Feature Request - Allow sync uploading from a background worker #453

Closed natidykstein closed 5 years ago

natidykstein commented 5 years ago

I'd like to take advantage of Android's WorkManager benefits (constraints, retries, etc...) while using the upload task of the library directly.

For example - uploading synchronically from a background worker using an UploadTask instead of relying on a service to do all the heavy lifting. (in this scenario I don't need the notification as well)

Today everything is hard-wired together - there is no way to take advantage of the upload code without running through the service and notification.

I'd like to see that in future versions.

This is something I plan to do after 4.0.0 (#450) which will bring the codebase to 100% Kotlin with a better architecture and more polished APIs. Post your ideas, use cases and scenarios below and let's discuss how to best implement this integration

@natidykstein look at the 4.0.0 branch. Now it should be easier to accomplish what you asked, but I need a feedback from you to be sure the separation of responsibilities needed to run the uploads from WorkManager is on the right track
