The APK I am finalizing and currently testing is designed to collect events entered by the user. In many cases, it serves as a delivery APK. All operations are conducted on the local database of the device, as internet access is not available everywhere, which means it functions primarily offline. The issue is that, to prevent the user from having to sync manually, it would require some feature to enable automatic synchronization.

What would be the suggestion to carry out this data synchronization recurrently, considering obstacles such as: the APK being minimized, the APK being closed, and the device being locked?

I have an application developed in Delphi for Android that works offline and manually synchronizes the information from the local database with the cloud database. However, I need a solution that performs this synchronization automatically at regular intervals. I’ve already researched extensively on the subject (such as Android Service, AlarmManager, PowerManager), but without success, as the available information is very vague. Additionally, I will also need to implement location monitoring at defined time intervals, saving the data to the local database and later sending it to the cloud. I need a practical example to implement these functionalities.
