Android中使用IntentService运行后台任务

IntentService提供了一种在后台线程中运行任务的方式,适合处理运行时间较长的后台任务。

长处:

(1)IntentService执行在单独的线程中。不会堵塞UI线程

(2)IntentService不受生命周期的影响

缺点:

(1)不能与UI直接进行交互,能够用Broadcast

(2)顺序运行请求,第二个请求仅仅有在第一个请求运行完以后才干运行

(3)请求不能被中断


使用IntentService的步骤:

(1)在Activity中通过startService启动service,并传递參数。

(2)Service中接收參数,做耗时的处理。处理完成,发送Broadcat,并把处理结果传递出来

(3)Activity中注冊BroadcastReceiver,监听广播,更新UI。


看一个样例:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
		Button btn = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.btn);
		btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
			@Override
			public void onClick(View v) {//通过startService启动service。并传递參数。
				Intent mServiceIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,RSSPullService.class);
				mServiceIntent.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.baidu.com/"));
				MainActivity.this.startService(mServiceIntent);
			}
		});
		//注冊BroadcastReceiver。监听广播
		IntentFilter statusIntentFilter = new IntentFilter(Constants.BROADCAST_ACTION);
        // Sets the filter's category to DEFAULT
        statusIntentFilter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
		DownloadStateReceiver mDownloadStateReceiver = new DownloadStateReceiver();
		// Registers the DownloadStateReceiver and its intent filters
		LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(mDownloadStateReceiver, statusIntentFilter);

	}

	private class DownloadStateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
		@Override
		public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
			String data = intent.getStringExtra(Constants.EXTENDED_DATA);
			Log.e("test", data);
			Toast.makeText(context, data, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		}
	}

}

public class RSSPullService extends IntentService {

	public RSSPullService() {
		super("RSSPullService");
	}
	
	@Override
	protected void onHandleIntent(Intent workIntent) {//接收參数。做耗时的处理。处理完成。发送Broadcat
		String localUrlString = workIntent.getDataString();
		String data = download(localUrlString);
		Intent localIntent = new Intent(Constants.BROADCAST_ACTION);
	    // Puts the status into the Intent
		localIntent.putExtra(Constants.EXTENDED_DATA, data);
	    // Broadcasts the Intent to receivers in this app.
	    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(localIntent);
	}
	
	private String download(String localUrlString){
		try{
			URL url = new URL(localUrlString);
			HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
			InputStream in = conn.getInputStream();
			ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
			byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
			int len = 0;
			while((len = in.read(buff)) != -1){
				out.write(buff,0,len);
			}
			in.close();
			return new String(out.toByteArray());
		}catch(Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
			return "";
		}
	}
}

public class Constants {

	// Defines a custom Intent action
	public static final String BROADCAST_ACTION = "com.example.android.threadsample.BROADCAST";

	// Defines the key for the status "extra" in an Intent
	public static final String EXTENDED_DATA_STATUS = "com.example.android.threadsample.STATUS";
	
	public static final String EXTENDED_DATA = "com.example.android.threadsample.DATA";

}
