Using wakeLock without timeout
Using wakeLock without timeout
Wakelocks have two acquire methods: one with a timeout, and one without. You should generally always use the one with a timeout. A typical timeout is 10 minutes. If the task takes longer than it is critical that it happens (i.e. can't use JobScheduler
) then maybe they should consider a foreground service instead (which is a stronger run guarantee and lets the user know something long/important is happening).
