android hanlder loop message的理解
转： http://www.maxiaoguo.com/shipin/388.html
自己翻阅了下源码，说下自己看到的东西
初始化
每个acitivity在创建的时候 会调用attach方法，这个方法中会传递过一个activityThread 也就是在activity创建的时候就会生成一个activityThread；
在ActivityThread 方法中有一个 main 的主函数
public static final void main(String[] args) {
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = new Handler();
}
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false);
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
Looper.loop();
if (Process.supportsProcesses()) {
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}
thread.detach();
String name = (thread.mInitialApplication != null)
? thread.mInitialApplication.getPackageName()
: "<unknown>";
Slog.i(TAG, "Main thread of " + name + " is now exiting");
}Looper.prepareMainLooper();
方法跟如时间上是new一个looper 然后设置到 线程中（所在线程） 如下
sThreadLocal.set(new Looper());
然后是创建Handler
然后是创建新的activityThread ，这一步没看出是做的什么东西。估计是初始化，启动别的acitivty做准备吧，不确定
然后是 Looper.loop(); 方法，
然后进入到Looper类中
/**
* Run the message queue in this thread. Be sure to call
* {@link #quit()} to end the loop.
*/
public static final void loop() {
Looper me = myLooper();
MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;
while (true) {
Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
//if (!me.mRun) {
// break;
//}
if (msg != null) {
if (msg.target == null) {
// No target is a magic identifier for the quit message.
return;
}
if (me.mLogging!= null) me.mLogging.println(
">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " "
+ msg.callback + ": " + msg.what
);
msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
if (me.mLogging!= null) me.mLogging.println(
"<<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " "
+ msg.callback);
msg.recycle();
}
}
}
第一行 是获取本地线程的looper，然后获取looper中的messageQueue，然后循环遍历messageQueue中的消息
初始化完成了。
第二步 Handler 发送消息
handler 调用sendmessage方法发送消息
public final boolean sendMessage(Message msg)
{
return sendMessageDelayed(msg, 0);
}
public final boolean sendMessageDelayed(Message msg, long delayMillis)
{
if (delayMillis < 0) {
delayMillis = 0;
}
return sendMessageAtTime(msg, SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + delayMillis);
}
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;
} mQueue 是在handler的构造方法中初始化的
mQueue = mLooper.mQueue;
那看下 queue中的enqueueMessage方法
final boolean enqueueMessage(Message msg, long when) {
if (msg.when != 0) {
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(msg
+ " This message is already in use.");
}
if (msg.target == null && !mQuitAllowed) {
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread not allowed to quit");
}
final boolean needWake;
synchronized (this) {
if (mQuiting) {
RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException(
msg.target + " sending message to a Handler on a dead thread");
Log.w("MessageQueue", e.getMessage(), e);
return false;
} else if (msg.target == null) {
mQuiting = true;
}
msg.when = when;
//Log.d("MessageQueue", "Enqueing: " + msg);
Message p = mMessages;
if (p == null || when == 0 || when < p.when) {
msg.next = p;
mMessages = msg;
needWake = mBlocked; // new head, might need to wake up
} else {
Message prev = null;
while (p != null && p.when <= when) {
prev = p;
p = p.next;
}
msg.next = prev.next;
prev.next = msg;
needWake = false; // still waiting on head, no need to wake up
}
}
if (needWake) {
nativeWake(mPtr);
}
return true;
}此方法是把message 生成一段链表，注意是链。
handler获取，注意是获取，被动获取，不是主动的
当把message 放倒mq中的时候，在acitivtyThread 的main函数有一个Looper.looper
looper.java
public static final void loop() {
Looper me = myLooper();
MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;
while (true) {
Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
//if (!me.mRun) {
// break;
//}
if (msg != null) {
if (msg.target == null) {
// No target is a magic identifier for the quit message.
return;
}
if (me.mLogging!= null) me.mLogging.println(
">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " "
+ msg.callback + ": " + msg.what
);
msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
if (me.mLogging!= null) me.mLogging.println(
"<<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " "
+ msg.callback);
msg.recycle();
}
}
}queue.next
final Message next() {
int pendingIdleHandlerCount = -1; // -1 only during first iteration
int nextPollTimeoutMillis = 0;
for (;;) {
if (nextPollTimeoutMillis != 0) {
Binder.flushPendingCommands();
}
nativePollOnce(mPtr, nextPollTimeoutMillis);
synchronized (this) {
// Try to retrieve the next message. Return if found.
final long now = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
<span style="color:#cc0000;">final Message msg = mMessages;</span>
if (msg != null) {
final long when = msg.when;
if (now >= when) {
mBlocked = false;
mMessages = msg.next;
msg.next = null;
if (Config.LOGV) Log.v("MessageQueue", "Returning message: " + msg);
return msg;
} else {
nextPollTimeoutMillis = (int) Math.min(when - now, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
}
} else {
nextPollTimeoutMillis = -1;
}
// If first time, then get the number of idlers to run.
if (pendingIdleHandlerCount < 0) {
pendingIdleHandlerCount = mIdleHandlers.size();
}
if (pendingIdleHandlerCount == 0) {
// No idle handlers to run. Loop and wait some more.
mBlocked = true;
continue;
}
if (mPendingIdleHandlers == null) {
mPendingIdleHandlers = new IdleHandler[Math.max(pendingIdleHandlerCount, 4)];
}
mPendingIdleHandlers = mIdleHandlers.toArray(mPendingIdleHandlers);
}
// Run the idle handlers.
// We only ever reach this code block during the first iteration.
for (int i = 0; i < pendingIdleHandlerCount; i++) {
final IdleHandler idler = mPendingIdleHandlers[i];
mPendingIdleHandlers[i] = null; // release the reference to the handler
boolean keep = false;
try {
keep = idler.queueIdle();
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.wtf("MessageQueue", "IdleHandler threw exception", t);
}
if (!keep) {
synchronized (this) {
mIdleHandlers.remove(idler);
}
}
}
// Reset the idle handler count to 0 so we do not run them again.
pendingIdleHandlerCount = 0;
// While calling an idle handler, a new message could have been delivered
// so go back and look again for a pending message without waiting.
nextPollTimeoutMillis = 0;
}
}
在插入message的时候
final Message msg = mMessages; 这段代码中mMessages是刚才插入的消息。
当mq的next方法 发现如果有message的时候 return出来
Looper.looper 方法
public static final void loop() {
Looper me = myLooper();
MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;
while (true) {
Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
//if (!me.mRun) {
// break;
//}
if (msg != null) {
if (msg.target == null) {
// No target is a magic identifier for the quit message.
return;
}
if (me.mLogging!= null) me.mLogging.println(
">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " "
+ msg.callback + ": " + msg.what
);
msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
if (me.mLogging!= null) me.mLogging.println(
"<<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " "
+ msg.callback);
msg.recycle();
}
}
}获取到message 然后 dispathMessage
然后调用DispathMessage
public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
if (msg.callback != null) {
handleCallback(msg);
} else {
if (mCallback != null) {
if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
return;
}
}
handleMessage(msg);
}
}
然后回到hanlderMessage方法。
总结
初始化looper handler 开始循环
然后handler发消息，插入到looper中的mq 中的链表中
现在looper还在循环，循环发现mq中的消息有了，然后回调到handMessage方法。
