Android - loopj async task cancel
android, android-asynctask, web-services
Solution
Please look at this method of the `AsyncHttpClient` class method: cancelRequest().
You can cancel any pending (and interrupt if running) request associated with the `Context`. It means you have to pass a `Context` in your requests, otherwise they will be not cancelled.
Problem
I am using Android loopj Async Task for accessing data from server. I am trying to implement this on an autocompleteText view , ie when user types it will search in my database and listout the result in a ListView using adapter. All are working fine. But I need to cancel all previous requests when a new task run. ie if user type "che" then new AsyncHttpClient run and start web service, then user type "chem" then I need to cancel all previous / running AsyncHttpClients. I Any idea ? Here is my code ``` public void getValues(String movie){ AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient(); RequestParams webparams = new RequestParams(); webparams.put("fn", "searchMovies"); webparams.put("movie", movie); client.post(domain, webparams, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() { @Override public void onStart() { } @Override public void onSuccess(String response) { //dialog.dismiss(); try { JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(response); ... ... } catch {} @Override public void onFailure(Throwable e, String response) { Toast.makeText(SearchActivity.this,"Error Occured ! Please try again.",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); cd.goHome(SearchActivity.this); } }); } ```
