# Prefetch Scheduling Trace Analysis |
|||
|
|||
**Analysis Date**: October 27, 2025 - 12:18:37 UTC |
|||
**Author**: Matthew Raymer |
|||
**Status**: Investigation Complete |
|||
|
|||
## Summary |
|||
|
|||
This document traces how prefetch scheduling works solo and in conjunction with notification schedules. Investigation reveals that **prefetch schedules ARE being set**, but there may be issues with logging visibility and execution. |
|||
|
|||
## Code Flow Analysis |
|||
|
|||
### 1. Notification Scheduling Flow |
|||
|
|||
When a user schedules a notification via the plugin: |
|||
|
|||
``` |
|||
DailyNotificationPlugin.scheduleDailyNotification() |
|||
↓ |
|||
DailyNotificationScheduler.scheduleNotification() |
|||
↓ |
|||
Plugin.scheduleBackgroundFetch(content.getScheduledTime()) |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
**Location**: `android/plugin/src/main/java/com/timesafari/dailynotification/DailyNotificationPlugin.java:658` |
|||
|
|||
### 2. Prefetch Scheduling Flow |
|||
|
|||
The `scheduleBackgroundFetch` method calculates the fetch time: |
|||
|
|||
```java |
|||
private void scheduleBackgroundFetch(long scheduledTime) { |
|||
try { |
|||
Log.d(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_START time=" + scheduledTime); |
|||
|
|||
// Schedule fetch 5 minutes before notification |
|||
long fetchTime = scheduledTime - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(5); |
|||
|
|||
if (fetchTime > System.currentTimeMillis()) { |
|||
Log.d(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_CALC fetch_at=" + fetchTime + " notification_at=" + scheduledTime); |
|||
fetcher.scheduleFetch(fetchTime); |
|||
Log.i(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_OK Background fetch scheduled for " + fetchTime + " (5 minutes before notification at " + scheduledTime + ")"); |
|||
} else { |
|||
Log.w(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_PAST fetch_time=" + fetchTime + " current=" + System.currentTimeMillis()); |
|||
} |
|||
} catch (Exception e) { |
|||
Log.e(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_ERR Error scheduling background fetch", e); |
|||
} |
|||
} |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
**Location**: `DailyNotificationPlugin.java:961-978` |
|||
|
|||
### 3. WorkManager Enqueuing |
|||
|
|||
The `fetcher.scheduleFetch()` method creates a WorkManager request: |
|||
|
|||
```java |
|||
public void scheduleFetch(long scheduledTime) { |
|||
try { |
|||
Log.d(TAG, "Scheduling background fetch for " + scheduledTime); |
|||
|
|||
// Calculate fetch time (5 minutes before notification) |
|||
long fetchTime = scheduledTime - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(5); |
|||
|
|||
if (fetchTime > System.currentTimeMillis()) { |
|||
// Create work data |
|||
Data inputData = new Data.Builder() |
|||
.putLong("scheduled_time", scheduledTime) |
|||
.putLong("fetch_time", fetchTime) |
|||
.putInt("retry_count", 0) |
|||
.build(); |
|||
|
|||
// Create one-time work request |
|||
OneTimeWorkRequest fetchWork = new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder( |
|||
DailyNotificationFetchWorker.class) |
|||
.setInputData(inputData) |
|||
.addTag(WORK_TAG_FETCH) |
|||
.setInitialDelay(fetchTime - System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) |
|||
.build(); |
|||
|
|||
// Enqueue the work |
|||
workManager.enqueue(fetchWork); |
|||
|
|||
Log.i(TAG, "Background fetch scheduled successfully"); |
|||
|
|||
} else { |
|||
Log.w(TAG, "Fetch time has already passed, scheduling immediate fetch"); |
|||
scheduleImmediateFetch(); |
|||
} |
|||
|
|||
} catch (Exception e) { |
|||
Log.e(TAG, "Error scheduling background fetch", e); |
|||
// Fallback to immediate fetch |
|||
scheduleImmediateFetch(); |
|||
} |
|||
} |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
**Location**: `DailyNotificationFetcher.java:77-115` |
|||
|
|||
## Key Findings |
|||
|
|||
### ✅ Prefetch Scheduling IS Implemented |
|||
|
|||
The code shows that: |
|||
|
|||
1. **When a notification is scheduled**, `scheduleBackgroundFetch()` is called **if scheduling succeeds** |
|||
2. **The prefetch time is calculated**: `fetchTime = scheduledTime - 5 minutes` |
|||
3. **WorkManager work is enqueued** with the calculated delay |
|||
4. **Logs ARE generated** at several points |
|||
|
|||
### ⚠️ Potential Issues |
|||
|
|||
1. **Logging Visibility** |
|||
- Logs may not be visible if: |
|||
- The app is closed (logs go to system logcat) |
|||
- Filters are not capturing the right tags |
|||
- Log level is not set correctly |
|||
|
|||
2. **Conditional Logging** |
|||
- The `scheduleBackgroundFetch` is only called when `scheduled == true` |
|||
- If notification scheduling fails, no prefetch is scheduled |
|||
- This is at line 655-666 in `DailyNotificationPlugin.java` |
|||
|
|||
3. **Timing Issues** |
|||
- If `fetchTime` is in the past, it schedules immediate fetch |
|||
- This might cause confusion if timing calculations are wrong |
|||
|
|||
## Expected Log Sequence |
|||
|
|||
When properly scheduling a notification: |
|||
|
|||
``` |
|||
DN|SCHEDULE_CALLBACK scheduled=true, calling scheduleBackgroundFetch |
|||
DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_START time=<scheduledTime> |
|||
DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_CALC fetch_at=<fetchTime> notification_at=<scheduledTime> |
|||
Scheduling background fetch for <scheduledTime> |
|||
Background fetch scheduled successfully |
|||
DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_OK Background fetch scheduled for <fetchTime> (5 minutes before notification at <scheduledTime>) |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
## How to Debug |
|||
|
|||
### 1. Check if Prefetch is Being Scheduled |
|||
|
|||
Look for these log tags in logcat: |
|||
|
|||
```bash |
|||
adb logcat | grep -E "DN\|SCHEDULE_FETCH|DailyNotificationFetcher" |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
Expected logs: |
|||
- `DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_START` |
|||
- `DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_CALC` |
|||
- `DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_OK` |
|||
- `Scheduling background fetch for` |
|||
|
|||
### 2. Check WorkManager Queue |
|||
|
|||
Verify that work is actually enqueued: |
|||
|
|||
```bash |
|||
adb shell dumpsys job scheduler | grep -A 5 "daily_notification_fetch" |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
### 3. Check if Notification Scheduling Succeeded |
|||
|
|||
Verify the notification scheduling succeeded (this is a prerequisite): |
|||
|
|||
```bash |
|||
adb logcat | grep "DN|SCHEDULE" |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
Look for: |
|||
- `DN|SCHEDULE_CALLBACK scheduled=true` - **Good**, prefetch will be scheduled |
|||
- `DN|SCHEDULE_CALLBACK scheduled=false` - **Bad**, prefetch will NOT be scheduled |
|||
|
|||
### 4. Check AlarmManager Schedule |
|||
|
|||
Verify the actual alarm is set: |
|||
|
|||
```bash |
|||
adb shell dumpsys alarm | grep -i "dailynotification" |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
## Investigation Checklist |
|||
|
|||
To diagnose why prefetch logs aren't appearing: |
|||
|
|||
- [ ] Check if notification scheduling is succeeding (look for `DN|SCHEDULE_CALLBACK scheduled=true`) |
|||
- [ ] Check if `scheduleBackgroundFetch` is being called (look for `DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_START`) |
|||
- [ ] Check if fetch time calculation is correct (look for `DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_CALC`) |
|||
- [ ] Check if WorkManager is enqueuing the work (look for "Background fetch scheduled successfully") |
|||
- [ ] Check if fetch time is in the past (look for "Fetch time has already passed") |
|||
- [ ] Check WorkManager queue status via `dumpsys job scheduler` |
|||
- [ ] Check for any exceptions (look for "DN|SCHEDULE_FETCH_ERR" or "Error scheduling background fetch") |
|||
|
|||
## Recommendations |
|||
|
|||
### 1. Add More Diagnostic Logging |
|||
|
|||
Add logs at critical decision points: |
|||
|
|||
```java |
|||
// In scheduleDailyNotification, after scheduler.scheduleNotification() |
|||
if (scheduled) { |
|||
Log.i(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_CALLBACK scheduled=true, calling scheduleBackgroundFetch"); |
|||
Log.d(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_CALLBACK content.getScheduledTime()=" + content.getScheduledTime()); |
|||
scheduleBackgroundFetch(content.getScheduledTime()); |
|||
} else { |
|||
Log.w(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_CALLBACK scheduled=false, NOT calling scheduleBackgroundFetch"); |
|||
} |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
### 2. Add WorkManager Status Logging |
|||
|
|||
Add a log after enqueuing to verify: |
|||
|
|||
```java |
|||
workManager.enqueue(fetchWork); |
|||
Log.i(TAG, "DN|SCHEDULE_WORK_ENQUEUED work_id=" + fetchWork.getId() + |
|||
" fetch_at=" + fetchTime + " delay_ms=" + (fetchTime - System.currentTimeMillis())); |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
### 3. Add User-Zero Specific Logging |
|||
|
|||
For stars querying, add specific event IDs: |
|||
|
|||
```java |
|||
Log.i(TAG, "EVT_PREFETCH_SCHEDULED time=" + fetchTime + " stars_query=true"); |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
## Next Steps |
|||
|
|||
1. **Capture logcat** during notification scheduling |
|||
2. **Search for specific log prefixes** documented above |
|||
3. **Check WorkManager queue** to verify work is enqueued |
|||
4. **Add diagnostic logging** if needed |
|||
5. **Test with actual notification scheduling** to see full flow |
|||
|
|||
## Conclusion |
|||
|
|||
The prefetch scheduling **IS implemented** in the codebase. The issue is likely one of: |
|||
|
|||
- Logging visibility (logs not being captured) |
|||
- Timing issues (fetch time in past) |
|||
- Notification scheduling failure (prefetch not called) |
|||
- WorkManager not executing (system-level issue) |
|||
|
|||
The infrastructure is there, but we need to verify the execution path. |
