通过几个例子来了解Handle Runnable Thread HandleThread的关系.

//Handler直接pos Runnable的例子
//Handler直接把一个Runnable对象放入消息队列,将会执行Runnable的run方法体
//Handler这里可以理解为Handle只是用来发送消息,不过消息有点特别,消息的内容是执行Runnable的run方法体
//new Handler();括弧没有指定参数,所以Handler处理消息是在本线程(Activity的main线程)处理.

public class HandlerTest extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */

	private Button startButton = null;
    private Button endButton = null;
    
    Handler handler = new Handler();
<strong>    Runnable updataThread = new Runnable(){

		@Override
		public void run() {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			System.out.println("线程消息");
			handler.postDelayed(updataThread, 3000);
		}};</strong>
    
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        startButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        endButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
        
        startButton.setOnClickListener(new startButtonListener());
        endButton.setOnClickListener(new endButtonListener());
        
        
    }
    class startButtonListener implements OnClickListener{

		@Override
		public void onClick(View v) {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub

		@Override
		public void onClick(View v) {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			<strong>handler.removeCallbacks(updataThread);</strong>
			
		}
    	
    }
    
    
}

//复写Handler的handleMessage函数,决定了Handle将如何处理消息;  
//复写了handleMessage后便可接受其他地方发过来的消息(一般是在另外线程处理耗时比较高的过程,然后发消息给主线程的Handler,由
//handleMessage函数处理UI的更新),例子三就是实现这个功能.
