Each Handler * instance is associated with a single thread and that thread's message * queue. When you create a new Handler, it is bound to the thread / * message queue of the thread that is creating it -- from that point on, * it will deliver messages and runnables to that message queue and execute * them as they come out of the message queue. * *
There are two main uses for a Handler: (1) to schedule messages and * runnables to be executed as some point in the future; and (2) to enqueue * an action to be performed on a different thread than your own. * *
Scheduling messages is accomplished with the * {@link #post}, {@link #postAtTime(Runnable, long)}, * {@link #postDelayed}, {@link #sendEmptyMessage}, * {@link #sendMessage}, {@link #sendMessageAtTime}, and * {@link #sendMessageDelayed} methods. The post versions allow * you to enqueue Runnable objects to be called by the message queue when * they are received; the sendMessage versions allow you to enqueue * a {@link Message} object containing a bundle of data that will be * processed by the Handler's {@link #handleMessage} method (requiring that * you implement a subclass of Handler). * *
When posting or sending to a Handler, you can either * allow the item to be processed as soon as the message queue is ready * to do so, or specify a delay before it gets processed or absolute time for * it to be processed. The latter two allow you to implement timeouts, * ticks, and other timing-based behavior. * *
When a * process is created for your application, its main thread is dedicated to * running a message queue that takes care of managing the top-level * application objects (activities, broadcast receivers, etc) and any windows * they create. You can create your own threads, and communicate back with * the main application thread through a Handler. This is done by calling * the same post or sendMessage methods as before, but from * your new thread. The given Runnable or Message will then be scheduled * in the Handler's message queue and processed when appropriate. */ public class Handler { /* * Set this flag to true to detect anonymous, local or member classes * that extend this Handler class and that are not static.
