RoboSpice overview

Progress and RoboSpice

On this demo activity, you can observe the progress of the RoboSpice job. RoboSpice provides a nice framework to get notified of progress.

Monitoring RoboSpice requests

On this demo activity, you can observe the progress of the RoboSpice job inside the activity and also via the notification bar. The notification bar is updated via a custom Android Service (not the SpiceService). This demonstrates that all kind of contexts can use RoboSpice Service, an activity, a service, an application, a fragment... they all can be aware of requests processing.

Canceling the request

RoboSpice requests can be cancelled easily and this applies to this example as well. RoboSpice basic request classes offer a good IO support and downloads can be interrupted. This doesn't apply to rest requests sent via Spring Android.


We provide additional examples of RoboSpice capabilities in the next Activities...
