Android 主线程和线程之间相互发送消息

   通过分析Activity源码，我们知道每个Activity都有一个Looper，所以主线程在接收Message是不需要调用Looper.prepare()和Looper.loop()，但是线程是不带Looper的，当线程要接收来自主线程的消息是就需要调用Looper.prepare()和Looper.loop()。以下我们将通过一个示例，讲述主线程和线程之间如何发送Message。

 

01	import android.app.Activity;

02	import android.os.Bundle;

03	import android.os.Handler;

04	import android.os.Message;

05	import android.widget.Toast;

07

/**

08	* 这个类是主线程，它每隔两秒就发送一个Message给线程，线程收到Message后将发送一个Message给主线程，主线程收到Message后会将Message内容Toast出来。

09	* org.fneg.HandlerTestActivity.java
