According to Google Geofence API example here
you can set the expirationDurationTime, when you add a geofence object.
How can I set the time for start Geofence Monitoring in Android ? Example:
I want to have a geofence monitoring for tomorrow at 14:30 til 15:30 in "abc" location with "xyz" geofence cycle I did not found any function provide by google geofence api, which i can set the time of start monitoring for a geofence object.
Please help me. I am very desperate right now :(
Update
after reading about WorkManager from post of @Pavneet_Singh I am still confuse how to combine the WorkManager here, because i have already extends my class with IntentService in order to get the intent received from Location.Service.
public class GeofenceTransitionsIntentService extends IntentService {
private final String TAG = "GeofenceTransIntServ";
/**
* Creates an IntentService. Invoked by your subclass's constructor.
*
* @param name Used to name the worker thread, important only for debugging.
*/
public GeofenceTransitionsIntentService(String name) {
super(name);
}
/**
* This method is invoked on the worker thread with a request to process.
* Only one Intent is processed at a time, but the processing happens on a
* worker thread that runs independently from other application logic.
* So, if this code takes a long time, it will hold up other requests to
* the same IntentService, but it will not hold up anything else.
* When all requests have been handled, the IntentService stops itself,
* so you should not call {@link #stopSelf}.
*
* @param intent The value passed to {@link
* Context#startService(Intent)}.
* This may be null if the service is being restarted after
* its process has gone away; see
* {@link Service#onStartCommand}
* for details.
*/
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(@Nullable Intent intent) {
GeofencingEvent geofencingEvent = GeofencingEvent.fromIntent(intent);
if (geofencingEvent.hasError()) {
String errorMessage = GeofenceErrorMessages.getErrorString(this,
geofencingEvent.getErrorCode());
Log.e(TAG, errorMessage);
return;
}
// Get the transition type.
int geofenceTransition = geofencingEvent.getGeofenceTransition();
// Test that the reported transition was of interest.
if (geofenceTransition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER ||
geofenceTransition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT) {
// Get the geofences that were triggered. A single event can trigger
// multiple geofences.
List<Geofence> triggeringGeofences = geofencingEvent.getTriggeringGeofences();
// Get the transition details as a String.
String geofenceTransitionDetails = getGeofenceTransitionDetails(
geofenceTransition,
triggeringGeofences
);
// Send notification and log the transition details.
sendNotification(geofenceTransitionDetails);
Log.i(TAG, geofenceTransitionDetails);
} else {
// Error
}
}
private void sendNotification(String geofenceTransitionDetails) {
// send notification
}
/**

*
* @param geofenceTransition The ID of the geofence transition.
* @param triggeringGeofences The geofence(s) triggered.
* @return The transition details formatted as String.
*/
private String getGeofenceTransitionDetails(
int geofenceTransition,
List<Geofence> triggeringGeofences) {
String geofenceTransitionString = getTransitionString(geofenceTransition);
// Get the Ids of each geofence that was triggered.
ArrayList<String> triggeringGeofencesIdsList = new ArrayList<>();
for (Geofence geofence : triggeringGeofences) {
triggeringGeofencesIdsList.add(geofence.getRequestId());
}
String triggeringGeofencesIdsString = TextUtils.join(", ", triggeringGeofencesIdsList);
return geofenceTransitionString + ": " + triggeringGeofencesIdsString;
}
private String getTransitionString(int geofenceTransition) {
// get the transitionType as String
return null;
}
}
My Idea : Pass notificationMessage from GeofenceTransitionsIntentService to another class which extends from Worker and from there use the setInitialdelay method to push the notification with delay ?
I found someone extends the GeofenceTransitionsIntentService class with JobIntentService but i do not think i can extends my Class with JobIntentService because JobIntentService does´nt offer a delay function.
How could I get it work now and am I right with my thinking ?
Thanks
