Class PollingDataSourceBuilder

java.lang.Object

com.launchdarkly.sdk.android.integrations.PollingDataSourceBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ComponentConfigurer<DataSource>

public abstract class PollingDataSourceBuilder
extends Object
implements ComponentConfigurer<DataSource>

Contains methods for configuring the polling data source.

Polling is not the default behavior; by default, the SDK uses a streaming connection to receive feature flag data from LaunchDarkly whenever the application is in the foreground. In polling mode, the SDK instead makes a new HTTP request to LaunchDarkly at regular intervals. HTTP caching allows it to avoid redundantly downloading data if there have been no changes, but polling is still less efficient than streaming and should only be used on the advice of LaunchDarkly support.

To use polling mode, create a builder with Components.pollingDataSource(), set any custom options if desired with the methods of this class, and pass it to LDConfig.Builder.dataSource(ComponentConfigurer):

     LDConfig config = new LDConfig.Builder()
         .dataSource(Components.pollingDataSource().pollIntervalMillis(30000))
         .build();
 

Note that this class is abstract; the actual implementation is created by calling Components.pollingDataSource().

3.3.0

public PollingDataSourceBuilder()

Method Details

backgroundPollIntervalMillis

public PollingDataSourceBuilder backgroundPollIntervalMillis(int backgroundPollIntervalMillis)

Sets the interval between feature flag updates when the application is running in the background.

This is normally a longer interval than the foreground polling interval (pollIntervalMillis(int)). It is ignored if you have turned off background polling entirely by setting LDConfig.Builder.disableBackgroundUpdating(boolean).

The default value is LDConfig.DEFAULT_BACKGROUND_POLL_INTERVAL_MILLIS; the minimum is LDConfig.MIN_BACKGROUND_POLL_INTERVAL_MILLIS.

Parameters:

backgroundPollIntervalMillis - the background polling interval in milliseconds

Returns:

the builder

See Also:

• pollIntervalMillis(int)

pollIntervalMillis

public PollingDataSourceBuilder pollIntervalMillis(int pollIntervalMillis)

Sets the interval between feature flag updates when the application is running in the foreground.

The default value is DEFAULT_POLL_INTERVAL_MILLIS. That is also the minimum value.

Parameters:

pollIntervalMillis - the reconnect time base value in milliseconds

Returns:

the builder
