Android 中即时聊天或者后台任务需要发送消息的一种解决方案.

    

    在即时聊天中可能会存在一个隐藏的Bug,这个Bug根据手机的网速和性能有关系,比如你即时聊天中,你发送一消息,你的网络情况不是很好,这个时候你发送的消息一直处于发送状态,然后你不想看了,就按退出,这个时候Activity或者Fragment被销毁的时候就导致了这个消息被强行GC了,所以为了解决这个方案,我们可以使用IntentService,什么是IntentService?

/*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.*/

    从这个解释中可以看出来是一个异步服务,而且不用担心他自己的生命周期.所以我们就可以使用它去发送消息,当然消息发送完毕后,我们肯定要通知界面更新UI,这个时候我们就需要使用广播比较方便些.我们可以这样写一个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();        }    }}

    然后在需要的地方去调用:

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

    还有就是IntentService是继承的Service,那么它是怎么实现异步线程的.?我们先粗略看一下它的源码:

    从源码中可以看出在OnCreat的时候初始化了一个HandlerThread,然后通过Looper的Loop去从消息队列里面去,建立了Handler的通信,而HandlerMessage中调用一个抽象的方法就是我们继承IntentService中的要实现的方法,该方法就是在线程中的,所以不需要再去开启线程.它的生命周期也是由Service是管理的.
