一个Handler的创建它就会被绑定到这个线程的消息队列中,如果是在主线程创建的,那就不需要写代码来创建消息队列了,默认的消息队列会在主线程被创建。但是如果是在子线程的话,就必须在创建Handler之前先初始化线程的消息队列。如下面的代码:
class ChildThread extends Thread { public void run() { /* * 创建 handler前先初始化Looper. */ Looper.prepare(); /* * 在子线程创建handler,所以会绑定到子线程的消息队列中 * */ mChildHandler = new Handler() { public void handleMessage(Message msg) { /* * Do some expensive operations there. */ } }; /* * 启动该线程的消息队列 */ Looper.loop(); } }
/** * * @author allin.dev * http://allin.cnblogs.com * */ public class MainThread extends Activity { private static final String TAG = "MainThread"; private Handler mMainHandler, mChildHandler; private TextView info; private Button msgBtn; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); info = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.info); msgBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.msgBtn); mMainHandler = new Handler() { @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { Log.i(TAG, "Got an incoming message from the child thread - " + (String) msg.obj); // 接收子线程的消息 info.setText((String) msg.obj); } }; new ChildThread().start(); msgBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (mChildHandler != null) { //发送消息给子线程 Message childMsg = mChildHandler.obtainMessage(); childMsg.obj = mMainHandler.getLooper().getThread().getName() + " says Hello"; mChildHandler.sendMessage(childMsg); Log.i(TAG, "Send a message to the child thread - " + (String)childMsg.obj); } } }); } public void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); Log.i(TAG, "Stop looping the child thread's message queue"); mChildHandler.getLooper().quit(); } class ChildThread extends Thread { private static final String CHILD_TAG = "ChildThread"; public void run() { this.setName("ChildThread"); //初始化消息循环队列,需要在Handler创建之前 Looper.prepare(); mChildHandler = new Handler() { @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { Log.i(CHILD_TAG, "Got an incoming message from the main thread - " + (String)msg.obj); try { //在子线程中可以做一些耗时的工作 sleep(100); Message toMain = mMainHandler.obtainMessage(); toMain.obj = "This is " + this.getLooper().getThread().getName() + ". Did you send me \"" + (String)msg.obj + "\"?"; mMainHandler.sendMessage(toMain); Log.i(CHILD_TAG, "Send a message to the main thread - " + (String)toMain.obj); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } }; Log.i(CHILD_TAG, "Child handler is bound to - "+ mChildHandler.getLooper().getThread().getName()); //启动子线程消息循环队列 Looper.loop(); } } }
