Android Looper原理源码分析

概要

在很久以前的时候转载了一小篇文章《Android Message Queue、Message、Looper、Handler》白话介绍了一下Android Message Queue、Looper、Handler这几个概念之间的关系。其中Looper居于这几个概念的核心，一个Looper里面有一个MessageQueue。多个Handler可以共享一个Looper，一个线程里面只有一个Looper。今天再深入分析一下Looper的原理源码

    /**
     * Creates a looper.
     *
     * If allowNonCallbaks is true, the looper will allow file descriptors to be
     * registered without associated callbacks.  This assumes that the caller of
     * pollOnce() is prepared to handle callback-less events itself.

     * Waits for events to be available, with optional timeout in milliseconds.

     * If the timeout is zero, returns immediately without blocking.
     * If the timeout is negative, waits indefinitely until an event appears.
     *
     * Returns ALOOPER_POLL_WAKE if the poll was awoken using wake() before
     * the timeout expired and no callbacks were invoked and no other file
     * descriptors were ready.

     * Returns ALOOPER_POLL_CALLBACK if one or more callbacks were invoked.
     *
     * Returns ALOOPER_POLL_TIMEOUT if there was no data before the given
     * timeout expired.

     * and it has no callback function (requiring the caller here to handle it).
     * In this (and only this) case outFd, outEvents and outData will contain the poll
     * events and data associated with the fd, otherwise they will be set to NULL.

     * for all file descriptors that were signalled.
