setNeedsDisplay

在CALayer - 1中我们了解到setNeedsDisplay这个方法，而其实UIView 和 CALayer都是存在这个方法的！我们来看看这个方法：无论在UIView 或者 CALayer上，都是提及这个方法的作用：刷新，重绘 视图内容contents

来看看简单的例子：

UIView:

头文件：

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface LBSetNeedsDisplayUIViewViewController : UIViewController

@end


@interface LBNeedsDisView : UIView

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL hasRandomColor;

@end

实现文件：

#import "UIColor+RandomColor.h"
#import "LBSetNeedsDisplayUIViewViewController.h"

@interface LBSetNeedsDisplayUIViewViewController ()

@property (nonatomic, strong) LBNeedsDisView* needsDisView;

@end

@implementation LBSetNeedsDisplayUIViewViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    self.needsDisView = [[LBNeedsDisView alloc] init];
    [self.needsDisView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
    [self.needsDisView setCenter:self.view.center];
    [self.view addSubview:self.needsDisView];
    
    UIButton* button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50)];
    [button setCenter:CGPointMake(self.view.center.x, button.center.y)];
    [button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:button];
}

- (void)buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
    self.needsDisView.hasRandomColor = YES;
    
    [self.needsDisView setNeedsDisplay];
}

@end


#pragma LBNeedsDisView

@implementation LBNeedsDisView

- (id)init
{
    self = [super init];
    
    if (self)
    {
        _hasRandomColor = NO;
    }
    
    return self;
}

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    [super drawRect:rect];
    
    
    if (_hasRandomColor)
    {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor randomColor]; //随机刷新颜色
    }
    
}

@end

同理地，CALayer：

头文件：

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface LBSetNeedsDisplayCALayerViewController : UIViewController

@end

@interface LBNeedsDisplayLayer : CALayer

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL hasRandomColor;

@end

实现文件：

#import "UIColor+RandomColor.h"
#import "LBSetNeedsDisplayCALayerViewController.h"

@interface LBSetNeedsDisplayCALayerViewController ()

@property (nonatomic, strong) LBNeedsDisplayLayer* layer;

@end

@implementation LBSetNeedsDisplayCALayerViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    self.layer = [LBNeedsDisplayLayer layer];
    self.layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor brownColor].CGColor;
    self.layer.bounds = CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 150);
    [self.view.layer addSublayer:self.layer];
    
    
    UIButton* button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50)];
    [button setCenter:CGPointMake(self.view.center.x, button.center.y)];
    [button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:button];
}

- (void)buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
    self.layer.hasRandomColor = YES;
    
    [self.layer setNeedsDisplay];
}

@end


@implementation LBNeedsDisplayLayer

- (id)init
{
    self = [super init];
    
    if (self)
    {
        _hasRandomColor = NO;
    }
    
    return self;
}

- (void)drawInContext:(CGContextRef)ctx
{
    [super drawInContext:ctx];
    
    if (_hasRandomColor)
    {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor randomColor].CGColor;
    }
}

@end

实现方式几乎一样哈！！

这里提几点：

1.UIView的drawRect在自定义UIView的子类初始化重载（重写）的同时也会调用，但是CALayer不会

2.两者通过setNeedsDisplay都会调用对应的drawRect: 和 DrawInContext: ， 贴切刷新的意思

3.两者的rect如果是zero ， 都不能响应这个方法，应该没有刷新和重绘的必要，两者都有局部重绘的方法

4.CALayer如果不用drawInContext:而采用代理实现的话，setNeedsDisplay是响应代理的实现方法:drawLayer: inContext:

5.线程上是异步执行，不会阻塞线程，并且在runloop最后一个阶段执行（有待验证）

非常常见的用法，用在set方法里面，每次调用set属性方法的时候及时刷新：

更新属性后，调用setNeedsDisplay

- (void)setType:(JSBubbleMessageType)newType
{
    type = newType;
    [self setNeedsDisplay];
}

在drawRect:方法里面相应地判断：

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)frame
{
    [super drawRect:frame];

    	
    if (self.mediaType == JSBubbleMediaTypeText)
	{
		//do something.
	}

}

上面两个例子就是这样的形式来编写的
