android - Perform database actions in the background every 10 minutes -


i want perform database actions in background every 10 minutes. best method?

maybe:

  • threads: how?
  • services: very complicated?
  • asynctasks: too long period

my current approach:

countdowntimer cleardbscountdowntimer = new countdowntimer(600000, 600000) {     @override     public void onfinish() {         cleardbs();     } };  private void cleardbs() {     // clearing databases here     cleardbscountdowntimer.start(); }

but it's not working: think because cleardbs() method waits countdowntimer finish, right?

but how correctly: ideas?

alarmmanager + intentservice cleanest approach.

with alarmmanager can schedule periodic intentservices.

an intentservice service performs specific action in background thread (onhandleintent() call) , dies.

they make perfect mix perform periodic jobs in background.

check example this post.

please careful kind of operations since result in draining battery (and having angry users).

as suggested @squonk can use setrepeating(...) or setinexactrepeating(...) schedule periodic events.

if want perform background task when app in foreground, can still cancel event calling manager.cancel()
