Worked on the ankidroid/Anki-Android repository to implement a background widget update system using WorkManager, focusing on reliability and battery efficiency. The solution centralized update logic with an AppLifecycleObserver and replaced scattered onStop triggers across multiple activities and fragments. By introducing a dedicated SmallWidgetUpdateWorker and adjusting the update interval to 15 minutes, the work ensured widgets remained current even when the app was backgrounded or closed. The approach leveraged Kotlin and Gradle, emphasizing Android development best practices and lifecycle management. These changes improved code maintainability, reduced redundant updates, and balanced data freshness with energy consumption for a better user experience.
