提到消息机制，想必大家都不陌生吧，在日常开发中不可避免要涉及到这方面的内容。从开发的角度来说，Handler是Android的消息机制的上层接口，这使得在开发过程中只需要和Handler交互即可。Handler的使用过程很简单，通过它可以轻松地将一个任务切换到Handler所在的线程中去执行。由于Android的开发规范的限制，我们并不能在子线程中访问UI控件，否则就会触发程序异常，这个时候通过Handler就可以将更新的UI的操作切换到主线程中执行，因此从本质上来来说，Handler并不是专门用于更新UI的，它只是常被开发者用来更新UI。
Android中的消息机制主要指Handler的运行机制，Handler的运行需要底层的MessageQueue和Looper的支撑。MessageQueue翻译过来就是消息队列，它内部存储了一组消息，以队列的形式对外提供插入和删除的过程，虽然叫做消息队列，但是它内部存储结构并不是真正的队列，而是采用单链表的数据结构来存储消息列表，Looper翻译过来就是循环，这里可以理解为消息循环。由于MessageQueue只是一个消息的存储单元，它不能去处理消息，而Looper填补了这个功能，Looper会无限循环的形式去查找是否有新的消息，如果有的话就处理消息，否则就中一直等待。Looper中还有一个特殊的概念，那就是ThreadLocal，Threadlocal并不是线程，它的作用是可以在每个线程中存储数据。
我们知道，Handler创建的时候会采用当前线程的Looper来构造消息循环系统，那么Handler内部如何获取到当前线程的Looper呢，这就要使用ThreadLocal了，ThreadLocal可以在不同的线程中互不干扰地存储并提供数据，通过ThreadLocal可以轻松获取每个线程的Looper。需要注意的是，线程是默认没有Looper的，如果需要使用Handler就必须为线程创建Looper，我们经常提到的主线程，也叫UI线程，它就是ActivityThread，ActivityThread被创建时就会初始化Looper，这也是在主线程中默认可以使用Handler的原因。
Android的消息机制概述
我们知道Handler的主要作用是将一个任务切换到某个指定的线程中去执行，那么Android为什么要提供这个功能呢，这是因为Android规定访问UI只能在主线程中进行，如果子线程中访问UI，那么程序就会抛出异常。
void checkThread() {
if (mThread != Thread.currentThread()) {
throw new CalledFromWrongThreadException(
"Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.");
}
}这是ViewRootImpl的checkThread方法，从这段代码就可以看出，如果不在当前线程，就会抛出异常。同时呢，Android不建议在主线程中进行耗时操作， 否则会导致程序无法响应，即ANR。那么系统为什么允许在子线程中访问UI呢，这是因为Android中的UI控件并不是线程安全，它同时也延伸了Java系统中默认进程的话会产生默认的单线程习惯，当用户点击、滑动等事件操作时，UI线程是负责分发的，统一管理会更高效点，采取单线程来处理UI操作，对于开发者来说也不是很麻烦，只是需要通过Handler切换下UI访问的执行线程即可。
简单描述下Handler的工作原理，Handler创建完毕后，这个时候内部的Looper以及MessageQueue就可以和Handler一起协同工作，然后通过Handler的post方法将一个Runnable投递到Handler内部的Looper中去处理，也可以通过Handler的send方法发送一个消息，这个消息同样会在Looper中去处理。
Android消息机制分析
先看下整体的架构图：
- Looper有一个MessageQueue消息队列
- MessageQueue有一组待处理的Message
- Message中有一个用于处理消息的Handler
- Handler中有Looper和MessageQueue
Looper的工作原理
Looper在Android的消息机制扮演着消息循环的角色，具体来说就是它会不停地从MessageQueue中查看是否有新消息过来，如果有新的消息的就会立刻处理，否则就一直阻塞在那里。首先看下它的构造方法：
private Looper(boolean quitAllowed) {
mQueue = new MessageQueue(quitAllowed);
mThread = Thread.currentThread();
}在构造方法中，它会创建一个MessageQueue对象，然后将当前线程的对象给保存起来。我们知道，Handler的工作需要Looper，没有Looper线程就会报错，那么如何为一个线程创建Looper呢，有以下方法：
public static void prepare() {
prepare(true);
}
private static void prepare(boolean quitAllowed) {
if (sThreadLocal.get() != null) {
throw new RuntimeException("Only one Looper may be created per thread");
}
sThreadLocal.set(new Looper(quitAllowed));
}
public static void prepareMainLooper() {
prepare(false);
synchronized (Looper.class) {
if (sMainLooper != null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("The main Looper has already been prepared.");
}
sMainLooper = myLooper();
}
}从中我们可以看出，每个线程只有一个Looper，多创建一个会报错，然后prepareMainLooper这个方法主要给主线程也就是ActivityThread创建Looper使用，其本质也是通过prepare方法来实现的。
public void quit() {
mQueue.quit(false);
}
public void quitSafely() {
mQueue.quit(true);
}Looper提供了quit和quitSafely方法退出一个Looper，这两者最主要区别在于一个设定退出标记，一个是把消息队列中的已有消息处理完毕后才安全地退出。
当然还有Looper的loop方法是最核心的。
public static void loop() {
final Looper me = myLooper();
if (me == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("No Looper; Looper.prepare() wasn't called on this thread.");
}
final MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;
// Make sure the identity of this thread is that of the local process,
// and keep track of what that identity token actually is.
Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
final long ident = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
for (;;) {
Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
if (msg == null) {
// No message indicates that the message queue is quitting.
return;
}
// This must be in a local variable, in case a UI event sets the logger
final Printer logging = me.mLogging;
if (logging != null) {
logging.println(">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " +
msg.callback + ": " + msg.what);
}
final long traceTag = me.mTraceTag;
if (traceTag != 0 && Trace.isTagEnabled(traceTag)) {
Trace.traceBegin(traceTag, msg.target.getTraceName(msg));
}
try {
msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);
} finally {
if (traceTag != 0) {
Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
}
}
if (logging != null) {
logging.println("<<<<< Finished to " + msg.target + " " + msg.callback);
}
// Make sure that during the course of dispatching the
// identity of the thread wasn't corrupted.
final long newIdent = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
if (ident != newIdent) {
Log.wtf(TAG, "Thread identity changed from 0x"
+ Long.toHexString(ident) + " to 0x"
+ Long.toHexString(newIdent) + " while dispatching to "
+ msg.target.getClass().getName() + " "
+ msg.callback + " what=" + msg.what);
}
msg.recycleUnchecked();
}
}这个也比较好理解，loop方法是一个死循环，唯一跳出循环的方式就是MessageQueue的next方法返回了null。Looper就会调用MessageQueue的quit或者quitSafely方法来通知消息队列退出，当消息队列被标记为退出状态时，它的next方法就会返回null，也就是说looper必须退出，否则loop方法就会无限循序下去。
MessageQueue工作原理
在Android中MessageQueue主要包含两个操作：插入和读取。读取操作本身会伴随着删除操作，插入和读取对应的方法分别为enqueueMessage和next，其中enqueueMessage的作用是往消息队列中插入一条消息，而next的作用是从消息队列中取出一条消息并将其从消息队列中移除。在MessageQueue内部通过一个单链表的数据结构来维护消息列表，单链表在插入和删除上比较有优势。
看下enqueueMessage代码：
boolean enqueueMessage(Message msg, long when) {
if (msg.target == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Message must have a target.");
}
if (msg.isInUse()) {
throw new IllegalStateException(msg + " This message is already in use.");
}
synchronized (this) {
if (mQuitting) {
IllegalStateException e = new IllegalStateException(
msg.target + " sending message to a Handler on a dead thread");
Log.w(TAG, e.getMessage(), e);
msg.recycle();
return false;
}
msg.markInUse();
msg.when = when;
Message p = mMessages;
boolean needWake;
if (p == null || when == 0 || when < p.when) {
// New head, wake up the event queue if blocked.
msg.next = p;
mMessages = msg;
needWake = mBlocked;
} else {
// Inserted within the middle of the queue. Usually we don't have to wake
// up the event queue unless there is a barrier at the head of the queue
// and the message is the earliest asynchronous message in the queue.
needWake = mBlocked && p.target == null && msg.isAsynchronous();
Message prev;
for (;;) {
prev = p;
p = p.next;
if (p == null || when < p.when) {
break;
}
if (needWake && p.isAsynchronous()) {
needWake = false;
}
}
msg.next = p; // invariant: p == prev.next
prev.next = msg;
}
// We can assume mPtr != 0 because mQuitting is false.
if (needWake) {
nativeWake(mPtr);
}
}
return true;
}主要操作其实就是单链表的插入操作。
看下next代码：
Message next() {
// Return here if the message loop has already quit and been disposed.
// This can happen if the application tries to restart a looper after quit
// which is not supported.
final long ptr = mPtr;
if (ptr == 0) {
return null;
}
int pendingIdleHandlerCount = -1; // -1 only during first iteration
int nextPollTimeoutMillis = 0;
for (;;) {
if (nextPollTimeoutMillis != 0) {
Binder.flushPendingCommands();
}
nativePollOnce(ptr, nextPollTimeoutMillis);
synchronized (this) {
// Try to retrieve the next message. Return if found.
final long now = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
Message prevMsg = null;
Message msg = mMessages;
if (msg != null && msg.target == null) {
// Stalled by a barrier. Find the next asynchronous message in the queue.
do {
prevMsg = msg;
msg = msg.next;
} while (msg != null && !msg.isAsynchronous());
}
if (msg != null) {
if (now < msg.when) {
// Next message is not ready. Set a timeout to wake up when it is ready.
nextPollTimeoutMillis = (int) Math.min(msg.when - now, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
} else {
// Got a message.
mBlocked = false;
if (prevMsg != null) {
prevMsg.next = msg.next;
} else {
mMessages = msg.next;
}
msg.next = null;
if (DEBUG) Log.v(TAG, "Returning message: " + msg);
msg.markInUse();
return msg;
}
} else {
// No more messages.
nextPollTimeoutMillis = -1;
}
// Process the quit message now that all pending messages have been handled.
if (mQuitting) {
dispose();
return null;
}
// If first time idle, then get the number of idlers to run.
// Idle handles only run if the queue is empty or if the first message
// in the queue (possibly a barrier) is due to be handled in the future.
if (pendingIdleHandlerCount < 0
&& (mMessages == null || now < mMessages.when)) {
pendingIdleHandlerCount = mIdleHandlers.size();
}
if (pendingIdleHandlerCount <= 0) {
// No idle handlers to run. Loop and wait some more.
mBlocked = true;
continue;
}
if (mPendingIdleHandlers == null) {
mPendingIdleHandlers = new IdleHandler[Math.max(pendingIdleHandlerCount, 4)];
}
mPendingIdleHandlers = mIdleHandlers.toArray(mPendingIdleHandlers);
}
// Run the idle handlers.
// We only ever reach this code block during the first iteration.
for (int i = 0; i < pendingIdleHandlerCount; i++) {
final IdleHandler idler = mPendingIdleHandlers[i];
mPendingIdleHandlers[i] = null; // release the reference to the handler
boolean keep = false;
try {
keep = idler.queueIdle();
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.wtf(TAG, "IdleHandler threw exception", t);
}
if (!keep) {
synchronized (this) {
mIdleHandlers.remove(idler);
}
}
}
// Reset the idle handler count to 0 so we do not run them again.
pendingIdleHandlerCount = 0;
// While calling an idle handler, a new message could have been delivered
// so go back and look again for a pending message without waiting.
nextPollTimeoutMillis = 0;
}
}可以发现next方法就是一个无限循环的方法，如果消息队列中没有消息，那么next方法就会一直阻塞在这里，当有新消息到来时，next方法会返回这条消息并将其从单链表中移除。
Message
每个消息用Message表示，Message主要包含以下内容：
| 数据类型 | 成员变量 | 解释 |
|---|---|---|
| int | what | 消息类别 |
| long | when | 消息触发时间 |
| int | arg1 | 参数1 |
| int | arg2 | 参数2 |
| Object | obj | 消息内容 |
| Handler | target | 消息响应方 |
| Runnable | callback | 回调方法 |
创建消息的过程，就是填充消息的上述内容的一项或多项。
消息池
在代码中，可能经常看到recycle()方法，咋一看，可能是在做虚拟机的gc()相关的工作，其实不然，这是用于把消息加入到消息池的作用。这样的好处是，当消息池不为空时，可以直接从消息池中获取Message对象，而不是直接创建，提高效率。
静态变量sPool的数据类型为Message，通过next成员变量，维护一个消息池；静态变量MAX_POOL_SIZE代表消息池的可用大小；消息池的默认大小为50。
消息池常用的操作方法是obtain()和recycle()。
public static Message obtain() {
synchronized (sPoolSync) {
if (sPool != null) {
Message m = sPool;
sPool = m.next;
m.next = null; //从sPool中取出一个Message对象，并消息链表断开
m.flags = 0; // 清除in-use flag
sPoolSize--; //消息池的可用大小进行减1操作
return m;
}
}
return new Message(); // 当消息池为空时，直接创建Message对象
}obtain()，从消息池取Message，都是把消息池表头的Message取走，再把表头指向next。
public void recycle() {
if (isInUse()) { //判断消息是否正在使用
if (gCheckRecycle) { //Android 5.0以后的版本默认为true,之前的版本默认为false.
throw new IllegalStateException("This message cannot be recycled because it is still in use.");
}
return;
}
recycleUnchecked();
}
//对于不再使用的消息，加入到消息池
void recycleUnchecked() {
//将消息标示位置为IN_USE，并清空消息所有的参数。
flags = FLAG_IN_USE;
what = 0;
arg1 = 0;
arg2 = 0;
obj = null;
replyTo = null;
sendingUid = -1;
when = 0;
target = null;
callback = null;
data = null;
synchronized (sPoolSync) {
if (sPoolSize < MAX_POOL_SIZE) { //当消息池没有满时，将Message对象加入消息池
next = sPool;
sPool = this;
sPoolSize++; //消息池的可用大小进行加1操作
}
}
}recycle()，将Message加入到消息池的过程，都是把Message加到链表的表头。
Handler工作原理
Handler的工作主要包含消息的发送和接收过程。消息发送可以通过post的一系列的方法以及send的一系列方法来实现，post其实也是通过send的方法来实现的。
看下Handler的构造方法。
public Handler(Callback callback, boolean async) {
if (FIND_POTENTIAL_LEAKS) {
final Class<? extends Handler> klass = getClass();
if ((klass.isAnonymousClass() || klass.isMemberClass() || klass.isLocalClass()) &&
(klass.getModifiers() & Modifier.STATIC) == 0) {
Log.w(TAG, "The following Handler class should be static or leaks might occur: " +
klass.getCanonicalName());
}
}
mLooper = Looper.myLooper();
if (mLooper == null) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()");
}
mQueue = mLooper.mQueue;
mCallback = callback;
mAsynchronous = async;
}从中可以看到关联MessageQueue、Looper，所以在Handler之前Looper要prepare先，如果没有Looper的话，就会抛出“Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()”这句话。
public final boolean sendMessage(Message msg)
{
return sendMessageDelayed(msg, 0);
}
public final boolean sendEmptyMessage(int what)
{
return sendEmptyMessageDelayed(what, 0);
}
public final boolean sendEmptyMessageDelayed(int what, long delayMillis) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
return sendMessageDelayed(msg, delayMillis);
}
public final boolean sendEmptyMessageAtTime(int what, long uptimeMillis) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
return sendMessageAtTime(msg, uptimeMillis);
}
public final boolean sendMessageDelayed(Message msg, long delayMillis)
{
if (delayMillis < 0) {
delayMillis = 0;
}
return sendMessageAtTime(msg, SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + delayMillis);
}
public boolean sendMessageAtTime(Message msg, long uptimeMillis) {
MessageQueue queue = mQueue;
if (queue == null) {
RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException(
this + " sendMessageAtTime() called with no mQueue");
Log.w("Looper", e.getMessage(), e);
return false;
}
return enqueueMessage(queue, msg, uptimeMillis);
}
public final boolean sendMessageAtFrontOfQueue(Message msg) {
MessageQueue queue = mQueue;
if (queue == null) {
RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException(
this + " sendMessageAtTime() called with no mQueue");
Log.w("Looper", e.getMessage(), e);
return false;
}
return enqueueMessage(queue, msg, 0);
}从中可以看出，最终都是调用sendMessageAtTime/sendMessageAtFrontOfQueue方法，进而执行enqueueMessage方法，最终把消息发送到MessageQueue队列中。
那么消息又是如何在Handler处理的呢？
public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
if (msg.callback != null) {
handleCallback(msg);
} else {
if (mCallback != null) {
if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
return;
}
}
handleMessage(msg);
}
}通过dispatchMessage来处理消息的。
ThreadLocal工作原理
ThreadLocal是一个 线程内部的数据存储类，通过它可以在指定的线程中存储数据，数据存储以后，只有在指定线程中可以获取到存储的数据，对于其他线程来说是无法获取到数据。在日常开发中用到ThreadLocal的场景很少，但是在某些特殊的场景下，通过ThreadLocal可以轻松地实现一些看起来很复杂的功能，这一点在Android源码中也有所体现，比如Looper、ActivityThread以及AMS中都用到ThreadLocal。
ThreadLocal.set(T value)：将value存储到当前线程的TLS区域。
public void set(T value) {
Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread(); //获取当前线程
Values values = values(currentThread); //查找当前线程的本地储存区
if (values == null) {
//当线程本地存储区，尚未存储该线程相关信息时，则创建Values对象
values = initializeValues(currentThread);
}
//保存数据value到当前线程this
values.put(this, value);
}在set方法中，首先会通过values方法来获取当前线程的ThreadLocal数据，通过put方式去获取。
ThreadLocal.get()：获取当前线程TLS区域的数据。
public T get() {
Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread(); //获取当前线程
Values values = values(currentThread); //查找当前线程的本地储存区
if (values != null) {
Object[] table = values.table;
int index = hash & values.mask;
if (this.reference == table[index]) {
return (T) table[index + 1]; //返回当前线程储存区中的数据
}
} else {
//创建Values对象
values = initializeValues(currentThread);
}
return (T) values.getAfterMiss(this); //从目标线程存储区没有查询是则返回null
}get方法同样是取出当前线程的localValues对象，如果这个对象为null，那么就返回初始值。
在Looper源码中，有这么一句：
// sThreadLocal.get() will return null unless you've called prepare().
static final ThreadLocal<Looper> sThreadLocal = new ThreadLocal<Looper>();从ThreadLocal的set和get方法可以看出，它们所操作的对象都是当前线程的localValues对象的table数组，因此在不同线程中访问同一个ThreadLocal的set和get方法，它们对ThreadLocal所做的读/写操作仅限于各自线程的内部，这也就是为什么ThreadLocal可以在多个线程中互不干扰地存储和修改数据。
所以，整体来说，Handler、Looper、MessageQueue、Message这三者之间的关系如下：
主线程的消息循环
Android的主线程就是ActivityThread，主线程的入口方法在main，在main方法中系统会通过Looper.prepareMainLooper方法来创建主线程的Looper以及MessageQueue，并通过Looper.loop方法来开启主线程的消息循环。
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
// CloseGuard defaults to true and can be quite spammy. We
// disable it here, but selectively enable it later (via
// StrictMode) on debug builds, but using DropBox, not logs.
CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);
Environment.initForCurrentUser();
// Set the reporter for event logging in libcore
EventLogger.setReporter(new EventLoggingReporter());
// Make sure TrustedCertificateStore looks in the right place for CA certificates
final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);
Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false);
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
// End of event ActivityThreadMain.
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}主线程的消息循环开始以后，ActivityThread还需要一个Handler来和消息队列进行交互，这个Handler就是ActivityThread.H，它内部定义了一组消息类型，主要包括了四大组件的启动和停止等过程。

}ActivityThread通过ApplicationThread和AMS进行进程间通信，AMS以进程间通信的方式完成ActivityThread的请求回调ApplicationThread中Binder方法然后ApplicationThread向H发送消息，H收到消息后会将ApplicationThread的逻辑切换到ActivityThread中去执行，即切换到主线程中去执行，整个过程就是主线程的消息循环模型。
HandlerThread
HandlerThread类的源码：
public class HandlerThread extends Thread {
int mPriority;
int mTid = -1;
Looper mLooper;
public HandlerThread(String name) {
super(name);
mPriority = Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_DEFAULT;
}
public HandlerThread(String name, int priority) {
super(name);
mPriority = priority;
}
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 = -1;
}
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;
}
public boolean quit() {
Looper looper = getLooper();
if (looper != null) {
looper.quit();
return true;
}
return false;
}
public boolean quitSafely() {
Looper looper = getLooper();
if (looper != null) {
looper.quitSafely();
return true;
}
return false;
}
/**
* Returns the identifier of this thread. See Process.myTid().
*/
public int getThreadId() {
return mTid;
}
}可以看到HandlerThread继承于Thread类，在获取Looper对象时候，当线程已经启动，则等待直到looper创建完成才能获取，从本质上看HandlerThread是对Thread的封装，主要用途在于多个线程的通信，会有同步的问题，那么Android对此直接提供了HandlerThread类。
HandlerThread实战
在HandlerThread线程中运行Loop()方法，在其他线程中通过Handler发送消息到HandlerThread线程。通过wait/notifyAll的方式，有效地解决了多线程的同步问题。从源码中我们也可以看到当looper没获取成功就会阻塞，然后有运行完就会去唤醒所有阻塞的线程。
// Step 1: 创建并启动HandlerThread线程，内部包含Looper
HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("test");
handlerThread.start();
// Step 2: 创建Handler
Handler handler = new Handler(handlerThread.getLooper());
// Step 3: 发送消息
handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("thread id="+Thread.currentThread().getId());
}
