Detailed Description

Member Function Documentation

stop()

void ditto::AttachmentFetcher::stop

(

)

Stops fetching the fetcher's associated attachment and cleans up any associated resources.

Note that you are not required to call stop once your attachment fetch operation has finished. The method primarily exists to allow you to cancel an attachment fetch request while it is ongoing if you no longer wish for the attachment to be made available locally to the device.

Nilling out any reference(s) you have to the attachment fetcher will also lead to the attachment fetch operation being stopped.
