Idlehandler是一个接口,存在于MessageQueue里,
/**
* Callback interface for discovering when a thread is going to block
* waiting for more messages.
*/
public static interface IdleHandler {
/**
*当消息队列用完消息并且现在将等待更多消息时调用。 返回 true 以保持空闲处理程序处于活动状态,
*返回 false 以将其删除。 如果队列中仍有待处理的消息,则可能会调用此方法,但它们都被安排在当前时间之后调度。
* Called when the message queue has run out of messages and will now
* wait for more. Return true to keep your idle handler active, false
* to have it removed. This may be called if there are still messages
* pending in the queue, but they are all scheduled to be dispatched
* after the current time.
*/
boolean queueIdle();
}
官方文档说,当一个线程要阻塞等待更多消息时会被回调。就是当UI线程执行完毕后,会调用该方法。当queueIdle()方法返回true,idleHandler一直处于激活状态,如果返回false,就会被移除。
下面看下源码得调用;
ActivityThread.class
void scheduleGcIdler() {
if (!mGcIdlerScheduled) {
mGcIdlerScheduled = true;
//mGcIdler是IdleHandler得子类。主要做一些GC回收工作
Looper.myQueue().addIdleHandler(mGcIdler);
}
mH.removeMessages(H.GC_WHEN_IDLE);
}
public void addIdleHandler(@NonNull IdleHandler handler) {
if (handler == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("Can't add a null IdleHandler");
}
synchronized (this) {
mIdleHandlers.add(handler);
}
}
