1.一个线程可以有多个Handler吗？
答：可以。例如，Android 的 每一个Activity都可以创建Handler对象，但它们都是运行在同一个主线程中的。
2. 一个线程有几个Looper？如何保证的？
答：一个线程只有一个Looper对象。
private static void prepare(boolean quitAllowed) {
if (sThreadLocal.get() != null) {
throw new RuntimeException("Only one Looper may be created per thread");
}
sThreadLocal.set(new Looper(quitAllowed));
}
从Looper的源码得知，在looper的prepare()函数中，其通过threadlocal来获取looper的对象。
/**
* Returns the value in the current thread's copy of this
* thread-local variable. If the variable has no value for the
* current thread, it is first initialized to the value returned
* by an invocation of the {@link #initialValue} method.
*
* @return the current thread's value of this thread-local
*/
public T get() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
if (map != null) {
ThreadLocalMap.Entry e = map.getEntry(this);
if (e != null) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
T result = (T)e.value;
return result;
}
}
return setInitialValue();
}
上面为threadlocal的get()函数。可以看出threadlocal的内部维护了一个ThreadLocalMap类。该类是以当前thread做为key的。因此可以得知，一个线程最多只能有一个looper对象。
/**
* Sets the current thread's copy of this thread-local variable
* to the specified value. Most subclasses will have no need to
* override this method, relying solely on the {@link #initialValue}
* method to set the values of thread-locals.
*
* @param value the value to be stored in the current thread's copy of
* this thread-local.
*/
public void set(T value) {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
if (map != null)
map.set(this, value);
else
createMap(t, value);
}
以上为threadlocal的set方法。
3.Handler内存泄露的原因？为什么其他的内部类没有说有这个问题？
1.所有的非静态内部类都会持有外部类的引用。当外部类需要销毁而内部类仍在运行时，java的GC机制将导致外部类的引用不会被销毁，从而导致内存泄露。所以所有的非静态内部类都可能会导致内存泄露。
2.MessageQueue存储了Message，而Message的target属性为handler对象，handler又持有的Activity等context的对象，这就导致了内存泄露。
public static void loop() {
//省略代码
try {
msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
dispatchEnd = needEndTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
} finally {
if (traceTag != 0) {
Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
}
}
//省略代码
}
以上为looper的loop方法。
private boolean enqueueMessage(MessageQueue queue, Message msg, long uptimeMillis) {
msg.target = this;
if (mAsynchronous) {
msg.setAsynchronous(true);
}
return queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis);
}
以上为handler的enqueueMessage函数（所有的send和post方法最终都会调用该函数）
4.怎么处理handler的内存泄露；
1.静态内部类+弱引用；
2.针对与在子线程开启的消息队列，可以在需要结束的时候，调用lopper的quitSafely()方法。
上代码：
public void quit() {
mQueue.quit(false);
}
/**
* Quits the looper safely.
*
* Causes the {@link #loop} method to terminate as soon as all remaining messages
* in the message queue that are already due to be delivered have been handled.
* However pending delayed messages with due times in the future will not be
* delivered before the loop terminates.
*
* Any attempt to post messages to the queue after the looper is asked to quit will fail.
* For example, the {@link Handler#sendMessage(Message)} method will return false.
*
*/
public void quitSafely() {
mQueue.quit(true);
}
以上为looper的quit函数。
void quit(boolean safe) {
if (!mQuitAllowed) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Main thread not allowed to quit.");
}
synchronized (this) {
if (mQuitting) {
return;
}
mQuitting = true;
if (safe) {
removeAllFutureMessagesLocked();
} else {
removeAllMessagesLocked();
}
// We can assume mPtr != 0 because mQuitting was previously false.
nativeWake(mPtr);
}
}
以上为MessageQueue的quit函数。在此函数里，消息队列会移除队列里的所有消息。此时MessageQueue将不会持有message,更不会间接的持有handler的引用。从而消除handler的内存泄露问题。
补充：
在子线程内开启消息队列，
1.先通过调用Looper.prepare()函数来创建looper对象；
2.创建handler对象；
3.调用looper.loop()函数来循环不断的从messagequeue里获取message；
4.结束消息队列时，调用looper.quit()函数来清空messagequeue里的消息，来防止内存泄露。
5.既然可以存在多个Handler往MessageQueue中添加数据（发送消息时，各个Handler可能处于不同的线程），它内部是如何保持线程安全的？
boolean enqueueMessage(Message msg, long when) {
if (msg.target == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Message must have a target.");
}
if (msg.isInUse()) {
throw new IllegalStateException(msg + " This message is already in use.");
}
synchronized (this) {
if (mQuitting) {
IllegalStateException e = new IllegalStateException(
msg.target + " sending message to a Handler on a dead thread");
Log.w(TAG, e.getMessage(), e);
msg.recycle();
return false;
}
msg.markInUse();
msg.when = when;
Message p = mMessages;
boolean needWake;
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;
}
// We can assume mPtr != 0 because mQuitting is false.
if (needWake) {
nativeWake(mPtr);
}
}
return true;
}
通过synchronized锁机制保证线程安全
6.使用Handler的postDelay后消息队列有什么变化？
消息队列会重新排序。
boolean enqueueMessage(Message msg, long when) {
if (msg.target == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Message must have a target.");
}
if (msg.isInUse()) {
throw new IllegalStateException(msg + " This message is already in use.");
}
synchronized (this) {
if (mQuitting) {
IllegalStateException e = new IllegalStateException(
msg.target + " sending message to a Handler on a dead thread");
Log.w(TAG, e.getMessage(), e);
msg.recycle();
return false;
}
msg.markInUse();
msg.when = when;
Message p = mMessages;
boolean needWake;
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;
}
// We can assume mPtr != 0 because mQuitting is false.
if (needWake) {
nativeWake(mPtr);
}
}
return true;
}
handler的postDelay()函数最终会调用messagequeue的enqueueMessage()函数。
该函数里会按照执行开始时间，对messagequeue里的message进行重新排序。
7.Looper死循环为什么不会导致应用卡死？
1.导致应用卡死的原因只有一下几种情况：
a)输入事件在5秒内未响应；
b)在主线程执行耗时操作；
2.Looper.loop()函数会在死循环里不断的去获取messagequeue里的message，当消息队列里没有消息的时候，looper会进入睡眠阶段。Looper为了防止message执行过于耗时的操作，导致队列阻塞，就给message设置一个ANR的状态。可见，looper的死循环和应用卡死是两个不同的概念。
