Notification与多线程

一个NSNotificationCenter对象(通知中心)提供了在程序中广播消息的机制，它实质上就是一个通知分发表。这个分发表负责维护为各个通知注册的观察者，并在通知到达时，去查找相应的观察者，将通知转发给他们进行处理。

[原文：An NSNotificationCenter object (or simply, notification center) provides a mechanism for broadcasting information within a program. An NSNotificationCenter object is essentially a notification dispatch table.]

调试融云IM消息接收器回调方法时，碰到一些问题，下面将一一指出。

code:

// 消息接收器(聊天室功能中，A客户端发送消息，B客户端可在该方法中回调消息)
- (void)onReceived:(RCMessage *)message
              left:(int)nLeft
            object:(id)object {
      DLog(@"Thread = %@", [NSThread currentThread]);
}

Log：

<BDChatRoomBaseController.m : -[BDChatRoomBaseController onReceived:left:object:] : 193> ——> Thread = <NSThread: 0x7fb7e2d6a340>{number = 4, name = (null)}

结论：当A客户端发送消息时，B客户端回调该方法是在子线程中异步回调的聊天结果。此时我想在此处发送消息接收的通知，作为他用！

代码：

- (void)onReceived:(RCMessage *)message left:(int)nLeft object:(id)object {
    DLog(@"Thread = %@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"TESTMESSAGE_NOTIFICATION" object:nil];
}

在控制器声明周期方法 viewDidLoad 中注册该通知。

code：

#pragma mark - View lifeCycle
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // 注册通知
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(receiveMessage:) name:@"TESTMESSAGE_NOTIFICATION" object:nil];
}

// 通知响应方法
- (void)receiveMessage:(NSNotification *)notification {
    DLog(@"Thread = %@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    DLog(@"userInfo = %@", notification.userInfo);
}

Log：

<BDConversationController.m : -[BDConversationController receiveMessage:] : 27> ——> Thread = <NSThread: 0x7feb35859d60>{number = 9, name = (null)}
<BDConversationController.m : -[BDConversationController receiveMessage:] : 28> ——> userInfo = (null)

结论：可以发现，子线程发出的通知，就会在子线程处理通知。

注意：在 - (void)receiveMessage:(NSNotification *)notification 刷新UI时，我们需要考虑到回到主线程刷新页面(线程通信)。

code:

// 通知响应方法
- (void)receiveMessage:(NSNotification *)notification {
    DLog(@"Thread = %@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    DLog(@"userInfo = %@", notification.userInfo);
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        // 刷新UI
    });
}

就可以成功的刷新UI了。
