11.3 Android中的线程池

线程池优点：

1. 重用线程，避免创建、销毁线程的开销；
2. 有效控制线程最大并发数，避免大量线程之间相互抢占系统资源而导致的阻塞现象。
3. 能够对线程进行简单管理，并提供定时执行和循环执行等功能。

interface Executor
class ThreadPoolExecutor implements Executor;

11.3.1 ThreadPoolExecutor

构造方法

    /**
     * Creates a new {@code ThreadPoolExecutor} with the given initial
     * parameters and default rejected execution handler.
     *
     * @param corePoolSize the number of threads to keep in the pool, even
     *        if they are idle, unless {@code allowCoreThreadTimeOut} is set
     * @param maximumPoolSize the maximum number of threads to allow in the
     *        pool
     * @param keepAliveTime when the number of threads is greater than
     *        the core, this is the maximum time that excess idle threads
     *        will wait for new tasks before terminating.
     * @param unit the time unit for the {@code keepAliveTime} argument
     * @param workQueue the queue to use for holding tasks before they are
     *        executed.  This queue will hold only the {@code Runnable}
     *        tasks submitted by the {@code execute} method.
     * @param threadFactory the factory to use when the executor
     *        creates a new thread
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if one of the following holds:<br>
     *         {@code corePoolSize < 0}<br>
     *         {@code keepAliveTime < 0}<br>
     *         {@code maximumPoolSize <= 0}<br>
     *         {@code maximumPoolSize < corePoolSize}
     * @throws NullPointerException if {@code workQueue}
     *         or {@code threadFactory} is null
     */
    public ThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize,
                              int maximumPoolSize,
                              long keepAliveTime,
                              TimeUnit unit,
                              BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue,
                              ThreadFactory threadFactory) {
        this(corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime, unit, workQueue,
             threadFactory, defaultHandler);
    }

corePoolSize

 * When a new task is submitted in method {@link #execute(Runnable)},
 * and fewer than corePoolSize threads are running, a new thread is
 * created to handle the request, even if other worker threads are
 * idle.  If there are more than corePoolSize but less than
 * maximumPoolSize threads running, a new thread will be created only
 * if the queue is full.

11.3.2 线程池分类

Executors可以方便的产生下面几种线程池。

1. FixedThreadPool
   核心线程开启后，不会被回收，能够更加快速的响应外界请求。

    public static ExecutorService newFixedThreadPool(int nThreads) {
        return new ThreadPoolExecutor(nThreads, nThreads,
                                      0L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS,
                                      new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>());
    }

2. CachedThreadPool
   适合执行大量的耗时较少的任务。
   当整个线程池都处于闲置状态时，几乎不占用系统资源。

    public static ExecutorService newCachedThreadPool() {
        return new ThreadPoolExecutor(0, Integer.MAX_VALUE,
                                      60L, TimeUnit.SECONDS,
                                      new SynchronousQueue<Runnable>());
    }

3. ScheduledThreadPool
   核心线程数固定，非核心线程数没有限制。
   适合执行定时任务或固定周期的重复任务。

    public ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize) {
        super(corePoolSize, Integer.MAX_VALUE,
              DEFAULT_KEEPALIVE_MILLIS, MILLISECONDS,
              new DelayedWorkQueue());
    }

4. SingleThreadExecutor

    public static ExecutorService newSingleThreadExecutor() {
        return new FinalizableDelegatedExecutorService
            (new ThreadPoolExecutor(1, 1,
                                    0L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS,
                                    new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>()));
    }
