Does Firebase Job dispatcher needs internet access for scheduling job?

Question

Does Firebase Job dispatcher needs Internet access for scheduling job? When I turn off my Internet access it seems like the scheduled job is not doing anything at all. When I turn it on back, the scheduled job starts the working.

This my code for scheduling job using Firebase Job.

FirebaseJobDispatcher dispatcher = 
                    new FirebaseJobDispatcher(new GooglePlayDriver(this));
Job myJob = dispatcher.newJobBuilder()
   .setService(MyJobService.class)
   .setRecurring(true)
   .setTrigger(Trigger.executionWindow(2, 10))
   .setRetryStrategy(RetryStrategy.DEFAULT_LINEAR)
   .setTag("location-update-job")
   .setLifetime(Lifetime.FOREVER)
   .setConstraints(Constraint.ON_ANY_NETWORK)
   .setRecurring(true)
   .build();

dispatcher.mustSchedule(myJob);

if you want remove .setRecurring(true), it is entered twice – MeLean Jul 27 '17 at 10:37 — MeLean, Jul 27 '17 at 10:37

when you use .setConstraints(Constraint.ON_ANY_NETWORK) the job will be executed when there is any type of network connection, You can choose between none, any and unmetered (Wifi), by default it's NONE so just delete the setConstraints

if the Internet is not available, and i have select Constraint.ON_ANY_NETWORK, will the job be executed? or it will be executed only when internet is available? – Nauman Ash Oct 26 '17 at 10:00
it will not be executed and once you are connected the first job will run – Oussema Aroua Oct 26 '17 at 10:02
