Interface WorkContextProvider

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface WorkContextProvider
extends Serializable

This interface specifies the methods a Work instance uses to associate a List of WorkContext instances to be set when the Work instance gets executed by a WorkManager.

A Work instance could optionally implement this interface to indicate to the WorkManager, that the WorkContexts provided by this Work instance through the getWorkContexts method must be used while setting the execution context of the Work instance.

If the getWorkContexts method returns an empty List or null, the WorkManager must treat it as if no additional execution contexts are associated with that Work instance.
