Impossible to interrupt a long-running media item upload #30
Description
Activity
Any chance this can be improved?
We are currently working on some major improvements to the upload flow in the client library - in particular around retries and error handling. This sounds like something that should be considered as well.
You can also configure a timeout for upload calls that cancels any in-progress requests.
(Ideally, calling
.cancel(..)on theApiFuturereturned by making a call through thePhotosLibraryClient#uploadMediaItemCallable()should interrupt and cancel the upload. This is something we are looking at improving.)The behaviour around this has been improved in the latest release (1.7.0): https://github.com/google/java-photoslibrary/releases/tag/v1.7.0
You should now be able to cancel (and interrupt) long running media uploads. Please file a new issue if you are having issues with this behaviour after upgrading to the latest version.
PhotosLibraryClient.uploadMediaItem()is blocking uninterruptibly until the upload is complete. In a UI app it means the user is unable to cancel the upload process without killing the app.Related to ylexus/jiotty-photos-uploader#23
