Guide to Foreground Services
Foreground services are an essential component for executing long-running work on Android. Android 14 includes breaking changes related to foreground services that need to be incorporated if you want to target SDK version 34.
In this session, we will cover what a foreground service is on Android, what has changed in the new Android version, and what you need to do to update your apps to target the latest SDK version. You will learn what foreground service types are and what common errors to watch out for.
We will also take a practical look at how to correctly implement foreground services using a sample project.
Leave this session confident you can work with foreground services and update your existing app to target the latest SDK version.
