The exclusion duration is given by {@link #DEFAULT_TRACK_EXCLUSION_MS} or {@link - * #DEFAULT_LOCATION_EXCLUSION_MS} if the load error was not an {@link - * #isRecoverableError(IOException) recoverable error}.

A loader that can choose between one of a number of resources can exclude a resource when a - * load error occurs. In this case, {@link #getFallbackSelectionFor(FallbackOptions, LoadErrorInfo)} - * defines whether the resource should be excluded for a given {@link FallbackType fallback type}, - * and if so for how long.

When fallback does not take place, a loader will call {@link + * #getRetryDelayMsFor(LoadErrorInfo)}.

The loader may + * also consider load errors that can be retried fatal if at least {@link + * #getMinimumLoadableRetryCount(int)} retries have been attempted. * *
