Android IntentService源码详解

一、为什么要重写onHandleIntent方法？

public abstract class IntentService extends Service {

IntentService也是继承于Service，而Service生命周期无外乎onCreate，onStart，onDestory，所以我们先来看看这几个生命周期方法的实现

onCreate:

 @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        // TODO: It would be nice to have an option to hold a partial wakelock
        // during processing, and to have a static startService(Context, Intent)
        // method that would launch the service & hand off a wakelock.

        super.onCreate();
        HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("IntentService[" + mName + "]");
        thread.start();

        mServiceLooper = thread.getLooper();
        mServiceHandler = new ServiceHandler(mServiceLooper);
    }

首先会启动一个HandlerThread的线程，其run方法如下所示:

 public void run() {
        mTid = Process.myTid();
        Looper.prepare();
        synchronized (this) {
            mLooper = Looper.myLooper();
            notifyAll();
        }
        Process.setThreadPriority(mPriority);
        onLooperPrepared();
        Looper.loop();
        mTid = -1;
    }

该方法主要是获得一个looper对象，这也是其和Thread最本质的区别,得到Looper对象后会唤醒等待此Looper对象的所有线程,等待Looper的代码如下所示:

/**
     * This method returns the Looper associated with this thread. If this thread not been started
     * or for any reason is isAlive() returns false, this method will return null. If this thread 
     * has been started, this method will block until the looper has been initialized.  
     * @return The looper.
     */
    public Looper getLooper() {
        if (!isAlive()) {
            return null;
        }
        
        // If the thread has been started, wait until the looper has been created.
        synchronized (this) {
            while (isAlive() && mLooper == null) {
                try {
                    wait();
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                }
            }
        }
        return mLooper;
    }

如果该线程已经启动并且还没有创建Looper时就一直等待

 

之后，IntentService将handlerthread中的Looper传给ServiceHandler对象:

private final class ServiceHandler extends Handler {
        public ServiceHandler(Looper looper) {
            super(looper);
        }

        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
            onHandleIntent((Intent)msg.obj);
            stopSelf(msg.arg1);
        }
    }

 

接着看onStart方法：

 @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        Message msg = mServiceHandler.obtainMessage();
        msg.arg1 = startId;
        msg.obj = intent;
        mServiceHandler.sendMessage(msg);
    }

主要是将message对象发送给ServiceHandler，然后ServiceHandler会调用handleMessage进行处理

@Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
            onHandleIntent((Intent)msg.obj);
            stopSelf(msg.arg1);
        }

如上所示，调用了一个onHandleIntent方法进行处理，故在我们自己的IntentService中要实现onHandleIntent方法

最后看onDestory方法

 @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        mServiceLooper.quit();
    }

调用Looper对象的quit方法

public void quit() {
        Message msg = Message.obtain();
        // NOTE: By enqueueing directly into the message queue, the
        // message is left with a null target.  This is how we know it is
        // a quit message.
        mQueue.enqueueMessage(msg, 0);
    }
