HandlerThread 产生背景
1、开启Thread子线程进行耗时操作
2、多次创建和销毁线程是很耗资源的
HandlerThread是什么
是handler+thread+looper结合，是一个thread内部有looper
特点：
- 本质上是一个线程类，继承了thread,
- 其内部有自己的Looper对象，可以进行looper循环，
- 通过获取handlerthread的looper对象传递给handler对象，可以在handlermessage方法中执行异步任务
- 优点是不会堵塞，减少对性能的消耗。缺点是不能同时进行多任务的处理，需要等待进行处理。处理效率比较低。
- 与线程池注重并发不同的是，handlerthread是一个串行队列，handlerthread背后只有一个队列。
Handler使用场景
handlerthread源码：
/**
* Handy class for starting a new thread that has a looper. The looper can then be
* used to create handler classes. Note that start() must still be called.
*/
public class HandlerThread extends Thread {
int mPriority;
int mTid = -;
Looper mLooper;
public HandlerThread(String name) {
super(name);
mPriority = Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_DEFAULT;
}
/**
* Constructs a HandlerThread.
* @param name
* @param priority The priority to run the thread at. The value supplied must be from
* {@link android.os.Process} and not from java.lang.Thread.
*/
public HandlerThread(String name, int priority) {
super(name);
mPriority = priority;
}
/**
* Call back method that can be explicitly overridden if needed to execute some
* setup before Looper loops.
*/
protected void onLooperPrepared() {
}
@Override
public void run() {
mTid = Process.myTid();
Looper.prepare();
synchronized (this) {
mLooper = Looper.myLooper();
notifyAll();
}
Process.setThreadPriority(mPriority);
onLooperPrepared();
Looper.loop();
mTid = -;
}
/**
* This method returns the Looper associated with this thread. If this thread not been started
* or for any reason is isAlive() returns false, this method will return null. If this thread
* has been started, this method will block until the looper has been initialized.
* @return The looper.
*/
public Looper getLooper() {
if (!isAlive()) {
return null;
}
// If the thread has been started, wait until the looper has been created.
synchronized (this) {
while (isAlive() && mLooper == null) {
try {
wait();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
}
return mLooper;
}
/**

* <p>
* Causes the handler thread's looper to terminate without processing any
* more messages in the message queue.
* </p><p>
* Any attempt to post messages to the queue after the looper is asked to quit will fail.

* </p><p class="note">

* </p>
*

public boolean quit() {
Looper looper = getLooper();
if (looper != null) {
looper.quit();
return true;
}
return false;
}
/**
* Quits the handler thread's looper safely.

*/
public boolean quitSafely() {
Looper looper = getLooper();
if (looper != null) {
looper.quitSafely();
return true;
}
return false;

/**

*/

首先我们可以看到HandlerThread继承自Thread，因此在run（）中的逻辑都是在子线程中运行的。
接下来就是两个关键的方法，run（）和getLooper（）：
run（）中可以看到是很简单的创建Looper以及让Looper工作的逻辑。
run()里面当mLooper创建完成后有个notifyAll()，getLooper()中有个wait()，这有什么用呢？因为的mLooper在一个线程中执行创建，而我们的handler是在UI线程中调用getLooper（）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。
使用案例：
public class DownloadThread extends HandlerThread implements Handler.Callback{
private final String TAG = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
private final String KEY_URL = "url";
public static final int TYPE_START = ;
public static final int TYPE_FINISHED = ;
private Handler mWorkerHandler;
private Handler mUIHandler;
private List<String> mDownloadUrlList;
public DownloadThread(final String name) {
super(name);
}
@Override
protected void onLooperPrepared() { //执行初始化任务
super.onLooperPrepared();
mWorkerHandler = new Handler(getLooper(), this); //使用子线程中的 Looper
if (mUIHandler == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not set UIHandler!");
}
//将接收到的任务消息挨个添加到消息队列中
for (String url : mDownloadUrlList) {
Message message = mWorkerHandler.obtainMessage();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(KEY_URL, url);
message.setData(bundle);
mWorkerHandler.sendMessage(message);
}
}
public void setDownloadUrls(String... urls) {
mDownloadUrlList = Arrays.asList(urls);
}
public Handler getUIHandler() {
return mUIHandler;
}
//注入主线程 Handler
public DownloadThread setUIHandler(final Handler UIHandler) {
mUIHandler = UIHandler;
return this;
}
/**
* 子线程中执行任务，完成后发送消息到主线程
*
* @param msg
* @return
*/
@Override
public boolean handleMessage(final Message msg) {
if (msg == null || msg.getData() == null) {
return false;
}
String url = (String) msg.getData().get(KEY_URL);
//下载开始，通知主线程
Message startMsg = mUIHandler.obtainMessage(TYPE_START, "\n 开始下载 @" + DateUtils.getCurrentTime() + "\n" + url);
mUIHandler.sendMessage(startMsg);
SystemClock.sleep(); //模拟下载
//下载完成，通知主线程
Message finishMsg = mUIHandler.obtainMessage(TYPE_FINISHED, "\n 下载完成 @" + DateUtils.getCurrentTime() + "\n" + url);
mUIHandler.sendMessage(finishMsg);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean quitSafely() {
mUIHandler = null;
return super.quitSafely();
}
}
MainActivity代码：
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Handler.Callback{
@BindView(R.id.tv_start_msg)
TextView mTvStartMsg;
@BindView(R.id.tv_finish_msg)
TextView mTvFinishMsg;
@BindView(R.id.btn_start_download)
Button mBtnStartDownload;
private Handler mUIHandler;
private DownloadThread mDownloadThread;
@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ButterKnife.bind(this);
init();
}
private void init() {
mUIHandler = new Handler(this);
mDownloadThread = new DownloadThread("下载线程");
mDownloadThread.setUIHandler(mUIHandler);
mDownloadThread.setDownloadUrls("下载资源一",
"下载资源二", "下载资源三");
}
@OnClick(R.id.btn_start_download)
public void startDownload() {
mDownloadThread.start();
mBtnStartDownload.setText("正在下载");
mBtnStartDownload.setEnabled(false);
}
//主线程中的 Handler 处理消息的方法
@Override
public boolean handleMessage(final Message msg) {
switch (msg.what) {
case DownloadThread.TYPE_FINISHED:
mTvFinishMsg.setText(mTvFinishMsg.getText().toString() + "\n " + msg.obj);
break;
case DownloadThread.TYPE_START:
mTvStartMsg.setText(mTvStartMsg.getText().toString() + "\n " + msg.obj);
break;
}
return true;
}
}
