I'm trying to use HttpResponseCache to cache network data, but when I put install cache code to OnCreate and OnPause methods, app crashes. I used code from HttpResponseCache documentation. and compile errors appear as shown below. after using
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
to solve errors it disappear then, I run app but still crashes. when I remove that code it returns to it's normal behavior.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
try {
File httpCacheDir = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "http");
long httpCacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
HttpResponseCache.install(httpCacheDir, httpCacheSize); //error
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i(TAG, "HTTP response cache installation failed:" + e);
}
}
protected void onStop() {
...
HttpResponseCache cache = HttpResponseCache.getInstalled();//error
if (cache != null) {
cache.flush();//error
}
}}
I'm a beginner learner so I'll be grateful if anyone can help. here's MainActivity code
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private MovieAdapter movieAdapter;
private Context context;
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// ------ caching data ------------------
try {
File httpCacheDir = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "http");
long httpCacheSize = 2 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
HttpResponseCache.install(httpCacheDir, httpCacheSize); //error
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i("caching failed", "HTTP response cache installation failed:" + e);
}
//-----------------------
DataSyncTask dataSyncTask = new DataSyncTask();
dataSyncTask.execute();

According to HttpResponseCache Docs:
Enable caching of all of your application's HTTP requests by installing the cache at application startup.
So you should use as the following:
MyApplication.java:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
private final Context mContext = this;
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// Install the cache
try {
File httpCacheDir = new File(mContext.getCacheDir(), "http");
long httpCacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
HttpResponseCache.install(httpCacheDir, httpCacheSize);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i("CacheHttpUrlConnection", "HTTP response cache installation failed:" + e);
}
// Register for activity lifecycle callbacks,
// specifically interested in activity stop callbacks.
registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(
new MyApplicationActivityLifeCycleCallbacks());
}
// method to flush cache contents to the filesystem
public void flushCache() {
HttpResponseCache cache = HttpResponseCache.getInstalled();
if (cache != null) {
cache.flush();
}
}
private class MyApplicationActivityLifeCycleCallbacks implements ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {
}
public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) {
flushCache();
}
@Override
public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
}
}
}
MainActivity.java:
Inside doInBackground of AsyncTask class:
...
URL url = new URL(address);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
int maxStale = 60 * 60 * 24 * 28; // tolerate 4-weeks stale
urlConnection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "max-stale=" + maxStale);
// Checks cache
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
cache = HttpResponseCache.getInstalled();
if (cache != null) {
cacheInfo = "Request count: "
+ cache.getRequestCount() + ", hit count "
+ cache.getHitCount() + ", network count "
+ cache.getNetworkCount() + " size = "
+ cache.size() + " <-----------------";
Log.i(LOG_TAG, cacheInfo);
}
}
// Gets stream
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "RespCode: " + urlConnection.getResponseCode());
if (urlConnection.getResponseCode() < HttpURLConnection.HTTP_BAD_REQUEST) {
inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
} else {
inputStream = urlConnection.getErrorStream();
}
// Parses stream to string
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String temp, response = "";
