android 使用handler和线程的原因

之前研究了android的handler和线程，但是一直没有使用到，也一直不理解为何要用。直到遇到了这个问题。

Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views

来由是视频播放控制栏使用了popwindow 然后需要在onprepare设置当前播放时间，也就是在主线程中访问数据，再设置另外一个view的画面就导致了这个问题，此时就用到了线程+handler。

 private IMediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener preparedListener = new IMediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(IMediaPlayer iMediaPlayer) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onPrepared");
            iMediaPlayer.start();

            int duration = (int) iMediaPlayer.getDuration();
            Log.d(TAG, "mMediaPlayer.start();"  + "duration" + duration);
            mControlView.setEndtime(duration);
            mControlView.setProgressMax(duration);
            new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    isplaying = true;
                    while (isplaying) {
                        position = (int)iMediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
                        myHandler.sendEmptyMessage(PROGRESS_CHANGE);
                        //Log.d(TAG, "position = " + position);
                        try {
                            Thread.sleep(500);
                        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                    Log.d(TAG, "run = " + position);

                };

            }.start();
        }
    };

 final Handler myHandler = new Handler() {
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
            switch (msg.what) {
                case PROGRESS_CHANGE:
                    mControlView.setCurrentTime(position);
                    mControlView.setProgress(position);
                    //Log.d(TAG, "PROGRESS_CHANGE" + position);
                    break;
            }
        }
    };
