Android Question Get all jobs in memory to cancel downloads

[wimpie3]

I have a lot of subs launching downloads with OkHTTPUtils2, like this:

Dim httpjob As HttpJob
httpjob.Initialize("getImage", Me)
httpjob.GetRequest.Timeout = 5000
httpjob.Download(fileURL)

I don't have a global dim'med HttpJob, but I create a new one for every request.

My question is: how do I cancel all those downloads at once? I don't have a reference to them anymore as they are all individually dimmed inside subs.

Can I loop over all objects in memory somehow, look if they are of the type "httpjob" and cancel the downloads?

You can keep a reference to these objects adding them to a list/map when you create them

Good idea, but I imagine there must be another way? In VB you can loop over all elements, check what type they are, etc...

Note the changed bas files. this allows you to stop a download job

As far as I can see, each download job should have a different name in that lib. That's not what I'm looking for.

The name is not important. See how CancelDownload(url As String) is implemented. You can modify it to cancel all the jobs.
