Android：Handler中的Idle Handler

[Android] Handler中的IdleHandler

抛出

Handler中的IdleHandler

• 它有什么能力?
• 它有什么用处?
• 能想到一些合适的场景吗?

Answer1:

首先看下源码的注释

/**
     * Callback interface for discovering when a thread is going to block
     * waiting for more messages.
     */
    public static interface IdleHandler {
        /**
         * Called when the message queue has run out of messages and will now
         * wait for more.  Return true to keep your idle handler active, false
         * to have it removed.  This may be called if there are still messages
         * pending in the queue, but they are all scheduled to be dispatched
         * after the current time.
         */
        boolean queueIdle();
    }

注释中明确的指出当消息队列空闲时会执行IdelHandler的queueIdle()方法，该方法返回一个boolean值， 如果为false则执行完毕之后移除这条消息， 如果为true则保留，等到下次空闲时会再次执行，

下面看下MessageQueue的next()方法可以发现确实是这样。

Message next() {
        ......
        for (;;) {
            ......
            synchronized (this) {
		// 此处为正常消息队列的处理
                ......
                if (mQuitting) {
                    dispose();
                    return null;
                }
                if (pendingIdleHandlerCount < 0
                        && (mMessages == null || now < mMessages.when)) {
                    pendingIdleHandlerCount
