Locks Wifi Multicast on until #release is called.
[Android.Runtime.Register("acquire", "()V", "GetAcquireHandler")]
public virtual void Acquire ();[<Android.Runtime.Register("acquire", "()V", "GetAcquireHandler")>]
abstract member Acquire : unit -> unit
override this.Acquire : unit -> unit- Attributes
Remarks
Locks Wifi Multicast on until #release is called.
If this MulticastLock is reference-counted each call to acquire will increment the reference count, and the wifi interface will receive multicast packets as long as the reference count is above zero.
If this MulticastLock is not reference-counted, the first call to acquire will turn on the multicast packets, but subsequent calls will be ignored. Only one call to #release will be required, regardless of the number of times that acquire is called.
Note that other applications may also lock Wifi Multicast on. Only they can relinquish their lock.
Also note that applications cannot leave Multicast locked on. When an app exits or crashes, any Multicast locks will be released.
