Android HandlerThread 完全解析

1、概述

话说最近股市变动不变，也成了热火朝天的话题。不知道大家有没有考虑做个实时更新股市数据的app呢？假设我们要做一个股市数据实时更新的app，我们可以在网上找个第三方的股市数据接口，然后在我们的app中每隔1分钟（合适的时间）去更新数据，然后更新我们的UI即可。

当然了，本文不是要教大家做这样一个app，只是举个场景。言归正传，回到我们的HandlerThread，大家一定听说过Looper、Handler、Message三者的关系（如果不了解，可以查看Android 异步消息处理机制 让你深入理解
Looper、Handler、Message三者关系），在我们的UI线程默默的为我们服务。其实我们可以借鉴UI线程Looper的思想，搞个子线程，也通过Handler、Message通信，可以适用于很多场景。

对了，我之前写过一篇博文Android Handler 异步消息处理机制的妙用 创建强大的图片加载类，这篇博文中就在子线程中创建了Looper，Handler，原理和HandlerThread一模一样，可惜当时我并不知道这个类，不过大家也可以当做HandlerThread应用场景进行学习。

2、HandlerThread实例

下面看我们模拟大盘走势的代码，其实非常简单，就一个Activity

可以看到我们在onCreate中，去创建和启动了HandlerThread，并且关联了一个mCheckMsgHandler。然后我们分别在onResume和onPause中去开启和暂停我们的查询，最后在onDestory中去释放资源。

这样就实现了我们每隔5s去服务端查询最新的数据，然后更新我们的UI，当然我们这里通过Thread.sleep()模拟耗时，返回了一个随机数，大家可以很轻易的换成真正的数据接口。

运行效果图



别问我为什么要用红色！！！

ok，当然了，我们的效果很单调，但是你完全可以去扩展，比如ListView显示用户关注的股票数据。或者是其他的需要一直检测更新的数据。

看到这，你是否好奇呢，HandlerThread的内部是如何做的呢？其实非常的简单，如果你看过Android 异步消息处理机制 让你深入理解 Looper、Handler、Message三者关系估计扫几眼就会了。

HandlerThread 源码分析

对于所有Looper，Handler相关细节统一参考上面提到的文章。

我们轻轻的掀开HandlerThread的源码，还记得我们是通过

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;"> mCheckMsgThread = <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">new</span> HandlerThread(<span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"check-message-coming"</span>);
mCheckMsgThread.start(); </code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li></ul>

看到了什么，其实我们就是初始化和启动了一个线程；然后我们看run()方法，可以看到该方法中调用了Looper.prepare()，Loop.loop();

prepare()呢，中创建了一个Looper对象，并且把该对象放到了该线程范围内的变量中（sThreadLocal），在Looper对象的构造过程中，初始化了一个MessageQueue，作为该Looper对象成员变量。

loop()就开启了，不断的循环从MessageQueue中取消息处理了，当没有消息的时候会阻塞，有消息的到来的时候会唤醒。如果你不明白我说的，参考上面推荐的文章。

接下来，我们创建了一个mCheckMsgHandler，是这么创建的：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">mCheckMsgHandler = <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">new</span> Handler(mCheckMsgThread.getLooper())</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li></ul>

mCheckMsgThread.getLooper()返回的就是我们在run方法中创建的mLooper。

那么Handler的构造呢，其实就是在Handler中持有一个指向该Looper.mQueue对象，当handler调用sendMessage方法时，其实就是往该mQueue中去插入一个message，然后Looper.loop()就会取出执行。

好了，到这我们就分析完了，其实就几行代码；不过有一点我想提一下：

如果你够细心你会发现，run方法里面当mLooper创建完成后有个notifyAll()，getLooper()中有个wait()，这是为什么呢？因为的mLooper在一个线程中执行，而我们的handler是在UI线程初始化的，也就是说，我们必须等到mLooper创建完成，才能正确的返回getLooper();wait(),notify()就是为了解决这两个线程的同步问题。

不过对于这样的线程间的同步问题，我非常喜欢使用Semaphore。

还记得在Android Handler 异步消息处理机制的妙用 创建强大的图片加载类一文中有类似的说明：

如果你比较细心，可能会发现里面还有一些信号量的操作的代码，如果你不了解什么是信号量，可以参考：Java 并发专题
： Semaphore 实现 互斥 与 连接池 。 简单说一下mSemaphore（信号数为1）的作用，由于mPoolThreadHander实在子线程初始化的，所以我在初始化前调用了mSemaphore.acquire去请求一个信号量，然后在初始化完成后释放了此信号量，我为什么这么做呢？因为在主线程可能会立即使用到mPoolThreadHander，但是mPoolThreadHander是在子线程初始化的，虽然速度很快，但是我也不能百分百的保证，主线程使用时已经初始化结束。

哈，当时也有很多人问，为什么使用这个Semaphore，到这里我想大家应该清楚了。话说假设我当时真的HanderThread这个类，可能之前的代码能简化不少呢~

对了，你可能会问与Timer相比有什么优势呢？

直接参考这篇文章吧：Handler vs Timer
