android-parallel-intent-service

A multithreaded IntentService which can process requests in parallel and potentially keep multiple working queues.

Import

On your build.gradle add:

    dependencies {
        compile 'com.github.gmazzo:parallel-intent-service:0.4'
    }

Usage

public class SampleService extends MultiThreadedIntentService {

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(@NonNull Intent intent) {
        // TODO do something here
    }

}

And in your AndroidManifest.xml add:

    <service android:name=".SampleService" />

Provide a custom Executor

public class SampleService extends MultiThreadedIntentService {

    @NonNull
    @Override
    protected ExecutorService createExecutorFor(@Nullable Void queue, @NonNull Intent intent) {
        return Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
    }

}

Multiple queues sample

In this example, we have defined two abstract queues: default null and "myQueue". The queue comes as an extra in the Intent, but that's completly up to the user.

public class SampleService extends MultiQueuedIntentService {

    @Nullable
    @Override
    protected final String getQueueKeyFor(@NonNull Intent intent) {
        return intent.getStringExtra("queue");
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    protected ExecutorService createExecutorFor(@Nullable String queue, @NonNull Intent intent) {
        if ("myQueue".equals(queue)) {
            return Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
        }
        return Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
    }

}
