android-tiny-task

A tiny asynchronized task library for android.

Solution

1. we should avoid to use thread, runnable, handler, and AsyncTask;
2. we should use thread pool executors to handle threads;
3. we will handle background thread and UI thread, and their interactions, even frequently;
4. simple and easy to use, focus lifecycle and avoid OOM.

Function

1. handle asynchronized task in background;
2. handle asynchronized task first in background and then to front;
3. handle asynchronized task with delay;
4. cancel handle asynchronized task.
5. set task priority.

Technology

1. Desing Pattern
   1. Singleton Pattern
   2. static
2. Skill Point
   1. ExecutorService
   2. synchronized
   3. Callable
   4. FutureTask
   5. Handler
   6. Runnable

Usage

1. only run in background TinyTaskExecutor.execute(new SimpleTask() { ... });
2. run in background and then go back to main ui; TinyTaskExecutor.execute(new AdvancedTask() { ... });
3. run with delay TinyTaskExecutor.execute(task, 5000);
4. remove delay task TinyTaskExecutor.removeTask(task);
5. check a task(not recommend) TinyTaskExecutor.check();
6. post to main thread TinyTaskExecutor.postToMainThread(runnable, 2000);
7. remove post to main thread TinyTaskExecutor.removeMainThreadRunnable(delayRunnable);
8. set task priority new TestTask(TinyTaskExecutor.PRIORITY_LOWEST); TinyTaskExecutor.execute(s1);

TODO

1. to cancel when overtime has come;
2. schedule task;
3. (done in 20190105) task priority;
4. (done in 20190119) BlockQueue;
5. (done in 20190119) customized thread pool and queue;
