Android 应用共用的HttpClient实例实践

AndroidHttpClient是对HttpClient的包装，内部带访问连接器，并设置为可以多线程使用，所以一个应用只要有一个AndroidHttpClient实例就可以了。

下面是将这个实例放到自定义Application里的实现代码，供参考。

public class MyApplication extends Application{
    private AndroidHttpClient httpClient;
    private AndroidHttpClient createHttpClient() {
        AndroidHttpClient httpClient = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("myagent)");
        return httpClient;
    }
    public void onCreate()
    {
        super.onCreate();
        httpClient = createHttpClient();
    }
  public AndroidHttpClient getHttpClient() {
    if (httpClient == null)
      httpClient = createHttpClient();
    return httpClient;
  }

  @Override
  public void onLowMemory() {
    super.onLowMemory();
    shutdownHttpClient();
  }

  @Override
  public void onTerminate() {
    super.onTerminate();
    shutdownHttpClient();
  }

  private void shutdownHttpClient() {
    if (httpClient != null) {
      if (httpClient.getConnectionManager() != null) {
        httpClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
      }
      httpClient.close();
      httpClient = null;
    }
  }

}

在使用时，代码如下

AndroidHttpClient httpClient = ((MyApplication)getApplication()).getHttpClient();
