一个service 本质上有两种形式:需要注意的是service 可以同时处于started + Bound状态.
started:当application 组件call startService()后,service就处于started.这时候service 就可以在后台独立运行,即使启动它的application 组件被 销毁,当这个service 要做的事情完成是,如下载成功一个文件后。必须调用stopService()或者stopService()来停止service.
Bound:当application 组件call bindService()后,service就处于Bound.处于这种状态的service 和组件之前通过client-server的方式交互。application 组件 可以发送request给service,可以获取结果,可以IPC。只要有application bound 到service,service 就会一直运行,可以有多于一个的application 组 件连接到service。当所有application 组件unbound service后,service 就会销毁.
service 默认是运行在main thread,所以在service中cpu 密集型工作会block main thread的操作,你应该为service 单独创建一个thread运行cpu 密集型job.但这样application 和 运行在单独thread 中的service 交互的时候,可能由于service 在运行cpu 密集型job,而造成ANR.
要创建一个service,你必须定义一个class extend service。在这个new class中必须要实现下面四个callback。
onStartCommand:startService()->onCreate()->onStartCommand()->onDestroy()
onBind:bindService()->onCreate()->onBind()->onUnbind()->onDestroy()
onCreate:
onDestroy:
你必须在manifest文件中<service>中声明service,就像下面这样。
<manifest ... >
...
<application ... >
<service android:name=".ExampleService" />
Android:exported=false// 这个service 只能在本application中运行。增强secure。
</application>
</manifest>
要创建一个service,你必须定义一个class extend IntentService。这个子类你只要实现onHandleIntent就行.
service的子类每次处理一个request,如果你不需要service同时处理多条quest,那你最好实现IntentService的子类,你只要实现onHandleIntent方法就行了
一般我们让IntentService run在单独的线程中,service 会出来才理你个OnstartCommand 中发送过来的Intent,当所有的request 出来完时,IntentService 会自动call stopSelf().
如果你要重写IntentService的callback method,例如:onCreate(),OnStartCommand(),或者oNDestroy(),一定要call super implement。否则的话IntentService 没办法控制worker thread的生命周期.
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Toast.makeText(this, "service starting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return super.onStartCommand(intent,flags,startId);
}
不用call super.onBind()和super.onHandleIntent()
如果要同时出来多条quest 最好实现service的子类+HandlerThread的方式进行.
当调用onStartCommand()的时候会返回一个整数。这个值描述当service被系统kill后如何进行。这个返回值只能是下面三个:
START_NOT_STICKY :在执行onStartCommand()后,系统kill service,在没有pending intent的情况下不好recreate service.
START_STICKY :系统kill service后,重新call onStartCommand(),但是不要重新发送最后一个intert,而是发送一个空 intent 给onStartCommand(),如果要发送pending intent 给service.
START_REDELIVER_INTENT:重新启动service,发送最后一个intent 和 pending intent.
可以call startForeground 来让service 运行在前台,这样即使系统memory比较紧张的时候,也不会kill掉前台service.与之对应的是通过stopForeground来移除前台service.
我们来看看IntentService的源码
53可知IntentService 继承service,也是一个抽象类,不能实例化。
59 定义可一个handle的子类,在其handleMessage中调用onHandleIntent,这也是IntentService子类唯一要实现的方法.
108 new 一个handlerThread,并start,可知IntentService 用于一个独立的thread.
