Android 异步消息机制（Looper、Handler、MessageQueue、Message关系）
Android 异步消息机制，其实就是线程通过Looper建立自己的消息循环机制，MessageQueue是FIFO的消息队列，Looper负责从MessageQueue中取出消息，并且分发到消息指定目标Handler对象。Handler对象绑定到线程的局部变量Looper，封装了发送消息和处理消息的接口。
源码解析
（1）、Looper：Android.os下的Looper主要prepare()和loop()两个方法。我们看一下Looper部分源码：
public final class Looper {
private static final String TAG = "Looper";
static final ThreadLocal<Looper> sThreadLocal = new ThreadLocal<Looper>();
private static Looper sMainLooper;
final MessageQueue mQueue;
final Thread mThread;
private Printer mLogging;
private long mTraceTag;
public static void prepare() {
prepare(true);
}
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));
}
public static Looper getMainLooper() {
synchronized (Looper.class) {
return sMainLooper;
}
}
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;
Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
final long ident = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
for (;;) {
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
final Printer logging = me.mLogging;
if (logging != null) {
logging.println(">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " +
msg.callback + ": " + msg.what);
}
final long traceTag = me.mTraceTag;
if (traceTag != 0 && Trace.isTagEnabled(traceTag)) {
Trace.traceBegin(traceTag, msg.target.getTraceName(msg));
}
try {
msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
} finally {
if (traceTag != 0) {
Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
}
}
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();
}
}
public static @Nullable Looper myLooper() {
return sThreadLocal.get();
}
public static @NonNull MessageQueue myQueue() {
return myLooper().mQueue;
}
private Looper(boolean quitAllowed) {
mQueue = new MessageQueue(quitAllowed);
mThread = Thread.currentThread();
}
}①、prepare()
prepare方法，其实就是向ThreadLocal实例中，存放一个Looper,通过sThreadLocal.get() != null判断条件得出，Looper.prepare()方法不能被调用两次，同时也保证了一个线程中只有一个Looper实例。
Looper构造方法是私有的，并且会创建MessageQueue和Thread。那么如何获取Looper对象呢，我们继续看源码：
从源码中可知Looper就是获取ThreadLocal中Looper。
②、Loop（）
通过源码我们发现
1、与当前线程绑定，保证一个线程只会有一个Looper实例，同时一个Looper实例也只有一个MessageQueue。
2、loop()方法，不断从MessageQueue中去取消息，交给消息的target属性的dispatchMessage去处理，实现Looper不断从消息队列中取出消息，接下处理消息（Handler）
(2)、Handler（android.os）
2.1、构造方法
public Handler() {
this(null, false);
}
public Handler(Callback callback) {
this(callback, false);
}
public Handler(Looper looper) {
this(looper, null, false);
}
public Handler(Looper looper, Callback callback) {
this(looper, callback, false);
}
public Handler(boolean async) {
this(null, async);
}
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;
}
public Handler(Looper looper, Callback callback, boolean async) {
mLooper = looper;
mQueue = looper.mQueue;
mCallback = callback;
mAsynchronous = async;
}
public Handler() {
this(null, false);
}
public Handler(Callback callback) {
this(callback, false);
}
public Handler(Looper looper) {
this(looper, null, false);
}
public Handler(Looper looper, Callback callback) {
this(looper, callback, false);
}
public Handler(boolean async) {
this(null, async);
}
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;
}
public Handler(Looper looper, Callback callback, boolean async) {
mLooper = looper;
mQueue = looper.mQueue;
mCallback = callback;
mAsynchronous = async;
}通过源码，我们发现有七种构造方法，通过构造方法，我们发现
①、通过Looper.myLooper()获取了当前线程保存的Looper实例
②、通过Looper实例获取保存的MessageQueue
③、这样就是实现Handler实例与Looper实例中MessageQueue关联上。
2.2、Handler发送消息
public final boolean sendMessage(Message msg)
{
return sendMessageDelayed(msg, 0);
}
public final boolean sendEmptyMessage(int what)
{
return sendEmptyMessageDelayed(what, 0);
}
public final boolean sendEmptyMessageDelayed(int what, long delayMillis) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
return sendMessageDelayed(msg, delayMillis);
}
public final boolean sendEmptyMessageAtTime(int what, long uptimeMillis) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
return sendMessageAtTime(msg, uptimeMillis);
}
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) {
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);
}我们发现最后调用sendMessageAtTime方法，而sendMessageAtTime方法则是调用的enqueueMessage方法，那么我们继续看一下enqueueMessage方法
private boolean enqueueMessage(MessageQueue queue, Message msg, long uptimeMillis) {
msg.target = this;
if (mAsynchronous) {
msg.setAsynchronous(true);
}
return queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis);
}enqueueMessage中，首先，把消息target赋值为this，这样当前Handler就作为当前msg的target属性，接着看，就会发现，MessageQueue调用enqueueMessage方法，将消息添加消息队列中去。仔细看看Looper中loop方法就会发现msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg)去处理消息。
其实：Looper会调用prepare()和loop()方法，在当前执行的线程中保存一个Looper实例，这个实例会保存一个MessageQueue对象，然后当前线程进入一个无限循环中去，不断从MessageQueue中读取Handler发来的消息。然后再回调创建这个消息的handler中的dispathMessage方法。
接下我们继续看dispathMessage源码
public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
if (msg.callback != null) {
handleCallback(msg);
} else {
if (mCallback != null) {
if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
return;
}
}
handleMessage(msg);
}
}
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
}最后我们发现最终调用handleMessage空方法，因为消息最终回调是由我们控制，所以我们在创建handler时候需要重写handlerMessage，然后根据msg.what来处理。这就是整个流程.
1、首先Looper.prepare()在本线程中保存一个Looper实例，然后该实例中保存一个MessageQueue对象；因为Looper.prepare()在一个线程中只能调用一次，所以MessageQueue在一个线程中只会存在一个。
2、Looper.loop()会让当前线程进入一个无限循环，不端从MessageQueue的实例中读取消息，然后回调msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg)方法。
3、Handler的构造方法，会首先得到当前线程中保存的Looper实例，进而与Looper实例中的MessageQueue想关联。
4、Handler的sendMessage方法，会给msg的target赋值为handler自身，然后加入MessageQueue中。
5、在构造Handler实例时，我们会重写handleMessage方法，也就是msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg)最终调用的方法。
