上面的文章我们演示了如何把一个Message由子线程发送给主线程,但是如何将一个Message从主线程发送给子线程呢?子线程在默认的情况下是没有Looper的,也就没有可能操作子线程的消息队列。我们通过查API文档可以看到:
Class used to run a message loop for a thread. Threads by default do not have a message loop associated with them; to create one, call prepare() in the thread that is to run the loop, and then loop() to have it process messages until the loop is stopped.
Most interaction with a message loop is through the Handler class.
大概意思是,线程在默认情况下是没有Looper的,但是可以通过调用Prepare()方法来运行一个loop,然后使用loop()方法来处理消息直到loop结束。通常的使用方式是:
- class LooperThread extends Thread {
- public Handler mHandler;
- public void run() {
- Looper.prepare();
- mHandler = new Handler() {
- public void handleMessage(Message msg) { // process incoming
- // messages here
- }
- };
- Looper.loop();
- }
- }
例程如下,基本过程是这样的,启动主线程,然后启动子线程,子线程注册Looper,主线程发送一个Message给子线程,然后子线程的handler处理此消息,再把此消息发送给主线程的消息队列,主线程空间显示此消息~
