The session object used to start new tasks.
Requires: iOS 7.0.0 and later
These APIs are supported on iOS 7 and later.
The NSURLSession class and related classes provide an API for downloading content. This API provides a rich set of delegate methods for supporting authentication and gives your app the ability to perform background downloads when your app is not running or, in iOS, while your app is suspended.
iOS Background Services guide.
The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.
The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.
The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Button
returns Ti.UI.Button.
Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.
Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.
Default: true
The configuration used for this url session.
The configuration used for this url session.
Configuration options for an Modules.URLSession.Session object.
When a session is created, a copy of the configuration object is made.
you cannot modify the configuration of a session after it has been created.
The shared session uses the global singleton credential, cache and cookie storage objects.
An ephemeral session has no persistent disk storage for cookies, cache or credentials.
A background session can be used to perform networking operations on behalf of a suspended application, within certain constraints.
The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.
The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.
If this property is set to a Window or TabGroup, then the corresponding Activity lifecycle event callbacks will also be called on the proxy. Proxies that require the activity lifecycle will need this property set to the appropriate containing Window or TabGroup.
Adds the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.
Name of the event.
Callback function to invoke when the event is fired.
Applies the properties to the proxy.
Properties are supplied as a dictionary. Each key-value pair in the object is applied to the proxy such that myproxy[key] = value.
A dictionary of properties to apply.
Creates a data task for the specified URL, within the provided session object and local data.
An data task does not provide any additional functionality over a usual session task and its presence is merely to provide lexical differentiation from download and upload tasks.
Once this function is called, the task starts automatically. Once finished,
the data task will call the sessioncompleted event containing infos about
the response.
An object representing the arguments to add a new task task.
Task's identifier number.
Creates a download task for the specified URL, within the provided session object and saves the results to a file.
Once this function is called, the download starts automatically. The progress
of the download can be monitored by listening to the downloadprogress,
downloadcompleted, sessioneventscompleted and sessioncompleted events.
An object representing the arguments to add a new background task.
Task's identifier number.
Invalidates the given session object, allowing any outstanding tasks to finish.
This method returns immediately without waiting for tasks to finish. Once a session is invalidated,
new tasks cannot be created in the session, but existing tasks continue until completion. Once
invalidated, references to the events and callback objects are broken. Session objects cannot be
reused. To cancel all outstanding tasks, call invalidateAndCancel instead.
Fires a synthesized event to any registered listeners.
Name of the event.
A dictionary of keys and values to add to the Titanium.Event object sent to the listeners.
Flushes storage to disk and clear transient network caches.
Callback to be invoked when the reset completes.
Cancels all outstanding tasks and then invalidates the session object.
Once invalidated, references to the events and callback objects are broken.
Session objects cannot be reused. To allow outstanding tasks to run until
completion, call finishTasksAndInvalidate instead.
Removes the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.
Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event, so the
callback parameter is used to determine which listener to remove.
When adding a listener, you must save a reference to the callback function in order to remove the listener later:
var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);
To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:
window.removeEventListener('click', listener);
Name of the event.
Callback function to remove. Must be the same function passed to addEventListener.
Empties all cookies, cache and credential stores, removes disk files, calls flush.
Callback to be invoked when the reset completes.
Sets the value of the bubbleParent property.
New value for the property.
Sets the value of the configuration property.
New value for the property.
Sets the value of the lifecycleContainer property.
New value for the property.
Creates a upload task for the specified URL, within the provided session object and local data.
Once this function is called, the upload starts automatically. The progress
of the upload can be monitored by listening to the uploadprogress and
sessioncompleted events.
An object representing the arguments to add a new upload task.
Task's identifier number.
