Abort call to listFolderLongpoll() in Java SDK

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to abort a call to the /list_folder/longpoll endpoint in Java. I was using this method in DbxUserFilesRequests:

listFolderLongpoll(String cursor)

 

The issues is that I have a thread that calls this method, but when this thread is interrupted, I want to abort this poll, and have the new thread start polling for changes in the same location. Currently, I'm working around this by making a closeable HTTP call to the endpoint, but I am wondering if you plan to add this kind of functionality to the Java SDK or if it already exists. Thank you.

    No, unfortunately that's not built in to the SDK, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

    FJBDev I don't have any update on this request, and I'm not aware of any current plans to implement it.
