Code for connecting asynchronous Volley requests. What's important:
a) Call nextRequest () in the mJsonResp listener.
nextRequest () binds each link in the chain together and is called by the listener.
b) Member of mLinkedRequest.
c) An abstract function that needs to be redefined by getRequest ().
d) How to create ("use") HTTP requests for registration:
// 1) POST registrations -> 2) PATCH registrations -> 3) GET devices pkRequest ChainReg3 = new LinkedRequest(pkURL.devices, null ) { @Override public JSONObject getRequest( final JSONObject response ){ JSONObject retVal = new JSONObject(); retVal.put( "MyAwesomeString", "This is the final request string in the chain" ); return retVal; } } ; pkRequest ChainReg2 = new LinkedRequest(pkURL.registrations2, ChainReg3 ){ //pkRequest ChainReg2 = new pkRequest(pkURL.registrations2, null ){ @Override public JSONObject getRequest( final JSONObject response ){ JSONObject retVal = new JSONObject(); retVal.put( "MyAwesomeInt", 99 ); return retVal; }; JSONObject firstRequestBodyTest = new JSONObject( "test" ); pkRequest ChainReg1 = new LinkedRequest(pkURL.registrations, firstRequestBodyTest , ChainReg2 ){ @Override public JSONObject getRequest( final JSONObject response ){ return null; } }; ChainReg1.submit(); }
/ * FYI: I created an enumeration to work with all URLs. You can deal with them in some other way. The point of this post is to show how to combine asynchronous volleyball requests.
