Handlerl自我理解，望指正

Handler:只是message的发送器，通过sendMessageAtTime，调用MessageQueue的enqueueMessage方法消息入列；

Message:消息实体类，得到一个message对象可以new，还可以obtain()方法，obtain()方法如果之前没有回收的message，就直接用之前的，没有也是直接new.但是不建议直接new Message，Message内部保存了一个缓存的消息池，我们用obtain从缓存池获得一个消息，Message使用完后系统会调用recycle回收，如果自己new很多Message，每次使用完后系统放入缓存池，会占用很多内存的

<span style="font-size:18px;">     synchronized (sPoolSync) {
            if (sPool != null) {
                Message m = sPool;
                sPool = m.next;
                m.next = null;
                m.flags = 0; // clear in-use flag
                sPoolSize--;
                return m;
            }
        }
        return new Message();</span>

message 的回收方法

<span style="font-size:18px;">      void recycleUnchecked() {
        // Mark the message as in use while it remains in the recycled object pool.
        // Clear out all other details.
        flags = FLAG_IN_USE;
        what = 0;
        arg1 = 0;
        arg2 = 0;
        obj = null;
        replyTo = null;
        sendingUid = -1;
        when = 0;
        target = null;
        callback = null;
        data = null;

        synchronized (sPoolSync) {
            if (sPoolSize < MAX_POOL_SIZE) {
                next = sPool;
                sPool = this;
                sPoolSize++;
            }
        }
    }</span>

MessageQueue:消息队列,enqueueMessage(Message msg, long when)方法让消息入列。按照消息发送的时间顺序插入。

            if (p == null || when == 0 || when < p.when) {
                // New head, wake up the event queue if blocked.
                msg.next = p;
                mMessages = msg;
                needWake = mBlocked;
            } else {
                // Inserted within the middle of the queue.  Usually we don't have to wake
                // up the event queue unless there is a barrier at the head of the queue
                // and the message is the earliest asynchronous message in the queue.
                needWake = mBlocked && p.target == null && msg.isAsynchronous();
                Message prev;
                for (;;) {
                    prev = p;
                    p = p.next;
                    if (p == null || when < p.when) {
                        break;
                    }
                    if (needWake && p.isAsynchronous()) {
                        needWake = false;
                    }
                }
                msg.next = p; // invariant: p == prev.next
                prev.next = msg;
            }

在enqueueMessage中首先判断，如果当前的消息队列为空，或者新添加的消息的执行时间when是0，或者新添加的消息的执行时间比消息队列头的消息的执行时间还早，就把消息添加到消息队列头（消息队列按时间排序），否则就要找到合适的位置将当前消息添加到消息队列

Looper :不断地从MessageQueue中抽取Message执行。因此，一个MessageQueue需要一个Looper,首先调用prepare初始化MessageQueue与Looper，然后调用loop进入消息循环

public void run() {
    mTid = Process.myTid();
    Looper.prepare(); //  
    synchronized (this) {
        mLooper = Looper.myLooper();
        notifyAll();
    }
    Process.setThreadPriority(mPriority);
    onLooperPrepared();
    Looper.loop();   //
    mTid = -1;
} 

<span style="font-size:18px;">loop方法读取message</span>

<span style="font-size:18px;">    public static void loop() {
        final Looper me = myLooper();
        if (me == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("No Looper; Looper.prepare() wasn't called on this thread.");
        }
        final MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;

        // Make sure the identity of this thread is that of the local process,
        // and keep track of what that identity token actually is.
        Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
        final long ident = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();

        for (;;) {
            Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
            if (msg == null) {
                // No message indicates that the message queue is quitting.
                return;
            }

            // This must be in a local variable, in case a UI event sets the logger
            Printer logging = me.mLogging;
            if (logging != null) {
                logging.println(">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " +
                        msg.callback + ": " + msg.what);
            }

            msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);

            if (logging != null) {
                logging.println("<<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " " + msg.callback);
            }

            // Make sure that during the course of dispatching the
            // identity of the thread wasn't corrupted.
            final long newIdent = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
            if (ident != newIdent) {
                Log.wtf(TAG, "Thread identity changed from 0x"
                        + Long.toHexString(ident) + " to 0x"
                        + Long.toHexString(newIdent) + " while dispatching to "
                        + msg.target.getClass().getName() + " "
                        + msg.callback + " what=" + msg.what);
            }

            msg.recycleUnchecked();
        }
    }
</span>
