Looper源码分析

prepare()

首先我们来看，普通现成的Looper初始化。

//Looper: 97
/** Initialize the current thread as a looper.
  * This gives you a chance to create handlers that then reference
  * this looper, before actually starting the loop. Be sure to call
  * {@link #loop()} after calling this method, and end it by calling
  * {@link #quit()}.
  */
public static void prepare() {
    prepare(true);
}

private static void prepare(boolean quitAllowed) {
    if (sThreadLocal.get() != null) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Only one Looper may be created per thread");
    }
    sThreadLocal.set(new Looper(quitAllowed));
}

我们看到，普通现成要调用Looper.prepare()来初始化Looper。从代码中我们可以看到，一个线程只能由一个Looper，并且， 这个唯一的Looper是放置在sThreadLocal中 的。

我们再来看一下Looper的构造。

//Looper:267
private Looper(boolean quitAllowed) {
    mQueue = new MessageQueue(quitAllowed);
    mThread = Thread.currentThread();
}

我们可以看到，一个Looper绑定了一个唯一的mQueue和一个mThread。

当然，还有在ActivityThread中调用的prepareMainLooper()。

//Looper:114
/**
 * Initialize the current thread as a looper, marking it as an
 * application's main looper. The main looper for your application
 * is created by the Android environment, so you should never need
 * to call this function yourself.  See also: {@link #prepare()}
 */
public static void prepareMainLooper() {
    prepare(false);
    synchronized (Looper.class) {
        if (sMainLooper != null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("The main Looper has already been prepared.");
        }
        sMainLooper = myLooper();
    }
}

其实就是调用了上面的普通的prepare()并且把存储在sThreadLocal中的Looper赋值给sMainLooper。

//Looper:254
/**
 * Return the Looper object associated with the current thread.  Returns
 * null if the calling thread is not associated with a Looper.
 */
public static @Nullable Looper myLooper() {
    return sThreadLocal.get();
}

quit()

quit()方法实现其实很简单。就两个函数。

//Looper:322
/**
 * Quits the looper.
 * <p>
 * Causes the {@link #loop} method to terminate without processing any
 * more messages in the message queue.
 * </p><p>
 * Any attempt to post messages to the queue after the looper is asked to quit will fail.
 * For example, the {@link Handler#sendMessage(Message)} method will return false.
 * </p><p class="note">
 * Using this method may be unsafe because some messages may not be delivered
 * before the looper terminates.  Consider using {@link #quitSafely} instead to ensure
 * that all pending work is completed in an orderly manner.
 * </p>
 *
 * @see #quitSafely
 */
public void quit() {
    mQueue.quit(false);
}

/**
 * Quits the looper safely.
 * <p>
 * Causes the {@link #loop} method to terminate as soon as all remaining messages
 * in the message queue that are already due to be delivered have been handled.
 * However pending delayed messages with due times in the future will not be
 * delivered before the loop terminates.
 * </p><p>
 * Any attempt to post messages to the queue after the looper is asked to quit will fail.
 * For example, the {@link Handler#sendMessage(Message)} method will return false.
 * </p>
 */
public void quitSafely() {
    mQueue.quit(true);
}

既然这两个函数那么简单，为什么要说这两个函数呢？那是因为，在looper.quite()方法没有执行之前，looper.loop()之后的方法是不会被执行的。为什么呢？那是因为，loop()里是个死循环。

loop()

loop()函数是比较重要的函数。如果说，message是货品，那loop()函数就是传送给handler处理的传送带。传送的动力是什么呢？是一个死循环…

//Looper:137
/**
 * Run the message queue in this thread. Be sure to call
 * {@link #quit()} to end the loop.
 */
public static void loop() {
    final Looper me = myLooper();
    if (me == null) {
        throw new RuntimeException("No Looper; Looper.prepare() wasn't called on this thread.");
    }
    final MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;

    // Make sure the identity of this thread is that of the local process,
    // and keep track of what that identity token actually is.
    Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
    final long ident = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();

    // Allow overriding a threshold with a system prop. e.g.
    // adb shell 'setprop log.looper.1000.main.slow 1 && stop && start'
    final int thresholdOverride =
            SystemProperties.getInt("log.looper."
                    + Process.myUid() + "."
                    + Thread.currentThread().getName()
                    + ".slow", 0);

    boolean slowDeliveryDetected = false;

    for (;;) {
        Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
        if (msg == null) {
            // No message indicates that the message queue is quitting.
            return;
        }

        // This must be in a local variable, in case a UI event sets the logger
        final Printer logging = me.mLogging;
        if (logging != null) {
            logging.println(">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " +
                    msg.callback + ": " + msg.what);
        }

        final long traceTag = me.mTraceTag;
        long slowDispatchThresholdMs = me.mSlowDispatchThresholdMs;
        long slowDeliveryThresholdMs = me.mSlowDeliveryThresholdMs;
        if (thresholdOverride > 0) {
            slowDispatchThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
            slowDeliveryThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
        }
        final boolean logSlowDelivery = (slowDeliveryThresholdMs > 0) && (msg.when > 0);
        final boolean logSlowDispatch = (slowDispatchThresholdMs > 0);

        final boolean needStartTime = logSlowDelivery || logSlowDispatch;
        final boolean needEndTime = logSlowDispatch;

        if (traceTag != 0 && Trace.isTagEnabled(traceTag)) {
            Trace.traceBegin(traceTag, msg.target.getTraceName(msg));
        }

        final long dispatchStart = needStartTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
        final long dispatchEnd;
        try {
            msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
            dispatchEnd = needEndTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
        } finally {
            if (traceTag != 0) {
                Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
            }
        }
        if (logSlowDelivery) {
            if (slowDeliveryDetected) {
                if ((dispatchStart - msg.when) <= 10) {
                    Slog.w(TAG, "Drained");
                    slowDeliveryDetected = false;
                }
            } else {
                if (showSlowLog(slowDeliveryThresholdMs, msg.when, dispatchStart, "delivery",
                        msg)) {
                    // Once we write a slow delivery log, suppress until the queue drains.
                    slowDeliveryDetected = true;
                }
            }
        }
        if (logSlowDispatch) {
            showSlowLog(slowDispatchThresholdMs, dispatchStart, dispatchEnd, "dispatch", msg);
        }

        if (logging != null) {
            logging.println("<<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " " + msg.callback);
        }

        // Make sure that during the course of dispatching the
        // identity of the thread wasn't corrupted.
        final long newIdent = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
        if (ident != newIdent) {
            Log.wtf(TAG, "Thread identity changed from 0x"
                    + Long.toHexString(ident) + " to 0x"
                    + Long.toHexString(newIdent) + " while dispatching to "
                    + msg.target.getClass().getName() + " "
                    + msg.callback + " what=" + msg.what);
        }

        msg.recycleUnchecked();
    }
}

下面，我会去掉安全检查和Log相关的代码整理一下流程。

首先，是获取Looper和消息队列。

final Looper me = myLooper();
final MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;

然后，就进入了死循环，不断取出消息。

for (;;) {
    Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
    if (msg == null) {
        // No message indicates that the message queue is quitting.
        return;
    }

    try {
        msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
        dispatchEnd = needEndTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
    } finally {
        if (traceTag != 0) {
            Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
        }
    }

    msg.recycleUnchecked();
}

这样看，就简单了很多。

Message msg = queue.next();是不断从消息队列中取出消息。

msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);是从消息中取出存放在target中的handler，并且调用dispatchMessage来分发消息。

最后是msg.recycleUnchecked();，将消息初始化并存放在消息池中，去复用。
