Start job in specific time and run periodically every to 2 hours to 5 days

i want to schedule a complex job that is firing in specific time and recurring every specific time for range of another time. example : fire alarm sound at 12:00 am and repeating every 2 hours and ending time of job is + 5days

when i setWindowExecution() or setExact() with setPeriodic() it’s throw exception exceptions: Can’t call setExecutionWindow() on a periodic job. Can’t require any condition for an exact job.

Here Is My Code JobRequest.Builder builder = new JobRequest.Builder(Constants.APP_JOB_TAG) .setExecutionWindow(startTime, endExecutionTime) // .setExact(startTime) .setBackoffCriteria(5_000L, JobRequest.BackoffPolicy.EXPONENTIAL) .setExtras(extras) .setRequirementsEnforced(true) .setUpdateCurrent(true); if (taskModel.getTask_repeat() > 0) { builder.setPeriodic(taskModel.getTask_repeat() + (2 * ONE_MINUTE_IN_MILLIS), taskModel.getTask_repeat()); } int jobId = builder.build().schedule();

do i miss understood something ? please help

Hi, @ebnrdwan ! You can’t call setExecutionWindown on a periodic job. If you want to schedule a periodic job, just set a time interval in milliseconds on setPeriodic method.

For example, I have a job that execute every 15 minutes and 5 minutes flex time interval, check it out:

JobRequest.Builder(JobServiceSync.TAG).setPeriodic(TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(15), TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(5)).build();

And remember, when you use setPeriodic to schedule a job, the min. time interval is 15 minutes. This is a AlarmManager limitation.
