深入Android Handler與線程間通信ITC的詳解

更新時(shí)間：2013年05月21日 12:15:46 作者：

本篇文章是對Android的Handler與線程間通信ITC進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的分析介紹，需要的朋友參考下

在《Android Handler之消息循環(huán)的深入解析》中談到了Handler是用于操作線程內(nèi)部的消息隊(duì)列，所以Handler可以用來線程間通信ITC，這種方式更加安全和高效，可以大大減少同步的煩惱，甚至都可以不用syncrhonized。
線程間通訊ITC
正常情況下函數(shù)調(diào)用棧都會(huì)生存在同一個(gè)線程內(nèi)，想要把執(zhí)行邏輯交換到其他線程可以新建一個(gè)Thread，然后start()。另外一種方法就是用ITC，也即用消息隊(duì)列來實(shí)現(xiàn)，線程需要把執(zhí)行邏輯交到其他線程時(shí)就向另外的線程的消息隊(duì)列發(fā)送一個(gè)消息，發(fā)送消息后函數(shù)就此結(jié)束返回，調(diào)用棧也停止。當(dāng)消息隊(duì)列中有了消息時(shí)，線程會(huì)被喚醒來執(zhí)行處理消息，從而把執(zhí)行邏輯從一個(gè)線程轉(zhuǎn)到另外一個(gè)線程。這就實(shí)現(xiàn)了線程間的通信ITC，與進(jìn)行間通訊IPC有十分類似的思想。

通常的做法都是，在主線程創(chuàng)建一個(gè)Handler，然后在新建線程中使用此Handler與主線程通訊。因?yàn)橹骶€程的消息隊(duì)列已經(jīng)建好，所以直接創(chuàng)建Handler即可，新建的線程就可以直接使用。
有些情況，需要在多線程之間進(jìn)行通信，這就要為每個(gè)線程都創(chuàng)建MessageQueue和Handler，只要線程能訪問其他線程的Handler就可以與之通信。

要正確的創(chuàng)建Handler，因?yàn)镠andler要與線程綁定，所以在初始化Handler的時(shí)候就要注意：
如果給Handler指定Looper對象new Handler(Looper)，那么此Handler便綁定到Looper對象所在的線程中，Handler的消息處理回調(diào)會(huì)在那個(gè)線程中執(zhí)行。
如果創(chuàng)建線程時(shí)不指定Looper對象，那么此Handler綁定到創(chuàng)建此Handler的線程內(nèi)，消息回調(diào)處理會(huì)在那個(gè)線程中執(zhí)行，所以像下面的例子，如果這樣寫：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

private class CookServer extends Thread {
       private Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
               public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                     ....
                }
        };

那么，此mHandler會(huì)與創(chuàng)建此CookerServer的線程綁定，handleMessage也會(huì)運(yùn)行于其中。顯然，如果是主線程調(diào)用new CookServer()，那么mHandler其實(shí)是運(yùn)行在主線程中的。正確的寫法應(yīng)該是：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

private class CookServer extends Thread {
       public void run() {
             Looper.prepare();
                 // or new Handler(Looper.myLooper())
                 private Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
                       public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                     ....
                }
        };

HandlerThread
如果要在一個(gè)線程中使用消息隊(duì)列和Handler，Android API中已經(jīng)有封裝好了的一個(gè)類HandlerThread，這個(gè)類已經(jīng)做好了Looper的初始化工作，你需要做的就是重寫其onLooperPrepared()方法，在其中創(chuàng)建Handler：

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

private class DeliverServer extends HandlerThread {
      private Handler mHandler;
      public DeliverServer(String name) {
           super(name);
      }
      @Override
      public void onLooperPrepared() {
            mHandler = new Handler(getLooper()) {
                    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                        .....
                    }
             };
       }
}

實(shí)例
此實(shí)例模擬了一個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)訂餐系統(tǒng)，客戶點(diǎn)擊“Submit order"來產(chǎn)生一個(gè)定單，主線程中負(fù)責(zé)收集定單，然后交由CookServer來制作，CookServer在制作完成后會(huì)交由DeliverServer來把食物運(yùn)送到客戶，至此一個(gè)定單完成，同時(shí)CookServer和DeliverServer會(huì)更新狀態(tài)。

復(fù)制代碼代碼如下:

/**
 * How to attach an Handler to a Thread:
 * If you specify Looper object to Handler, i.e. new Handler(Looper), then the handler is attached to the thread owning
 * the Looper object, in which handleMessage() is executed.
 * If you do not specify the Looper object, then the handler is attached to the thread calling new Handler(), in which
 * handleMessage() is executed.
 * In this example, for class CookServer or DeliverServer, if you write this way:
 *     private class CookServer extends Thread {
  private Handler mHandler;
  private Looper mLooper;

  public CookServer() {
   mHandler = new Handler() {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
     ....
    }
       start();
  }
 * then mHandler is attached to thread calling new CookServer(), which is the main thread, so mHandler.handleMessage() will
 * be executed in main thread.
 * To attach mHandler to its own thread, you must put it in run(), or after mLooper is created. For our example, providing
 * mLooper or not won't matter, because new Handler() is called in run(), which is in a new thread.
