Android之view重绘

android中实现view的更新有两组方法，一组是invalidate，另一组是postInvalidate，其中前者是在UI线程自身中使用，而后者在非UI线程中使用。
以下是我在android文档中找到的说明，
[quote]
public void invalidate()
Invalidate the whole view. If the view is visible, onDraw(Canvas) will be called at some point in the future. This must be called from a UI thread. To call from a non-UI thread, call postInvalidate().

public void postInvalidate ()
Cause an invalidate to happen on a subsequent cycle through the event loop. Use this to invalidate the View from a non-UI thread.

google的文档的说明实在是简单，往往看了开发中都会遇到这两个问题:
1. 没有任何异常，view没能刷新。
2. android应用异常终止，打开logcat会看到这样的异常信息, [color=red]Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views。[/color]

最后，通过查文档，上网查询才知道，invalidate和postInvalidate方法需要使用android提供的handler,才能实现重绘，而在文档的说明中却只字不提，真是简单啊。具体是在需要重绘的地方调用handler的sendMessage方法发送消息，紧接着会os会触发handler中的handlerMessage方法，在handlerMessage方法中再调用view的invalidate或者postInvalidate方法就能实现重绘。

下面是我分别针对invalidate方法，给出view重绘代码，仅供参考：

class CustomizeView extends WhichView {

	public CustomizeView(Context context) {
		super(context);
		final Handler handler = new Handler();

		new Thread(new Runnable() {
			@Override
			public void run() {
				// delay some minutes you desire.
				/*try {
					Thread.sleep(3000);
				} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				}*/
				handler.post(new Runnable() {
					public void run() {
						concreteUpdateUI();
						invalidate();
					}
				});
			}
		}).start();
	}

	protected void concreteUpdateUI() {
		// Add concrete movement for UI updates.
		// ...
	}
}

或者这样实现也可以。

class CustomizeView extends TextView {

	public CustomizeView(Context context) {
		super(context);
		new Thread(new UIUpdateThread()).start();
	}

	class UIUpdateThread implements Runnable {
		final Handler mHandler = new Handler();

		final Runnable mUpdateResults = new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				concreteUpdateUI();
				invalidate();
			}
		};

		public void run() {
			// delay some minutes you desire. 
			/*try {
				Thread.sleep(1000 * 5);
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}*/
			mHandler.post(mUpdateResults);
		}

	}

	protected void concreteUpdateUI() {
		// Add concrete movement for UI updates.  
		// ...  
	}

}
