Hi everyone 👋

I'm trying to make my app hit my server which consists of the FCM api endpoint, every weekly or monthly based on the user preference, but I don't really know how to go about it, I figured the operation would be a background task but I'm stuck at what I need to use cos AlarmManager would only achieve it for an exact time hour you fixed. So anyone with any article or guide would really appreciate

Hello! There are some things you have to consider when you want to schedule some background task. So you need to know what you need, I think this could be useful for you: https://developer.android.com/guide/background after read that you would know the type of background task you need to do. If your background task need to be schedule at some time but can be deffered or not fired at a exact time then you need to go directly for https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/workmanager.
