really good practice to use AlarmManager.
also, you are not able in most cases.
I recommend using WorkManager from the recent jet pack project.
take a look at
Schedule tasks with WorkManager
WorkManager might use JobScheduler, Firebase JobDispatcher, or AlarmManager. You don't need to write device logic to figure out what capabilities the device has and choose an appropriate API; instead, you can just hand your task off to WorkManager and let it choose the best option.

I have an Android App
In my main activity I have a method, which is started when the user clicks a button.
I want to automate this method to run once a day
The method pulls in information and sends it to an local (phone) database.
I am unsure of the alarm service code.
Do I need to put my method into a service and call that at a specified time?
It sounds like you want your method to run every single day regardless of whether the application is open or not. In that case you will need to implement a service. See: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html
