Looper和Handler

本文转自：http://hubingforever.blog.163.com/blog/static/171040579201162034730266/

Looper用于在android线程中进行消息处理，默认情况下,一个线程并不和任何Looper绑定。当我们调用Looper.prepare()时，如果当前线程还没有和任何Looper绑定，那么将创建一个Looper让它和当前线程绑定。当我们调用Looper.loop()时，它将对当前线程所对应的Looper的消息进行处理，从消息队列里取消息，处理消息，一直循环直到对该Looper调用quit（）函数。

注意：Looper.loop()中是个while循环，只有对它所在线程的Looper调用了quit()函数，Looper.loop()函数才能完成，其后的代码才能得以运行。一个线程对应一个Looper，一个Looper对应一个消息队列MessageQueue。

  对于Handler，其实只是把消息发送到其对应的Looper的消息队列MessageQueue中，最后的处理还是在Looper.loop()的while循环中进行的。一个Looper可以用于构造多个Handler。因为Looper.loop()函数是个while循环，会让当前线程一直在那里处理进行循环，直到对该线程的Looper调用了quit()函数，所以 ， 如果想对该Handler发送消息或添加Runnable以进行事务处理，要么在别的线程中进行，要么在该Handler在处理消息时或在Runnable（）的run()函数中进行事务处理时进行。

注意1：Handler的构造函数Handler()和Handler(Handler.Callback callback)，虽然没有Looper参数，但是它实际上是通过Looper.myLooper()来获取当前线程中的Looper的。

注意2：如果你使用的Looper来自于你自己创建的线程，那么在不使用其对应的Handler时候，一定要通过 handler.getLooper().quit()来使其线程退出。

以下是Android API中的一个典型的Looper thread实现

示例1：

class LooperThread extends Thread

{

public Handler mHandler ;

public void run() 

{

Looper.prepare();

mHandler = new Handler() 

{

public void handleMessage(Message msg) 

{

// process incoming messages here

}

};

Looper.loop();

}

注意：默认情况下，线程是没有Looper的，所以要调用 Looper.prepare()来给线程创建消息循环，然后再通过，Looper.loop()来使消息循环起作用。

另外，Activity的MainUI线程已经新建并绑定了个Looper(在源码1的，Main函数中你可以看到)。所以在Activity中新建Handler时，不需要先调用Looper.prepare()。

关于 Activity的MainUI线程的更多内容可以查看源码文件 ActivityThread.java, 它位于 android\frameworks\base\core\java\android\app 下

源码1

public final class ActivityThread {

//省略

    final ApplicationThread mAppThread = new ApplicationThread();

    final Looper mLooper = Looper.myLooper();

    final H mH = new H();

//省略

private final class H extends Handler {

//省略

}

//省略

  public static final void main(String[] args) {

        SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();

        Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");

        Looper.prepareMainLooper();

        if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {

            sMainThreadHandler = new Handler();

        }

        ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();

        thread.attach(false);

        if (false) {

            Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new

                    LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));

        }

        Looper.loop();

        if (Process.supportsProcesses()) {

            throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");

        }

        thread.detach();

        String name = (thread.mInitialApplication != null)

            ? thread.mInitialApplication.getPackageName()

            : "<unknown>";

        Slog.i(TAG, "Main thread of " + name + " is now exiting");

    }

还Activity的生命周期函数（如onCreate(),onResume）本身也是通过 一个基于其MainUI线程的Looper（即ActivityThread的Main函数线程）的Handler（即ActivityThread的H mH这个Handler ）来调用的.也就说这些函数都是在Looper.loop()中被执行的。当然如果我们创建了一个基于Activity本身的MainUI线程的Looper的Handler的话，该Handler的事务处理也是在Looper.loop()中进行的。我们从测试实例1也可以看到这一点。

测试实例1 ：

package com.teleca.robin;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.os.Handler;

import android.util.Log;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */

    @Override

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Log.i(tag,"-----------------------------------------------");

StackTraceElement st[]= Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();

for(int i=0;i<st.length;i++)

Log.i(tag,i+":"+st[i]);

Log.i(tag,"------------------------------------------------");

        handler=new Handler();

        handler.postDelayed(r, 100);

        handler2.postDelayed(r, 200);

    }

    final static String tag="robin";

    Handler handler;

    Handler handler2=new Handler();

    Runnable r=new Runnable(){

    public void run()

    {

    StackTraceElement st[]= Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();

    for(int i=0;i<st.length;i++)

    Log.i(tag,i+":"+st[i]);

    Log.i(tag,"----------------------------------------------");

    }

   

    };

}

另外同过查看ActivityThread.java源码，你可以看到系统还会通过ApplicationThread mAppThread向该Handler发送消息，以便进行事务处理。
