CountDownTimer的用法及原理

1.主线程中使用

值得注意的是，CountDownTimer可以在主线程中直接使用。验证一下回调的执行线程。在主线程中执行如下代码

CountDownTimer countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(1000L * 30, 1000L) {
            @Override
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                // your logic for tick
                Log.i("TEST", "onTick - " + Thread.currentThread() + ", id - " + Thread.currentThread().getId());
            }
 
            @Override
            public void onFinish() {
                // your logic for finish
 
                Log.i("TEST", "onFinish" + Thread.currentThread() + ", id - " + Thread.currentThread().getId());
            }
};
countDownTimer.start();

02-24 14:05:43.546 30358 30358 I TEST    : onFinishThread[main,5,main], id - 1

可见，回调执行在主线程，这也就意味着可以在回调中直接处理UI，还是很方便的。

2.在工作线程中使用

不能在工作线程中像主线程一样简单使用的原因，是CountDownTimer是基于Handler的，细节将在原理部分说明。主线程已经由安卓框架层启动了消息循环，所以可以直接使用。那么在工作线程中怎样使用呢？可以借助于HanderThread。在onLooperPrepared()中初始化并开启CountDownTimer：

new HandlerThread("TestThread") {
    protected void onLooperPrepared() {
        CountDownTimer countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(1000L * 30, 1000L) {
            @Override
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                // your logic for tick
                Log.i("TEST", "onTick - " + Thread.currentThread() + ", id - " + Thread.currentThread().getId());
            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {
                // your logic for finish
                Log.i("TEST", "onFinish" + Thread.currentThread() + ", id - " + Thread.currentThread().getId());
            }
        };
        countDownTimer.start();
    }
}.start();

执行log如下：
