Abstract

The invention discloses a small program startup control method and device, and relates to the technical field of computers. A specific implementation of the method includes: after the application starts normally, sending a broadcast event to the first broadcast to start the first applet process corresponding to the first broadcast; The applet process loads an applet; while displaying the operation homepage of an applet in the application, a broadcast event is sent to the second broadcast after the first broadcast to start the second applet process corresponding to the second broadcast . This implementation uses the Android platform broadcasting technology to preload the process. After the host App is started, a broadcast event is sent to prepare the applet process in advance. When starting the applet, the preloaded applet process is directly used to load, avoiding the need to start the applet. The waiting time of the empty process greatly improves the startup speed of the applet.

Description

Applet starting control method and device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a small program starting control method and device.

Background

The applet is a new species which is started in recent years, is a Hybrid application, combines technologies such as front-end H5, native Android and iOS, and can realize seamless operation of a set of programs on 2 platforms. In the Android platform, each applet is an independent process, and the independent process means that a memory can be monopolized, so that the memory pressure of a main process (a host, such as a WeChat App) is reduced. Such as: the upper limit of each process is 100MB, when an Android applet is opened, 100MB more memory is available, and the main process memory is not occupied.

On the Android platform, a plurality of small programs are allowed to be opened, namely, a plurality of processes are involved, but starting one process is costly, and even if the new process does not operate, the process is long in time. According to statistics, the time consumption is about 0.5-3 s generally, and the time consumption is more in medium and low-end Android equipment. In order to avoid that the initial and subsequent small program opening is too slow and the normal main process and the small program starting process are not influenced, a scheme for accelerating the small program starting is required to be provided.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of embodiments of the invention are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

The words involved in the scheme are explained as follows:

app (full name: Application) refers to an executable Application program, and herein refers to an Application program that can be run on a smartphone, a computer, or the like.

Broadcast (full name: broadcastreever): one of the Android 4 large components is configured in an Android manifest file, can be operated in an independent process through process attribute configuration, and can also realize cross-process communication.

A main process: a program represents a process, such as a WeChat App. Since applets need to be host dependent (e.g., wechat applets depend on wechat), and are independent processes, the process run by the host is often referred to as the host process.

The small program: a program running on the host application can be opened through scanning and searching of the host without installation, and is very light.

Referring to fig. 1, a main flowchart of an applet starting control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, including the following steps:

s101: after the application is normally started, sending a broadcast event to a first broadcast so as to start a first applet process corresponding to the first broadcast;

s102: in response to a startup operation on an applet, loading the applet by using the first applet process;

s103: and sending a broadcast event to a second broadcast after the first broadcast while displaying the operation home page of the applet in the application so as to start a second applet process corresponding to the second broadcast.

In the above embodiment, for step S101, it is currently a practice to start an applet process of an empty process when the App application is started, so as to speed up the first applet opening. However, App start-up is generally a relatively heavy operation, such as initializing some non-applet SDKs (Software Development Kit), e.g., monitoring SDKs, embedded SDKs, etc., and the start-up of applet idle processes affects App start-up speed.

When a host/main process (such as a WeChat App) is started, the scheme preferably initializes the environment and various non-applet SDKs, such as point burying, hot repair, crash monitoring, and the like. After the initialization is completed and the main process normally jumps to the home page, it means that the application has been normally started, as shown in fig. 2.

Because certain time is needed for starting the application and initializing the non-applet SDK, the applet SDK preloading process (or a container) cannot be called immediately when the application is started, and a broadcast event is sent to the first broadcast through the applet SDK when the application normally jumps to a home page (or called parallel), so that the first applet process corresponding to the first broadcast is preheated.

For steps S102 and S103, sending the broadcast event does not affect the normal applet starting process, and when receiving the broadcast, the Android system starts a new empty applet process to complete the preloading process starting operation, and the applet process can be directly used subsequently when starting the applet.

When the applet is started (similar to the starting of the App), the pre-started first applet process can be directly used to open the applet in the first applet process. After the applet is started, the applet normally jumps to the applet operation home page, and simultaneously sends a broadcast event to a second broadcast (located after the first broadcast) through the applet SDK, so as to start a second applet process corresponding to the second broadcast. Through the above steps, a process is preloaded at the whole engine layer for loading the next applet to be opened.

Further, when the applet is started, it may be determined whether the current applet process has been normally started and idled, and if the current applet process has been normally started and idled, the applet process is directly reused, otherwise, the applet process needs to be restarted, and finally the applet is loaded using the applet process. Since the pre-started applet process may be recovered by the Android system or the pre-started applet process may fail, it is necessary to determine whether the applet process is normally started and idle, which is specifically shown in fig. 3.

The overall operation flow is shown in fig. 4:

1. when the application is started, sending a broadcast event to the broadcast 1 through the applet SDK so as to start the applet process 1 corresponding to the broadcast 1;

2. when the small program is started (such as the small program 1), the small program 1 can be directly loaded by using the pre-started process 1;

3. after the small program 1 is started, sending a broadcast event to the broadcast 2 through the small program SDK so as to start the small program process 2 corresponding to the broadcast 2;

4. if the small program is not started, stopping after the small program process 2 is started, if another small program is started, repeating the starting and sending operations until all small program processes are started and the small programs are loaded, and forming a running small program queue;

5. if an applet needs to be started later, the applet 1 loaded by the process 1 needs to be replaced by another applet.

In actual operation, the applet can be opened infinitely, but since resources such as mobile phones and computers are limited, 5 broadcasts and corresponding 5 applet processes are usually configured. After more than 5, the opened small program is replaced, as shown in the figure, the small program 1 runs in the process 1, and the small program 1 is replaced by the small program 6, so that a loop is formed.

For example, after the browser opens the web page a, the address of the web page B is input into the address bar of the web page, and then the browser displays the web page B, where the browser is an applet process, the page a is the applet 1, and the page B is the applet 6.

The embodiment of the invention provides a thought for increasing the starting speed of an applet from an Android applet engine layer, which is based on an Android SDK technology and an Android applet technology, combines an Android broadcasting mechanism, and preloads an applet process under the condition of not influencing the starting of an App and the applet, so that the starting of the applet is accelerated, and the experience of opening the applet by a user is improved.

The scheme is compared with the prior art:

1. the prior art is as follows: restarting the small program process when the small program is started, namely when the small program is not started, the small program process is always in a state of waiting to be started and being idle;

2. the scheme is as follows: when the application bearing the small program is started, only one broadcast and one small program process are started through the broadcast event, the started small program process is directly used when the subsequent small program is started, the starting operation of the second broadcast and the second small program process is triggered, a triggering cycle is formed, and a plurality of small program processes cannot be triggered and started at one time, so that the waste of system resources is avoided.

and after the configured applet threads are all normally started and loaded with the applets, responding to the starting operation of a new applet, and replacing the applet loaded by using the first applet process with the new applet.
