Andriod中的SystemClock类

在Andriod中关于计算时间的操作，SystemClock类。

这个类有七个主要的静态方法setCurrentTimeMillis、uptimeMillis()、 elapsedRealtime()、currentThreadTimeMillis、currentThreadTimeMicro、currentTimeMicro、sleep。

我们来看一下这两个函数的实际含义，以下是源码中的注释

　　/**
     * Sets the current wall time, in milliseconds.  Requires the calling
     * process to have appropriate permissions.
     * @return if the clock was successfully set to the specified time.
     */
    native public static boolean setCurrentTimeMillis(long millis);

/**
     * Returns milliseconds since boot, not counting time spent in deep sleep.
     * <b>Note:</b> This value may get reset occasionally (before it would
     * otherwise wrap around).
     * @return milliseconds of non-sleep uptime since boot.
     */
    native public static long uptimeMillis();

    /**
     * Returns milliseconds since boot, including time spent in sleep.
     * @return elapsed milliseconds since boot.
     */

    native public static long elapsedRealtime();

/**
     * Returns milliseconds running in the current thread.
     * @return elapsed milliseconds in the thread
     */
    public static native long currentThreadTimeMillis();

 /**
     * Returns microseconds running in the current thread.
     * @return elapsed microseconds in the thread
     * @hide
     */
    public static native long currentThreadTimeMicro();

/**
     * Returns current wall time in  microseconds.
     * @return elapsed microseconds in wall time
     * @hide
     */
    public static native long currentTimeMicro();

由此可见，

setCurrentTimeMillis(long millis)是用来设置系统时针，可参考 http://blog.csdn.net/cuijian2b/article/details/8034884

uptimeMillis()返回的是系统从启动到当前处于非休眠期的时间。

elapsedRealTime()返回的是系统从启动到现在的时间。

currentThreadTimeMillis()是在当前线程中已运行的时间。（milliseconds毫秒）

currentThreadTimeMicro()是在当前线程中已运行的时间。（microseconds微秒）

currentTimeMicro() 是获得当前系统的时间

还有一个方法 public static void sleep(long ms)，和Thread.sleep的差别在于：

• Thread.sleep()是java提供的函数。在调用该函数的过程中可能会发生InterruptedException异常。
• SystemClock.sleep()是android提供的函数。在调用该函数的过程中不会发生InterruptedException异常，中断事件将要被延迟直到下一个中断事件。Use this function for delays if you do not useThread.interrupt(), as it will preserve the interrupted state of the thread.
