Android之view重绘

android中实现view的更新有两组方法，一组是invalidate，另一组是postInvalidate，其中前者是在UI线程自身中使用，而后者在非UI线程中使用。

 

public void invalidate()
Invalidate the whole view. If the view is visible, onDraw(Canvas) will be called at some point in the future. This must be called from a UI thread. To call from a non-UI thread, call postInvalidate().

public void postInvalidate ()
Cause an invalidate to happen on a subsequent cycle through the event loop. Use this to invalidate the View from a non-UI thread.

google的文档的说明实在是简单，往往看了开发中都会遇到这两个问题:
1. 没有任何异常，view没能刷新。
2. android应用异常终止，打开logcat会看到这样的异常信息, Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views。

最后，通过查文档，上网查询才知道，invalidate和postInvalidate方法需要使用android提供的handler,才能实现重绘，而在文档的说明中却只字不提，真是简单啊。具体是在需要重绘的地方调用handler的sendMessage方法发送消息，紧接着会os会触发handler中的handlerMessage方法，在handlerMessage方法中再调用view的invalidate或者postInvalidate方法就能实现重绘。

 

view重绘代码如下：

class CustomizeView extends WhichView { public CustomizeView(Context context) { super(context); final Handler handler = new Handler(); new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { // delay some minutes you desire. /*try { Thread.sleep(3000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { }*/ handler.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { concreteUpdateUI(); invalidate(); } }); } }).start(); } protected void concreteUpdateUI() { // Add concrete movement for UI updates. // ... } }

 

或者：

class CustomizeView extends TextView { public CustomizeView(Context context) { super(context); new Thread(new UIUpdateThread()).start(); } class UIUpdateThread implements Runnable { final Handler mHandler = new Handler(); final Runnable mUpdateResults = new Runnable() { public void run() { concreteUpdateUI(); invalidate(); } }; public void run() { // delay some minutes you desire. /*try { Thread.sleep(1000 * 5); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }*/ mHandler.post(mUpdateResults); } } protected void concreteUpdateUI() { // Add concrete movement for UI updates. // ... } }
