Loader

public class Loader extends Object
Static library support version of the framework's {@link android.content.Loader}. Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework SDK documentation for a class overview.

Fields Summary
int
mId
OnLoadCompleteListener
mListener
android.content.Context
mContext
boolean
mStarted
boolean
mAbandoned
boolean
mReset

mContentChanged
boolean
mProcessingChange
Constructors Summary
public Loader(android.content.Context context)
Stores away the application context associated with context. Since Loaders can be used across multiple activities it's dangerous to store the context directly.

param
context used to retrieve the application context.

        mContext = context.getApplicationContext();
    
Methods Summary
public voidabandon()
Tell the Loader that it is being abandoned. This is called prior to {@link #reset} to have it retain its current data but not report any new data.

        mAbandoned = true;
        onAbandon();
    
public voidcommitContentChanged()
Commit that you have actually fully processed a content change that was returned by {@link #takeContentChanged}. This is for use with {@link #rollbackContentChanged()} to handle situations where a load is cancelled. Call this when you have completely processed a load without it being cancelled.

        mProcessingChange = false;
    
public java.lang.StringdataToString(D data)
For debugging, converts an instance of the Loader's data class to a string that can be printed. Must handle a null data.

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(64);
        DebugUtils.buildShortClassTag(data, sb);
        sb.append("}");
        return sb.toString();
    
public voiddeliverResult(D data)
Sends the result of the load to the registered listener. Should only be called by subclasses. Must be called from the process's main thread.

param
data the result of the load

        if (mListener != null) {
            mListener.onLoadComplete(this, data);
        }
    
public voiddump(java.lang.String prefix, java.io.FileDescriptor fd, java.io.PrintWriter writer, java.lang.String[] args)
Print the Loader's state into the given stream.

param
prefix Text to print at the front of each line.
param
fd The raw file descriptor that the dump is being sent to.
param
writer A PrintWriter to which the dump is to be set.
param
args Additional arguments to the dump request.

        writer.print(prefix); writer.print("mId="); writer.print(mId);
                writer.print(" mListener="); writer.println(mListener);
        if (mStarted || mContentChanged || mProcessingChange) {
            writer.print(prefix); writer.print("mStarted="); writer.print(mStarted);
                    writer.print(" mContentChanged="); writer.print(mContentChanged);
                    writer.print(" mProcessingChange="); writer.println(mProcessingChange);
        }
        if (mAbandoned || mReset) {
            writer.print(prefix); writer.print("mAbandoned="); writer.print(mAbandoned);
                    writer.print(" mReset="); writer.println(mReset);
        }
    
public voidforceLoad()
Force an asynchronous load. Unlike {@link #startLoading()} this will ignore a previously loaded data set and load a new one. This simply calls through to the implementation's {@link #onForceLoad()}. You generally should only call this when the loader is started -- that is, {@link #isStarted()} returns true.

Must be called from the process's main thread.

        onForceLoad();
    
public android.content.ContextgetContext()

return
an application context retrieved from the Context passed to the constructor.

        return mContext;
    
public intgetId()

return
the ID of this loader

        return mId;
    
public booleanisAbandoned()
Return whether this loader has been abandoned. In this state, the loader must not report any new data, and must keep its last reported data valid until it is finally reset.

        return mAbandoned;
    
public booleanisReset()
Return whether this load has been reset. That is, either the loader has not yet been started for the first time, or its {@link #reset()} has been called.

        return mReset;
    
public booleanisStarted()
Return whether this load has been started. That is, its {@link #startLoading()} has been called and no calls to {@link #stopLoading()} or {@link #reset()} have yet been made.

        return mStarted;
    
protected voidonAbandon()
Subclasses implement this to take care of being abandoned. This is an optional intermediate state prior to {@link #onReset()} -- it means that the client is no longer interested in any new data from the loader, so the loader must not report any further updates. However, the loader must keep its last reported data valid until the final {@link #onReset()} happens. You can retrieve the current abandoned state with {@link #isAbandoned}.

        
    
public voidonContentChanged()
Called when {@link ForceLoadContentObserver} detects a change. The default implementation checks to see if the loader is currently started; if so, it simply calls {@link #forceLoad()}; otherwise, it sets a flag so that {@link #takeContentChanged()} returns true.

Must be called from the process's main thread.

        if (mStarted) {
            forceLoad();
        } else {
            // This loader has been stopped, so we don't want to load
            // new data right now...  but keep track of it changing to
            // refresh later if we start again.
            mContentChanged = true;
        }
    
protected voidonForceLoad()
Subclasses must implement this to take care of requests to {@link #forceLoad()}. This will always be called from the process's main thread.

    
protected voidonReset()
Subclasses must implement this to take care of resetting their loader, as per {@link #reset()}. This is not called by clients directly, but as a result of a call to {@link #reset()}. This will always be called from the process's main thread.

    
protected voidonStartLoading()
Subclasses must implement this to take care of loading their data, as per {@link #startLoading()}. This is not called by clients directly, but as a result of a call to {@link #startLoading()}.

    
protected voidonStopLoading()
Subclasses must implement this to take care of stopping their loader, as per {@link #stopLoading()}. This is not called by clients directly, but as a result of a call to {@link #stopLoading()}. This will always be called from the process's main thread.

    
public voidregisterListener(int id, android.support.v4.content.Loader$OnLoadCompleteListener listener)
Registers a class that will receive callbacks when a load is complete. The callback will be called on the process's main thread so it's safe to pass the results to widgets.

Must be called from the process's main thread.

        if (mListener != null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("There is already a listener registered");
        }
        mListener = listener;
        mId = id;
    
public voidreset()
Resets the state of the Loader. The Loader should at this point free all of its resources, since it may never be called again; however, its {@link #startLoading()} may later be called at which point it must be able to start running again.

This updates the Loader's internal state so that {@link #isStarted()} and {@link #isReset()} will return the correct values, and then calls the implementation's {@link #onReset()}.

Must be called from the process's main thread.

        onReset();
        mReset = true;
        mStarted = false;
        mAbandoned = false;
        mContentChanged = false;
        mProcessingChange = false;
    
public voidrollbackContentChanged()
Report that you have abandoned the processing of a content change that was returned by {@link #takeContentChanged()} and would like to rollback to the state where there is again a pending content change. This is to handle the case where a data load due to a content change has been canceled before its data was delivered back to the loader.

        if (mProcessingChange) {
            mContentChanged = true;
        }
    
public final voidstartLoading()
Starts an asynchronous load of the Loader's data. When the result is ready the callbacks will be called on the process's main thread. If a previous load has been completed and is still valid the result may be passed to the callbacks immediately. The loader will monitor the source of the data set and may deliver future callbacks if the source changes. Calling {@link #stopLoading} will stop the delivery of callbacks.

This updates the Loader's internal state so that {@link #isStarted()} and {@link #isReset()} will return the correct values, and then calls the implementation's {@link #onStartLoading()}.

Must be called from the process's main thread.

        mStarted = true;
        mReset = false;
        mAbandoned = false;
        onStartLoading();
    
public voidstopLoading()
Stops delivery of updates until the next time {@link #startLoading()} is called. Implementations should not invalidate their data at this point -- clients are still free to use the last data the loader reported. They will, however, typically stop reporting new data if the data changes; they can still monitor for changes, but must not report them to the client until and if {@link #startLoading()} is later called.

This updates the Loader's internal state so that {@link #isStarted()} will return the correct value, and then calls the implementation's {@link #onStopLoading()}.

Must be called from the process's main thread.

        mStarted = false;
        onStopLoading();
    
public booleantakeContentChanged()
Take the current flag indicating whether the loader's content had changed while it was stopped. If it had, true is returned and the flag is cleared.

        boolean res = mContentChanged;
        mContentChanged = false;
        mProcessingChange |= res;
        return res;
    
public java.lang.StringtoString()

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(64);
        DebugUtils.buildShortClassTag(this, sb);
        sb.append(" id=");
        sb.append(mId);
        sb.append("}");
        return sb.toString();
    
public voidunregisterListener(android.support.v4.content.Loader$OnLoadCompleteListener listener)
Remove a listener that was previously added with {@link #registerListener}. Must be called from the process's main thread.

        if (mListener == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("No listener register");
        }
        if (mListener != listener) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Attempting to unregister the wrong listener");
        }
        mListener = null;
