Android消息机制总结 Handler Looper MessageQueue Message

Handler Looper MessageQueue 以及Message是一个整体。

如果线程之间需要发送消息，最常见的方式就是使用Handler。如子线程想要给主线程发送消息，则主线程中创建Handler 并重写handleMessage（）的方法，子线程中通过sendMessage的方法传递消息。如果主线程想要给子线程发送消息，则需要在子线程中创建Looper,(Looper.prepare() ...Looper.loop())的方式完成。主线程中自带Looper，不需要我们手动创建。

一个线程只有一个Looper，只有一个messageQueue,messageQueue中有很多来自不同Handler的message(message.target = handler) 但是可以有多个handler 因为handler是和message绑定在一起的。而Looper存在于ThreadLocal中。

所有的源码可以从地址 进行查找

 

我们从Looper.prepare()开始

  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));
    }

这是一个静态的方法，如果当前ThreadLocal已经存在looper，抛出异常，表明一个线程只能创建一个Looper，为什么呢？这要去ThreadLocal中寻找答案，如果ThreadLocal中没有looper,就去创建，参数表示是否能退出的标志，主线程中的Looper是不允许退出的。

所以我们先去ThreadLocal中寻找答案

在ThreadLocal的get方法中，首先获取当前线程，并通过当前线程获取ThreaLocalMap,如果当前map的entry不为空，返回value,否则返回setInitialValue()方法

 public T get() {
        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
        ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
        if (map != null) {
            ThreadLocalMap.Entry e = map.getEntry(this);
            if (e != null) {
                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                T result = (T)e.value;
                return result;
            }
        }
        return setInitialValue();
    }

其中currentThread(）是一个native方法

    public static native Thread currentThread();

 

在setInitialValue()方法中，value值的获取是通过initialValue()实现的
 

  private T setInitialValue() {
        T value = initialValue();
        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
        ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
        if (map != null)
            map.set(this, value);
        else
            createMap(t, value);
        return value;
    }

最终在initialValue()中可以看到返回null 

   protected T initialValue() {
        return null;
    }

接下来我们看ThreadLocal的set方法，如何保证每一个线程只有一个looper ,可以看到使用ThreadLocalMap通过键值对的方式保存this和looper， 而this 就代表当前的thread对象，从而确保每一个线程中只可能存在一个looper

   public void set(T value) {
        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
        ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
        if (map != null)
            map.set(this, value);
        else
            createMap(t, value);
    }

注意;ThreadLocalMap是一个静态内部类，里里面的Entry继承弱引用 

 static class ThreadLocalMap {

        /**
         * The entries in this hash map extend WeakReference, using
         * its main ref field as the key (which is always a
         * ThreadLocal object).  Note that null keys (i.e. entry.get()
         * == null) mean that the key is no longer referenced, so the
         * entry can be expunged from table.  Such entries are referred to
         * as "stale entries" in the code that follows.
         */
        static class Entry extends WeakReference<ThreadLocal<?>> {
            /** The value associated with this ThreadLocal. */
            Object value;

            Entry(ThreadLocal<?> k, Object v) {
                super(k);
                value = v;
            }
        }

Looper 中还可以通过getMainLooper(）的方法获取主线程的looper 

  public static void prepareMainLooper() {
        prepare(false);
        synchronized (Looper.class) {
            if (sMainLooper != null) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("The main Looper has already been prepared.");
            }
            sMainLooper = myLooper();
        }
    }

    /**
     * Returns the application's main looper, which lives in the main thread of the application.
     */
    public static Looper getMainLooper() {
        synchronized (Looper.class) {
            return sMainLooper;
        }
    }

 

接下来是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();

        // Allow overriding a threshold with a system prop. e.g.
        // adb shell 'setprop log.looper.1000.main.slow 1 && stop && start'
        final int thresholdOverride =
                SystemProperties.getInt("log.looper."
                        + Process.myUid() + "."
                        + Thread.currentThread().getName()
                        + ".slow", 0);

        boolean slowDeliveryDetected = false;

        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;
            long slowDispatchThresholdMs = me.mSlowDispatchThresholdMs;
            long slowDeliveryThresholdMs = me.mSlowDeliveryThresholdMs;
            if (thresholdOverride > 0) {
                slowDispatchThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
                slowDeliveryThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
            }
            final boolean logSlowDelivery = (slowDeliveryThresholdMs > 0) && (msg.when > 0);
            final boolean logSlowDispatch = (slowDispatchThresholdMs > 0);

            final boolean needStartTime = logSlowDelivery || logSlowDispatch;
            final boolean needEndTime = logSlowDispatch;

            if (traceTag != 0 && Trace.isTagEnabled(traceTag)) {
                Trace.traceBegin(traceTag, msg.target.getTraceName(msg));
            }

            final long dispatchStart = needStartTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
            final long dispatchEnd;
            try {
                msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
                dispatchEnd = needEndTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
            } finally {
                if (traceTag != 0) {
                    Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
                }
            }
            if (logSlowDelivery) {
                if (slowDeliveryDetected) {
                    if ((dispatchStart - msg.when) <= 10) {
                        Slog.w(TAG, "Drained");
                        slowDeliveryDetected = false;
                    }
                } else {
                    if (showSlowLog(slowDeliveryThresholdMs, msg.when, dispatchStart, "delivery",
                            msg)) {
                        // Once we write a slow delivery log, suppress until the queue drains.
                        slowDeliveryDetected = true;
                    }
                }
            }
            if (logSlowDispatch) {
                showSlowLog(slowDispatchThresholdMs, dispatchStart, dispatchEnd, "dispatch", 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();
        }
    }

看着很长，我们把不必要的信息删除，loop()方法中最主要的是for循环，调用messageQueue.next()方法取消息，然后通过message的target(就是Handler) dispatchMessage(),最后将消息通过recycleUnchecked()移除,loop（）方法做的事请就是这些。

public static void loop() {
        final Looper me = myLooper();
        if (me == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("No Looper; Looper.prepare() wasn't called on this thread.");
        }
       
        for (;;) {
            Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
            if (msg == null) {
                // No message indicates that the message queue is quitting.
                return;
            }

                      try {
                msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
                dispatchEnd = needEndTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
            } finally {
                if (traceTag != 0) {
                    Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
                }
            }
   
    

            msg.recycleUnchecked();
        }
    }

 我们跳转到MessageQueue.java 去查看next()方法，依旧很长，做的事请就是通过msg.when判断是否取出消息，如果当前时间不到，调用第层naticePollOnce()进入阻塞。如果时间到了，就取出消息。

    Message next() {
        // Return here if the message loop has already quit and been disposed.
        // This can happen if the application tries to restart a looper after quit
        // which is not supported.
        final long ptr = mPtr;
        if (ptr == 0) {
            return null;
        }

        int pendingIdleHandlerCount = -1; // -1 only during first iteration
        int nextPollTimeoutMillis = 0;
        for (;;) {
            if (nextPollTimeoutMillis != 0) {
                Binder.flushPendingCommands();
            }

            nativePollOnce(ptr, nextPollTimeoutMillis);

            synchronized (this) {
                // Try to retrieve the next message.  Return if found.
                final long now = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
                Message prevMsg = null;
                Message msg = mMessages;
                if (msg != null && msg.target == null) {
                    // Stalled by a barrier.  Find the next asynchronous message in the queue.
                    do {
                        prevMsg = msg;
                        msg = msg.next;
                    } while (msg != null && !msg.isAsynchronous());
                }
                if (msg != null) {
                    if (now < msg.when) {
                        // Next message is not ready.  Set a timeout to wake up when it is ready.
                        nextPollTimeoutMillis = (int) Math.min(msg.when - now, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
                    } else {
                        // Got a message.
                        mBlocked = false;
                        if (prevMsg != null) {
                            prevMsg.next = msg.next;
                        } else {
                            mMessages = msg.next;
                        }
                        msg.next = null;
                        if (DEBUG) Log.v(TAG, "Returning message: " + msg);
                        msg.markInUse();
                        return msg;
                    }
                } else {
                    // No more messages.
                    nextPollTimeoutMillis = -1;
                }

                // Process the quit message now that all pending messages have been handled.
                if (mQuitting) {
                    dispose();
                    return null;
                }

                // If first time idle, then get the number of idlers to run.
                // Idle handles only run if the queue is empty or if the first message
                // in the queue (possibly a barrier) is due to be handled in the future.
                if (pendingIdleHandlerCount < 0
                        && (mMessages == null || now < mMessages.when)) {
                    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(TAG, "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;
        }
    }

当取出消息后，使用message.target调用dispatchMessage() ，如果有msg的callback 由callback处理，如果有mCallback。由
mCallback处理，否则调用handleMessage处理，handleMessage()是由我们重写的。

   public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
        if (msg.callback != null) {
            handleCallback(msg);
        } else {
            if (mCallback != null) {
                if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
                    return;
                }
            }
            handleMessage(msg);
        }
    }

   public interface Callback {
        /**
         * @param msg A {@link android.os.Message Message} object
         * @return True if no further handling is desired
         */
        public boolean handleMessage(Message msg);
    }
    
    /**
     * Subclasses must implement this to receive messages.
     */
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
    }

当dispatch结束后，需要销毁消息 msg.recycleUnchecked()。我们去Message.java中查找该方法，方法做的事请是将message的所有字段设置为0，null -1。

/**
     * Recycles a Message that may be in-use.
     * Used internally by the MessageQueue and Looper when disposing of queued Messages.
     */
    void recycleUnchecked() {
        // Mark the message as in use while it remains in the recycled object pool.
        // Clear out all other details.
        flags = FLAG_IN_USE;
        what = 0;
        arg1 = 0;
        arg2 = 0;
        obj = null;
        replyTo = null;
        sendingUid = -1;
        when = 0;
        target = null;
        callback = null;
        data = null;

        synchronized (sPoolSync) {
            if (sPoolSize < MAX_POOL_SIZE) {
                next = sPool;
                sPool = this;
                sPoolSize++;
            }
        }
    }

 当Looper想要退出的时候，调用quit()或quitSafely(）方法，分别是退出和安全退出的模式，它们会调用messageQueue的quit()方法，并传入参数

   public void quit() {
        mQueue.quit(false);
    }

    public void quitSafely() {
        mQueue.quit(true);
    }

在MessageQueue.java的quit方法中，首先判断是否允许退出，如果是主线程的looper则不允许退出 

void quit(boolean safe) {
        if (!mQuitAllowed) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Main thread not allowed to quit.");
        }

        synchronized (this) {
            if (mQuitting) {
                return;
            }
            mQuitting = true;

            if (safe) {
                removeAllFutureMessagesLocked();
            } else {
                removeAllMessagesLocked();
            }

            // We can assume mPtr != 0 because mQuitting was previously false.
            nativeWake(mPtr);
        }
    }

按照是否安全，分别调用removeAllFutureMessagesLocked()和removeAllMessagesLocked，如果removeAllMessagesLocked,对消息直接删除，对每一个消息调用Message的recycleUnchecked（）方法，removeAllFutureMessagesLocked（）则是以当前系统时间为界限，删除>当前时间的所有消息。

private void removeAllMessagesLocked() {
        Message p = mMessages;
        while (p != null) {
            Message n = p.next;
            p.recycleUnchecked();
            p = n;
        }
        mMessages = null;
    }

    private void removeAllFutureMessagesLocked() {
        final long now = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
        Message p = mMessages;
        if (p != null) {
            if (p.when > now) {
                removeAllMessagesLocked();
            } else {
                Message n;
                for (;;) {
                    n = p.next;
                    if (n == null) {
                        return;
                    }
                    if (n.when > now) {
                        break;
                    }
                    p = n;
                }
                p.next = null;
                do {
                    p = n;
                    n = p.next;
                    p.recycleUnchecked();
                } while (n != null);
            }
        }
    }

 MessageQueue中也有removeMessages()的方法，用于删除属于某个Handler的消息，如果想要移除某Handler的所有消息，则Object参数应该设置为null.

void removeMessages(Handler h, int what, Object object) {
        if (h == null) {
            return;
        }

        synchronized (this) {
            Message p = mMessages;

            // Remove all messages at front.
            while (p != null && p.target == h && p.what == what
                   && (object == null || p.obj == object)) {
                Message n = p.next;
                mMessages = n;
                p.recycleUnchecked();
                p = n;
            }

            // Remove all messages after front.
            while (p != null) {
                Message n = p.next;
                if (n != null) {
                    if (n.target == h && n.what == what
                        && (object == null || n.obj == object)) {
                        Message nn = n.next;
                        n.recycleUnchecked();
                        p.next = nn;
                        continue;
                    }
                }
                p = n;
            }
        }
    }

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

当线程需要发送消息的时候，需要调用handler的sendMessage(）或其它方法 区别之处在于是否有runable(callback) 以及是否存在delayMillis，如果delayMillis< 0 则delayMillis= 0，传递参数SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + delayMillis，如果有callback

   public final boolean sendMessage(Message msg)
    {
        return sendMessageDelayed(msg, 0);
    }

    public final boolean sendEmptyMessageDelayed(int what, long delayMillis) {
        Message msg = Message.obtain();
        msg.what = what;
        return sendMessageDelayed(msg, delayMillis);
    }

   public final boolean sendMessageDelayed(Message msg, long delayMillis)
    {
        if (delayMillis < 0) {
            delayMillis = 0;
        }
        return sendMessageAtTime(msg, SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + delayMillis);
    }

 

   public final boolean post(Runnable r)
    {
       return  sendMessageDelayed(getPostMessage(r), 0);
    }

 

    private static Message getPostMessage(Runnable r) {
        Message m = Message.obtain();
        m.callback = r;
        return m;
    }

 

    public final boolean sendMessageDelayed(Message msg, long delayMillis)
    {
        if (delayMillis < 0) {
            delayMillis = 0;
        }
        return sendMessageAtTime(msg, SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + delayMillis);
    }

 无论使用何种方法，最终都会跳转到 sendMessageAtTime()的方法，返回enqueueMessage()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);
    }

在enqueueMessage方法中，调用messageQueue的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);
    }

我们去messageQueue中查看enqueueMessage()方法，通过message.when字段，将消息插入到适合的位置，如果需要唤醒loop,则调用 nativeWake(mPtr)进行唤醒，其中mPtr是native控制的。

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;
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    private long mPtr; // used by native code

这基本上是整个流程。接下来讨论Handler的内存泄露问题，在Handler的某一个构造器中，需要对Handler是否属于匿名类Or成员类or局部类进行判断，如果是，则打印log。

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 " + Thread.currentThread()
                        + " that has not called Looper.prepare()");
        }
        mQueue = mLooper.mQueue;
        mCallback = callback;
        mAsynchronous = async;
    }

在Android的内存泄露中，很多都会强调Handler不能被创建成匿名内部类，因为匿名内部类会默认持有外部引用，而匿名Handler中又会存在message,message存在于messageQueue中，当activity要销毁时，由于handler还有未处理完的消息 ，导致activity不能被销毁，除非在activity销毁时，主动销毁需要处理的消息保证activity能被销毁。另一种做法是将Handler写成静态内部类并持有activity的弱引用。当activity被销毁时，由于handler和activity之间只存在弱引用，activity会被回收。

 

另外：Looper阻塞不会导致ANR，ANR是因为活动、服务、广播等不能及时得到响应造成的，而looper阻塞是因为消息的时间未到或者当前没有消息，只有消息不能及时得到处理，才会ANR
