Method Detail

isCancellationRequested

boolean isCancellationRequested()

Returns whether cancellation has been requested.

Returns:

true, if cancellation has already been requested, false if not.

throwIfCancellationRequested

void throwIfCancellationRequested()

Throws an exception in case isCancellationRequested() evaluates to true.

register

CancellationTokenRegistration register(Action<? extends RuntimeException> observer)

Registers a function that is invoked when cancellation is requested. The callback is invoked on the current AsyncScheduler. If a listener is added while already in a cancelled state, this listener is called immediately and synchronously.

Parameters:

observer - the action to invoke when cancellation is requested.

Returns:

an Observable that is invoked if cancellation is requested or immediately if already cancelled.

register

CancellationTokenRegistration register(Action<? extends RuntimeException> observer,
                                       boolean useScheduler)

Registers a function that is invoked when cancellation is requested. If a listener is added while already in a cancelled state, this listener is called immediately and synchronously.

Parameters:

observer - the action to invoke when cancellation is requested.

useScheduler - if set to true, the current AsyncScheduler is captured and used for invoking the callback.

Returns:

an Observable that is invoked if cancellation is requested or immediately if already cancelled.
