/**
 * This is an API for scheduling various types of jobs against the framework that will be executed
 * in your application's own process.
 * 
 * See {@link android.app.job.JobInfo} for more description of the types of jobs that can be run
 * and how to construct them. You will construct these JobInfo objects and pass them to the
 * JobScheduler with {@link #schedule(JobInfo)}. When the criteria declared are met, the
 * system will execute this job on your application's {@link android.app.job.JobService}.
 * You identify which JobService is meant to execute the logic for your job when you create the
 * JobInfo with
 * {@link android.app.job.JobInfo.Builder#JobInfo.Builder(int,android.content.ComponentName)}.
 * 
 * 
 * The framework will be intelligent about when you receive your callbacks, and attempt to batch
 * and defer them as much as possible. Typically if you don't specify a deadline on your job, it
 * can be run at any moment depending on the current state of the JobScheduler's internal queue,
 * however it might be deferred as long as until the next time the device is connected to a power
 * source.
 * 
 * You do not
 * instantiate this class directly; instead, retrieve it through
 * {@link android.content.Context#getSystemService
 * Context.getSystemService(Context.JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE)}.
