BroadcastReceiver.PendingResult

Class Overview

State for a result that is pending for a broadcast receiver. Returned by goAsync() while in BroadcastReceiver.onReceive(). This allows you to return from onReceive() without having the broadcast terminate; you must call finish() once you are done with the broadcast. This allows you to process the broadcast off of the main thread of your app.

Note on threading: the state inside of this class is not itself thread-safe, however you can use it from any thread if you properly sure that you do not have races. Typically this means you will hand the entire object to another thread, which will be solely responsible for setting any results and finally calling finish().
