Java中的Runnable、Callable、Future、FutureTask的区别与示例

Java中存在Runnable、Callable、Future、FutureTask这几个与线程相关的类或者接口，在Java中也是比较重要的几个概念，我们通过下面的简单示例来了解一下它们的作用于区别。

Runnable

其中Runnable应该是我们最熟悉的接口，它只有一个run()函数，用于将耗时操作写在其中，该函数没有返回值。然后使用某个线程去执行该runnable即可实现多线程，Thread类在调用start()函数后就是执行的是Runnable的run()函数。Runnable的声明如下 :

public interface Runnable {
    /**
     * When an object implementing interface <code>Runnable</code> is used
     * to create a thread, starting the thread causes the object‘s
     * <code>run</code> method to be called in that separately executing
     * thread.
     * <p>
     *
     * @see     java.lang.Thread#run()
     */
    public abstract void run();
}

Callable

Callable与Runnable的功能大致相似，Callable中有一个call()函数，但是call()函数有返回值，而Runnable的run()函数不能将结果返回给客户程序。Callable的声明如下 :

public interface Callable<V> {
    /**
     * Computes a result, or throws an exception if unable to do so.
     *
     * @return computed result
     * @throws Exception if unable to compute a result
     */
    V call() throws Exception;
}

可以看到，这是一个泛型接口，call()函数返回的类型就是客户程序传递进来的V类型。

Future

Executor就是Runnable和Callable的调度容器，Future就是对于具体的Runnable或者Callable任务的执行结果进行

取消、查询是否完成、获取结果、设置结果操作。get方法会阻塞，直到任务返回结果(Future简介)。Future声明如下
:

/**
* @see FutureTask
 * @see Executor
 * @since 1.5
 * @author Doug Lea
 * @param <V> The result type returned by this Future‘s <tt>get</tt> method
 */
public interface Future<V> {

    /**
     * Attempts to cancel execution of this task.  This attempt will
     * fail if the task has already completed, has already been cancelled,
     * or could not be cancelled for some other reason. If successful,
     * and this task has not started when <tt>cancel</tt> is called,
     * this task should never run.  If the task has already started,
     * then the <tt>mayInterruptIfRunning</tt> parameter determines
     * whether the thread executing this task should be interrupted in
     * an attempt to stop the task.     *
     */
    boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning);

    /**
     * Returns <tt>true</tt> if this task was cancelled before it completed
     * normally.
     */
    boolean isCancelled();

    /**
     * Returns <tt>true</tt> if this task completed.
     *
     */
    boolean isDone();

    /**
     * Waits if necessary for the computation to complete, and then
     * retrieves its result.
     *
     * @return the computed result
     */
    V get() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException;

    /**
     * Waits if necessary for at most the given time for the computation
     * to complete, and then retrieves its result, if available.
     *
     * @param timeout the maximum time to wait
     * @param unit the time unit of the timeout argument
     * @return the computed result
     */
    V get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
        throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException, TimeoutException;
}

FutureTask

FutureTask则是一个RunnableFuture<V>，而RunnableFuture实现了Runnbale又实现了Futrue<V>这两个接口，

public class FutureTask<V> implements RunnableFuture<V>

RunnableFuture

public interface RunnableFuture<V> extends Runnable, Future<V> {
    /**
     * Sets this Future to the result of its computation
     * unless it has been cancelled.
     */
    void run();
}

另外它还可以包装Runnable和Callable<V>， 由构造函数注入依赖。

    public FutureTask(Callable<V> callable) {
        if (callable == null)
            throw new NullPointerException();
        this.callable = callable;
        this.state = NEW;       // ensure visibility of callable
    }

    public FutureTask(Runnable runnable, V result) {
        this.callable = Executors.callable(runnable, result);
        this.state = NEW;       // ensure visibility of callable
    }

可以看到，Runnable注入会被Executors.callable()函数转换为Callable类型，即FutureTask最终都是执行Callable类型的任务。该适配函数的实现如下 ：

    public static <T> Callable<T> callable(Runnable task, T result) {
        if (task == null)
            throw new NullPointerException();
        return new RunnableAdapter<T>(task, result);
    }

RunnableAdapter适配器

    /**
     * A callable that runs given task and returns given result
     */
    static final class RunnableAdapter<T> implements Callable<T> {
        final Runnable task;
        final T result;
        RunnableAdapter(Runnable task, T result) {
            this.task = task;
            this.result = result;
        }
        public T call() {
            task.run();
            return result;
        }
    }

由于FutureTask实现了Runnable，因此它既可以通过Thread包装来直接执行，也可以提交给ExecuteService来执行。

并且还可以直接通过get()函数获取执行结果，该函数会阻塞，直到结果返回。因此FutureTask既是Future、

Runnable，又是包装了Callable(
如果是Runnable最终也会被转换为Callable )， 它是这两者的合体。

	static void runnableDemo() {

		new Thread(new Runnable() {

			@Override
			public void run() {
				System.out.println("runnable demo : " + fibc(20));
			}
		}).start();
	}

	/**
	 * 其中Runnable实现的是void run()方法，无返回值；Callable实现的是 V
	 * call()方法，并且可以返回执行结果。其中Runnable可以提交给Thread来包装下
	 * ，直接启动一个线程来执行，而Callable则一般都是提交给ExecuteService来执行。
	 */
	static void futureDemo() {
		try {
			/**
			 * 提交runnable则没有返回值, future没有数据
			 */
			Future<?> result = mExecutor.submit(new Runnable() {

				@Override
				public void run() {
					fibc(20);
				}
			});

			System.out.println("future result from runnable : " + result.get());

				@Override
				public Integer call() throws Exception {
					return fibc(20);
				}
			});

			System.out
					.println("future result from callable : " + result2.get());

			/**

			FutureTask<Integer> futureTask = new FutureTask<Integer>(
					new Callable<Integer>() {
						@Override
						public Integer call() throws Exception {
							return fibc(20);
						}
					});
			// 提交futureTask
			mExecutor.submit(futureTask) ;
			System.out.println("future result from futureTask : "
					+ futureTask.get());

		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (ExecutionException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

	/**
	 * 效率底下的斐波那契数列, 耗时的操作
	 *
	 * @param num
	 * @return
	 */
	static int fibc(int num) {
		if (num == 0) {
			return 0;
		}
		if (num == 1) {
			return 1;
		}
		return fibc(num - 1) + fibc(num - 2);
	}

}
