Android HandlerThread 源码分析

HandlerThread 简介：

我们知道Thread线程是一次性消费品，当Thread线程执行完一个耗时的任务之后，线程就会被自动销毁了。如果此时我又有一

个耗时任务需要执行，我们不得不重新创建线程去执行该耗时任务。然而，这样就存在一个性能问题：多次创建和销毁线程是很耗

系统资源的。为了解这种问题，我们可以自己构建一个循环线程Looper Thread，当有耗时任务投放到该循环线程中时，线程执行耗

时任务，执行完之后循环线程处于等待状态，直到下一个新的耗时任务被投放进来。这样一来就避免了多次创建Thread线程导致的

性能问题了。也许你可以自己去构建一个循环线程，但我可以告诉你一个好消息，Aandroid SDK中其实已经有一个循环线程的框架

了。此时你只需要掌握其怎么使用的就ok啦！当然就是我们今天的主角HandlerThread啦！接下来请HandlerThread上场，鼓掌～～

HandlerThread的父类是Thread，因此HandlerThread其实是一个线程，只不过其内部帮你实现了一个Looper的循环而已。那么我们

先来了解一下Handler是怎么使用的吧！

HandlerThread使用步骤：

1.创建实例对象

<code class="hljs cs 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;">HandlerThread handlerThread = <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;">"handlerThread"</span>);</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>

以上参数可以任意字符串，参数的作用主要是标记当前线程的名字。

2.启动HandlerThread线程

<code class="hljs sql 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;">handlerThread.<span class="hljs-operator" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">start</span>();</span></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>

到此，我们就构建完一个循环线程了。那么你可能会怀疑，那我怎么将一个耗时的异步任务投放到HandlerThread线程中去执行呢？当然是有办法的，接下来看第三部。

3.构建循环消息处理机制

<code class="hljs java 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;">Handler subHandler = <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">new</span> Handler(handlerThread.getLooper(), <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">new</span> Handler.Callback() {
<span class="hljs-annotation" style="color: rgb(155, 133, 157); box-sizing: border-box;">@Override</span>
<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">public</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">boolean</span> <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">handleMessage</span>(Message msg) {
<span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//实现自己的消息处理</span>
<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">true</span>;
}
});</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><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li></ul>

第三步创建一个Handler对象，将上面HandlerThread中的looper对象最为Handler的参数，然后重写Handler的Callback接口类中的

handlerMessage方法来处理耗时任务。

总结：以上三步顺序不能乱，必须严格按照步骤来。到此，我们就可以调用subHandler以发送消息的形式发送耗时任务到线程

HandlerThread中去执行。言外之意就是subHandler中Callback接口类中的handlerMessage方法其实是在工作线程中执行的。

分析：该类开头就给出了一个描述：该类用于创建一个带Looper循环的线程，Looper对象用于创建Handler对象，值得注意的是在创建Handler

对象之前需要调用start()方法启动线程。这里可能有些人会有疑问？为啥需要先调用start（）方法之后才能创建Handler呢？后面我们会解答。

上面的代码注释已经很清楚了，HandlerThread类有两个构造方法，不同之处就是设置当前线程的优先级参数。你可以根据自己的情况来设置优先

级，也可以使用默认优先级。

分析：以上代码中的注释已经写得很清楚了，以上run方法主要作用就是调用了Looper.prepare和Looper.loop构建了一个循环线程。值得一提的

是，run方法中在启动loop循环之前调用了onLooperPrepared方法，该方法的实现是一个空的，用户可以在子类中实现该方法。该方法的作用是

在线程loop之前做一些初始化工作，当然你也可以不实现该方法，具体看需求。由此也可以看出，Google工程师在编写代码时也考虑到代码的可扩展性。牛B!

分析：其实方法开头的英文注释已经解释的很清楚了：该方法主要作用是获得当前HandlerThread线程中的mLooper对象。

首先判断当前线程是否存活，如果不是存活的，这直接返回null。其次如果当前线程存活的，在判断线程的成员变量mLooper是否为null，如果为

null，说明当前线程已经创建成功，但是还没来得及创建Looper对象，因此，这里会调用wait方法去等待，当run方法中的notifyAll方法调用之后

通知当前线程的wait方法等待结束，跳出循环，获得mLooper对象的值。

总结：在获得mLooper对象的时候存在一个同步的问题，只有当线程创建成功并且Looper对象也创建成功之后才能获得mLooper的值。这里等待方法wait和run方法中的notifyAll方法共同完成同步问题。

quit结束当前线程的循环

分析：以上有两种让当前线程退出循环的方法，一种是安全的，一中是不安全的。至于两者有什么区别? quitSafely方法效率比quit方法标率低一点，但是安全。具体选择哪种就要看具体项目了。

总结：

1.HandlerThread适用于构建循环线程。

2.在创建Handler作为HandlerThread线程消息执行者的时候必须调用start方法之后，因为创建Handler需要的Looper参数是从HandlerThread类中获得，而Looper对象的赋值又是在HandlerThread的run方法中创建。

3.关于HandlerThread和Service的结合使用请参考另一篇博客：Android IntentService 源码分析
