IntentService

 

IntentService是一个继承自Service的抽象类，要使用它就要创建它的子类。IntentService适合执行一些高优先级的后台任务，这样不容易被系统杀死。IntentService的onCreate方法中会创建HandlerThread，并使用HandlerThread的Looper来构造一个Handler对象ServiceHandler，这样通过ServiceHandler对象发送的消息最终都会在HandlerThread中执行。IntentService会将Intent封装到Message中，通过ServiceHandler发送出去，在ServiceHandler的handleMessage方法中会调用IntentService的抽象方法onHandleIntent，所以IntentService的子类都要是实现这个方法。

 

限制你的service的最好办法是使用IntentService， 它会在处理完交代给它的intent任务之后尽快结束自己。

IntentService特征：

1. 会创建独立的worker线程来处理所有的Intent请求； 
2. 会创建独立的worker线程来处理onHandleIntent()方法实现的代码，无需处理多线程问题； 
3. 所有请求处理完成后，IntentService会自动停止，无需调用stopSelf()方法停止Service； 
4. 为Service的onBind()提供默认实现，返回null； 
5. 为Service的onStartCommand提供默认实现，将请求Intent添加到队列中； 

 

 

Running in a Background Service：http://developer.android.com/training/run-background-service/index.html

 

The IntentService class provides a straightforward structure for running an operation on a single background thread. This allows it to handle long-running operations without affecting your user interface's responsiveness. 

 

1. publicclassRSSPullService extends IntentService{
2.     @Override
3.     protectedvoid onHandleIntent(Intent workIntent){
4.         // Gets data from the incoming Intent
5.         String dataString = workIntent.getDataString();
6.         ...
7.         // Do work here, based on the contents of dataString
8.         ...
9.     }
10. }

 

1.     <!--
2.             Because android:exported is set to "false",
3.             the service is only available to this app.
4.         -->
5.         <service
6.             android:name=".RSSPullService"
7.             android:exported="false"/>

Notice that the <service> element doesn't contain an intent filter.

1. Intent mServiceIntent =newIntent(getActivity(),RSSPullService.class);
2. mServiceIntent.setData(Uri.parse(dataUrl));
3. getActivity().startService(mServiceIntent);

to report the status of the request in an Activity object's UI. The recommended way to send and receive status is to use a LocalBroadcastManager, which limits broadcast Intent objects to components in your own app.

1. /*
2.      * Creates a new Intent containing a Uri object
3.      * BROADCAST_ACTION is a custom Intent action
4.      */
5.     Intent localIntent =
6.             newIntent(Constants.BROADCAST_ACTION)
7.             // Puts the status into the Intent
8.             .putExtra(Constants.EXTENDED_DATA_STATUS, status);
9.     // Broadcasts the Intent to receivers in this app.
10.     LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(localIntent);

 

 

To receive broadcast Intent objects, use a subclass of BroadcastReceiver. In the subclass, implement the BroadcastReceiver.onReceive() callback method, which LocalBroadcastManager invokes when it receives an Intent. LocalBroadcastManager passes the incoming Intent to BroadcastReceiver.onReceive().
