android 中的LocalBroadcastManager

对于LocalBroadcastManager在google官方文档中也说得很清楚，比较简短，也很好看懂，可以去看看。

Helper to register for and send broadcasts of Intents to local objects within your process. This has a number of advantages over sending global broadcasts with sendBroadcast(Intent):

• You know that the data you are broadcasting won’t leave your app, so don’t need to worry about leaking private data.
• It is not possible for other applications to send these broadcasts to your app, so you don’t need to worry about having security holes they can exploit.
• It is more efficient than sending a global broadcast through the system.

大体介绍就是这些，顾名思义，本地广播(注册)，数据安全，其他app也不能给你发广播(接收)。也比系统广播高效。

使用十分简单：

注册(接收)：

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        if(savedInstanceState!=null) {
            if(mLocalBroadcastManager!=null && mBoradCast!=null) {
                mLocalBroadcastManager.unregisterReceiver(mBoradCast);
                mLocalBroadcastManager=null;
                mBoradCast=null;
            }
        }
      mLocalBroadcastManager=LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this);
      mBoradCast = new MyBroadCast();
      IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
      //重点在这里，本地注册，本地接收。
      mLocalBroadcastManager.registerReceiver(mBoradCast, intentFilter);
}


    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        if(mLocalBroadcastManager!=null && mBoradCast!=null) {
            mLocalBroadcastManager.unregisterReceiver(mBoradCast);
            mLocalBroadcastManager=null;
            mBoradCast=null;
        }
    }

发送：

    LocalBroadcastManager lcm=LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(mContext);
    lcm.sendBroadcast(new Intent(ACTION_LOCATION));//发送

以上则是简单的使用。
那么来说说为何呢：有兴趣去看看LocalBroadcastManager。

注册这里可以看到，它其实是一个单例，针对本应用进程的。：

public static LocalBroadcastManager More ...getInstance(Context context) {
        synchronized (mLock) {
           if (mInstance == null) {
               mInstance = new LocalBroadcastManager(context.getApplicationContext());//应用的上下文
            }
            return mInstance;
        }
    }

    private More ...LocalBroadcastManager(Context context) {
        mAppContext = context;
        //用主线程注册handler
        mHandler = new Handler(context.getMainLooper()) {

            @Override
            public void More ...handleMessage(Message msg) {
                switch (msg.what) {
                    case MSG_EXEC_PENDING_BROADCASTS:
                        executePendingBroadcasts();
                        break;
                    default:
                        super.handleMessage(msg);
                }
            }
        };
    }

注册的代码：

private final HashMap<BroadcastReceiver, ArrayList<IntentFilter>> mReceivers
             = new HashMap<BroadcastReceiver, ArrayList<IntentFilter>>();
public void More ...registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter) {
        synchronized (mReceivers) {
            ReceiverRecord entry = new ReceiverRecord(filter, receiver);
            ArrayList<IntentFilter> filters = mReceivers.get(receiver);
            if (filters == null) {
                filters = new ArrayList<IntentFilter>(1);
                //这里很明显是用的一个HashMap来装的我们注册的receiver和filter
                mReceivers.put(receiver, filters);
            }
            filters.add(filter);
            for (int i=0; i<filter.countActions(); i++) {
                String action = filter.getAction(i);
                ArrayList<ReceiverRecord> entries = mActions.get(action);
                if (entries == null) {
                    entries = new ArrayList<ReceiverRecord>(1);
                    mActions.put(action, entries);
               }
                entries.add(entry);
            }
        }
    }

取消注册:

public void More ...unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver) {
        synchronized (mReceivers) {
            ArrayList<IntentFilter> filters = mReceivers.remove(receiver);
            if (filters == null) {
                return;8            }
            for (int i=0; i<filters.size(); i++) {
                IntentFilter filter = filters.get(i);
                for (int j=0; j<filter.countActions(); j++) {
                    String action = filter.getAction(j);
                    ArrayList<ReceiverRecord> receivers = mActions.get(action);
                    if (receivers != null) {
                        for (int k=0; k<receivers.size(); k++) {
                            if (receivers.get(k).receiver == receiver) {
                            //从Map里移除
                                receivers.remove(k);
                                k--;
                            }
                        }
                        if (receivers.size() <= 0) {
                            mActions.remove(action);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

发送广播，截取一部分：

if (receivers != null) {
    for (int i=0; i<receivers.size(); i++) {
          receivers.get(i).broadcasting = false;
    }                     
    mPendingBroadcasts.add(new BroadcastRecord(intent, receivers));
    if (!mHandler.hasMessages(MSG_EXEC_PENDING_BROADCASTS)) {
        mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(MSG_EXEC_PENDING_BROADCASTS);
     }
     return true;
}

private void More ...executePendingBroadcasts() {
        while (true) {
            BroadcastRecord[] brs = null;
            synchronized (mReceivers) {
               final int N = mPendingBroadcasts.size();
                if (N <= 0) {
                    return;
                }
                brs = new BroadcastRecord[N];
                mPendingBroadcasts.toArray(brs);
                mPendingBroadcasts.clear();
            }
            for (int i=0; i<brs.length; i++) {
               BroadcastRecord br = brs[i];
                for (int j=0; j<br.receivers.size(); j++) {
                //重点在这里，每个注册的都调用了我们注册的onReceive方法(让其自行接收处理)。
                   br.receivers.get(j).receiver.onReceive(mAppContext, br.intent);
                }
            }
        }
    }

这就大致了解了工作原理了。使用起来是很方便的，单例效率也高。所以如果不是非本地注册本地接收的，还是使用LocalBroadcastManager更好。如果是更新图库等，需要系统接收的除外。
