Hello, I am hoping this is the active forum - I haven't seen much activity in a while. I have a question arount Tasks/TaskServices... Someone mentioned that I could have Foreground and Background Tasks... I am just wondering how does one distinguish between both using the build in SAF Task/TaskService ? - Is there something pre-existing or is it just by implementing your own TaskServices ? Would an @Action be considered a foreground task etc.. Thanks in advance -A- |

| You are correct. There's nothing really 'foreground' or 'background' in SAF - it's all just convention, how the input blocker gets created and what type of progress/status is displayed. In our application, I have several background task services that tie into status bars, etc... - but don't have input blockers associated with them. So these are, really, my background tasks. We then use the tasks returned by @Action methods to drive input blockers, etc... so I would consider those to be foreground tasks. |

thanks... i did a bit more digging and am using the same approach.. my @Actions should be like: @Action(taskService = “foregroundTaskService”) however I see in the docs that that should be possible but @Action does not have (taskService = anymore ??? As for the TaskServices I simply created my own TaskService with a custom ExecutorService and then manually added it to the app context: getContext().addTaskService(foregroundTaskService); So the background taskServices are configured with a "pool" and the foregound just allow 1 task at a time Does this seem ok ? Thanks! |
