Class ThreadHandler

java.lang.Object

com.idevicesinc.sweetblue.internal.ThreadHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

P_SweetHandler

public class ThreadHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements P_SweetHandler

Class used by the library to post Runnables. You shouldn't ever need to subclass this, as it's all implemented for you. However, if you want SweetBlue to run it's update logic on an already created Thread in your app (rather than creating a new Thread), then you will need to use this class. You must make sure to call loop() within the existing Thread's runnable, otherwise the class won't execute it's commands.

Constructor Detail

ThreadHandler

public ThreadHandler()

Create a new instance of ThreadHandler. If you are using this class to run SweetBlue's update logic in a thread you already have in your app, you must remember to call loop() in it's Runnable. This is setup as an update loop, so if your Thread's runnable doesn't loop, this class won't help much.

Method Detail

loop

public final void loop()

If you are running SweetBlue's update logic in your own thread, you must remember to call this method inside of the Runnable for the your Thread.
