OkCacheControl

Build Status Codacy Badge codecov Download

Helper class to configure cache behaviour of OkHttp client, also works with Retrofit for Android.

Release version is available on jcenter:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'com.ncornette.cache:okcache-control:1.1.1'
}

Usage

Initialize OkCacheControl with OkHttpClient.Builder(), then you can call 2 extra methods :

  • overrideServerCachePolicy(MaxAgeControl)
  • forceCacheWhenOffline(NetworkMonitor)
  okClient = OkCacheControl.on(new OkHttpClient.Builder())
          .overrideServerCachePolicy(30, MINUTES)
          .forceCacheWhenOffline(networkMonitor)
          .apply() // return to the OkHttpClient.Builder instance
          .cache(cache)
          .build();

Description

  • overrideServerCachePolicy(MaxAgeControl) will override server cache policy on responses with Cache-Control: max-age. Cache will be used until expiration even if network is available. Use it when server doesn't implement a cache policy!

  • forceCacheWhenOffline(NetworkMonitor) will force the use of cache when no network connection is available. When offline, cache will be used even if expired. for Android you can implement a NetworkMonitor that returns the value of ConnectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected().

Call apply() to add interceptors to OkHttpClient.Builder and return the builder so you can continue to build OkHttpClient and add the cache.

Per request cache control

without Cache-Control header, cache is used until expiration, then network. (with forceCacheWhenOffline() expired cache will be used when offline)

  • add Cache-Control: no-cache to always use network, cache will be used only when offline.

  • add Cache-Control: no-store to not store response in cache.
