Android 定时器

对于一个Java开发者来说,想到定时器(计时器,倒计时)的应用 一般都会想到使用 java.util.Timer 和 java.util.TimerTask , 在Android中使用这2个类也可以实现计时的功能 但是使用起来还是有点麻烦的, 特别是在UI界面需要更新的时候, 例如 实现一个倒计时的界面, 在一个TextView中显示当前剩余的时间, 如果在TimerTask中计时,则无法更新TextView显示的剩余时间(在非UI线程中 不能访问UI组件),可以通过runOnUiThread函数来实现  但是多少有点烦琐

在Android 实现定时比较推荐的方式还是使用 android.os.Handler 中的 postXXX 和sendXXX 等方法. 细心的开发者可能已经注意到Android提供了一个倒计时的助手类 android.os.CountDownTimer 来方便实现倒计时的功能. 她就是通过handler的 sendMessageDelayed 来实现的. 使用该类来显示一个倒计时的TextView是很方便的.

new CountDownTimer(60000,1000){
    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinish() {

    }
}.start();

CountDownTimer的源代码如下

Java

class CountDownTimer {

    /**
     * Millis since epoch when alarm should stop.
     */
    private final long mMillisInFuture;

    /**
     * The interval in millis that the user receives callbacks
     */
    private final long mCountdownInterval;

    private long mStopTimeInFuture;
    
    /**
    * boolean representing if the timer was cancelled
    */
    private boolean mCancelled = false;

    /**
     * @param millisInFuture The number of millis in the future from the call
     *   to {@link #start()} until the countdown is done and {@link #onFinish()}
     *   is called.
     * @param countDownInterval The interval along the way to receive
     *   {@link #onTick(long)} callbacks.
     */
    public CountDownTimer(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
        mMillisInFuture = millisInFuture;
        mCountdownInterval = countDownInterval;
    }

    /**
     * Cancel the countdown.
     */
    public synchronized final void cancel() {
        mCancelled = true;
        mHandler.removeMessages(MSG);
    }

    /**
     * Start the countdown.
     */
    public synchronized final CountDownTimer start() {
        mCancelled = false;
        if (mMillisInFuture <= 0) {
            onFinish();
            return this;
        }
        mStopTimeInFuture = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + mMillisInFuture;
        mHandler.sendMessage(mHandler.obtainMessage(MSG));
        return this;
    }


    /**
     * Callback fired on regular interval.
     * @param millisUntilFinished The amount of time until finished.
     */
    public abstract void onTick(long millisUntilFinished);

    /**
     * Callback fired when the time is up.
     */
    public abstract void onFinish();


    private static final int MSG = 1;


    // handles counting down
    private Handler mHandler = new Handler() {

        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

            synchronized (CountDownTimer.this) {
                if (mCancelled) {
                    return;
                }

                final long millisLeft = mStopTimeInFuture - SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();

                if (millisLeft <= 0) {
                    onFinish();
                } else if (millisLeft < mCountdownInterval) {
                    // no tick, just delay until done
                    sendMessageDelayed(obtainMessage(MSG), millisLeft);
                } else {
                    long lastTickStart = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
                    onTick(millisLeft);

                    // take into account user's onTick taking time to execute
                    long delay = lastTickStart + mCountdownInterval - SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();

                    // special case: user's onTick took more than interval to
                    // complete, skip to next interval
                    while (delay < 0) delay += mCountdownInterval;

                    sendMessageDelayed(obtainMessage(MSG), delay);
                }
            }
        }
    };
}
