Async calls are great and it seems all the calls using the Quickblox Android SDK are async allowing for easy implementation from the main ui thread.

but I need the ability to abort a call to the server as my calls are made by sync adapters and can be canceled or aborted in the middle of the process.

You can disable async calls in Android SDK - please look at Synchronous requests are available

And wrap this call on your own async task or something else.

Then you will be able to cancel queries

  • Thanks, I know about this option, but is it shouldn't be used for production products as per documentation, I would prefer to use the Async functionality with an abort signal. – user1934104 Jan 02 '13 at 16:18
  • No, if you a good skills developer - you can use this. Sync queries can produces ANR, so, be aware about this – Rubycon Jan 02 '13 at 16:54
  • Interesting, this still leaves me in the position that once the call is made I need to wait for the call to complete before I can abort it. My next question is what web client are you using to make the call (UrlConnection/ HttpDefaultClient)? – user1934104 Jan 02 '13 at 17:27
  • we are using DefaultHttpClient – Rubycon Jan 02 '13 at 19:25
  • We are going to add in next version opportunity to cancel queries. We are going to release new version of Android SDK during 2 next weeks – Rubycon Jan 08 '13 at 15:05

Android SDK 0.7 was released http://quickblox.com/blog/2013/01/android-sdk-0-7/

Now just use this code to cancel query:

QBRequestCanceler canceler =  QBUsers.getUser(37823232, new QBCallbackImpl() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(Result result) {
         if (result.isSuccess()) {
               QBUserResult qbUserResult = (QBUserResult) result;
               System.out.println(">>> User: " + qbUserResult.getUser().toString());
         } else {
               handleErrors(result);
         }
    }
});

...    

// cancel if need
canceler.cancel();
