How to check if AssetReference already loaded?

Pretty new to addressables and think I'm missing something.

I use a simple coroutine (as below) to load any AssetReferenced sprite into any SpriteRenderer.

Code (CSharp):

1. public void SetSprite(SpriteRenderer _spriteRenderer, AssetReference _sprite)
2.     {
3.         StartCoroutine(SetSpriteRef(_spriteRenderer,_sprite));
4.     }
5.  
6.     private IEnumerator SetSpriteRef(SpriteRenderer _spriteRenderer, AssetReference _sprite)
7.     {
8.        var _currentSpriteOperationHandle = Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<Sprite>(_sprite);
9.         yield return _currentSpriteOperationHandle;
10.         _spriteRenderer.sprite = (Sprite)_currentSpriteOperationHandle.Result;
11.     }

Then to load a particular AssetReference into a particular SpriteRenderer I do:

Code (CSharp):

1. SetSprite(spriteRendererName, spriteAssetReference);

But how, at a later time, can I find out if an AssetReference has already been loaded, so I do not needlessly run the SetSprite coroutine again for that same AssetReference (whether I want to load it into the same or another SpriteRenderer)?

 

I'm not sure, but I don't think there's a way to ask Addressables whether a specific asset is is loaded or not. I think you'll have to keep track of that yourself.

 

Appreciate the reply.
I did find some info and now currently use both .IsValid() and .IsDone on a handle's specific result (that I might want to assign to a spriteRenderer) to first check if its already loaded, if so, then assign the existing Result instead of loading. But of course this unforuntately doesn't work with the way I loaded assets in the code above as there's no way to keep track of handles that way, so I had to change how I load addressables by loading whole groups, each with their own handle and results.
