Re: [guava] New Empty ListenableFuture

[Louis Wasserman]

Sounds like you want http://docs.guava-libraries.googlecode.com/git/javadoc/com/google/common/util/concurrent/SettableFuture.html probably?

Hey guys,

I have an asynchronous apit which I am trying to "mock" for testing purposes.

I plan to call

Futures.addCallback(Future, Callback) in order to add a callback, but I need an empty ListenableFuture in order to call that.

Perhaps I am mis-understanding the future object.  If so, please enlighten me.

That might be what I want.

Please forgive my ignorance, but would I instantiate a SettableFuture thusly?

ListenableFuture<ClientResponse> result = SettableFuture<ClientResponse>.create();

Because that line gives the compile error: illegal start of expression

I think you want:
ListenableFuture<ClientResponse> result = SettableFuture.create();

The static method captures the type so you do not need to specify it.
I am guessing Eclipse auto-filled the type for you ... it does that a
lot.

You just need to call SettableFuture.create() -- you wouldn't need any generics, and if you did want to provide specific generics, they'd go after the period, not before.
