Android中Message机制的灵活应用
1.活用Android线程间通信的Message机制
1.1.Message
代码在frameworks\base\core\java\android\Os\Message.java中。
Message.obtain函数:有多个obtain函数,主要功能一样,只是参数不一样。作用是从Message Pool中取出一个Message,如果Message Pool中已经没有Message可取则新建一个Message返回,同时用对应的参数给得到的Message对象赋值。
Message Pool:大小为10个;通过Message.mPool->(Message并且Message.next)-> (Message并且Message.next)-> (Message并且Message.next)...构造一个Message Pool。Message Pool的第一个元素直接new出来,然后把Message.mPool(static类的static变量)指向它。其他的元素都是使用完的 Message通过Message的recycle函数清理后放到Message Pool(通过Message Pool最后一个Message的next指向需要回收的Message的方式实现)。下图为Message Pool的结构:

1.2.MessageQueue
MessageQueue里面有一个收到的Message的对列:
MessageQueue.mMessages(static变量)->( Message并且Message.next)-> ( Message并且Message.next)->...,下图为接收消息的消息队列:

上层代码通过Handler的sendMessage等函数放入一个message到MessageQueue里面时最终会调用 MessageQueue的 enqueueMessage函数。enqueueMessage根据上面的接收的Message的队列的构造把接收到的Message放入队列中。
MessageQueue的removeMessages函数根据上面的接收的Message的队列的构造把接收到的Message从队列中删除,并且调用对应Message对象的recycle函数把不用的Message放入Message Pool中。
1.3.Looper
Looper对象的创建是通过prepare函数,而且每一个Looper对象会和一个线程关联
Java代码
1
public
static
final
void
prepare() {
2 if (sThreadLocal.get() != null ) {
3 throw new RuntimeException( " Only one Looper may be created per thread " );
4 }
5 sThreadLocal.set( new Looper());
6 }
2 if (sThreadLocal.get() != null ) {
3 throw new RuntimeException( " Only one Looper may be created per thread " );
4 }
5 sThreadLocal.set( new Looper());
6 }

public static final void prepare() { if (sThreadLocal.get() != null) { throw new RuntimeException("Only one Looper may be created per thread"); } sThreadLocal.set(new Looper()); }
Looper对象创建时会创建一个MessageQueue,主线程默认会创建一个Looper从而有MessageQueue,其他线程默认是 没有 MessageQueue的不能接收Message,如果需要接收Message则需要通过prepare函数创建一个MessageQueue。具体操 作请见示例代码。
Java代码
1
private
Looper() {
2 mQueue = new MessageQueue();
3 mRun = true ;
4 mThread = Thread.currentThread();
5 }
2 mQueue = new MessageQueue();
3 mRun = true ;
4 mThread = Thread.currentThread();
5 }

private Looper() { mQueue = new MessageQueue(); mRun = true; mThread = Thread.currentThread(); }
prepareMainLooper函数只给主线程调用(系统处理,程序员不用处理),它会调用prepare建立Looper对象和MessageQueue。
Java代码

public static final void prepareMainLooper() { prepare(); setMainLooper(myLooper()); if (Process.supportsProcesses()) { myLooper().mQueue.mQuitAllowed = false; } }
1
public
static
final
void
prepareMainLooper() {
2 prepare();
3 setMainLooper(myLooper());
4 if (Process.supportsProcesses()) {
5 myLooper().mQueue.mQuitAllowed = false ;
6 }
7 }
2 prepare();
3 setMainLooper(myLooper());
4 if (Process.supportsProcesses()) {
5 myLooper().mQueue.mQuitAllowed = false ;
6 }
7 }
Loop函数从MessageQueue中从前往后取出Message,然后通过Handler的dispatchMessage函数进行消息的 处理(可见消息的处理是Handler负责的),消息处理完了以后通过Message对象的recycle函数放到Message Pool中,以便下次使用,通过Pool的处理提供了一定的内存管理从而加速消息对象的获取。至于需要定时处理的消息如何做到定时处理,请见 MessageQueue的next函数,它在取Message来进行处理时通过判断MessageQueue里面的Message是否符合时间要求来决 定是否需要把Message取出来做处理,通过这种方式做到消息的定时处理。
Java代码

1
public
static
final
void
loop() {
2 Looper me = myLooper();
3 MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;
4 while ( true ) {
5 Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
6 // if (!me.mRun) {
7 // break;
8 // }
9 if (msg != null ) {
10 if (msg.target == null ) {
11 // No target is a magic identifier for the quit message
12 return ;
13 }
14
15 if (me.mLogging != null )
16 me.mLogging.println( " >>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " + msg.callback + " : " + msg.what);
17 msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
18 if (me.mLogging != null )
19 me.mLogging.println( " <<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " " + msg.callback);
20 msg.recycle();
21 }
22 }
23 }
2 Looper me = myLooper();
3 MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;
4 while ( true ) {
5 Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
6 // if (!me.mRun) {
7 // break;
8 // }
9 if (msg != null ) {
10 if (msg.target == null ) {
11 // No target is a magic identifier for the quit message
12 return ;
13 }
14
15 if (me.mLogging != null )
16 me.mLogging.println( " >>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " + msg.callback + " : " + msg.what);
17 msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
18 if (me.mLogging != null )
19 me.mLogging.println( " <<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " " + msg.callback);
20 msg.recycle();
21 }
22 }
23 }
1.4.Handler
Handler的构造函数表示Handler会有成员变量指向Looper和MessageQueue,后面我们会看到没什么需要这些引用;至于callback是实现了Callback接口的对象,后面会看到这个对象的作用。
Java代码
1
public
Handler(Looper looper, Callback callback) {
2 mLooper = looper;
3 mQueue = looper.mQueue;
4 mCallback = callback;
5 }
6
7 public interface Callback {
8 public boolean handleMessage(Message msg);
9 }
2 mLooper = looper;
3 mQueue = looper.mQueue;
4 mCallback = callback;
5 }
6
7 public interface Callback {
8 public boolean handleMessage(Message msg);
9 }

public Handler(Looper looper, Callback callback) { mLooper = looper; mQueue = looper.mQueue; mCallback = callback; } public interface Callback { public boolean handleMessage(Message msg); }
获取消息:直接通过Message的obtain方法获取一个Message对象。
Java代码
1
public
final
Message obtainMessage(
int
what,
int
arg1,
int
arg2, Object obj){
2 return Message.obtain( this , what, arg1, arg2, obj);
3 }
2 return Message.obtain( this , what, arg1, arg2, obj);
3 }

public final Message obtainMessage(int what, int arg1, int arg2, Object obj){ return Message.obtain(this, what, arg1, arg2, obj); }
发送消息:通过MessageQueue的enqueueMessage把Message对象放到MessageQueue的接收消息队列中
Java代码

public boolean sendMessageAtTime(Message msg, long uptimeMillis){ boolean sent = false; MessageQueue queue = mQueue; if (queue != null) { msg.target = this; sent = queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis); } else { RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException(this + " sendMessageAtTime() called with no mQueue"); Log.w("Looper", e.getMessage(), e); } return sent; }
1
public
boolean
sendMessageAtTime(Message msg,
long
uptimeMillis){
2 boolean sent = false ;
3 MessageQueue queue = mQueue;
4 if (queue != null ) {
5 msg.target = this ;
6 sent = queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis);
7 } else {
8 RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException( this + " sendMessageAtTime() called with no mQueue " );
9 Log.w( " Looper " , e.getMessage(), e);
10 }
11 return sent;
12 }
2 boolean sent = false ;
3 MessageQueue queue = mQueue;
4 if (queue != null ) {
5 msg.target = this ;
6 sent = queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis);
7 } else {
8 RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException( this + " sendMessageAtTime() called with no mQueue " );
9 Log.w( " Looper " , e.getMessage(), e);
10 }
11 return sent;
12 }
线程如何处理MessageQueue中接收的消息:在Looper的loop函数中循环取出MessageQueue的接收消息队列中的消息, 然后调用 Hander的dispatchMessage函数对消息进行处理,至于如何处理(相应消息)则由用户指定(三个方法,优先级从高到低:Message里 面的Callback,一个实现了Runnable接口的对象,其中run函数做处理工作;Handler里面的mCallback指向的一个实现了 Callback接口的对象,里面的handleMessage进行处理;处理消息Handler对象对应的类继承并实现了其中 handleMessage函数,通过这个实现的handleMessage函数处理消息)。
Java代码
1
public
void
dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
2 if (msg.callback != null ) {
3 handleCallback(msg);
4 } else {
5 if (mCallback != null ) {
6 if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
7 return ;
8 }
9 }
10 handleMessage(msg);
11 }
12 }
2 if (msg.callback != null ) {
3 handleCallback(msg);
4 } else {
5 if (mCallback != null ) {
6 if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
7 return ;
8 }
9 }
10 handleMessage(msg);
11 }
12 }

public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) { if (msg.callback != null) { handleCallback(msg); } else { if (mCallback != null) { if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) { return; } } handleMessage(msg); } }
Runnable说明:Runnable只是一个接口,实现了这个接口的类对应的对象也只是个普通的对象,并不是一个Java中的Thread。Thread类经常使用Runnable,很多人有误解,所以这里澄清一下。
从上可知以下关系图:

其中清理Message是Looper里面的loop函数指把处理过的Message放到Message的Pool里面去,如果里面已经超过最大值10个,则丢弃这个Message对象。
调用Handler是指Looper里面的loop函数从MessageQueue的接收消息队列里面取出消息,然后根据消息指向的Handler对象调用其对应的处理方法。

说明(代码详细解释请见后文):
使用Looper.myLooper静态方法可以取得当前线程的Looper对象。
使用mHandler = new EevntHandler(Looper.myLooper()); 可建立用来处理当前线程的Handler对象;其中,EevntHandler是Handler的子类。
使用mHandler = new EevntHandler(Looper.getMainLooper()); 可建立用来处理main线程的Handler对象;其中,EevntHandler是Handler的子类。
1.5.1.主线程给自己发送消息示例
主线程发送消息:
在onClick的case 101中创建一个继承自Handler的EventHandler对象,然后获取一个消息,然后通过EventHandler对象调用 sendMessage把消息发送到主线程的MessageQueue中。主线程由系统创建,系统会给它建立一个Looper对象和 MessageQueue,所以可以接收消息。这里只要根据主线程的Looper对象初始化EventHandler对象,就可以通过 EventHandler对象发送消息到主线程的消息队列中。
主线程处理消息:
这里是通过EventHandler的handleMessage函数处理的,其中收到的Message对象中what值为一的消息就是发送给它的,然后把消息里面附带的字符串在TextView上显示出来。
1.5.2.其他线程给主线程发送消息示例
其他线程发送消息(这里是说不使用Runnable作为callback的消息):
首先 postRunnable设为false,表示不通过Runnable方式进行消息相关的操作。然后启动线程noLooerThread,然后以主线程的 Looper对象为参数建立EventHandler的对象mNoLooperThreadHandler,然后获取一个Message并把一个字符串赋 值给它的一个成员obj,然后通过mNoLooperThreadHandler把消息发送到主线程的MessageQueue中。
主线程处理消息:
这里是通过EventHandler的handleMessage函数处理的,其中收到的Message对象中what值为二的消息就是上面发送给它的,然后把消息里面附带的字符串在TextView上显示出来。
1.5.3.其他线程给自己发送消息示例
其他线程发送消息:
其他非主线程建立后没有自己的Looper对象,所以也没有MessageQueue,需要给非主线程发送消息时需要建立 MessageQueue以便接收消息。下面说明如何给自己建立MessageQueue和Looper对象。从OwnLooperThread的run 函数中可以看见有一个 Looper.prepare()调用,这个就是用来建立非主线程的MessageQueue和Looper对象的。
所以这里的发送消息过程是建立线程mOwnLooperThread,然后线程建立自己的Looper和MessageQueue对象,然后根据 上面建立的Looper对象建立对应的EventHandler对象mOwnLooperThreadHandler,然后由 mOwnLooperThreadHandler建立消息并且发送到自己的MessageQueue里面。
其他线程处理接收的消息:
线程要接收消息需要在run函数中调用Looper.loop(),然后loop函数会从MessageQueue中取出消息交给对应的 Handler对象 mOwnLooperThreadHandler处理,在mOwnLooperThreadHandler的handleMessage函数中会把 Message对象中what值为三的消息(上面发送的消息)在Log中打印出来,可以通过Logcat工具查看log。
1.5.4.其他线程以Runnable为消息参数给主线程发送消息示例
其他线程发送消息(这里是说使用Runnable作为callback的消息):
首先 postRunnable设为true,表示通过Runnable方式进行消息相关的操作。然后启动线程noLooerThread,然后以主线程的 Looper对象为参数建立EventHandler的对象mNoLooperThreadHandler,然后获取一个Message并把一个字符串赋 值给它的一个成员obj,然后通过mNoLooperThreadHandler把消息发送到主线程的MessageQueue中。
主线程处理消息:
主线程收到上面发送的Message后直接运行上面Runnable对象中的run函数进行相应的操作。run函数通过Log打印一个字符串,可以通过Logcat工具查看log。
1.5.5.主线程给其他线程发送消息示例
主线程发送消息:
这里首先要求线程receiveMessageThread运行(在onCreate函数中完成),并且准备好自己的Looper和 MessageQueue(这个通过ReceiveMessageThread中的run函数中的Looper.prepare()调用完成),然后根据 建立的Looper对象初始化Handler对象mOtherThreadHandler。然后在onClick的case 105中由mOtherThreadHandler建立一个消息(消息中有一个字符串对象)并且发送到线程receiveMessageThread中的 MessageQueue中。
其他线程处理接收的消息:
线程要接收消息需要在run函数中调用Looper.loop(),然后loop函数会从MessageQueue中取出消息交给对应的 Handler对象mOtherThreadHandler处理,在mOtherThreadHandler的handleMessage函数中会把 Message对象中的字符串对象在Log中打印出来,可以通过Logcat工具查看log。
