This class manages a cache of soft references to objects that may take some time to load or create, such as images loaded from the network.

Adding an object is two fold:

  • First you add the key, this lets the cache know that someone is working on that key.
  • Then when the completed object is ready you put it into the cache.

If someone requests a key after it has been added but before it has been put they will be blocked until the put.

Check if request(key) will return with an Object (not putting you on the hook for it).

Clear the entry for key. This is the easiest way to 'get off the hook'. if you didn't intend to get on it.

Associate object with key. 'object' is only referenced through a soft reference so don't rely on the cache to keep it around. If the map no longer contains our url it was probably cleared or flushed since we were put on the hook for it, so in that case we will do nothing.
