Question: Is it possible to send a HTTP request once an upload task finishes? about android-upload-service HOT 5 CLOSED

In your case you are not uploading anything to your server (if I uderstood correctly), you simply signal it's all good, so it's a regular HTTP request. What I mention in the docs is that you can't perform another file upload while in the background. OkHttp/Retrofit is another set of libraries with their own lifecycle. The ones I recommend for regular network calls on Android. You just trigger the call once the upload is successful.

Just as a feedback to other users: This approach worked well. The app is able to send POST requests after an upload finishes, and I am using the GlobalOberver @gotev recommended for this. Awesome.

You can perform the upload with Upload Service on S3 and use a GlobalRequestObserver calling your own server via a regular OkHttp/Retrofit network call in onSuccess.

Ok, thank you so much for the fast response. And just to confirm: This OkHttp call will succeed then? I am asking because your docs state that another upload cannot be triggered in the background. So I was wondering if a GET is prevented as well.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Will try it out!
