UrlRequest

public abstract class UrlRequest
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.net.http.UrlRequest


Controls an HTTP request (GET, PUT, POST etc). Created by UrlRequest.Builder, which can be obtained by calling HttpEngine#newUrlRequestBuilder. Note: All methods must be called on the Executor passed to HttpEngine#newUrlRequestBuilder.

Summary

Nested classes

class UrlRequest.Builder

Builder for UrlRequests. 

class UrlRequest.Callback

Users of the HTTP stack extend this class to receive callbacks indicating the progress of a UrlRequest being processed. 

class UrlRequest.Status

Request status values returned by UrlRequest.getStatus(UrlRequest.StatusListener)

class UrlRequest.StatusListener

Listener class used with UrlRequest.getStatus(UrlRequest.StatusListener) to receive the status of a UrlRequest

Public methods

abstract void cancel()

Cancels the request.

abstract void followRedirect()

Follows a pending redirect.

abstract void getStatus(UrlRequest.StatusListener listener)

Queries the status of the request.

abstract boolean isDone()

Returns true if the request was successfully started and is now finished (completed, canceled, or failed).

abstract void read(ByteBuffer buffer)

Attempts to read part of the response body into the provided buffer.

abstract void start()

Starts the request, all callbacks go to Callback.

Inherited methods

Public methods

cancel

public abstract void cancel ()

Cancels the request. Can be called at any time. onCanceled() will be invoked when cancellation is complete and no further callback methods will be invoked. If the request has completed or has not started, calling cancel() has no effect and onCanceled() will not be invoked. If the Executor passed in during UrlRequest construction runs tasks on a single thread, and cancel() is called on that thread, no callback methods (besides onCanceled()) will be invoked after cancel() is called. Otherwise, at most one callback method may be invoked after cancel() has completed.

followRedirect

public abstract void followRedirect ()

Follows a pending redirect. Must only be called at most once for each invocation of onRedirectReceived().

getStatus

public abstract void getStatus (UrlRequest.StatusListener listener)

Queries the status of the request.

This is most useful to query the status of the request before any of the UrlRequest.Callback methods are called by Cronet.

The listener will be invoked back on the Executor passed in when the request was created. While you can assume the callback will be invoked in a timely fashion, the API doesn't make any guarantees about the latency, nor does it specify the order in which the listener and other callbacks will be invoked.

Parameters
listener UrlRequest.StatusListener: a StatusListener that will be invoked with the request's current status.

isDone

public abstract boolean isDone ()

Returns true if the request was successfully started and is now finished (completed, canceled, or failed).

Returns
boolean true if the request was successfully started and is now finished (completed, canceled, or failed).

read

public abstract void read (ByteBuffer buffer)

Attempts to read part of the response body into the provided buffer. Must only be called at most once in response to each invocation of the onResponseStarted() and onReadCompleted() methods of the Callback. Each call will result in an asynchronous call to either the Callback's onReadCompleted() method if data is read, its onSucceeded() method if there's no more data to read, or its onFailed() method if there's an error.

Parameters
buffer ByteBuffer: ByteBuffer to write response body to. Must be a direct ByteBuffer. The embedder must not read or modify buffer's position, limit, or data between its position and limit until the request calls back into the Callback.

start

public abstract void start ()

Starts the request, all callbacks go to Callback. May only be called once. May not be called if cancel() has been called.
