Android通过RemoteViews实现跨进程更新UI示例

一、概述

前面一篇文章Android通过AIDL实现跨进程更新UI我们学习了aidl跨进程更新ui，这种传统方式实现跨进程更新UI是可行的，但有以下弊端：

• View中的方法数比较多，在IPC中需要增加对应的方法比较繁琐。
• View的每一个方法都会涉及到IPC操作，多次IPC带来的开销问题不容小觑。
• View中方法的某些参数可能不支持IPC传输。例如：OnClickListener，它仅仅是个接口没有序列化。

接下来我们通过RemoteViews实现跨进程更新UI

二、实现效果图

在同一个应用中有两个Activity，MainActivity和Temp2Activity，这两个Activity不在同一个进程中。

现在需要通过Temp2Activity来改变MainActivity中的视图，即在MainActivity中添加两个Button，也就是实现跨进程更新UI这么一个功能。

在MainActivity里点击“跳转到新进程ACTIVITY”按钮，会启动一个新进程的Temp2Activity，我们先点击“绑定服务”，这样我们就启动了服务，再点击“AIDL更新”按钮，通过调用handler来实现跨进程更新UI，点击返回，我们发现MainActivity页面中新添加了两个按钮，并且按钮还具有点击事件。

三、核心代码

IremoteViewsManager.aidl

里面提供了两个方法，一个是根据id更新TextView里面的内容，一个是根据id添加view视图

// IremoteViewsManager.aidl.aidl
package com.czhappy.remoteviewdemo;

interface IremoteViewsManager {
  void addRemoteView(in RemoteViews remoteViews);
}

RemoteViewsAIDLService.Java

package com.czhappy.remoteviewdemo.service;

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Binder;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.Message;
import android.os.RemoteException;
import android.widget.RemoteViews;

import com.czhappy.remoteviewdemo.IremoteViewsManager;
import com.czhappy.remoteviewdemo.activity.MainActivity;

/**

 */
public class RemoteViewsAIDLService extends Service {
  private static final String TAG = "RemoteViewsAIDLService";

  private Binder remoteViewsBinder = new IremoteViewsManager.Stub(){
    @Override
    public void addRemoteView(RemoteViews remoteViews) throws RemoteException {
      Message message = new Message();
      message.what = 1;
      Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
      bundle.putParcelable("remoteViews",remoteViews);
      message.setData(bundle);
      new MainActivity.MyHandler(RemoteViewsAIDLService.this,getMainLooper()).sendMessage(message);
    }
  };

  public RemoteViewsAIDLService() {

  }

  @Override
  public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    return remoteViewsBinder;
  }

}

MainActivity.java

package com.czhappy.remoteviewdemo.activity;

import android.content.Context;

import com.czhappy.remoteviewdemo.R;

import java.lang.ref.WeakReference;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

  private static String TAG = "MainActivity";
  private static LinearLayout mLinearLayout;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mLinearLayout = (LinearLayout) this.findViewById(R.id.mylayout);
  }

  public static class MyHandler extends Handler {
    WeakReference weakReference;
    public MyHandler(Context context, Looper looper) {
      super(looper);
      weakReference = new WeakReference<>(context);
    }
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
      super.handleMessage(msg);
      Log.i(TAG, "handleMessage");
      switch (msg.what) {
        case 1: //RemoteViews的AIDL实现
          RemoteViews remoteViews = msg.getData().getParcelable("remoteViews");
          if (remoteViews != null) {
            Log.i(TAG, "updateUI");

            View view = remoteViews.apply(weakReference.get(), mLinearLayout);
            mLinearLayout.addView(view);
          }
          break;
        default:
          break;
      }
    }

  };

  public void readyGo(View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Temp2Activity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
  }

}

Temp2Activity.java

package com.czhappy.remoteviewdemo.activity;

import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

  private boolean isBind = false;


  private ServiceConnection remoteViewServiceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
    @Override

      Log.i(TAG,"onServiceConnected");
      remoteViewsManager = IremoteViewsManager.Stub.asInterface(service);

    }

    @Override

    }
  };

  @Override

    this.setContentView(R.layout.activity_temp);
  }

  /**

  public void bindService(View view) {
    Intent viewServiceIntent = new Intent(this,RemoteViewsAIDLService.class);
    isBind = bindService(viewServiceIntent,remoteViewServiceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
  }

  /**

   */
  public void UpdateUI(View view){
    RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(Temp2Activity.this.getPackageName(),R.layout.button_layout);

    Intent intentClick = new Intent(Temp2Activity.this,FirstActivity.class);
    PendingIntent openFirstActivity = PendingIntent.getActivity(Temp2Activity.this,0,intentClick,0);
    remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.firstButton,openFirstActivity);

    Intent secondClick = new Intent(Temp2Activity.this,SecondActivity.class);
    PendingIntent openSecondActivity = PendingIntent.getActivity(Temp2Activity.this,0,secondClick,0);
    remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.secondButton,openSecondActivity);

    remoteViews.setCharSequence(R.id.secondButton,"setText","想改就改");
    try {
      remoteViewsManager.addRemoteView(remoteViews);
    } catch (RemoteException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  @Override
  protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    if(isBind){
      unbindService(remoteViewServiceConnection);
      isBind = false;
    }

  }

}

AndroidManifest.xml

四、总结

RemoteViews就是为跨进程更新UI而生的，内部封装了很多方法用来实现跨进程更新UI。但这并不代表RemoteViews是就是万能的了，它也有不足之处，目前支持的布局和View有限

layout：

FrameLayout LinearLayout RelativeLayout GridLayout

View：

AnalogClock button Chronometer ImageButton ImageView ProgressBar TextView ViewFlipper ListView GridView StackView AdapterViewFlipper ViewStub

不支持自定义View 所以具体使用RemoteViews还是aidl或者BroadCastReceiver还得看实际的需求。
