91.12 Using Deferred Installation

Deferred installation causes dynamic feature modules to be downloaded in the background and will be completed at the discretion of the operating system. When a deferred installation is initiated, the listener will be called with a pending status, but it is not otherwise possible to track the progress of the installation aside from checking whether or not the module has been installed.

To try deferred installation, modify the installFeature() method so that it reads as follows:

fun installFeature(view: View) {

    manager.deferredInstall(Arrays.asList("my_dynamic_feature"))

}

Note that the deferredInstall() method is passed an array, allowing the installation of multiple modules to be deferred.
