android 时间间隔笔记

Android开发中经常会遇到计算时间间隔的场景，

java中提供了几种计算时间的方法：System.currentTimeMillis()和SystemClock.uptimeMillis()。

关于currentTimeMills

System.currentTimeMillis() is the standard "wall" clock (time and date) expressing milliseconds since the epoch. 
The wall clock can be set by the user or the phone network (see setCurrentTimeMillis(long)), so the time may jump backwards 
or forwards unpredictably. This clock should only be used when correspondence with real-world dates and times is important, 
such as in a calendar or alarm clock application. Interval or elapsed time measurements should use a different clock. If you 
are using System.currentTimeMillis(), consider listening to the ACTION_TIME_TICK, ACTION_TIME_CHANGED and ACTION_TIMEZONE_CHANGED 
Intent broadcasts to find out when the time changes.

所以.....它不适合用在需要时间间隔的地方，如Thread.sleep, Object.wait等，因为可以通过System.setCurrentTimeMillis来改变它的值。

 

再来看一下 uptimeMilles()

uptimeMillis() is counted in milliseconds since the system was booted. This clock stops when the system enters deep 
sleep (CPU off, display dark, device waiting for external input), but is not affected by clock scaling, idle, or 
other power saving mechanisms. This is the basis for most interval timing such as Thread.sleep(millls), 
Object.wait(millis), and System.nanoTime(). This clock is guaranteed to be monotonic, and is suitable for interval 
timing when the interval does not span device sleep. Most methods that accept a timestamp value currently expect 
the uptimeMillis() clock.

所以......SystemClock.uptimeMillis()适用于计算适合用在需要时间间隔的地方。

 

想了想自己自己以前写的时间间隔代码感觉...emmmmm
