Question - using background_downloader to offload in background basic HTTP tracking queries #388

Open evaisse opened 2 hours ago

Hello,

We have some basic http GET call to track user navigation (when user navigate from screen to screen). Do you think background_downloader is reliable enough to offload those calls which are currently handled by the main flutter process ? Is that a possible use-case for background_downloader ?

Thx,

Yes, you can use it for "set and forget" type GET requests, perhaps using a DataTask but you could also look into the Dio package that is often used for foreground GET requests.

You should of course also consider packages and services specific to this purpose, eg Firebase Analytics
