robospice

I used RoboSpice library to do asynchronous tasks. From their examples, the spice service is declared in BaseActivity, it starts in activity's onStart method, and stops in activity's onStop. Everything is fine, but when I want download file from internet, and then I change to another activity, this download task is cancelled, because the spice service is stopped. It looks like: public abstract class BaseActivity{ /** The request manager. */ private SpiceManager requestManager = new SpiceManager(RequestService.class); @Override protected void onStart() { requestManager.start(this); super

I am Trying to understand RoboSpice Library in android I saw the online Documentation here What i tried :: I have previously studying on using Spring Library ,also Retrofit, AsyncHttp etc I understood that all above convert JSON response to POJO What i need more information :: When i see the documentation on Robospice it looks like a wrapper around either of Spring or Retrofit or AsyncHttp etc Is it true ? So by using RoboSpice can we select the underlying layer to be Spring or Retrofit or AsyncHttp etc So if that happens RoboSpice makes Spring or Retrofit or AsyncHttp etc as BoilerPlate code

I am writing an application that uses RoboSpice. In the request listener onRequestFailure( SpiceException arg0 ) is there a way to know for sure that the error was a result of a 401 HTTP Error occurred? I have a back end service, that returns a 401 error when a token expires, when that occurs I need to prompt the user to re-enter their credentials. Is there anyway to know that a 401 HTTP error specifically occurred? Below is an example of my request. public class LookupRequest extends SpringAndroidSpiceRequest <Product> { public String searchText; public String searchMode; public LookupRequest

I'm using RoboSpice with Spring for Android and would like to persist a JSON array of objects with OrmLite. GSON is used for the JSON marshalling. With the default caching everything works as expected. But OrmLite doesn't seem to like the array of objects. This is a simplified version of the JSON: [{"id": 1, "title": "Test 1"},{"id": 2, "title": "Test 3"},{"id": 3, "title": "Test 3"}] I would like to persist this in the following object: @DatabaseTable public class Foo { @DatabaseField(id = true) private int id; @DatabaseField private String title; // getters and setters ... } Based on the
