Brief analysis of Android 'asynctask'

A brief analysis of AsyncTask

Classic asynchronous task: AsyncTask. Scenarios include batch download, batch copy, etc. The official document directly gives an example of bulk downloading.

    private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, Long> {
       protected Long doInBackground(URL... urls) {
           int count = urls.length;
           long totalSize = 0;
           for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
               totalSize += Downloader.downloadFile(urls[i]);
               publishProgress((int) ((i / (float) count) * 100));
               // Escape early if cancel() is called
               if (isCancelled()) break;
           }
           return totalSize;
       }
  
       protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
           setProgressPercent(progress[0]);
       }
  
       protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
           showDialog("Downloaded " + result + " bytes");
       }
   }

    // Once created, a task is executed very simply:
    new DownloadFilesTask().execute(url1, url2, url3);

Here are a few classic questions in AsyncTask:

1. How many threads does AsyncTask have?
2. How does AsyncTask implement thread scheduling?

Well, I think of these two questions. The first problem, obviously, is the pit. The answer is unknown. Look at the number of CPUs on the phone.

private static final int CPU_COUNT = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();
// We want at least 2 threads and at most 4 threads in the core pool,
// preferring to have 1 less than the CPU count to avoid saturating
// the CPU with background work
private static final int CORE_POOL_SIZE = Math.max(2, Math.min(CPU_COUNT - 1, 4));
private static final int MAXIMUM_POOL_SIZE = CPU_COUNT * 2 + 1;

Then there is the second question. The simple answer is a sentence, which starts the thread to execute the specific logic, and then sends the result to the main thread through the handler.

If you trace further, you will find that AsyncTask = ThreadPoolExecutor + Handler.

As can be seen from the source code, AsyncTask has completed all preparations in the construction method.

• MainHandler has been created.

• FutureTask is ready. (to be honest, FutureTask is so sad that it makes people spit blood.)

       public AsyncTask(@Nullable Looper callbackLooper) {
       mHandler = callbackLooper == null || callbackLooper == Looper.getMainLooper()
           ? getMainHandler()
           : new Handler(callbackLooper);
  
       mWorker = new WorkerRunnable<Params, Result>() {
           public Result call() throws Exception {
               mTaskInvoked.set(true);
               Result result = null;
               try {
                   Process.setThreadPriority(Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
                   //noinspection unchecked
                   result = doInBackground(mParams);  // Mparam core logic
                   Binder.flushPendingCommands();
               } catch (Throwable tr) {
                   mCancelled.set(true);
                   throw tr;
               } finally {
                   postResult(result);  // Core logic
               }
               return result;
           }
       };
  
       mFuture = new FutureTask<Result>(mWorker) {
           @Override
           protected void done() {
               try {
                   postResultIfNotInvoked(get());  // get() 
               } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                   android.util.Log.w(LOG_TAG, e);
               } catch (ExecutionException e) {
                   throw new RuntimeException("An error occurred while executing doInBackground()",
                           e.getCause());
               } catch (CancellationException e) {
                   postResultIfNotInvoked(null);
               }
           }
       };
   }
