异步加载图片

关键搜索词：AsyncTask，WeakReference，SoftReference，LinkedHashMap，ConcurrentHashMap

从网络下载一张图片是很简单的，运用HTTP类就可以完成，如下例子：

static Bitmap downloadBitmap(String url) {
    final AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("Android");
    final HttpGet getRequest = new HttpGet(url);

    try {
        HttpResponse response = client.execute(getRequest);
        final int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
        if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) { 
            Log.w("ImageDownloader", "Error " + statusCode + " while retrieving bitmap from " + url); 
            return null;
        }
        
        final HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        if (entity != null) {
            InputStream inputStream = null;
            try {
                inputStream = entity.getContent(); 
                final Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
                return bitmap;
            } finally {
                if (inputStream != null) {
                    inputStream.close();  
                }
                entity.consumeContent();
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // Could provide a more explicit error message for IOException or IllegalStateException
        getRequest.abort();
        Log.w("ImageDownloader", "Error while retrieving bitmap from " + url, e.toString());
    } finally {
        if (client != null) {
            client.close();
        }
    }
    return null;
}

而如果图片多了，主线程不能一直等待图片下载全部完成，故异步加载就极为重要。

异步加载：AsyncTask可以轻松使用UI线程，能够允许在后台操作，然后将结果返回到UI线程上

而不需要使用复杂的线程或者Handlers

AsyncTask官网使用4步骤：

　1.onPreExecute() 在UI线程上调用之前执行任务。

 　2.doINBackground(Params...) 当OnPreExecute完成执行后此方法在后台执行。返回结果必须返回到这一步，最后被传递到最后一步。


  3.onProgressUpdate(Progress...) 当publishProgress(Progress...)执行之后在UI线程上

执行。当后台仍然在下载时，这个方法被用来显示任何progress在用户界面上。

4.onPostExecute(Result) 当后台程序执行结束才执行，后台程序的结果将进入这一步。

class BitmapDownloaderTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
    private String url;
    private final WeakReference<ImageView> imageViewReference;

    public BitmapDownloaderTask(ImageView imageView) {
        imageViewReference = new WeakReference<ImageView>(imageView);
    }

    @Override
    // Actual download method, run in the task thread
    protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... params) {
         // params comes from the execute() call: params[0] is the url.
         return downloadBitmap(params[0]);
    }

    @Override
    // Once the image is downloaded, associates it to the imageView
    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap bitmap) {
        if (isCancelled()) {
            bitmap = null;
        }

        if (imageViewReference != null) {
            ImageView imageView = imageViewReference.get();
            if (imageView != null) {
                imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }
        }
    }
}

并发操作：

static class DownloadedDrawable extends ColorDrawable {
    private final WeakReference<BitmapDownloaderTask> bitmapDownloaderTaskReference;

    public DownloadedDrawable(BitmapDownloaderTask bitmapDownloaderTask) {
        super(Color.BLACK);
        bitmapDownloaderTaskReference =
            new WeakReference<BitmapDownloaderTask>(bitmapDownloaderTask);
    }

    public BitmapDownloaderTask getBitmapDownloaderTask() {
        return bitmapDownloaderTaskReference.get();
    }
}

public void download(String url, ImageView imageView) {
     if (cancelPotentialDownload(url, imageView)) {
         BitmapDownloaderTask task = new BitmapDownloaderTask(imageView);
         DownloadedDrawable downloadedDrawable = new DownloadedDrawable(task);
         imageView.setImageDrawable(downloadedDrawable);
         task.execute(url, cookie);
     }
}

private static boolean cancelPotentialDownload(String url, ImageView imageView) {
    BitmapDownloaderTask bitmapDownloaderTask = getBitmapDownloaderTask(imageView);

    if (bitmapDownloaderTask != null) {
        String bitmapUrl = bitmapDownloaderTask.url;
        if ((bitmapUrl == null) || (!bitmapUrl.equals(url))) {
            bitmapDownloaderTask.cancel(true);
        } else {
            // The same URL is already being downloaded.
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

private static BitmapDownloaderTask getBitmapDownloaderTask(ImageView imageView) {
    if (imageView != null) {
        Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
        if (drawable instanceof DownloadedDrawable) {
            DownloadedDrawable downloadedDrawable = (DownloadedDrawable)drawable;
            return downloadedDrawable.getBitmapDownloaderTask();
        }
    }
    return null;
}
