子线程Handler抛出异常

先看一段代码

new Thread(){
    Handler handler=null;
    public void run(){
        handler =new Handler();
    };
}.start();

运行之后会抛出 Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

我们来看源码

public Handler(Callback callback, boolean async) {

mLooper = Looper.myLooper();
if (mLooper == null) {
    throw new RuntimeException(
        "Can't create handler inside thread " + Thread.currentThread()
                + " that has not called Looper.prepare()");
}
mQueue = mLooper.mQueue;
mCallback = callback;
mAsynchronous = async;

}

当mLooper为空时，抛出了异常，因为该线程中的Looper还没有创建

所以我们再构造Handler之前，为当前线程设置Looper对象如下

new Thread(){
    Handler handler=null;
    public void run(){
        Looper.prepare();
        handler =new Handler();
        Looper.loop();
    };
}.start();

Looper.prepare();来创建Looper，创建了Looper也就是有了自己的消息队列，但是我们还需执行Looper.loop();启动消息循环，这样才能被执行
