Android Question How to disable android cache ?

[little3399]

Hi,

Is there a way to disable then android cache ?

 

[Erel]

Which cache?

 

[little3399]

HTTPJOB data Cache ... because I found some data which received from SERVER will be stored in the cache .... and I want to disable cache so the data can be synchronous to the Server

 

[Erel]

There is no cache. Make sure that HttpJob.Success is True in JobDone.

Maybe off topic: How to clear cache? After sometime of using, my app is full of cached file in /data/data/package.name/cache

How are you retrieving the information?

GET or PUT? Put should get the current information whereas a GET will use cached information for instance.

I use the GET method , is there good way to avoid the app not use the cache data ? TKS!

 

[eps]

Use POST (sorry not PUT)

See here for more info : http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_httpmethods.asp

POST requests are never cached.

Hi, I was using httpjob.poststring method to receive data ...

 

[eps]

Can you post some code please, as it's a bit hard to work out what the issue is...

Something like :

    Dim DataUrl, DataPostString As String

    DataUrl = "http://www.url.com"

    DataPostString = "your_poststring_here"   

    Current_Filter = "ALL"

    Dim job As HttpJob


    'Send a POST request

    job.Initialize("Data Update", Me)

    job.PostString(DataUrl & DataPostString, Null)


    ProgressDialogShow2("Refreshing reference data...", False)
