Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`begin()` Starts an asynchronous load.
`void`	`clear()` Prevents any bitmaps being loaded from previous requests, releases any resources held by this request, displays the current placeholder if one was provided, and marks the request as having been cancelled.
`boolean`	`isCancelled()` Returns true if the request has been cancelled.
`boolean`	`isComplete()` Returns true if the request has completed successfully.
`boolean`	`isEquivalentTo(Request other)` Returns `true` if this `Request` is equivalent to the given `Request` (has all of the same options and sizes).
`boolean`	`isFailed()` Returns true if the request has failed.
`boolean`	`isPaused()` Returns true if this request is paused and may be restarted.
`boolean`	`isResourceSet()` Returns true if a non-placeholder resource is put.
`boolean`	`isRunning()` Returns true if this request is running and has not completed or failed.
`void`	`pause()` Identical to `clear()` except that the request may later be restarted.
`void`	`recycle()` Recycles the request object and releases its resources.

- Method Detail
  - begin
```
void begin()
```
    Starts an asynchronous load.
  - pause
```
void pause()
```
    Identical to clear() except that the request may later be restarted.
  - clear
```
void clear()
```
    Prevents any bitmaps being loaded from previous requests, releases any resources held by this request, displays the current placeholder if one was provided, and marks the request as having been cancelled.
  - isPaused
```
boolean isPaused()
```
    Returns true if this request is paused and may be restarted.
  - isRunning
```
boolean isRunning()
```
    Returns true if this request is running and has not completed or failed.
  - isComplete
```
boolean isComplete()
```
    Returns true if the request has completed successfully.
  - isResourceSet
```
boolean isResourceSet()
```
    Returns true if a non-placeholder resource is put. For Requests that load more than one resource, isResourceSet may return true even if isComplete()} returns false.
  - isCancelled
```
boolean isCancelled()
```
    Returns true if the request has been cancelled.
  - isFailed
```
boolean isFailed()
```
    Returns true if the request has failed.
  - recycle
```
void recycle()
```
    Recycles the request object and releases its resources.
  - isEquivalentTo
```
boolean isEquivalentTo(Request other)
```
    Returns true if this Request is equivalent to the given Request (has all of the same options and sizes).
    This method is identical to #equals(Object) except that it's specific to Request subclasses. We do not use #equals(Object) directly because we track Requests in collections like Set and it's perfectly legitimate to have two different Request objects for two different Targets (for example). Using a similar but different method let's us selectively compare Request objects to each other when it's useful in specific scenarios.
