Whitelist an android application on android 6.0/Marshmallow

Whitelist wont disable doze mode for your app, however can use network and hold wake lock.

Whitelist an android application through code,

boolean isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations = pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(getPackageName());
if(!isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations){
  Intent intent = new Intent();
  intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
  intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
  startActivityForResult(intent, MY_IGNORE_OPTIMIZATION_REQUEST);
  }
             
             
Check for the result,

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == MY_IGNORE_OPTIMIZATION_REQUEST) {
         PowerManager pm = (PowerManager)getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
         boolean isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations = pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(getPackageName());
         if(isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations){
            // Ignoring battery optimization
         }else{
            // Not ignoring battery optimization
        }
    }
}

Difference between RecyclerView and Listview :- 1. RecyclerView forces to use RecyclerView.ViewHolder (Inbuilt view Holder) to hold the elements, to reuse the cells while scrolling, which was optional in Listview which we used to create in adapters getView() method. 2.
