今天写了一个更新UI的小例子,没想到出了log打印了这样一个错误:Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views
。google了一下找到了原因。
原来android中相关的view和控件不是线程安全的,我们必须单独做处理。这里借此引出Handler的使用。
Handler的官方描述:
A Handler allows you to send and process Message and Runnable objects
associated with a thread’s MessageQueue. Each Handler instance is
associated with a single thread and that thread’s message queue. When
you create a new Handler, it is bound to the thread / message queue of
the thread that is creating it – from that point on, it will deliver
messages and runnables to that message queue and execute them as they
come out of the message queue.
Handler的使用场合:
- to schedule messages and runnables to be executed as some point in the future.
安排messages和runnables在将来的某个时间点执行。 - to enqueue an action to be performed on a different thread than your own.
将action入队以备在一个不同的线程中执行。即可以实现线程间通信。比如当你创建子线程时,你可以再你的子线程中拿到父线程中创建的Handler对象,就可以通过该对象向父线程的消息队列发送消息了。由于Android要求在UI线程中更新界面,因此,可以通过该方法在其它线程中更新界面。
通过Handler更新UI实例:
步骤:
- 创建Handler对象(此处创建于主线程中便于更新UI)。
- 构建Runnable对象,在Runnable中更新界面。
- 在子线程的run方法中向UI线程post,runnable对象来更新UI。
详细代码如下:
package djx.android;
import djx.downLoad.DownFiles;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class downLoadPractice extends Activity {
private Button button_submit= null;
private TextView textView = null;
private String content = null;
private Handler handler = null;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//创建属于主线程的handler
handler=new Handler();
button_submit = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button_submit);
textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
button_submit.setOnClickListener(new submitOnClieckListener());
}
//为按钮添加监听器
class submitOnClieckListener implements OnClickListener{
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//本地机器部署为服务器,从本地下载a.txt文件内容在textView上显示
final DownFiles df=new DownFiles("http://192.168.75.1:8080/downLoadServer/a.txt");
textView.setText("正在加载......");
new Thread() {
public void run() {
content = df.downLoadFiles();
handler.post(runnableUi);
}
}.start();
}
}
// 构建Runnable对象,在runnable中更新界面
Runnable runnableUi = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
//更新界面
textView.setText("the Content is:"+content);
}
};
}
