Android使用技巧------Activity中怎么样在子线程和UI线程中来回自如

一个方法:runOnUiThread

runOnUiThread是Activity内部的一个方法,源码如下:

 

    /**
     * Runs the specified action on the UI thread. If the current thread is the UI
     * thread, then the action is executed immediately. If the current thread is
     * not the UI thread, the action is posted to the event queue of the UI thread.
     *
     * @param action the action to run on the UI thread
     */
    public final void runOnUiThread(Runnable action) {
        if (Thread.currentThread() != mUiThread) {
            mHandler.post(action);
        } else {
            action.run();
        }
    }

接收参数是一个Runnable,接着判断当前是不是UI线程，如果不是的话就把这一步任务post到UI县城中去执行，如果是UI线程的话就执行这个异步任务。

 

下面是在自己的工程中截取的一个方法：（在一个New的线程run（）中用runOnUiThread（）更新UI。so easy ！）

 

 private void getMute() {
        new Thread() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                final String mute = mController.getMute(mDevice);
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        if (mute == null) {
                            LogUtil.d(TAG, "get mute failed...");
                            //跟新SeekBar的状态
                            if (sb_voice.getProgress() == 0) {
                                initMuteImg(MUTE);
                            }
                        } else {
                            LogUtil.d(TAG, "get mute success");
                            initMuteImg(mute);
                        }

                    }
                });
            }
        }.start();
    }

 

 

一个类:HandlerThread

首先，HandlerThread是一个Thread，意味这在它的run（）里面跑得任务都是异步。再看其run（），能到通过 Looper.myLooper()获得一个mLooper，还提供了一个getLooper()方法获取这个Looper。熟悉Handler、Looper、Message机制的话，很容一就可以把你想要放在HandlerThread中去，举个栗子：

首先创建自己的HandlerThread，让它跑起来：

 

 HandlerThread playThread = new HandlerThread("PlayActionManager");
 playThread.start();

 

 

接下来就是将其内部的Looper给到目标Handler：

 

 PlayControHandler  controHandler = new PlayControHandler(playThread.getLooper());

好了，你可以尽情地在PlayContorHandler（继承自Handler）中的handleMessage方法中做耗时的事情了。
