How to reschedule JobScheduler?

How to reschedule JobScheduler that I started with setPeriodic(), I want to change the scheduler time later with user input.

JobInfo.Builder builder =
    new JobInfo.Builder(JOB_ID, new ComponentName(this, MyJobScheduler.class));
builder
   .setPeriodic(15000)
   .setRequiredNetworkType(JobInfo.NETWORK_TYPE_ANY)
   .setPersisted(true);
jobScheduler.schedule(builder.build());
Solution

  • Currently, there is no option to reschedule a job. What you can do is call the cancel() method to cancel the job with the given job id and schedule a new job. So it would look something like:

    jobScheduler.cancel(JOB_ID);
// Construct a new JobInfo.Builder
jobScheduler.schedule(builder.build());
