Work Scheduler Overview

The Work Scheduler provides a mechanism for applications to execute non-real-time tasks when the system is idle. If the preset conditions are met, the tasks will be placed in the execution queue and scheduled when the system is idle.

Usage

If your application needs to execute a non-real-time task, for example, data learning, you can harness the Work Scheduler mechanism, which will schedule the task based on the storage space, power consumption, temperature, and more when the preset conditions are met.

Constraints

The use of the Work Scheduler must comply with the following restrictions and rules:

Timeout: The Work Scheduler callback can run only within the specified period of time. After the timeout, the callback automatically stops.
Execution frequency: The system controls the execution frequency of Work Scheduler tasks based on the activity level of their respective applications.

Application Group	Work Scheduler Task Execution Frequency
Active	At a minimum interval of 2 hours
Used every day	At a minimum interval of 4 hours
Frequently used	At a minimum interval of 24 hours
Infrequently used	At a minimum interval of 48 hours
Restricted	Prohibited
Unused	Prohibited

WorkInfo setting
- workId, bundleName, and abilityName are mandatory. bundleName must be set to the name of the current application. Otherwise, the verification will fail.
- At least one condition must be set.
- The repeat interval must be at least 20 minutes and must work with the Always repeat pattern or repeat times.
