- All Implemented Interfaces:
 JsonSerializable,Loadable
 Collections of fully populated PortalGroup objects can be obtained by calling the
 Portal.findGroupsAsync(PortalQueryParameters), Portal.fetchFeaturedGroupsAsync(),
 PortalItem.fetchGroupsAsync() and PortalUser.getGroups() methods. The load status of such objects is
 LoadStatus.LOADED.
 
 Alternatively a PortalGroup object can be constructed using PortalGroup(Portal, String) if the group ID is
 known. In that case the load status is initially LoadStatus.NOT_LOADED and the object needs to be loaded to
 populate its properties.
 
The portal group owner is automatically an administrator and is returned in the list of admins. The access property determines the visibility of the group to other users. If the group is private, no one except the administrators and the members of the group can see it. If the group is shared with an organization, then all members of the organization can see the group.
Administrators can invite, add to, and remove members from a group, and also update and delete the group. The administrator for an organization may also reassign the group to another member of the organization. Group members may leave the group. Authenticated users may apply to join a group.

 toJsonin interfaceJsonSerializable- Returns:
 - a JSON string
 
 - 
getUnknownJson
Description copied from interface:JsonSerializableGets unknown data from the source JSON.Unknown JSON is a Map of values not defined in the ArcGIS specification used to create this object but found in the source JSON. If the object is written back to JSON, any unknown JSON data is not persisted. The ArcGIS specification may be for a web map, web scene, REST API, and so on.

cancelLoad
public void cancelLoad()Description copied from interface:LoadableCancels loading metadata for the object.Cancels loading the metadata if the object is loading, and always invokes the done loading listener.
A load operation that is in progress (
LoadStatus.LOADINGstate) can be cancelled by calling this method and the resource will transition fromLoadStatus.LOADINGtoLoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOADstate. If the load operation was successfully cancelled, a CancellationException will be returned fromLoadable.getLoadError().Cancellation should be used carefully because all enqueued done loading listeners for that resource instance will get invoked with an error stating that the operation was cancelled. Thus, one component in the application can cancel the load operation initiated by other components.
This method does nothing if the resource is not in
LoadStatus.LOADINGstate.- Specified by:
 cancelLoadin interfaceLoadable
 - 
loadAsync
public void loadAsync()Description copied from interface:LoadableLoads the metadata of the loadable resource asynchronously.The load status changes from
LoadStatus.NOT_LOADEDtoLoadStatus.LOADING. A listener can be added viaLoadable.addDoneLoadingListener(java.lang.Runnable)that is invoked upon completion of the asynchronous load operation.If the load operation completes successfully, the load status will be
LoadStatus.LOADED, which means the resource has loaded its metadata.If the load operation failed, the load status will be
LoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOADand the error can be retrieved by callingLoadable.getLoadError().This method can be called concurrently and repeatedly, but only one attempt is ever made to perform the load operation. If a load operation is already in progress (
LoadStatus.LOADINGstate) whenloadAsyncis called, it simply piggy-backs on the outstanding operation and the done loading listener added to the loadable resource is enqueued to be invoked when that operation completes. If the operation has already completed (LoadStatus.LOADEDorLoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOADstate) whenloadAsyncis called, the done loading listener is immediately invoked when added to the loadable resource.If a loadable resource has failed to load, calling
loadAsyncon it subsequently will not change its state. The done loading listener will be invoked immediately when added to the loadable resource. In order to retry loading the resource,Loadable.retryLoadAsync()needs to be used.A load operation that is in progress (
LoadStatus.LOADINGstate) can be cancelled by callingLoadable.cancelLoad(). - 
retryLoadAsync
public void retryLoadAsync()Description copied from interface:LoadableLoads or retries loading metadata for the object asynchronously.Will retry loading the metadata if the object's load status is
LoadStatus.FAILED_TO_LOAD. Will load the object if it is not loaded. Will not retry to load the object if the object is loaded.For more details on the load process see
Loadable.loadAsync().- Specified by:
 retryLoadAsyncin interfaceLoadable
 - 
addDoneLoadingListener
Description copied from interface:LoadableAdds a listener to the loadable resource that is invoked when loading has completed.The listener may be added at any point, whether the loadable resource has already completed loading or not.
- For resources that are not loaded when the listener is added (LoadStatus is NOT_LOADED or LOADING): When the resource completes loading, the listener will be invoked on the UI thread if it is added from the UI thread, otherwise it is not guaranteed on which thread the listener is invoked.
 - For resources that are already loaded when the listener is added (LoadStatus is LOADED or FAILED_TO_LOAD): The listener will be called immediately, on the current thread.
 
Alternatively, to be notified when there is any change in the load status, add a listener to the
Loadable.loadStatusProperty()instead.- Specified by:
 addDoneLoadingListenerin interfaceLoadable- Parameters:
 listener- a Runnable that is invoked upon completion of the load operation
 - 
removeDoneLoadingListener
Description copied from interface:LoadableRemoves a done loading listener from the loadable resource.- Specified by:
 removeDoneLoadingListenerin interfaceLoadable- Parameters:
 listener- the listener to be removed- Returns:
 - true if the listener was removed, otherwise false
 
 - 
addLoadStatusChangedListener
Description copied from interface:LoadableAdds aLoadStatusChangedListenerto the loadable resource that is invoked whenever the load status changes.Adding this listener on the UI thread will cause it to be invoked on the UI thread, otherwise it is not guaranteed on which thread the listener is invoked.
The listener will not be called if added to a loadable resource that has already completed loading. To be notified when a loadable resource has completed loading, including if the resource is already loaded when the listener is added, use the
Loadable.addDoneLoadingListener(Runnable)method.- Specified by:
 addLoadStatusChangedListenerin interfaceLoadable- Parameters:
 listener- theLoadStatusChangedListenerto be added
 - 
removeLoadStatusChangedListener
Description copied from interface:LoadableRemoves aLoadStatusChangedListenerfrom the loadable resource.- Specified by:

findItemsAsync
public ListenableFuture<PortalGroupContentSearchResultSet> findItemsAsync(PortalGroupContentSearchParameters searchParams) Executes an asynchronous operation to find portal items that belong to this group and match the given search parameters. The result is a PortalGroupContentSearchResultSet object containing thePortalItems that were found.This method uses a Group Content Search operation that's designed specifically for finding items that belong to a group. It differs from the
Portal.findItemsAsync(PortalQueryParameters)method which uses a general-purpose Search operation that's suitable for searching all items stored on a portal.The behavior of this method differs from the
Portal.findItemsAsync(PortalQueryParameters)method in the following ways:- If the 
PortalGroupContentSearchParameters.getCategories()property is used, the categories specified there will be matched with group categories that have been specified by the group owner/administrator, as opposed to the organization-level categories that the general-purpose Search operation matches against. - An extra 
PortalGroupContentSearchParameters.getSortField()option is available, "added", to sort the results on the time the items were added to the group. 
- Parameters:
 searchParams- the search parameters- Returns:
 - a ListenableFuture for tracking when the operation is done and getting the result; also allows
 cancellation. Calling 
get()on the returned future may throw anExecutionExceptionwith its cause set to an exception as follows:IOExceptionif the network request fails
 - Throws:
 IllegalArgumentException- if searchParams is null- Since:
