I am using Intent Service to monitor Geofence transition. For that I am using following call from a Sticky Service.
LocationServices.GeofencingApi.addGeofences(
mGoogleApiClient,
getGeofencingRequest(),
getGeofencePendingIntent()
)
and the Pending Intent calls Transition service (an IntentService) like below.
private PendingIntent getGeofencePendingIntent() {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, GeofenceTransitionsIntentService.class);
// We use FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT so that we get the
//same pending intent back when calling addgeoFences()
return PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}
This worked fine Pre Oreo. However, I had to convert my sticky service to a JobScheduler and I need to convert GeofenceTransitionsIntentService
which is an intentService to JobIntentService.
Having said that I am not sure how to return create a PendingIntent for JobIntentService, because I need to call enqueueWork for JobIntentService.
Any suggestions/pointer would be appreciated.
As @andrei_zaitcev suggested, I implemented my custom BroadCastReceiver and call enqueueWork()
of the Service, which works perfectly.
