              @Nullable
              String[] hosts)

Create a new Algolia Search client with explicit hosts to target.

NOTE: In most use cases, you should the default hosts. See Client(String, String).

Parameters:

applicationID - The application ID (available in your Algolia Dashboard).

apiKey - A valid API key for the service.

hosts - An explicit list of hosts to target, or null to use the default hosts.

Method Detail

getApplicationID

@NonNull
public String getApplicationID()

Overrides:

getApplicationID in class AbstractClient

initIndex

public Index initIndex(@NonNull
                       String indexName)

Deprecated. You should now use getIndex(String), which re-uses instances with the same name.

Create a proxy to an Algolia index (no server call required by this method).

Parameters:

indexName - The name of the index.

Returns:

A new proxy to the specified index.

getIndex

@NonNull
public Index getIndex(@NonNull
                               String indexName)

Obtain a proxy to an Algolia index (no server call required by this method).

Parameters:

indexName - The name of the index.

Returns:

A proxy to the specified index.

listIndexesAsync

public Request listIndexesAsync(@NonNull
                                CompletionHandler completionHandler)

List existing indexes.

Parameters:

Returns:

A cancellable request.

deleteIndexAsync

public Request deleteIndexAsync(@NonNull
                                String indexName,
                                CompletionHandler completionHandler)

Delete an index.

Parameters:

indexName - Name of index to delete.

Parameters:

srcIndexName - Name of index to move.

dstIndexName - The new index name.

completionHandler - The listener that will be notified of the request’s outcome.

Returns:

A cancellable request.
