[JAR] WorkManager and deps. #6

alphanumericaracters commented 3 weeks ago

Well, I'm working on an extension that connects with Supabase (Realtime) and subscribes to streaming channels, to receive notifications about changes in the database, presence, etc.

The problem (as you know) is about keeping the WebHook awake, and for this I need the WorkManager.

My idea is to package all of this in a single, simple extension, so that you don't have to create functions, store tags, etc.

So I would need to know if you can package the workmanager, alarm, etc. in a .jar. So I import it into the Niotron ide and I can work from there.

Obviously with the name of the package that you gave it, so I can do the import correctly.

If you're wondering why I don't use the framework, it's because I use the Supabase library for Kotlin.

By the way, Github didn't let me create a pull, that's why I'm posting it here.

Hi, sorry I didnt see your issue, please message me on the community next time.

It's hard to package work manager and other things into a single .jar. Android dependencies are much more complex to be packed into a single .jar. And I do not recommend using work manager, you will have a lot of trouble porting it to an extension.

The framework by itself does not run in the background. The background functionality is implemented by the extension using itoo-x framework, like the itoo extension.
