com.webos.service.filecache

Note
This API has been available since API level 11.

API Summary

This service enables you to manage caching of files. It implements the global shared cache space, which webOS applications (such as Email) can use to temporary store cache files or send files to other webOS applications.

Overview of the API

On the system level, the File Cache service is a daemon that starts after the webOS boots. It is responsible for caching filesystem requests, enabling to improve the performance of I/O operations and to save space on the the flash storage device.

You can configure the File Cache service behavior by calling its methods or by editing the options in the FileCache.conf file. In particular, you can:

  • specify the global shared cache space
  • configure space and object parameters
  • specify automatic expiration options or select to control expiration manually.

The default setting of the FileCache.conf file is:

  • totalCacheSpace 104857600 (100 MiB)

ResizeCacheObject

ACG: filecache.operation
  • Added: API level 11

Description

By calling the ResizeCacheObject you can specify the size of the cached object after it is inserted into the cache. Call this method if the final size of the object, which is being inserted into the cache, is not known by the moment, when you call the InsertCacheObject method. In this case:

  1. Call the InsertCacheObject method specifying the best approximate object size you can guess.
  2. Then call the ResizeCacheObject method on a subscribed object, if the the object size grows out of the previously specified size.

If the object is larger than the specified size when the write operation is complete, the object will be automatically removed from the cache. If the object is smaller than the specified size, the recorded object size will be adjusted to the correct size.

Remark: it is not a good practice to just specify a larger than expected size though as this could cause other objects to be expired from the cache to make room for the specified size.
