Qt 中QTimer在子线程中使用

如果想在程序中使用延时或者定时功能，一般使用sleep或者定时器QTimer。想要在子线程中使用QTimer改怎么使用呢？

第一次

线程类

#pragma once

#include <QThread>

class QTimer;

class QtMyThread : public QThread {
	Q_OBJECT

public:
	QtMyThread(QObject *parent);
	~QtMyThread();

private:
	void run()override;

private slots:
	void slotTimeOut();

signals:
	void sigFlag(int i);
private:
	QTimer* _timer = nullptr;

	int _i = 0;
};

#include "QtMyThread.h"
#include <QTimer>

QtMyThread::QtMyThread(QObject *parent)
	: QThread(parent) {
}

QtMyThread::~QtMyThread() {
}

void QtMyThread::run() {
	_timer = new QTimer();
	connect(_timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(slotTimeOut()));
	_timer->start(1000);
}

void QtMyThread::slotTimeOut() {
	_i++;
	emit sigFlag(_i);
}

UI

#pragma once

#include <QtWidgets/QMainWindow>
#include "ui_Test.h"

class QtMyThread;

class Test : public QMainWindow {
	Q_OBJECT

public:
	Test(QWidget *parent = Q_NULLPTR);

private:
	void init();

private slots:
	void slotStartThread();
	void slotFlag(int i);
private:
	QtMyThread* _myThread = nullptr;
private:
	Ui::TestClass ui;
};

#include "Test.h"
#include "ThreadTimer/QtMyThread.h"

Test::Test(QWidget *parent)
	: QMainWindow(parent) {
	ui.setupUi(this);
	init();
}

void Test::init() {
	connect(ui.pushButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(slotStartThread()));

	_myThread = new QtMyThread(this);
	connect(_myThread, SIGNAL(sigFlag(int)), this, SLOT(slotFlag(int)));
}

void Test::slotStartThread() {
	_myThread->start();
}

void Test::slotFlag(int i) {
	ui.label->setText(QString::number(i));
}

当点击【开始】，发现定时器并没有运行
解决方案：需要在线程中添加时间循环处理函数 exec()

第二次

#include "QtMyThread.h"
#include <QTimer>

QtMyThread::QtMyThread(QObject *parent)
	: QThread(parent) {
}

QtMyThread::~QtMyThread() {
}

void QtMyThread::run() {
	_timer = new QTimer();
	connect(_timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(slotTimeOut()));
	_timer->start(1000);
	exec();
}

void QtMyThread::slotTimeOut() {
	_i++;
	emit sigFlag(_i);
}

点击按钮【开始】定时器已经运行起来了，但是通过断点发现，定时器还是在主线程中运行的。

解决方案：connect默认的连接方式Qt::AutoConnection，需要改成Qt::DirectConnection

第三次

#include "QtMyThread.h"
#include <QTimer>

QtMyThread::QtMyThread(QObject *parent)
	: QThread(parent) {
}

QtMyThread::~QtMyThread() {
}

void QtMyThread::run() {
	_timer = new QTimer();
	connect(_timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(slotTimeOut()), Qt::DirectConnection);
	_timer->start(1000);
	
	exec();
}

void QtMyThread::slotTimeOut() {
	_i++;
	emit sigFlag(_i);
}

这样就可以在子线程中运行定时器了
