apply 和 commit 都是通过SharedPreferences的editor进行值修改后，保存的函数，它们之间有什么区别呢
首先看下SharedPreferences的机制
SharedPreferences的实现在SharedPrefencesImpl
/frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/SharedPreferencesImpl.java
SharedPreferencesImpl(File file, int mode) {
mFile = file;
mBackupFile = makeBackupFile(file);
mMode = mode;
mLoaded = false;
mMap = null;
startLoadFromDisk();
}
private void startLoadFromDisk() {
synchronized (this) {
mLoaded = false;
}
new Thread("SharedPreferencesImpl-load") {
public void run() {
loadFromDisk();
}
}.start();
}
private void loadFromDisk() {
synchronized (SharedPreferencesImpl.this) {
if (mLoaded) {
return;
}
if (mBackupFile.exists()) {
mFile.delete();
mBackupFile.renameTo(mFile);
}
}
// Debugging
if (mFile.exists() && !mFile.canRead()) {
Log.w(TAG, "Attempt to read preferences file " + mFile + " without permission");
}
Map map = null;
StructStat stat = null;
try {
stat = Os.stat(mFile.getPath());
if (mFile.canRead()) {
BufferedInputStream str = null;
try {
str = new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream(mFile), 16*1024);
map = XmlUtils.readMapXml(str);
} catch (XmlPullParserException | IOException e) {
Log.w(TAG, "getSharedPreferences", e);
} finally {
IoUtils.closeQuietly(str);
}
}
} catch (ErrnoException e) {
/* ignore */
}
synchronized (SharedPreferencesImpl.this) {
mLoaded = true;
if (map != null) {
mMap = map;
mStatTimestamp = stat.st_mtime;
mStatSize = stat.st_size;
} else {
mMap = new HashMap<>();
}
notifyAll();
}
}
首先从xml中将key， value 读入mMap，之后获取从SharedPreferences中获取key，value值时就直接从mMap中读取。
public float getFloat(String key, float defValue) {
synchronized (this) {
awaitLoadedLocked(); //wait 知道 mLoaded设为true
Float v = (Float)mMap.get(key);
return v != null ? v : defValue;
}
}
调用edit方法会返回EditorImpl对象
public final class EditorImpl implements Editor {
private final Map<String, Object> mModified = Maps.newHashMap();
private boolean mClear = false;
public Editor putString(String key, @Nullable String value) {
synchronized (this) {
mModified.put(key, value);
return this;
}
}
.......
public Editor clear() {
synchronized (this) {
mClear = true;
return this;
}
}
EditorImpl使用mModified变量来保存改变的key, value，clear()则会设置mClear变量
public void apply() {
final MemoryCommitResult mcr = commitToMemory();
final Runnable awaitCommit = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
mcr.writtenToDiskLatch.await();
} catch (InterruptedException ignored) {
}
}
};
QueuedWork.add(awaitCommit);
Runnable postWriteRunnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
awaitCommit.run();
QueuedWork.remove(awaitCommit);
}
};
SharedPreferencesImpl.this.enqueueDiskWrite(mcr, postWriteRunnable);
// Okay to notify the listeners before it's hit disk
// because the listeners should always get the same
// SharedPreferences instance back, which has the
// changes reflected in memory.
notifyListeners(mcr);
}
apply方法会调用commitToMemory将mModified中key， value更新到SharedPreferences的mMap中，
调用enqueueDiskWrite方法将mMap更新到文件中
首先看看commitToMemory
// Returns true if any changes were made
private MemoryCommitResult commitToMemory() {
MemoryCommitResult mcr = new MemoryCommitResult();
synchronized (SharedPreferencesImpl.this) {
// We optimistically don't make a deep copy until
// a memory commit comes in when we're already
// writing to disk.
if (mDiskWritesInFlight > 0) {
// We can't modify our mMap as a currently
// in-flight write owns it. Clone it before
// modifying it.
// noinspection unchecked
mMap = new HashMap<String, Object>(mMap);
}
mcr.mapToWriteToDisk = mMap;
mDiskWritesInFlight++;
boolean hasListeners = mListeners.size() > 0;
if (hasListeners) {
mcr.keysModified = new ArrayList<String>();
mcr.listeners =
new HashSet<OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener>(mListeners.keySet());
}
synchronized (this) {
if (mClear) {
if (!mMap.isEmpty()) {
mcr.changesMade = true;
mMap.clear();
}
mClear = false;
}
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> e : mModified.entrySet()) {
String k = e.getKey();
Object v = e.getValue();
// "this" is the magic value for a removal mutation. In addition,
// setting a value to "null" for a given key is specified to be
// equivalent to calling remove on that key.
if (v == this || v == null) {
if (!mMap.containsKey(k)) {
continue;
}
mMap.remove(k);
} else {
if (mMap.containsKey(k)) {
Object existingValue = mMap.get(k);
if (existingValue != null && existingValue.equals(v)) {
continue;
}
}
mMap.put(k, v);
}
mcr.changesMade = true;
if (hasListeners) {
mcr.keysModified.add(k);
}
}
mModified.clear();
}
}
return mcr;
}
先创建MemoryCommitResult对象，然后根据有没有更新mMap的key，value，来设置MemoryCommitResult.changedMade。另外还要判断有没有正在运行的保存文件的操作(mDiskWritesInFlight)，如果有，还要讲mMap复制一份。将mMap保存在MemoryCommitResult.mapToWriteToDisk中，同时增加mDiskWritesInFlight。
然后调用enqueueDiskWrite
private void enqueueDiskWrite(final MemoryCommitResult mcr,
final Runnable postWriteRunnable) {
final Runnable writeToDiskRunnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
synchronized (mWritingToDiskLock) {
writeToFile(mcr);
}
synchronized (SharedPreferencesImpl.this) {
mDiskWritesInFlight--;
}
if (postWriteRunnable != null) {
postWriteRunnable.run();
}
}
};
final boolean isFromSyncCommit = (postWriteRunnable == null);
// Typical #commit() path with fewer allocations, doing a write on
// the current thread.
if (isFromSyncCommit) {
boolean wasEmpty = false;
synchronized (SharedPreferencesImpl.this) {
wasEmpty = mDiskWritesInFlight == 1;
}
if (wasEmpty) {
writeToDiskRunnable.run();
return;
}
}
QueuedWork.singleThreadExecutor().execute(writeToDiskRunnable);
}
如果是从apply中调用，则postWriteRunnable不为空，isFromSyncCommit为false，在另外的线程上执行writeToDiskRunnable，主要是writeToFile，writeToFile主要是将当前xml重命名成backup file，然后将mMap写进xml，写成功后，删除backup file，写失败的话，就在下次初始化的时候将backup恢复成xml
再看看commit的实现
public boolean commit() {
MemoryCommitResult mcr = commitToMemory();
SharedPreferencesImpl.this.enqueueDiskWrite(
mcr, null /* sync write on this thread okay */);
try {
mcr.writtenToDiskLatch.await();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
return false;
}
notifyListeners(mcr);
return mcr.writeToDiskResult;
}
先是更新mMap，然后调用enqueueDiskWrite写文件。最后会调用mcr.writtenToDiskLatch.await()来等待写文件操作的完成。再回到enqueueDiskWrite
// Typical #commit() path with fewer allocations, doing a write on
// the current thread.
if (isFromSyncCommit) {
boolean wasEmpty = false;
synchronized (SharedPreferencesImpl.this) {
wasEmpty = mDiskWritesInFlight == 1;
}
if (wasEmpty) {
writeToDiskRunnable.run();
return;
}
}
QueuedWork.singleThreadExecutor().execute(writeToDiskRunnable);
如果是commit调用，isFromSyncCommit为true，然后判断有没有其他apply调用，如果有其他apply调用，则将writeToDiskRunnable放到单独的线程中，等待其他apply完成后再写入，如果没有其他apply调用，则在当前线程运行writeToDiskRunnable
