A doubt about shutdown function

[simpleton]

How could I reuse Picasso? The lib only supplied shut down function.

If shutdown means destroy the module, why not set instance to null?

How could I use this function

It's only use is if you are creating scoped Picasso instances and then
throwing them away. It should be a rare occasion that someone would use
this function.

It will also shutdown all the threads used by Picasso.

You can keep your reference as long as you want or if you want to clear out images from memory cache to free memory then shutdown is a good use case.

For example, user A signs in and uses Picasso to download 50 images, signs out and then user B signs in. Perhaps shutting down makes sense then.

But default singleton wouldn't be shutdown. It makes me confused.

 /** Stops this instance from accepting further requests. */
 public void shutdown() {
   if (this == singleton) {
   throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Default singleton instance cannot be shutdown.");
 }
 if (shutdown) {
   return;
 }

Correct. Don't ever shutdown the singleton version.
