Is there a way to cancel a certain web request?

One of my apps requests several map images (in PNG format). If the user changes zoom levels while a map image is still being downloaded, I no longer need the map image that is being downloaded: it just wastes memory. Is there a way to cancel that specific image request, and not all of the requests in the queue?

Thanks!

The only option is to when you execute the zoom level code is to include the communications.cancelAllRequests(). It cancels all current communications requests. Then you start the new downloads with a clean slate.

Thank you! That’s what I’ve been having to do, however if I need to make other API requests that I really do want to get results from, it’s really annoying to keep getting -1003 errors. Thanks for your help, confirming there is no other way to cancel requests, and hopefully Garmin adds this feature in a later update.

You may be only to have one outstanding request with Android, as that was how it was in the past, With iOS, you could have 3 at the time.
