Android Handler的消息传递机制
Handler类的只要作用有两个:
1. 在新启动的线程中发送消息;2. 在主线程中获取、处理消息。
看上去,Handler的机制很简单。读者不免会问:新启动的线程何时发送消息?主线程何时去获取并处理消息?
为了能让主线程“适时”地处理新启动的线程所发送的消息,显然只能通过回调的方式来实现:开发者只要重写Handler类的处理消息的方法,这样,在新启动的线程发送消息时Handler类中处理消息的方法被自动调用。
Handler类包含如下方法用于发送、处理消息。
1. void handleMessage(Message msg):处理消息方法,该方法通常用于被重写;
2. final boolean hasMessages(int what):检查消息队列中是否包含what属性为指定值的消息;
3. final boolean hasMessage(int what, Object object):检查消息队列中是否包含what属性为指定值且Object属性为指定对象的消息;
4. Message obtainMessage():获取消息;
5. sendEmptyMessage(int what):发送空消息;
6. final boolean sendEmptyMessageDelayed(int what, long delayMillis):指定多少毫秒后发送空消息:
7. final boolean sendMessage(Message msg):立即发送消息;
8. final boolean sendMessageDelayed(Message msg, long delayMillis):指定多少毫秒之后发送消。
