category与associative作为objective-c的扩展机制的两个特性,category即类型,可以通过它来扩展方法;associative,可以通过它来扩展属性;在iOS开发中,可能category比较常见,相对的associative,就用的比较少,要用它必须使用<objc/runtime.h>的头文件,然后就可以自由使用objc_getAssociatedObject以及objc_setAssociatedObject,我们来看下这两个方法:
OBJC_EXPORT
void objc_setAssociatedObject(
id
object,
const
void *key,
id value, objc_AssociationPolicy policy)
__OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING(__MAC_10_6, __IPHONE_3_1);
OBJC_EXPORT
id objc_getAssociatedObject(
id
object,
const
void *key)
__OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING(__MAC_10_6, __IPHONE_3_1);
另外还有一个方法:
OBJC_EXPORT
void objc_removeAssociatedObjects(
id
object)
__OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING(__MAC_10_6, __IPHONE_3_1);
objc_getAssociatedObject、objc_setAssociatedObject、objc_removeAssociatedObjects都是Obj-c中的外联方法,object 参数作为待扩展的对象实例,key作为该对象实例的属性的键,而value就是对象实例的属性的值,policy作为关联的策略,它的枚举包括:
enum {
OBJC_ASSOCIATION_ASSIGN =
0,
OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC =
1,
OBJC_ASSOCIATION_COPY_NONATOMIC =
3,
OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN =
01401,
OBJC_ASSOCIATION_COPY =
01403
};
具体我就多说了,可以看得懂的。
另外,objc_removeAssociatedObjects可以删除指定对象实例的所有扩展属性。
现在看一个简单的例子:(引用网上的例子:http://code4app.com/ios/Block-UI/504fe65d6803faa33f000003 )
这里,定义了一个"alert view"的按钮:
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[viewController.view addSubview:button];
button.frame = CGRectMake(
50,
50,
100,
44);
[button setTitle:
@"
alert view
" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
现在对UIButton通过使用category对其进行方法扩展:
@implementation UIControl (BUIControl)
…...
- (
void)handleControlEvent:(UIControlEvents)
event withBlock:(
void(^)(
id sender))block {
NSString *methodName = [UIControl eventName:
event];
NSMutableDictionary *opreations = (NSMutableDictionary*)objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &OperationKey);
if(opreations == nil)
{
opreations = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &OperationKey, opreations, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN);
}
[opreations setObject:block forKey:methodName];
[self addTarget:self action:NSSelectorFromString(methodName) forControlEvents:
event];
}
objc_getAssociatedObject,objc_setAssociatedObject进行属性扩展:
OperationKey是一个字符类型,这里表示一个键,如果Opreations为空,会setAssociatedObject一个新的opreations对象到对应键的值中间。
addTarget:action:forControlEvents对于触摸事件进行目标绑定。
NSSelectorFromString(methodName) 将触发方法:
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchDown{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchDown];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchDownRepeat{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchDownRepeat];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchDragInside{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchDragInside];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchDragOutside{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchDragOutside];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchDragEnter{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchDragEnter];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchDragExit{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchDragExit];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchUpInside{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchUpOutside{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchUpOutside];}
-(
void)UIControlEventTouchCancel{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventTouchCancel];}
-(
void)UIControlEventValueChanged{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventValueChanged];}
-(
void)UIControlEventEditingDidBegin{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventEditingDidBegin];}
-(
void)UIControlEventEditingChanged{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventEditingChanged];}
-(
void)UIControlEventEditingDidEnd{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventEditingDidEnd];}
-(
void)UIControlEventEditingDidEndOnExit{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventEditingDidEndOnExit];}
-(
void)UIControlEventAllTouchEvents{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventAllTouchEvents];}
-(
void)UIControlEventAllEditingEvents{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventAllEditingEvents];}
-(
void)UIControlEventApplicationReserved{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventApplicationReserved];}
-(
void)UIControlEventSystemReserved{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventSystemReserved];}
-(
void)UIControlEventAllEvents{[self callActionBlock:UIControlEventAllEvents];}
注意到这里会去执行callActionBlock:方法:
- (
void)callActionBlock:(UIControlEvents)
event {
NSMutableDictionary *opreations = (NSMutableDictionary*)objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &OperationKey);
if(opreations == nil)
return;
void(^block)(
id sender) = [opreations objectForKey:[UIControl eventName:
event]];
if (block) block(self);
}
最终会从扩展属性中得到^block,关于^block可以参考:http://blog.csdn.net/pjk1129/article/details/6577097
最后调用:
[button handleControlEvent:UIControlEventTouchUpInside withBlock:^(
id sender) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:
@"
alert
"
message:nil
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:
@"
ok
"
otherButtonTitles:
@"
other
",nil];
}];
点击按钮就会触发一个block函数。
这样就实现了objective-c的两种扩展机制。
