• Introduction to SQL, Room, and Flow
Learn the basics of reading and manipulating data with SQL, and how to create and use relational databases in an Android app with the Room library.
• Use Room for data persistence
Use the Room library to allow your apps to read and write from a database.
Unit 6: WorkManager
Use Android Jetpack’s WorkManager API to schedule necessary background work, like backing up data or downloading fresh content, that keeps running even if the app exits or the device restarts
• Schedule tasks with WorkManager
Learn when and how to use WorkManager, an API that handles background work that needs to run regardless of whether the application process is still running.
