三种方式使得iOS程序即使在关闭或崩溃的情况下也能够在后台持续进行一些任务,比如更新程序界面快照,下载文件等。这三个方法分别是 Background Fetch,Remote Notification和NSURLSession的backgroundSessionConfiguration
Background Fetch
开启
首先在info plist文件中开启UIBackgroundModes的Background fetch。或者手动编辑这个值
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
<string>fetch</string>
</array>
iOS默认不进行background fetch,需要设置一个时间的间隔
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum表示尽可能频繁去获取,如果需要指定至少多少时间更新一次就需要给定一个时间值
[application setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval:UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum];
return YES;
}
最后在App Delegate里实现下面的方法,这个方法只能在30秒内完成。
- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application
performFetchWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
NSURLSessionConfiguration *sessionConfiguration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:sessionConfiguration]; NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://yourserver.com/data.json"];
NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [session dataTaskWithURL:url
completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) { if (error) {
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultFailed);
return;
} // 解析响应/数据以决定新内容是否可用
BOOL hasNewData = ...
if (hasNewData) {
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData);
} else {
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNoData);
}
}]; // 开始任务
[task resume];
}
测试
- 通过查看UIApplication的applicationState
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
NSLog(@"Launched in background %d", UIApplicationStateBackground == application.applicationState); return YES;
}
Remote Notification
在普通的远程通知里带上content-available标志就可以在通知用户同时在后台进行更新。通知结构如下
{
"aps" : {
"content-available" : 1
},
"content-id" : 42
}
接收一条带有content-available的通知会调用下面的方法
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
NSLog(@"Remote Notification userInfo is %@", userInfo); NSNumber *contentID = userInfo[@"content-id"];
// 根据 content ID 进行操作
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData);
}
利用NSURLSession进行background transfer task
使用[NSURLSessionConfiguration backgroundSessionConfiguration]创建一个后台任务,当应用退出后,崩溃或进程被关掉都还是会运行。
范例,先处理一条远程通知,并将NSURLSessionDownloadTask添加到后台传输服务队列。
- (NSURLSession *)backgroundURLSession
{
static NSURLSession *session = nil;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
NSString *identifier = @"io.objc.backgroundTransferExample";
NSURLSessionConfiguration* sessionConfig = [NSURLSessionConfiguration backgroundSessionConfiguration:identifier];
session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:sessionConfig
delegate:self
delegateQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]];
}); return session;
} - (void) application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
NSLog(@"Received remote notification with userInfo %@", userInfo); NSNumber *contentID = userInfo[@"content-id"];
NSString *downloadURLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://yourserver.com/downloads/%d.mp3", [contentID intValue]];
NSURL* downloadURL = [NSURL URLWithString:downloadURLString]; NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:downloadURL];
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *task = [[self backgroundURLSession] downloadTaskWithRequest:request];
task.taskDescription = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Podcast Episode %d", [contentID intValue]];
//执行resume保证开始了任务
[task resume]; completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData);
}
下载完成后调用NSURLSessionDownloadDelegate的委托方法,这些委托方法全部是必须实现的。了解所有类型session task的生命周期可以参考官方文档:https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/cocoa/Conceptual/URLLoadingSystem/NSURLSessionConcepts/NSURLSessionConcepts.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000165i-CH2-SW42
#Pragma Mark - NSURLSessionDownloadDelegate - (void) URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session
downloadTask:(NSURLSessionDownloadTask *)downloadTask
didFinishDownloadingToURL:(NSURL *)location
{
NSLog(@"downloadTask:%@ didFinishDownloadingToURL:%@", downloadTask.taskDescription, location); // 必须用 NSFileManager 将文件复制到应用的存储中,因为临时文件在方法返回后会被删除
// ... // 通知 UI 刷新
} - (void) URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session
downloadTask:(NSURLSessionDownloadTask *)downloadTask
didResumeAtOffset:(int64_t)fileOffset
expectedTotalBytes:(int64_t)expectedTotalBytes
{
} - (void) URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session
downloadTask:(NSURLSessionDownloadTask *)downloadTask
didWriteData:(int64_t)bytesWritten totalBytesWritten:(int64_t)totalBytesWritten
totalBytesExpectedToWrite:(int64_t)totalBytesExpectedToWrite
{
}
后台的任务完成后如果应用没有在前台运行,需要实现UIApplication的两个delegate让系统唤醒应用
- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application
handleEventsForBackgroundURLSession:(NSString *)identifier completionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler
{
// 你必须重新建立一个后台 seesiong 的参照
// 否则 NSURLSessionDownloadDelegate 和 NSURLSessionDelegate 方法会因为
// 没有 对 session 的 delegate 设定而不会被调用。参见上面的 backgroundURLSession
NSURLSession *backgroundSession = [self backgroundURLSession]; NSLog(@"Rejoining session with identifier %@ %@", identifier, backgroundSession); // 保存 completion handler 以在处理 session 事件后更新 UI
[self addCompletionHandler:completionHandler forSession:identifier];
} - (void)URLSessionDidFinishEventsForBackgroundURLSession:(NSURLSession *)session
{
NSLog(@"Background URL session %@ finished events.
", session); if (session.configuration.identifier) {
// 调用在 -application:handleEventsForBackgroundURLSession: 中保存的 handler
[self callCompletionHandlerForSession:session.configuration.identifier];
}
} - (void)addCompletionHandler:(CompletionHandlerType)handler forSession:(NSString *)identifier
{
if ([self.completionHandlerDictionary objectForKey:identifier]) {
NSLog(@"Error: Got multiple handlers for a single session identifier. This should not happen.
");
} [self.completionHandlerDictionary setObject:handler forKey:identifier];
} - (void)callCompletionHandlerForSession: (NSString *)identifier
{
CompletionHandlerType handler = [self.completionHandlerDictionary objectForKey: identifier]; if (handler) {
[self.completionHandlerDictionary removeObjectForKey: identifier];
NSLog(@"Calling completion handler for session %@", identifier); handler();
}
}
