Setting Request Priority Volley

Question

I am trying to set the priority of my requests using the Volley library in Android. I cant find out how to set the requests priority.

StringRequest request = new         


        

Answer 1

The library unfortunately isn't fully fleshed out yet. To set priority for a request you need to extend the request and override getPriority(). For your example I would create a new class that extends StringRequest and implements getPriority() (and maybe a setPriority() as well, so you can programmatically change priorities in different requests).

private Priority mPriority = Priority.LOW;

@Override
public Priority getPriority() {
    return mPriority;
}

public void setPriority(Priority priority) {
    mPriority = priority;
}

Priority is an ENUM from the Request class.
