For anyone working with WorkManager ’s `CoroutineWorker`s, is there a way to run clean up work during onStopped()? looks like this is marked as final in the implementation for some reason

[ephemient]

coroutineworker cancels the job on stop, so

override suspend fun doWork(): Result = try {
    ...
} catch (e: CancellationException) {
    // run on cancellation (note: cannot suspend here)
    throw e
}

should be executed when that happens

Same rules as clean up of any suspending method apply here as well

[Ian Lake]

Personally, a finally block seems like the appropriate place for unconditional clean up work

[ephemient]

I agree that finally is almost always what you want to handle instead of CancellationException, yes

TIL about the finally block
