Architect periodic and on-demand sync with WorkManager
Tests combining periodic and push WorkManager requests safely. Outline: one Worker class, PeriodicWorkRequest hourly and OneTimeWorkRequest on push, with ExistingWorkPolicy.KEEP plus constraints. Red flag: two Workers, no deduplication, or ForegroundService.
Tests whether you can unify periodic and triggered background sync in WorkManager without race conditions or duplicated logic. Outline: build one Worker class that inspects input data to distinguish the hourly schedule from a push notification. Enqueue a PeriodicWorkRequest with a 1-hour interval and ExistingPeriodicWorkPolicy.KEEP. For pushes, enqueue a OneTimeWorkRequest with expedited execution and ExistingWorkPolicy.KEEP under a unique name. Apply network constraints to both.
