Method Details

prepare

void prepare()

Start preparing the Provider in the background. An explicit call to this method is not required, but depending on the thumbnail format, this call might speed up the resolution of upcoming thumbnail requests.

Depending on the thumbnail format, it's possible for the Provider to need downloading and parsing of the manifest prior to the download of the thumbnails.
