从我在Java中使用线程的时间来看,我发现了两种编写线程的方法:
使用可运行的机具:
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
//Code
}
}
//Started with a "new Thread(new MyRunnable()).start()" call
或者,使用扩展线程:
public class MyThread extends Thread {
public MyThread() {
super("MyThread");
}
public void run() {
//Code
}
}
//Started with a "new MyThread().start()" call
这两个代码块有什么显著的区别吗?
对于大多数工作线程来说,最好的方法是将线程完全封装在工作线程类中,这样就不会有任何外部干扰,导致不需要的和无效的线程/类状态。
我刚刚发布了一个示例,因此我也将与您分享:
/**
* This worker can only run once
* @author JayC667
*/
public class ProperThreading {
private final Thread mThread = new Thread(() -> runWorkingLoop()); // if you want worker to be able to run multiple times, move initialisation into startThread()
private volatile boolean mThreadStarted = false;
private volatile boolean mStopRequested = false;
private final long mLoopSleepTime;
public ProperThreading(final long pLoopSleepTime /* pass more arguments here, store in members */ ) {
mLoopSleepTime = pLoopSleepTime;
}
public synchronized void startThread() {
if (mThreadStarted) throw new IllegalStateException("Worker Thread may only be started once and is already running!");
mThreadStarted = true;
mThread.start();
}
private void runWorkingLoop() {
while (!mStopRequested /* && other checks */ ) {
try {
// do the magic work here
Thread.sleep(mLoopSleepTime);
} catch (final InterruptedException e) {
break;
} catch (final Exception e) {
// do at least some basic handling here, you should NEVER ignore exception unless you know exactly what you're doing, and then it should be commented!
}
}
}
public synchronized void stopThread() {
if (!mThreadStarted) throw new IllegalStateException("Worker Thread is not even running yet!");
mStopRequested = true;
mThread.interrupt();
}
}
随着Java8的发布,现在有了第三个选项。
Runnable是一个函数接口,这意味着可以使用lambda表达式或方法引用创建它的实例。
您的示例可以替换为:
new Thread(() -> { /* Code here */ }).start()
或者如果要使用ExecutorService和方法引用:
executor.execute(runner::run)
这些不仅比示例要短得多,而且还具有其他答案中所述的使用Runnable over Thread的许多优点,例如单一责任和使用组合,因为您没有专门处理线程的行为。如果您只需要一个Runnable,那么这种方法也可以避免创建一个额外的类。
