存在的问题

Android开发中不可避免的会遇到需要检查app何时进入前台,何时被用户关闭。奇怪的是,要达到这个目的并不容易。检查app第一次启动并不难,但要判断它何时重新打开和关闭就没有那么简单了。

这篇文章将介绍一种判断app打开,重新打开和关闭的技术。

让我们开始吧

判断一个app打开和关闭的关键在于判断它的activities是否正在前台显示。让我们先从简单的例子开始,一个只有一个activity的app,而且不支持水平模式。这样想要判断app是打开还是关闭只需要检查activity的onStart和onStop方法即可:


@Override  protected void onStart() {      super.onStart();      // The Application has been opened!  }    @Override  protected void onStop() {      super.onStop();      // The Application has been closed!  }



上面例子的问题在于当需要支持水平模式时该方法就失效了。当我们旋转设备时activity将会重建,onStart方法将被再次调用,这时将会错误的判断为app第二次被打开。

为了处理设备旋转的情况,我们需要增加一个校验步骤。当activity退出时启动一个定时器,用于判断短时间内app的这个activity是否又被启动,如果没有,说明用户真的退出了这个app,如果重新启动了这个activity,说明用户还逗留在这个app中。

这种校验方式也适用于拥有多个activities的app,因为从app的一个activity跳转到另一个activity也可以用这种校验方式来处理。

使用这个技术我创建了一个管理类,所有的activities在可见和不可见时都会通知这个管理类。这个管理类为每个activity处理上述的校验步骤,从而避免错误的检测。它也提供了发布订阅(观察者)模式,任何对app启动和关闭感兴趣的模块都可以通过它来得到对应的通知。

这个管理类的使用分为三个步骤:

1)把它添加到你的工程中

AppForegroundState.IN_FOREGROUND : AppForegroundState.NOT_IN_FOREGROUND;            /* If the new state is different then the old state the notify subscribers of the state change */          if (mAppForegroundState != oldState) {              validateThenNotifyListeners();          }      }        /**       * Add a listener to be notified of app foreground state change events.       *       * @param listener       */      public void addListener(@NonNull OnAppForegroundStateChangeListener listener) {          mListeners.add(listener);      }        /**       * Remove a listener from being notified of app foreground state change events.       *       * @param listener       */      public void removeListener(OnAppForegroundStateChangeListener listener) {          mListeners.remove(listener);      }        /** Notify all listeners the app foreground state has changed */      private void notifyListeners(AppForegroundState newState) {          android.util.Log.i(TAG, "Notifying subscribers that app just entered state: " + newState);            for (OnAppForegroundStateChangeListener listener : mListeners) {              listener.onAppForegroundStateChange(newState);          }      }        /**       * This method will notify subscribes that the foreground state has changed when and if appropriate.       * <br><br>       * We do not want to just notify listeners right away when the app enters of leaves the foreground.

To accomplish this a delayed message will be       * Sent when we detect a change. We will not notify that a foreground change happened until the delay time has been reached. If a second       * foreground change is detected during the delay period then the notification will be canceled.       */      private void validateThenNotifyListeners() {          // If the app has any pending notifications then throw out the event as the state change has failed validation          if (mHandler.hasMessages(MESSAGE_NOTIFY_LISTENERS)) {              android.util.Log.v(TAG, "Validation Failed: Throwing out app foreground state change notification");              mHandler.removeMessages(MESSAGE_NOTIFY_LISTENERS);          } else {              if (mAppForegroundState == AppForegroundState.IN_FOREGROUND) {                  // If the app entered the foreground then notify listeners right away; there is no validation time for this                  mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(MESSAGE_NOTIFY_LISTENERS);              } else {                  // We need to validate that the app entered the background. A delay is used to allow for time when the application went into the                  // background but we do not want to consider the app being backgrounded such as for in app purchasing flow and full screen ads.                  mHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(MESSAGE_NOTIFY_LISTENERS, APP_CLOSED_VALIDATION_TIME_IN_MS);              }          }      }        private class NotifyListenersHandler extends Handler {          private NotifyListenersHandler(Looper looper) {              super(looper);          }            @Override          public void handleMessage(Message inputMessage) {              switch (inputMessage.what) {                  // The decoding is done                  case MESSAGE_NOTIFY_LISTENERS:                      /* Notify subscribers of the state change */                      android.util.Log.v(TAG, "App just changed foreground state to: " + mAppForegroundState);                      notifyListeners(mAppForegroundState);                      break;                  default:                      super.handleMessage(inputMessage);              }          }      }  }



2)Activities在可见性改变的需要发送通知

app中所有activities都要增加下面的代码,用于可见性改变时通知管理类。最好的实现方式是把这段代码加到工程的BaseActivity中。

@Override  protected void onStart() {      super.onStart();      AppForegroundStateManager.getInstance().onActivityVisible(this);  }    @Override  protected void onStop() {      AppForegroundStateManager.getInstance().onActivityNotVisible(this);      super.onStop();  }



3)订阅app的前台可见性改变事件

在感兴趣的模块中订阅app前台可见性改变事件,application类的onCreate函数是一个不错的地方,它可以保证每次app启动和关闭,你都能得到通知。

public class MyApplication extends Application {      @Override      public void onCreate() {          super.onCreate();          AppForegroundStateManager.getInstance().addListener(this);      }        @Override      public void onAppForegroundStateChange(AppForegroundStateManager.AppForegroundState newState) {          if (AppForegroundStateManager.AppForegroundState.IN_FOREGROUND == newState) {              // App just entered the foreground. Do something here!          } else {              // App just entered the background. Do something here!          }      }    }



进一步的思考

有一些细节需要进一步讨论,下面讨论的几点针对具体的应用可以做微调。

校验时间

校验定时器检查app是否真的进入后台的时间间隔是多少合适呢?上面的代码设置为30秒,原因如下。

当你的app在运行时,可能存在第三方的activities会覆盖全屏幕,一些常见的例子是Google应用内购买和非死book登录注册页面。这些情况下你的app都会被迫进入后台,前台用于显示这些第三方页面。如果把这种情况当做用户离开了你的app,显然是不对的。30秒超时设置就是用来避免这种情况的。例如当用户在30秒内完成应用内购买,大部分用户都可以做得到,那么就不会当做用户突然离开app了。

如果你的app不存在上述这种情况,我建议可以把你的校验时间设置为4秒,这样对于低配设备当屏幕旋转重新创建activity的时间间隔是合适的。

CPU休眠

可能存在的问题是当用户关闭app或者app仍处于前台时用户锁屏了,这时CPU可能不会等到定时器检测就休眠了。为了保证这种情况下定时器能够正常检测用户退出app,我们需要持有wakelock防止CPU休眠直到app关闭事件被确认。实践中相比使用wakelock,这种情况并不算问题。

判断app是如何启动的

现在我们已经知道如何检测app何时启动和关闭,但我们不知道app是如何启动的。是用户点击通知栏消息?还是点击一个链接?亦或是他们直接通过桌面图标或最近使用启动?

跟踪启动机制

首先我们需要知道在哪里检测app是如何启动的。基于前面一个例子我们可以打印出app何时启动,以及如何启动。

public class MyApplication extends Application {      public final String TAG = MyApplication.class.getSimpleName();        public enum LaunchMechanism {          DIRECT,          NOTIFICATION,          URL;      }        private LaunchMechanism mLaunchMechanism = LaunchMechanism.DIRECT;        public void setLaunchMechanism(LaunchMechanism launchMechanism) {          mLaunchMechanism = launchMechanism;      }        @Override      public void onCreate() {          super.onCreate();          AppForegroundStateManager.getInstance().addListener(this);      }        @Override      public void onAppForegroundStateChange(AppForegroundStateManager.AppForegroundState newState) {          if (AppForegroundStateManager.AppForegroundState.IN_FOREGROUND.equals(newState)) {              // App just entered the foreground.              Log.i(TAG, "App Just Entered the Foreground with launch mechanism of: " + mLaunchMechanism);          } else {              // App just entered the background. Set our launch mode back to the default of direct.              mLaunchMechanism = LaunchMechanism.DIRECT;          }      }  }



设置启动机制

现在我们可以打印app何时启动的机制,但我们没有设置它。因此下一步就是在用户通过链接或者通知启动app时我们记下它。如果没有通过这两种方式设置过,说明用户是通过点击app图标启动的。

跟踪链接点击事件

为了跟踪用户点击链接打开app,你需要找到代码中处理链接的地方,并加入下面的代码来跟踪启动机制。要确保这些代码在activity的onStart()函数之前调用。在哪些地方加入下面的代码取决于你的app架构了。

getApplication().setLaunchMechanism(LaunchMechanism.URL);



跟踪通知事件

不幸的是跟踪通知点击需要更多技巧,通知显示后,点击它将会打开之前绑定好的一个PendingIntent,这里的技巧是为通知的所有PendingIntents添加一个标识表明是由通知发出的。

例如当为通知创建PendingIntent时为每个intent添加如下代码:

public static final String EXTRA_HANDLING_NOTIFICATION = "Notification.EXTRA_HANDLING_NOTIFICATION";    // Put an extra so we know when an activity launches if it is a from a notification  intent.putExtra(EXTRA_HANDLING_NOTIFICATION, true);



到这一步我们需要做的就是在每个activity(统一在BaseActivity中添加)中检查这个标识。当识别到这个标识时说明是从通知启动的,这时可以把启动机制设置为通过通知。这一步应该在onCreate中处理,这样在app启动到前台之前就设置好了(会触发启动机制的打印)。



@Override  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        Intent intent = getIntent();      if (intent != null && intent.getExtras() != null) {          // Detect if the activity was launched by the user clicking on a notification          if (intent.getExtras().getBoolean(EXTRA_HANDLING_NOTIFICATION, false)) {              // Notify that the activity was opened by the user clicking on a notification.              getApplication().setLaunchMechanism(LaunchMechanism.NOTIFICATION);          }      }  }


本文接近尾声了,到这里你应该已经掌握了如何检测app何时启动和关闭,以及它是如何启动的。
