Timing method and device

Abstract

The invention provides a timing method and device. The method includes the following steps that when a program starts to run, whether a timer function is contained in the program is detected in real time; when it is detected that the timer function is contained in the program, according to the type parameter carried by the timer function, the timing type to which a current timing task belongs is determined; according to the timing parameter carried by the timer function, the current task is executed by adopting a timing mode corresponding to the timing type. According to the timing method and device, common Android timers are divided into two timing types, namely a short-period timing type and a long-period timing type; developers do not need to master the use methods of various timers, just need to make it clear whether the short-period timing or the long-period timing is needed, and then well set the type parameter and timing parameter of the timer function; when the program starts to run, the timing type is automatically determined according to the type parameter of the timer function, the timing mode corresponding to the timing type is adopted, the use of the timer is simplified for the developers, the complexity of application development is reduced, and the difficulty of program maintenance is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a timing method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, developers often use timers in the process of Android development, and the Android system provides various timers. For example, the timer using the Handler (manager) and the sleep (sleep) method of the thread, the timer using the postDelayed (delay) method of the Handler, and the combination method of Handler and timer (timer) and TimerTask (timer task) Timer, and AlarmManager (global timer), etc. [0003] Due to the wide variety of timers provided by the Android system, developers need to spend a lot of time learning and mastering the use of various timers before using the timers, resulting in a high time cost for flexible use of timers. The use of multiple timers also leads to the complexity of the development program, making the developer's handling of the timer complex and changeable when develo...

[0003] Due to the wide variety of timers provided by the Android system, developers need to spend a lot of time learning and mastering the use of various timers before using the timers, resulting in a high time cost for flexible use of timers

The use of multiple timers also leads to the complexity of the development program, making the developer's handling of the timer complex and changeable when developing the program, and as the number of timers used in the program increases, the difficulty of program maintenance increases
