Check for running serial / id in BackgroundExecutor #979
Description
Activity
Android way to achieve this - just to cancel tasks by id without allowing
inturruption. And then - just add another one.Yeah that's what I used in some places, but here's a few limitations with this method :
- If the existing task with this
idhas the sameserialthan other ones, the order in which they'll get executed will change. I don't want that. - If the existing task with this
idis currently running, there's a few situations in which I want to let it finish normally and not add another one with the sameid.
In these cases I'd like to be able to "skip" the call I was about to do, and let the existing tasks as they are.
- If the existing task with this
It doesn't cost much and I think it should be helpful to many. I'm ok with this feature
Hi,
As explained here, I use
@Backgrounda lot in my app. I useserialandida lot too.It would be very nice to be able to check if a task has already been submitted with a given id or serial. That would allow to avoid stacking a new task if one is already pending / running. Methods could be:
BackgroundExecutor.hasSerialPending(serial)BackgroundExecutor.hasIdPending(serial)BackgroundExecutor.hasSerialRunning(serial)BackgroundExecutor.hasIdRunning(serial)What do you think?
