How do I delete my app cache when the app is exited?

Question

Is there any way to delete the cache of the app at exit as using Glide to load images in recylerview from different fragments and activities is generating a huge amount of cache to the App.(don,t want to use disk cache strategies of glide as caches are required during runtime)

Are you looking to explicitly delete files added only by Glide in cache ? — Nakul, Aug 29 '18 at 05:55
I'm not sure, I briefly checked Glide souce code, but found nothing useful. You can clear all cache with this https://stackoverflow.com/a/23908638/2930834 — Nakul, Aug 29 '18 at 06:25

If you are looking for delete cache of your own application then simply delete your cache directory and it's all done!

public static void deleteCache(Context context) {
    try {
        File dir = context.getCacheDir();
        deleteDir(dir);
    } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace();}
}


public static boolean deleteDir(File dir) {
    if (dir != null && dir.isDirectory()) {
        String[] children = dir.list();
        for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
            boolean success = deleteDir(new File(dir, children[i]));
            if (!success) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return dir.delete();
    } else if(dir!= null && dir.isFile()) {
        return dir.delete();
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
