View的invalidate和postInvalidate

自定义View，如果要刷新，重绘View，可以利用invalidate和postInvalidate两个方法，当然还有其他方法可以实现重绘（requestLayout会导致重新进行测量，布局，绘制），本文重点讲解这两个函数的异同。
invalidate和postInvalidate常用于刷新View，都会导致View重绘，重新调用view的onDraw方法。
invalidate必须在ui线程使用，postInvalidate可以在子线程中使用。

    /**
     * Invalidate the whole view. If the view is visible,
     * {@link #onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas)} will be called at some point in
     * the future.
     * <p>
     * 必须在UI线程执行，postInvalidate可以不再UI线程执行。
     * This must be called from a UI thread. To call from a non-UI thread, call
     * {@link #postInvalidate()}.
     */
    public void invalidate() {
        invalidate(true);
    }

    /**
     * This is where the invalidate() work actually happens. A full invalidate()
     * causes the drawing cache to be invalidated, but this function can be
     * called with invalidateCache set to false to skip that invalidation step
     * for cases that do not need it (for example, a component that remains at
     * the same dimensions with the same content).
     *
     * @param invalidateCache Whether the drawing cache for this view should be
     *            invalidated as well. This is usually true for a full
     *            invalidate, but may be set to false if the View's contents or
     *            dimensions have not changed.
     * @hide
     */
    public void invalidate(boolean invalidateCache) {
        invalidateInternal(0, 0, mRight - mLeft, mBottom - mTop, invalidateCache, true);
    }

    /**
     * <p>Cause an invalidate to happen on a subsequent cycle through the event loop.
     * Use this to invalidate the View from a non-UI thread.</p>

     * <p>This method can be invoked from outside of the UI thread
     * only when this View is attached to a window.</p>

    public void postInvalidate(int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
        postInvalidateDelayed(0, left, top, right, bottom);
    }
    public void postInvalidateDelayed(long delayMilliseconds) {
        // We try only with the AttachInfo because there's no point in invalidating
        // if we are not attached to our window
        final AttachInfo attachInfo = mAttachInfo;
        if (attachInfo != null) {
            attachInfo.mViewRootImpl.dispatchInvalidateDelayed(this, delayMilliseconds);
        }
    }
//postInvalidate方法内部使用了Handler
  public void dispatchInvalidateDelayed(View view, long delayMilliseconds) {
        Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage(MSG_INVALIDATE, view);
        mHandler.sendMessageDelayed(msg, delayMilliseconds);
    }

postInvalidate内部利用Handler实现，所以可以利用Handler和invalide实现postInvalidate功能。
