我想运行一个线程一段固定的时间。如果在该时间内没有完成,我想要终止它,抛出一些异常,或者以某种方式处理它。怎样才能做到呢?

我从这篇文章中找到了一种方法 是在线程的run()方法中使用一个TimerTask。

有没有更好的解决方案?

  编辑:添加赏金,因为我需要一个更明确的答案。下面给出的ExecutorService代码没有解决我的问题。为什么我应该在执行(一些代码-我没有处理这段代码)后睡觉()?如果代码完成并且sleep()被中断,那怎么可能是timeOut呢?

The task that needs to be executed is not in my control. It can be any piece of code. The problem is this piece of code might run into an infinite loop. I don't want that to happen. So, I just want to run that task in a separate thread. The parent thread has to wait till that thread finishes and needs to know the status of the task (i.e whether it timed out or some exception occured or if its a success). If the task goes into an infinite loop, my parent thread keeps on waiting indefinitely, which is not an ideal situation.


当前回答

考虑使用ExecutorService的实例。invokeAll()和invokeAny()方法都有一个超时参数。

当前线程将阻塞直到方法完成(不确定这是否是可取的),因为任务正常完成或达到超时。您可以检查返回的Future以确定发生了什么。

其他回答

对于任何旧任务,都没有100%可靠的方法来做到这一点。在编写任务时必须考虑到这种能力。

像ExecutorService这样的核心Java库通过工作线程上的interrupt()调用取消异步任务。因此,例如,如果任务包含某种类型的循环,您应该在每次迭代中检查它的中断状态。如果任务执行的是I/O操作,那么它们也应该是可中断的——设置这一点可能很棘手。在任何情况下,请记住代码必须主动检查中断;设置中断并不一定会起任何作用。

当然,如果您的任务是一些简单的循环,您可以在每次迭代中检查当前时间,并在指定的超时时间过去时放弃。在这种情况下不需要工作线程。

我给你一段代码,它展示了如何解决这个问题的方法。 例如,我正在读取一个文件。 您可以将此方法用于另一个操作,但需要实现kill()方法,以便主操作将被中断。

希望能有所帮助

问候

有一件事我没有看到提到的是,杀死线程通常是一个坏主意。有一些技术可以使线程方法完全可中止,但这与在超时后杀死线程是不同的。

您所建议的风险在于,您可能不知道当您终止线程时线程将处于什么状态—因此您可能会引入不稳定性。更好的解决方案是确保线程代码不会自动挂起,或者能够很好地响应中止请求。

我认为答案主要取决于任务本身。

是一遍又一遍地做一个任务吗? 超时是否有必要在过期后立即中断当前正在运行的任务?

如果第一个答案是肯定的,第二个答案是否定的,你可以这样简单地回答:

public class Main {

    private static final class TimeoutTask extends Thread {
        private final long _timeoutMs;
        private Runnable _runnable;

        private TimeoutTask(long timeoutMs, Runnable runnable) {
            _timeoutMs = timeoutMs;
            _runnable = runnable;
        }

        @Override
        public void run() {
            long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            while (System.currentTimeMillis() < (start + _timeoutMs)) {
                _runnable.run();
            }
            System.out.println("execution took " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) +" ms");
        }

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        new TimeoutTask(2000L, new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                System.out.println("doing something ...");
                try {
                    // pretend it's taking somewhat longer than it really does
                    Thread.sleep(100);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    throw new RuntimeException(e);
                }
            }
        }).start();
    }
}

如果这不是一个选项,请缩小您的需求-或显示一些代码。

现在,我遇到了这样的问题。它恰好解码图片。解码过程耗时太长,导致屏幕黑屏。l添加一个时间控制器:当时间太长时,从当前线程中弹出。 差异如下:

   ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
   Future<Bitmap> future = executor.submit(new Callable<Bitmap>() {
       @Override
       public Bitmap call() throws Exception {
       Bitmap bitmap = decodeAndScaleBitmapFromStream(context, inputUri);// do some time consuming operation
       return null;
            }
       });
       try {
           Bitmap result = future.get(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       } catch (TimeoutException e){
           future.cancel(true);
       }
       executor.shutdown();
       return (bitmap!= null);
