Handler、Message、Loopler、MessageQueen
首先看一下我们平常使用Handler的一个最常见用法。
Handler handler =new Handler(){ @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { super.handleMessage(msg); //这里进行一些UI操作等处理 } new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { Message message = Message.obtain(); ........ handler.sendMessage(message); } }); };
看一下handler的构造函数的源码
public Handler() { this(null, false);}//他会调用本类中的如下构造函数public Handler(Callback callback, boolean async) { if (FIND_POTENTIAL_LEAKS) { final Class<? extends Handler> klass = getClass(); if ((klass.isAnonymousClass() || klass.isMemberClass() || klass.isLocalClass()) && (klass.getModifiers() & Modifier.STATIC) == 0) { Log.w(TAG, "The following Handler class should be static or leaks might occur: " + klass.getCanonicalName()); } } mLooper = Looper.myLooper(); if (mLooper == null) { throw new RuntimeException( "Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()"); } mQueue = mLooper.mQueue; mCallback = callback; mAsynchronous = async; }
看到当mLooper == null时会抛一个“Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()”这个异常，所以我们在创建handler实例前首先需要调用Looper.prepare()
public static void prepare() { prepare(true);}//将looper保存到ThreadLocal中，这里可以把ThreadLocal理解为一个以当前线程为键的Map，所以一个线程中只会有一个looperprivate 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));}//我们看到在new Looper(quitAllowed)中，创建了一个消息队列MessageQueenprivate Looper(boolean quitAllowed) { mQueue = new MessageQueue(quitAllowed); mThread = Thread.currentThread();}
接下来我们看handler.sendMessage(message)这个方法，从字面意思就是将信息发送出去。一般sendMessage累的方法最终都会调用sendMessageAtTime(Message msg, long uptimeMillis)这个方法
public boolean sendMessageAtTime(Message msg, long uptimeMillis) { MessageQueue queue = mQueue; if (queue == null) { RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException( this + " sendMessageAtTime() called with no mQueue"); Log.w("Looper", e.getMessage(), e); return false; } return enqueueMessage(queue, msg, uptimeMillis); }
我们看到最终会执行enqueueMessage(queue, msg, uptimeMillis)这个方法
private boolean enqueueMessage(MessageQueue queue, Message msg, long uptimeMillis) { msg.target = this; if (mAsynchronous) { msg.setAsynchronous(true); } return queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis); }
最终又会调用MessageQueen中的queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis)这个方法，这里的queue就是looper构造方法中创建的那个消息队列
//MessageQueen的enqueueMessage方法 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; }
MessageQueen虽然名字是一个队列，但实质上他是一个单向链表，这个结构能快速进行插入和删除操作。从上面源码可以看出来，主要是按照发送消息的时间顺序将msg插入到消息队列中。接下来我们就需要从消息队列中取出msg了。这时候就需要调用Looper.loop()方法。
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 (;;) { //不断从消息队列中取出msg 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); } //将msg交由handler处理 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(); } }
可以看到Looper.loop()方法通过在一个死循环中调用Message msg = queue.next()将消息不断的从消息队列中取出来。queue.next()方法的作用就是从消息队列中取msg，唯一跳出循环的方式是MessageQueen的next方法返回了null。现在msg已经取出来，下一步就是怎样将他传递给handler了对吧。所以在死循环中还有一个方法msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg) ，而msg.target就是handler，在上面handler的enqueueMessage()方法中传入的msg.target = this，this就是handler本身，接下来就看看handler的dispatchMessage()方法
public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) { if (msg.callback != null) { handleCallback(msg); } else { if (mCallback != null) { if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) { return; } } handleMessage(msg); } }
如果我们采用无参的构造函数创建handler，msg.callback与mCallback均为空，所以我们会调用handleMessage(msg)，这样文章开头的那个实例整个流程就走完了，handleMessage(msg)会在handler实例所在的线程中执行。
//当我们通过这种方式创建handler时，dispatchMessage中的mCallback就不为null public Handler(Callback callback) { this(callback, false); }//Callback是一个接口，里面正好也有我们需要的handleMessage(Message msg)，dispatchMessage中的 if (mCallback != null) 语句内的内容，就是我们需要重写的handleMessage(Message msg)方法 public interface Callback { public boolean handleMessage(Message msg); }
//当我们调用handler.post()方法执行异步任务时 public final boolean post(Runnable r) { return sendMessageDelayed(getPostMessage(r), 0); }//getPostMessage(r)这个方法中我们看到给m.callback赋值了，就是我们传入的runnable接口 private static Message getPostMessage(Runnable r) { Message m = Message.obtain(); m.callback = r; return m; }//最后在handleCallback方法中我们执行了它的run方法,这也就解释了为什么在子线程中可以用handler.post(Runnable r)更新UI private static void handleCallback(Message message) { message.callback.run(); }
总结
梳理整个执行过程
1.调用Looper.prepare()方法，这是创建handler所必须的。在主线程中由于ActivityThread已经通过Looper.prepareMainLooper（）方法创建过looper，所以在主线程中创建handler以前无需创建looper，并通过Looper.loop()来开启主线程的消息循环。
2.通过调用handler.sendMessage(message)方法最终会执行enqueueMessage(queue, msg, uptimeMillis)，enqueueMessage又会调用MessageQueen的queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis)，这样消息就会被添加到消息队列中。
3.调用Looper.loop()方法在死循环中执行Message msg = queue.next()，不断的将msg从消息队列中取出来，同时执行msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg)，将消息传递给handler，由handler来处理，如我们调用的handleMessage就是处理消息的方式之一。
异步处理机制流程图
从子线程进行UI 操作的几种方式
Android 提供了几种途径来从其他线程访问 UI 线程。以下列出了几种有用的方法：
• Activity.runOnUiThread(Runnable) • View.post(Runnable) 这里的view就是我们需要改变的ui控件 • View.postDelayed(Runnable, long) • Handler.post(Runnable, long)
但是，随着操作日趋复杂，这类代码也会变得复杂且难以维护。 要通过工作线程处理更复杂的交互，可以考虑在工作线程中使用 Handler 处理来自 UI 线程的消息。当然，最好的解决方案或许是扩展 AsyncTask 类，此类简化了与 UI 进行交互所需执行的工作线程任务。
