Tizen Native API  5.5
Job scheduler

The Job scheduler API contains the job scheduler library.

Required Header

#include <job_scheduler.h>

Overview

It provides functions to define job-execution conditions. It improves the applications' performance and system health.

Related Features

Some job trigger events and some functions are related with the following features:

  • http://tizen.org/feature/network.wifi
  • http://tizen.org/feature/location.gps
  • http://tizen.org/feature/battery
  • http://tizen.org/feature/usb.host

It is recommended to use features in your application for reliability. You can check if the device supports the related features for this API by using System Information, and control your application's actions accordingly. To ensure your application is only running on devices with specific features, please define the features in your manifest file using the manifest editor in the SDK. More details on featuring your application can be found from Feature Element.
