在QThread中使用QTimer

设计界面原型用定时器模拟程序运行，处理数据的程序运行时间很长，并要实时显示进度，需要使用多线程技术。运行程序出现下面的警告：

 

1	QObject::startTimer: timers cannot be started from another thread

警告无法再另一个进程中开始定时器。在QTimer的官方文档里，有下面一段话：

 

1

In multithreaded applications, you can use <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtimer.html">QTimer</a> in any thread that has an event loop. To start an event loop from a non-GUI thread, use <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qthread.html#exec">QThread::exec</a>(). Qt uses the timer's <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qobject.html#thread">thread affinity</a> to determine which thread will emit the <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtimer.html#timeout">timeout()</a> signal. Because of this, you must start and stop the timer in its thread; it is not possible to start a timer from another thread.

指出必须在同一个线程里开始和停止定时器，也就是只有在创建定时器的线程里才能接受到timeout()信号。我的代码中使用QObject::moveToThread()方法实现多线程

 

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

work_thread = new QThread();         local_dir_data_importer_service = new LocalDirDataImporterService(); //TODO:? parent         local_dir_data_importer_service->setImportDataModel(import_model);         local_dir_data_importer_service->moveToThread(work_thread);         work_thread->start();         connect(work_thread,SIGNAL(started()),local_dir_data_importer_service,SLOT(excuteImport()));

 

在LocalDirDataImporterService构造函数中初始化定时器

 

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

LocalDirDataImporterService::LocalDirDataImporterService(QObject *parent) : //... { //...     list_timer = new QTimer(); } //...

 

在LocalDirDataImporterService::excuteImport()中开启定时器

 

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

void LocalDirDataImporterService::excuteImport() {     list_timer->setInterval(1000);     list_timer->start();     this->connect(list_timer,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,SLOT(testImportItem())); }

 

如上，定时器在GUI进程中初始化，无法在子工作进程中开始定时器。需要在子工作进程中初始化定时器。

 

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

void LocalDirDataImporterService::excuteImport() {     list_timer = new QTimer();     list_timer->setInterval(1000);     list_timer->start();     this->connect(list_timer,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,SLOT(testImportItem())); }

 

这样定时器就可以正常使用了。

Stackoverflow上看到另一种方法，将定时器和工作类都移到某个子进程：

工作类

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

class Worker : public QObject {     Q_OBJECT public:     explicit Worker(QObject *parent = 0) : QObject(parent) {}   signals:     void doSomething();   public slots:     void trigger() {         emit doSomething();     } };

主程序

 

 

 

 

 

C++

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {     QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);       MainThreadObject o;       QThread *thread = new QThread;     Worker w;     QTimer timer;     timer.setInterval(1000);       timer.moveToThread(thread);     w.moveToThread(thread);       QObject::connect(thread, SIGNAL(started()), &timer, SLOT(start()));     QObject::connect(&w, SIGNAL(doSomething()), &o, SLOT(doSomething()));     QObject::connect(&timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), &w, SLOT(trigger()));       thread->start();       return a.exec(); }
