Method Detail

isConnectionInitiated

public boolean isConnectionInitiated()

Answers if the connection with the server is initialized.

Returns:

true if the network connection has been initialized, false otherwise.

Usage examples:

     <blue:call manager="NetworkManager" 
                method="isConnectionInitiated 
                toVariable="isInitialized"/>
 

remoteCall

public void remoteCall(Node remoteNode,
                       ByteArray... arguments)

Invokes a remote call to the server. Any content returned from the server will be queued for procesing with ProcessingManager.

Parameters:

remoteNode - node to communicate with

arguments - ByteArray type arguments to transfer to the server

Usage examples:

This method can be invoked explicitly, like any other Bluelemon method:

     <blue:call manager="NetworkManager" method="remoteCall">
       <blue:argument type="node" location="network"
                      name="com/emarson/bluelemon/example"/>
       <blue:argument type="variable" name="byteArrVar"/>
       <blue:argument type="String" name="string"/>
       <blue:argument type="int" name="6"/>
     </blue:call>
 

However, in most cases it is more convenient to use the equivalent <call node='...' location='...'> syntax:

     <blue:call node="com/emarson/bluelemon/example"
                     location="network">
       <blue:argument type="variable" name="byteArrVar"/>
       <blue:argument type="String" name="string"/>
       <blue:argument type="int" name="6"/>
     </blue:call>
 

setGaugeToSynchronizeWith

public void setGaugeToSynchronizeWith(Gauge gauge)

The Gauge object set with this method will be used by the NetworkManager to report the progress of downloading data from the server.

Parameters:

gauge - the Gauge object to use for showing the progress of downloading the data

Usage examples:

     <blue:call manager="NetworkManager" 
                method="setGaugeToSynchronizeWith">
       <blue:argument type="variable" name="gauge"/>
     </blue:call>
 

stopDownloading

public void stopDownloading()

Forces the network connection to close.

Usage examples:

     <blue:call manager="NetworkManager" 
                method="stopDownloading"/>
