Support for Worker/WorkManager

Services in Android start to being agressively stopped with doze mode and Android 10. So if you want to execute something into the background, there is many solution, but the most state of the art is to use Worker/WorkManager . (another approach would be AlarmManager)

It requires androidx (#2020)

The first step is to add the dependencies in the build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.2.0'
    implementation 'androidx.annotation:annotation:1.1.0'
}

Now, if you want to execute Python in a Worker, we have the same issue to start Python from Java as Service.
The plan would be to create a PythonRunner java class with a native entrypoint implemented in C to start Python, then update our PythonService to use it, and we can also provide a PythonWorker as well that use it.

Empieza leyendo la documentación de Android WorkManager y el issue enlazado #2020; después, inspecciona el punto de entrada PythonService existente. El trabajo propuesto menciona una clase Java PythonRunner con un punto de entrada nativo en C y un PythonWorker que la utiliza; se considera terminado cuando la ejecución de Python en segundo plano funciona mediante Worker/WorkManager sin romper la ruta de servicio existente.
