  AccountManagerFuture
  
  
  
| android.accounts.AccountManagerFuture<V> | 
A AccountManagerFuture represents the result of an asynchronous
 AccountManager call.  Methods are provided to check if the computation is
 complete, to wait for its completion, and to retrieve the result of
 the computation.  The result can only be retrieved using method
 get when the computation has completed, blocking if
 necessary until it is ready.  Cancellation is performed by the
 cancel method.  Additional methods are provided to
 determine if the task completed normally or was cancelled. Once a
 computation has completed, the computation cannot be cancelled.
 If you would like to use a Future for the sake
 of cancellability but not provide a usable result, you can
 declare types of the form Future<?> and
 return null as a result of the underlying task.

Public methods
cancel
public abstract boolean cancel (boolean mayInterruptIfRunning)
Attempts to cancel execution of this task. This attempt will fail if the task has already completed, has already been cancelled, or could not be cancelled for some other reason. If successful, and this task has not started when cancel is called, this task should never run. If the task has already started, then the mayInterruptIfRunning parameter determines whether the thread executing this task should be interrupted in an attempt to stop the task.
After this method returns, subsequent calls to isDone() will
 always return true.  Subsequent calls to isCancelled()
 will always return true if this method returned true.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| mayInterruptIfRunning | boolean: true if the thread executing this
 task should be interrupted; otherwise, in-progress tasks are allowed
 to complete | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | false if the task could not be cancelled, typically because it has already completed normally; true otherwise | 
getResult
public abstract V getResult ()
Accessor for the future result the AccountManagerFuture represents. This
 call will block until the result is available. In order to check if the result is
 available without blocking, one may call isDone() and  isCancelled().
 If the request that generated this result fails or is canceled then an exception
 will be thrown rather than the call returning normally.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| V | the actual result | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| OperationCanceledException | if the request was canceled for any reason (including if it is forbidden by policy to modify an account (of that type)) | 
| AuthenticatorException | if there was an error communicating with the authenticator or if the authenticator returned an invalid response | 
| IOException | if the authenticator returned an error response that indicates that it encountered an IOException while communicating with the authentication server | 
getResult
public abstract V getResult (long timeout, 
                TimeUnit unit)Accessor for the future result the AccountManagerFuture represents. This
 call will block until the result is available. In order to check if the result is
 available without blocking, one may call isDone() and  isCancelled().
 If the request that generated this result fails or is canceled then an exception
 will be thrown rather than the call returning normally. If a timeout is specified then
 the request will automatically be canceled if it does not complete in that amount of time.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| timeout | long: the maximum time to wait | 
| unit | TimeUnit: the time unit of the timeout argument. This must not be null. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| V | the actual result | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| OperationCanceledException | if the request was canceled for any reason | 
| AuthenticatorException | if there was an error communicating with the authenticator or if the authenticator returned an invalid response | 
| IOException | if the authenticator returned an error response that indicates that it encountered an IOException while communicating with the authentication server | 
isCancelled
public abstract boolean isCancelled ()
Returns true if this task was cancelled before it completed normally.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if this task was cancelled before it completed | 
isDone
public abstract boolean isDone ()
Returns true if this task completed. Completion may be due to normal termination, an exception, or cancellation -- in all of these cases, this method will return true.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if this task completed |
