Time based notification system for attendance

[sjain30]

Implement a time-based notification system for attendance by scheduling notification at the end of class, reminding the user to mark their attendance in the app. Details such as subject name and end time are stored in the timetable database.

Try and use work manager for triggering notification. Incase the timings are updated cancel the previous job and initialize a new for the new input time

[AvishekThapa1997]

Yes i will work.

[AvishekThapa1997]

user will get the notification only when the app is on the screen or even in during when the app is in foreground?

[sakshampruthi]

Every possible scenario on screen, in foreground or in background

[AvishekThapa1997]

there is no google-services.json file due to which app is not getting build.Any help would be appreciated.

[sjain30]

@AvishekThapa1997 we can't share aur google services file due to security reasons. You would have to link it to your own firebase project

[rooparsh]

@sakshampruthi Can you assign this issue to me, am looking into it .

[sakshampruthi]

Hi @rooparsh could you describe your approach?

[rooparsh]

Using the Endtime store in db, will schedule a notification using work manager.

[sakshampruthi]

Work manager is generally used for deferred task and is not reliable to trigger the notification at the required time becuase of doze. It will be scheduled according to the phone maintenance time. I would suggest you to develop a solution using alarm manager and and every time its triggered, access room db with power manager and schedule another alarm using setExactAndAllowWhileIdle()

[rooparsh]

@sakshampruthi We can use periodic work request. I am assuming the classes will be 1 hr long each. So after every 1 hr, a notification can be triggered. And at the end of the last period, we can cancel the job and schedule a new job for next day.
Assign this issue to me, will raise a PR , we can discuss the approach there.
