Will Android Firebase Job Dispatcher Trigger by Changing Date Time?

Question

I am using Firebase Job Dispatcher to schedule jobs in Android. https://github.com/firebase/firebase-jobdispatcher-android

The job is meant to run in every 12 hours.

Is it possible to test the job by changing date time of the device to a future date?

Like, will the job get triggered after changing the device time to the next day or so?

-- EDIT - by the way, I tested like so and the job is not triggered. Is that an expected behavior?

Answer 1

Yes, generally it'll not be triggered - especially on newer droids.

There is much on the web about this, even here - What tools are available to test JobScheduler?

In short: use adb shell dumpsys jobscheduler to obtain list with schedulled jobs, find yours by application Id, and then you can trigger it by adb shell cmd jobscheduler run command - take care about job restrictions, or use -f to get over them
