I am using JobScheduler to run the job every 15 mins. But It is not working as expected. Here I attached my code.

public class WorkScheduler extends JobService {

    private static final String TAG = "Jobschedulerexample";
    private boolean jobCanceled = false;
    private SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

    @Override
    public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters jobParameters) {

        Log.d(TAG,"Started at ==> "+ sdf.format(new Date()));
        Log.d(TAG,"Job Started");
        doBackgroundWork(jobParameters);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters jobParameters) {

        Log.d(TAG, "Job cancelled before completion");
        jobCanceled = true;
        return true;
    }

    private void doBackgroundWork(final JobParameters params) {
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

                for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "run: " + i);
                    if (jobCanceled) {
                        return;
                    }

                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }

                Log.d(TAG, "Job finished");
                Log.d(TAG,"Ended at ==> "+ sdf.format(new Date()));
                jobFinished(params, true);
            }
        }).start();
    }
}

My utility class for Job service

public class WorkSchedulerUtility {

    private static final int JOB_ID = 123;
    private static WorkSchedulerUtility mInstance;
    private final int REFRESH_INTERVAL = 15 * 60 * 1000;

    private WorkSchedulerUtility(){

    }

    public static WorkSchedulerUtility getInstance(){
        if(mInstance == null){
            mInstance = new WorkSchedulerUtility();
        }
        return mInstance;
    }

    private static final String TAG = "Jobschedulerexample";

    public void scheduleJob(Context context) {
        ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context, WorkScheduler.class);

       /* JobInfo info = new JobInfo.Builder(JOB_ID, componentName)
                .setPersisted(true)
                .setPeriodic(REFRESH_INTERVAL)
                .build();*/

        JobInfo info = new JobInfo.Builder(JOB_ID, componentName)
                .setPersisted(true)
                .setBackoffCriteria(REFRESH_INTERVAL, JobInfo.BACKOFF_POLICY_LINEAR)
                .setMinimumLatency(1000 * 6)
                .build();

        JobScheduler scheduler = (JobScheduler) context.getSystemService(JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE);
        int resultCode = scheduler.schedule(info);
        if (resultCode == JobScheduler.RESULT_SUCCESS) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Job scheduled");
        } else {
            Log.d(TAG, "Job scheduling failed");
        }
    }

    public void cancelJob(Context context) {
        JobScheduler scheduler = (JobScheduler) context.getSystemService(JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE);
        scheduler.cancel(123);
        Log.d(TAG, "Job cancelled");
    }

}

I planned to run the job for every 15 mins. But it is not start job every 15 mins. I will attach the output.

Started at ==> 15:10:49 Ended at ==> 15:10:59 Started at ==> 15:25:59 Ended at ==> 15:26:09 Started at ==> 15:56:10 Ended at ==> 15:56:20 Started at ==> 16:41:44 Ended at ==> 16:41:54

I don't know why it is not working for every 15 mins. And also I want to start the job at specific time. For example every day at 8o'Clock. How to achive that using JobSceduler.

JobScheduler is not guaranteed to run your job every 15 minutes, but when it sees fit. See this answer.
