marsandroid学习笔记——Handler

A Handler allows you to send and process Message and Runnable objects associated with a thread's MessageQueue. Each Handler instance is associated with a single thread and that thread's message queue. When you create a new Handler, it is bound to the thread / message queue of the thread that is creating it -- from that point on, it will deliver messages and runnables to that message queue and execute them as they come out of the message queue.

一、Handler基本用法

1.创建一个Handler对象 

Handler handler = new Handler（）；

2.触发绑定的监听，将需要执行的线程对象加入队列

handler.post(r);

3.如有需要，可以将线程对象从队列中移除

handler.removeCallbacks(r);

通过这样的方式其实并没有启动新的线程，实质是在主线程之内调用r的run（）方法。

Handler()

Default constructor associates this handler with the  Looper for the current thread.

由以上构造函数可知，handler对象是于当前线程（主线程）的Looper相连接的，所以没有启用新的线程。

二、Message相关

1.Message对象一般不通过构造函数获得，而是调用Message.obtain()方法创建，Handler中也可以通过调用

obtainMessage（）方法得到一个Message对象。

Message msg = handler.obtainMessage();

2.将消息对象添加到消息队列的末尾

handler.sendMessage(msg);

3.重写Handler类的handleMessage(Message msg)方法，对消息进行处理

@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
//具体实现
}

处理少量的整型数值，可以用Message中的arg1，arg2字段来传递存储（msg.arg1, msg.arg2），相对于使用

setData（）方法系统开销会少；obj用来传递对象。而Bundle对象则可以用来传递存储更为复杂的数据。

三、Handler启用新的线程

HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("handler_thread");
handlerThread.start();
Handler handler = new Handler(handlerThread.getLooper());

Handler( Looper looper)

Use the provided  Looper instead of the default one.

HandlerThread

Handy class for starting a new thread that has a looper. The looper can then be used to create handler classes. 

Note that start() must still be called.
