Using seney inside background work manager worker

[kpradeepkumarreddy]

I'm using sensey inside work manager worker. Can i use this library to sense even when the app is in background ?

Yes and no.

With API 28 onwards there are background limitations imposed by Android OS itself. SO considering that background processing might not work because the sensor data is not even available via the OS.

Sensey was built to tap into system generated sensor data. If the OS doesn't emit sensor data, sensey cannot do anything.

Below API 28, though you can capture sensor data using a Service.
