Handler机制的一些理解

// Handler允许你去发送/处理消息message和Runnable对象。每个handler对象对应一个
// Thread和与这个Thread对应的MessageQueue。当你创建一个Handler的时候，它就和
// Thread以及相对应的MessageQueue绑定在一起。从绑定成功的那一刻开始，Handler
// 就可以向MessageQueue中发送消息和Runnable对象，执行后就从消息队列退出。

// Handler是建立在Looper上，实现Thread的消息系统处理模型，实现消息异步处理。
// Thread默认是没有Looper和消息循环的,所以需要自己去添加。
// 消息循环和消息队列都是属于Thread，而Handler本身并不具有Looper和MessageQueue；
// 但是消息系统的建立和交互，是Thread将Looper和MessageQueue交给某个Handler维护建立消息系统模型。
// 所以消息系统模型的核心就是Looper。消息循环和消息队列都是由Looper建立的，而建立Handler的关键就是这个Looper。
// 一个Thread同时可以对应多个Handler，一个Handler同时只能属于一个Thread。Handler属于哪个Thread取决于Handler在那个Thread中建立。
// （比如PHONE的消息通过某个Thread发出来，Callnotifer, callstateMonitor等handler都可以接受到，应该就是这个样子吧）
// 在一个Thread中Looper也是唯一的，一个Thread对应一个Looper，建立Handler的Looper来自哪个Thread,Handler属于哪个Thread。
// 故建立Thread消息系统，就是将Thread的Looper交给Handler去打理，实现消息系统模型，完成消息的异步处理。
