Android 中即時聊天或者後台任務需要發送消息的一種解決方案.

在即時聊天中可能會存在一個隱藏的Bug,這個Bug根據手機的網速和性能有關系,比如你即時聊天中,你發送一消息,你的網絡情況不是很好,這個時候你發送的消息一直處於發送狀態,然後你不想看了,就按退出,這個時候Activity或者Fragment被銷毀的時候就導致了這個消息被強行GC了,所以為了解決這個方案,我們可以使用IntentService,什麼是IntentService?<喎?/kf/ware/vc/" target="_blank" class="keylink">vcD4KPHA+PC9wPgo8cHJlIGNsYXNzPQ=="brush:java;">/*IntentService is a base class for {@link Service}s that handle asynchronous requests (expressed as {@link Intent}s) on demand. Clients send requests through {@link android.content.Context#startService(Intent)} calls; the service is started as needed, handles each Intent in turn using a worker thread, and stops itself when it runs out of work.*/

從這個解釋中可以看出來是一個異步服務,而且不用擔心他自己的生命周期.所以我們就可以使用它去發送消息,當然消息發送完畢後,我們肯定要通知界面更新UI,這個時候我們就需要使用廣播比較方便些.我們可以這樣寫一個IntentService:

package com.softtanck.intentservicedemo.service;

import android.app.IntentService;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

import com.softtanck.intentservicedemo.MainActivity;

/**
 * Created by winterfell on 11/17/2015.
 */
public class UpLoadImgService extends IntentService {


    public UpLoadImgService() {
        super("ceshi");
    }

    /**
     * Creates an IntentService.  Invoked by your subclass's constructor.
     *
     * @param name Used to name the worker thread, important only for debugging.
     */
    public UpLoadImgService(String name) {
        super(name);
    }


    public static void startUploadImg(Context context, String path) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, UpLoadImgService.class);
        intent.setAction(MainActivity.UPLOAD_IMG);
        intent.putExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_IMG_PATH, path);
        context.startService(intent);
    }


    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {

        if (null != intent) {
            String action = intent.getAction();

            if (action.equals(MainActivity.UPLOAD_IMG)) {
                //UpLoad file
                uploadImg(intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_IMG_PATH));
            }
        }

    }

    private void uploadImg(String path) {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(2000);
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.UPLOAD_IMG);
            intent.putExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_IMG_PATH, path);
            sendBroadcast(intent);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

然後在需要的地方去調用:

UpLoadImgService.startUploadImg(MainActivity.this, "/sdcard/cache/com.softtanck.intentservice/1.png");

還有就是IntentService是繼承的Service,那麼它是怎麼實現異步線程的.?我們先粗略看一下它的源碼:

/**
 * IntentService is a base class for {@link Service}s that handle asynchronous
 * requests (expressed as {@link Intent}s) on demand.  Clients send requests
 * through {@link android.content.Context#startService(Intent)} calls; the
 * service is started as needed, handles each Intent in turn using a worker
 * thread, and stops itself when it runs out of work.
 *
 * 
This "work queue processor" pattern is commonly used to offload tasks
 * from an application's main thread.  The IntentService class exists to
 * simplify this pattern and take care of the mechanics.  To use it, extend
 * IntentService and implement {@link #onHandleIntent(Intent)}.  IntentService
 * will receive the Intents, launch a worker thread, and stop the service as
 * appropriate.
 *
 * 
All requests are handled on a single worker thread -- they may take as
 * long as necessary (and will not block the application's main loop), but
 * only one request will be processed at a time.

從源碼中可以看出在OnCreat的時候初始化了一個HandlerThread,然後通過Looper的Loop去從消息隊列裡面去,建立了Handler的通信,而HandlerMessage中調用一個抽象的方法就是我們繼承IntentService中的要實現的方法,該方法就是在線程中的,所以不需要再去開啟線程.它的生命周期也是由Service是管理的.
