篇首语:本文由小常识网(cha138.com)小编为大家整理,主要介绍了Android IntentService相关的知识,希望对你有一定的参考价值。

IntentService是一个含有消息循环的Service,它是一个service,所以service相关具有的特性他都有,同时他还有一些自身的属性,其内部封装了一个消息队列和一个HandlerThread,在其具体的抽象方法:onHandleIntent方法是运行在其消息队列线。

/**
 * IntentService is a base class for @link Services that handle asynchronous
 * requests (expressed as @link Intents) 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.
 *
 * <p>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.
 *
 * <p>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.

    @WorkerThread
    protected abstract void onHandleIntent(@Nullable Intent intent);

当启动一个intentService的时候,首先执行到onCreate()方法,代码如下:

@Override
    public void onCreate() 
        // TODO: It would be nice to have an option to hold a partial wakelock
        // during processing, and to have a static startService(Context, Intent)
        // method that would launch the service & hand off a wakelock.

        super.onCreate();
        HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("IntentService[" + mName + "]");
        thread.start();

        mServiceLooper = thread.getLooper();
        mServiceHandler = new ServiceHandler(mServiceLooper);
    

onCreate方法中new出来一个HandlerThread对象,HandlerThread类继承Thread,是一个含有消息队列的线程,mServiceHandler下面再说。onCreate()执行完后,执行onStartCommand()方法,

 @Override
    public int onStartCommand(@Nullable Intent intent, int flags, int startId) 
        onStart(intent, startId);
        return mRedelivery ? START_REDELIVER_INTENT : START_NOT_STICKY;
    

onStartCommand方法里调用了onStart方法,

 @Override
    public void onStart(@Nullable Intent intent, int startId) 
        Message msg = mServiceHandler.obtainMessage();
        msg.arg1 = startId;
        msg.obj = intent;
        mServiceHandler.sendMessage(msg);
    

onStart方法里用到了onCreate中的mServiceHandler,  ServiceHandler代码如下:

 private final class ServiceHandler extends Handler 
        public ServiceHandler(Looper looper) 
            super(looper);
        

        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) 
            onHandleIntent((Intent)msg.obj);
            stopSelf(msg.arg1);
        
    

当执行都onStart方法时,mServiceHandler发送一个消息,ServiceHandler类的handleMessage处理消息,这个时候已经是另外一个线程在处理了,(不清楚的可以了解下HandlerThread)会调用onHandleIntent方法,该方法是一个钩子函数,要用户自己去实现,

/**
     * This method is invoked on the worker thread with a request to process.
     * Only one Intent is processed at a time, but the processing happens on a
     * worker thread that runs independently from other application logic.
     * So, if this code takes a long time, it will hold up other requests to
     * the same IntentService, but it will not hold up anything else.
     * When all requests have been handled, the IntentService stops itself,
     * so you should not call @link #stopSelf.
     *
     * @param intent The value passed to @link
     *               android.content.Context#startService(Intent).
     *               This may be null if the service is being restarted after
     *               its process has gone away; see
     *               @link android.app.Service#onStartCommand
     *               for details.
     */
    @WorkerThread
    protected abstract void onHandleIntent(@Nullable Intent intent);

执行完onHandleIntent后,会主动stopSelf,该服务结束。

 

  1. IntentService是一个service,也是一个抽象类;
  2. 继承IntentService需要实现其onHandlerIntent抽象方法;
  3. onHandlerIntent在子线程中执行;
  4. IntentService内部保存着一个HandlerThread、Looper与Handler等成员变量,维护这自身的消息队列;
  5. 每次IntentService后台任务执行完成之后都会尝试关闭自身,但是当且仅当IntentService消息队列中最后一个消息被执行完成之后才会真正的stop自身;
