How to refresh data periodically? #382

Closed Tarubali closed 9 years ago

I am trying to use Robospice with Retrofit in my weather app and I'm not sure how to refresh data periodically and store to cache. I did some searching and came across Alarm Manager and JobScheduler(api21) and JobSchedulerCompat. Do I need these or can I get it done with robospice?

Example: user has set preference to check for weather update every hour.

I am new to Android development so any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

There is no such feature in RS directly. You should rely on one of the options you mentioned above plus also a SyncManager.

Note that questions should be targeted to the discussion forum more than GH issues.
