# Framework源码分析 Looper Handler

## 综述

Looper Handler本质上是同一个进程中不同线程间通信的机制，同样也是一个线程间的任务分发机制

![Looper Handler](https://1819138102-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MM7mD6Z7_ShtqqizKx0%2Fsync%2F8456c35af66b5657953caa1c2bfba203c5b47a0f.png?generation=1607139768086844\&alt=media)

看上面这张图，LooperHandler相关的几个类是Looper，Handler，MessageQueue和Message下面分别简单说明一下这几个类

* Looper：顾名思义，这个类主要负责循环，一般Looper的处理放在一个线程中，这个线程不断轮询MessageQueue，获取其中的任务进行处理
* MessageQueue：同样从名字上就可以了解这个类主要是一个Message的队列，负责将Message组织起来，等待Looper的处理
* Message：Message是一个个任务的实体，里面记录了需要做什么事情，什么时候做等等
* Handler：Handler的设计十分巧妙，隐藏了背后的Looper，Message和MessageQueue，Handler是唯用户需要打交道的类，统一了发送消息和处理消息的接口。

## Looper的初始化

Looper的初始化实在ActivityThread的main函数中，我们分析Activity启动流程中看到过，每一个新应用进程被创建出来后就是从ActivityThread的main函数开始执行的。我们把main函数的代码回顾一下

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java]
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");

        // Install selective syscall interception
        AndroidOs.install();

        // 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();

        // 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();

        // Find the value for {@link #PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT} if provided on the command line.
        // It will be in the format "seq=114"
        long startSeq = 0;
        if (args != null) {
            for (int i = args.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
                if (args[i] != null && args[i].startsWith(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT)) {
                    startSeq = Long.parseLong(
                            args[i].substring(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT.length()));
                }
            }
        }
        ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
        thread.attach(false, startSeq);

        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");
    }
```

从上面代码可以看到和Looper相关的代码有两个地方：

1. Looper.prepareMainLooper()
2. Looper.loop()

因为Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread")); 这句代码的判断条件永远是false，所以永远不会执行，这里就先不看了。我们先看Looper.prepareMainLooper()

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Looper.java]

    /**
     * Initialize the current thread as a looper, marking it as an
     * application's main looper. The main looper for your application
     * is created by the Android environment, so you should never need
     * to call this function yourself.  See also: {@link #prepare()}
     */
    public static void prepareMainLooper() {
        prepare(false);
        synchronized (Looper.class) {
            if (sMainLooper != null) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("The main Looper has already been prepared.");
            }
            sMainLooper = myLooper();
        }
    }
```

首先看注释，注释说得很明白，这个prepareMainLooper的作用就是将当前的线程作为主Looper，并且Android framework自己在启动应用时就自己做了，不需要用户自己去调用。在这个方法中，首先调用了prepare方法，然后将myLooper()的返回值保存到sMainLooper中。我们先看下prepare。

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Looper.java]

    // sThreadLocal.get() will return null unless you've called prepare().
    @UnsupportedAppUsage
    static final ThreadLocal<Looper> sThreadLocal = new ThreadLocal<Looper>();

    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));
    }
```

prepare首先调用sThreadLocal的get方法，sThreadLocal是一个ThreadLocal变量，ThreadLocal是jvm支持的一种保存各个线程独立数据的机制。在这里sThreadLocal保存的其实就是Looper的实例。get方法在未初始化过之前应该返回null。 之后prepare又调用了sThreadLocal的set方法，新生成一个Looper实例，并保存到sThreadLocal中。我们看下Looper的构造函数

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Looper.java]

    @UnsupportedAppUsage
    final MessageQueue mQueue;
    final Thread mThread;

    private Looper(boolean quitAllowed) {
        mQueue = new MessageQueue(quitAllowed);
        mThread = Thread.currentThread();
    }
```

在Looper的构造函数当中，创建了MessageQueue的实例，并将当前现场保存到mThread变量中。那我们接着去看下MessageQueue的构造函数

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/MessageQueue.java]

    MessageQueue(boolean quitAllowed) {
        mQuitAllowed = quitAllowed;
        mPtr = nativeInit();
    }
```

保存quitAllowed标志，这个标志表明MessageQueue是否允许退出，我们可以看到这个标志是在上面的prepare方法中传下来的，由于ActivityThread是应用的主线程，是不允许退出的，所以这个标志位为false。 然后调用了nativeInit方法，这个方法是一个native方法。

```cpp
[frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_MessageQueue.cpp]

static const JNINativeMethod gMessageQueueMethods[] = {
    /* name, signature, funcPtr */
    { "nativeInit", "()J", (void*)android_os_MessageQueue_nativeInit },
    { "nativeDestroy", "(J)V", (void*)android_os_MessageQueue_nativeDestroy },
    { "nativePollOnce", "(JI)V", (void*)android_os_MessageQueue_nativePollOnce },
    { "nativeWake", "(J)V", (void*)android_os_MessageQueue_nativeWake },
    { "nativeIsPolling", "(J)Z", (void*)android_os_MessageQueue_nativeIsPolling },
    { "nativeSetFileDescriptorEvents", "(JII)V",
            (void*)android_os_MessageQueue_nativeSetFileDescriptorEvents },
};

int register_android_os_MessageQueue(JNIEnv* env) {
    int res = RegisterMethodsOrDie(env, "android/os/MessageQueue", gMessageQueueMethods,
                                   NELEM(gMessageQueueMethods));

    jclass clazz = FindClassOrDie(env, "android/os/MessageQueue");
    gMessageQueueClassInfo.mPtr = GetFieldIDOrDie(env, clazz, "mPtr", "J");
    gMessageQueueClassInfo.dispatchEvents = GetMethodIDOrDie(env, clazz,
            "dispatchEvents", "(II)I");

    return res;
}

static jlong android_os_MessageQueue_nativeInit(JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz) {
    NativeMessageQueue* nativeMessageQueue = new NativeMessageQueue();
    if (!nativeMessageQueue) {
        jniThrowRuntimeException(env, "Unable to allocate native queue");
        return 0;
    }

    nativeMessageQueue->incStrong(env);
    return reinterpret_cast<jlong>(nativeMessageQueue);
}
```

register\_android\_os\_MessageQueue函数将gMessageQueueMethods注册到JVM中，nativeInit在gMessageQueueMethods中定义，对应于android\_os\_MessageQueue\_nativeInit函数

```java
[frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_MessageQueue.cpp]

static jlong android_os_MessageQueue_nativeInit(JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz) {
    NativeMessageQueue* nativeMessageQueue = new NativeMessageQueue();
    if (!nativeMessageQueue) {
        jniThrowRuntimeException(env, "Unable to allocate native queue");
        return 0;
    }

    nativeMessageQueue->incStrong(env);
    return reinterpret_cast<jlong>(nativeMessageQueue);
}
```

在android\_os\_MessageQueue\_nativeInit函数中创建了一个NativeMessageQueue的实例，并返回了这个实例的指针。我们接着看下NativeMessageQueue的构造函数。

```cpp
[frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_MessageQueue.cpp]

NativeMessageQueue::NativeMessageQueue() :
        mPollEnv(NULL), mPollObj(NULL), mExceptionObj(NULL) {
    mLooper = Looper::getForThread();
    if (mLooper == NULL) {
        mLooper = new Looper(false);
        Looper::setForThread(mLooper);
    }
}
```

在NativeMessageQueue的构造函数中我们看到这里又建了一个Looper，这里的Looper是一个Native Looper，实际MessageQueue中Message的投递和取出都是通过这个Native Looper来完成的。我们看下这个Native Looper的构造函数。

```cpp
[system/core/libutils/Looper.cpp]

Looper::Looper(bool allowNonCallbacks)
    : mAllowNonCallbacks(allowNonCallbacks),
      mSendingMessage(false),
      mPolling(false),
      mEpollRebuildRequired(false),
      mNextRequestSeq(0),
      mResponseIndex(0),
      mNextMessageUptime(LLONG_MAX) {
    mWakeEventFd.reset(eventfd(0, EFD_NONBLOCK | EFD_CLOEXEC));
    LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL_IF(mWakeEventFd.get() < 0, "Could not make wake event fd: %s", strerror(errno));

    AutoMutex _l(mLock);
    rebuildEpollLocked();
}
```

Native Looper的构造函数中主要是一些初始化工作。

```cpp
[system/core/libutils/Looper.cpp]

void Looper::rebuildEpollLocked() {
    // Close old epoll instance if we have one.
    if (mEpollFd >= 0) {
#if DEBUG_CALLBACKS
        ALOGD("%p ~ rebuildEpollLocked - rebuilding epoll set", this);
#endif
        mEpollFd.reset();
    }

    // Allocate the new epoll instance and register the wake pipe.
    mEpollFd.reset(epoll_create1(EPOLL_CLOEXEC));
    LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL_IF(mEpollFd < 0, "Could not create epoll instance: %s", strerror(errno));

    struct epoll_event eventItem;
    memset(& eventItem, 0, sizeof(epoll_event)); // zero out unused members of data field union
    eventItem.events = EPOLLIN;
    eventItem.data.fd = mWakeEventFd.get();
    int result = epoll_ctl(mEpollFd.get(), EPOLL_CTL_ADD, mWakeEventFd.get(), &eventItem);
    LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL_IF(result != 0, "Could not add wake event fd to epoll instance: %s",
                        strerror(errno));

    for (size_t i = 0; i < mRequests.size(); i++) {
        const Request& request = mRequests.valueAt(i);
        struct epoll_event eventItem;
        request.initEventItem(&eventItem);

        int epollResult = epoll_ctl(mEpollFd.get(), EPOLL_CTL_ADD, request.fd, &eventItem);
        if (epollResult < 0) {
            ALOGE("Error adding epoll events for fd %d while rebuilding epoll set: %s",
                  request.fd, strerror(errno));
        }
    }
}
```

在rebuildEpollLocked函数中，主要是创建一个新的epoll，并将所有需要监听的事件都加入到epoll当中。我们在ActivityThread的main函数中看到，初始化完成后主线程会调用Looper.loop()就进入循环了。那比如触屏之类的UI事件是如何处理的呢？其实就是在这个rebuildEpollLocked函数中都注册到了epoll的监听当中。所以Native Looper处理管理Message的分发外也管理整个应用的事件分发。 到这里Loop.prepareMainLoop()这个方法我们就分析完了。稍微总结下，Loop.prepareMainLoop主要做了几个事情：

1. Java层Looper的实例化，并放入ThreadLocal这个TLS变量中
2. MessageQueue的实例化
3. NativeMessageQueue的实例化
4. Native层Looper的实例化

下面我们分析下Loop.loop()

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Looper.java]

    /**
     * Run the message queue in this thread. Be sure to call
     * {@link #quit()} to end the loop.
     */
    public static void loop() {
        final Looper me = myLooper();   // 获取Looper实例
        if (me == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("No Looper; Looper.prepare() wasn't called on this thread.");
        }
        final MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;   // 获取MessageQueue实例

        // 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();    //c learCallingIdentity作用是清空远程调用端的uid和pid，用当前本地进程的uid和pid替代
        final long ident = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();

        // Allow overriding a threshold with a system prop. e.g.
        // adb shell 'setprop log.looper.1000.main.slow 1 && stop && start'
        final int thresholdOverride =
                SystemProperties.getInt("log.looper."
                        + Process.myUid() + "."
                        + Thread.currentThread().getName()
                        + ".slow", 0);

        boolean slowDeliveryDetected = false;

        for (;;) {  // Looper循环
            Message msg = queue.next(); // might block 取消息
            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);
            }
            // Make sure the observer won't change while processing a transaction.
            final Observer observer = sObserver;

            final long traceTag = me.mTraceTag;
            long slowDispatchThresholdMs = me.mSlowDispatchThresholdMs;
            long slowDeliveryThresholdMs = me.mSlowDeliveryThresholdMs;
            if (thresholdOverride > 0) {
                slowDispatchThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
                slowDeliveryThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
            }
            final boolean logSlowDelivery = (slowDeliveryThresholdMs > 0) && (msg.when > 0);
            final boolean logSlowDispatch = (slowDispatchThresholdMs > 0);

            final boolean needStartTime = logSlowDelivery || logSlowDispatch;
            final boolean needEndTime = logSlowDispatch;

            if (traceTag != 0 && Trace.isTagEnabled(traceTag)) {
                Trace.traceBegin(traceTag, msg.target.getTraceName(msg));
            }

            final long dispatchStart = needStartTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
            final long dispatchEnd;
            Object token = null;
            if (observer != null) {
                token = observer.messageDispatchStarting();
            }
            long origWorkSource = ThreadLocalWorkSource.setUid(msg.workSourceUid);
            try {
                msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg); // 调用分发
                if (observer != null) {
                    observer.messageDispatched(token, msg);
                }
                dispatchEnd = needEndTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
            } catch (Exception exception) {
                if (observer != null) {
                    observer.dispatchingThrewException(token, msg, exception);
                }
                throw exception;
            } finally {
                ThreadLocalWorkSource.restore(origWorkSource);
                if (traceTag != 0) {
                    Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
                }
            }
            if (logSlowDelivery) {
                if (slowDeliveryDetected) {
                    if ((dispatchStart - msg.when) <= 10) {
                        Slog.w(TAG, "Drained");
                        slowDeliveryDetected = false;
                    }
                } else {
                    if (showSlowLog(slowDeliveryThresholdMs, msg.when, dispatchStart, "delivery",
                            msg)) {
                        // Once we write a slow delivery log, suppress until the queue drains.
                        slowDeliveryDetected = true;
                    }
                }
            }
            if (logSlowDispatch) {
                showSlowLog(slowDispatchThresholdMs, dispatchStart, dispatchEnd, "dispatch", msg);

            }

            // identity of the thread wasn't corrupted.
            final long newIdent = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();

                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();
        }
    }
```

我们简单看下loop(), 主体是一个循环，具体的任务分发我们在分发场景再分析

## 创建和发送任务

要了解创建和发送任务，我们首先需要看下Handler，任务的发送和执行都是通过Handler完成的。我们看下Handler的构造函数

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]
    /**
     * Default constructor associates this handler with the {@link Looper} for the
     * current thread.
     *
     * If this thread does not have a looper, this handler won't be able to receive messages
     * so an exception is thrown.
     */
    public Handler() {
        this(null, false);
    }
```

默认构造函数调用Handler的另一个有参构造函数。

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]
    /**
     * Use the {@link Looper} for the current thread with the specified callback interface
     * and set whether the handler should be asynchronous.
     *
     * Handlers are synchronous by default unless this constructor is used to make
     * one that is strictly asynchronous.
     *
     * Asynchronous messages represent interrupts or events that do not require global ordering
     * with respect to synchronous messages.  Asynchronous messages are not subject to
     * the synchronization barriers introduced by {@link MessageQueue#enqueueSyncBarrier(long)}.
     *
     * @param callback The callback interface in which to handle messages, or null.
     * @param async If true, the handler calls {@link Message#setAsynchronous(boolean)} for
     * each {@link Message} that is sent to it or {@link Runnable} that is posted to it.
     *
     * @hide
     */
    public Handler(@Nullable 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 " + Thread.currentThread()
                        + " that has not called Looper.prepare()");
        }
        mQueue = mLooper.mQueue;
        mCallback = callback;
        mAsynchronous = async;
    }
```

调用参数callback为null，async为false。在这个构造函数中保存了Looper和MessageQueue的实例。 用Handler发送消息一般有两种发送，一种是sendMessage，这种发送方式参数是一个Message，并且可以指定延迟，放在队列头等要求；另一种是post一个Runnable。不过这两种方式最终的处理都是一样的。post方式最终Runnable也会被组织成一个Message发送，所以我们就分析第一种方式。我们从获取一个消息开始。

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]

    /**
     * Returns a new {@link android.os.Message Message} from the global message pool. More efficient than
     * creating and allocating new instances. The retrieved message has its handler set to this instance (Message.target == this).
     *  If you don't want that facility, just call Message.obtain() instead.
     */
    @NonNull
    public final Message obtainMessage()
    {
        return Message.obtain(this);
    }
```

Handler的obtainMessage会调用到Message的obtain方法，并把Handler自己作为参数传进去。我们去看下Message的obtain方法。

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Message.java]
    /**
     * Return a new Message instance from the global pool. Allows us to
     * avoid allocating new objects in many cases.

    public static Message obtain() {
        synchronized (sPoolSync) {
            if (sPool != null) {
                Message m = sPool;
                sPool = m.next;
                m.next = null;
                m.flags = 0; // clear in-use flag

                return m;
            }
        }
        return new Message();
    }
```

Message的obtain方法是一个静态方法，返回的是一个Message实例，如果sPool就是池子里有的话从池子里分配，如果没有则重新创建一个实例。Message的构造方法是一个空方法，所以就不贴代码了。用户获得到一个Message后处理完Message会调用Handler的sendMessage方法族去发送Message。我们随便挑一个方法看下

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]
    /**
     * Pushes a message onto the end of the message queue after all pending messages
     * before the current time. It will be received in {@link #handleMessage},
     * in the thread attached to this handler.
     *
     * @return Returns true if the message was successfully placed in to the
     *         message queue.  Returns false on failure, usually because the
     *         looper processing the message queue is exiting.
     */
    public final boolean sendMessage(@NonNull Message msg) {
        return sendMessageDelayed(msg, 0);
    }
```

sendMessage调用了sendMessageDelayed这个方法

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]
    /**
     * Enqueue a message into the message queue after all pending messages
     * before (current time + delayMillis). You will receive it in
     * {@link #handleMessage}, in the thread attached to this handler.
     *
     * @return Returns true if the message was successfully placed in to the
     *         message queue.  Returns false on failure, usually because the
     *         looper processing the message queue is exiting.  Note that a
     *         result of true does not mean the message will be processed -- if
     *         the looper is quit before the delivery time of the message
     *         occurs then the message will be dropped.
     */
    public final boolean sendMessageDelayed(@NonNull Message msg, long delayMillis) {
        if (delayMillis < 0) {
            delayMillis = 0;
        }
        return sendMessageAtTime(msg, SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + delayMillis);
    }
```

sendMessageDelayed调用sendMessageAtTime方法

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]
    /**
     * Enqueue a message into the message queue after all pending messages
     * before the absolute time (in milliseconds) <var>uptimeMillis</var>.
     * <b>The time-base is {@link android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis}.</b>
     * Time spent in deep sleep will add an additional delay to execution.
     * You will receive it in {@link #handleMessage}, in the thread attached
     * to this handler.
     *
     * @param uptimeMillis The absolute time at which the message should be
     *         delivered, using the
     *         {@link android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis} time-base.
     *
     * @return Returns true if the message was successfully placed in to the
     *         message queue.  Returns false on failure, usually because the
     *         looper processing the message queue is exiting.  Note that a

     *         the looper is quit before the delivery time of the message
     *         occurs then the message will be dropped.
     */
    public boolean sendMessageAtTime(@NonNull 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);
    }
```

sendMessageAtTime方法调用enqueueMessage将message加入到MessageQueue队列中

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]
    private boolean enqueueMessage(@NonNull MessageQueue queue, @NonNull Message msg,
            long uptimeMillis) {
        msg.target = this;
        msg.workSourceUid = ThreadLocalWorkSource.getUid();

        if (mAsynchronous) {
            msg.setAsynchronous(true);
        }
        return queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis);
    }
```

Handler的enqueueMessage调用了MessageQueue的enqueueMessage方法

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/MessageQueue.java]
    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) { // 如果插在头部，则需要唤醒MessageQueue
                // 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 (;;) {  // 遍历列表，找到合适的插入位置
                    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);  // 唤醒队列
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
```

MessageQueue的enqueueMessage方法主要把Message寻找一个合适的地方插入到消息队列里。如果消息放在了头部则需要唤醒事件队列进行事件的分发。参数mPtr是MessageQueue初始化时保存的NativeMessageQueue的指针。我们看下nativeWake方法，这也是一个native方法。上面我们把nativeWake关联的native函数贴出来了。

```cpp
[frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_MessageQueue.cpp]

static void android_os_MessageQueue_nativeWake(JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz, jlong ptr) {
    NativeMessageQueue* nativeMessageQueue = reinterpret_cast<NativeMessageQueue*>(ptr);
    nativeMessageQueue->wake();
}
```

android\_os\_MessageQueue\_nativeWake函数调用了NativeMessageQueue的wake方法

```cpp
[frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_MessageQueue.cpp]

void NativeMessageQueue::wake() {
    mLooper->wake();
}
```

NativeMessageQueue的wake方法调用了Native Looper的wake方法

```cpp
[system/core/libutils/Looper.cpp]

void Looper::wake() {
#if DEBUG_POLL_AND_WAKE
    ALOGD("%p ~ wake", this);
#endif

    uint64_t inc = 1;
    ssize_t nWrite = TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(write(mWakeEventFd.get(), &inc, sizeof(uint64_t)));
    if (nWrite != sizeof(uint64_t)) {
        if (errno != EAGAIN) {
            LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("Could not write wake signal to fd %d (returned %zd): %s",
                             mWakeEventFd.get(), nWrite, strerror(errno));
        }
    }
}
```

Looper的wake其实是向mWakeEventFd写入一个数字，让epoll进入事件处理。mWakeEventFd本质是一个pipe，epoll监听读端，这里是往pipe的写段写入数据。 到这里Message的创建和入队已经分析完了，我们下面分析Looper.loop()获取事件进行分发

## 任务的分发和执行

上面提到了消息入队的时候会按照当时情况判断是否唤醒队列的处理。我们这里主要看Looper.loop()的处理过程，我们这里再贴一遍代码。

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Looper.java]
    /**
     * Run the message queue in this thread. Be sure to call
     * {@link #quit()} to end the loop.
     */
    public static void loop() {
        final Looper me = myLooper();   // 获取Looper实例
        if (me == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("No Looper; Looper.prepare() wasn't called on this thread.");
        }
        final MessageQueue queue = me.mQueue;   // 获取MessageQueue实例

        // 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();    //c learCallingIdentity作用是清空远程调用端的uid和pid，用当前本地进程的uid和pid替代
        final long ident = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();

        // Allow overriding a threshold with a system prop. e.g.
        // adb shell 'setprop log.looper.1000.main.slow 1 && stop && start'
        final int thresholdOverride =
                SystemProperties.getInt("log.looper."
                        + Process.myUid() + "."
                        + Thread.currentThread().getName()
                        + ".slow", 0);

        boolean slowDeliveryDetected = false;

        for (;;) {  // Looper循环
            Message msg = queue.next(); // might block 取消息
            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);
            }
            // Make sure the observer won't change while processing a transaction.
            final Observer observer = sObserver;

            final long traceTag = me.mTraceTag;
            long slowDispatchThresholdMs = me.mSlowDispatchThresholdMs;
            long slowDeliveryThresholdMs = me.mSlowDeliveryThresholdMs;
            if (thresholdOverride > 0) {
                slowDispatchThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
                slowDeliveryThresholdMs = thresholdOverride;
            }
            final boolean logSlowDelivery = (slowDeliveryThresholdMs > 0) && (msg.when > 0);
            final boolean logSlowDispatch = (slowDispatchThresholdMs > 0);

            final boolean needStartTime = logSlowDelivery || logSlowDispatch;
            final boolean needEndTime = logSlowDispatch;

            if (traceTag != 0 && Trace.isTagEnabled(traceTag)) {
                Trace.traceBegin(traceTag, msg.target.getTraceName(msg));
            }

            final long dispatchStart = needStartTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
            final long dispatchEnd;
            Object token = null;
            if (observer != null) {
                token = observer.messageDispatchStarting();
            }
            long origWorkSource = ThreadLocalWorkSource.setUid(msg.workSourceUid);
            try {
                msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg); // 调用分发
                if (observer != null) {
                    observer.messageDispatched(token, msg);
                }
                dispatchEnd = needEndTime ? SystemClock.uptimeMillis() : 0;
            } catch (Exception exception) {
                if (observer != null) {
                    observer.dispatchingThrewException(token, msg, exception);
                }
                throw exception;
            } finally {
                ThreadLocalWorkSource.restore(origWorkSource);
                if (traceTag != 0) {
                    Trace.traceEnd(traceTag);
                }
            }
            if (logSlowDelivery) {
                if (slowDeliveryDetected) {
                    if ((dispatchStart - msg.when) <= 10) {
                        Slog.w(TAG, "Drained");
                        slowDeliveryDetected = false;
                    }
                } else {
                    if (showSlowLog(slowDeliveryThresholdMs, msg.when, dispatchStart, "delivery",
                            msg)) {
                        // Once we write a slow delivery log, suppress until the queue drains.
                        slowDeliveryDetected = true;
                    }
                }
            }
            if (logSlowDispatch) {
                showSlowLog(slowDispatchThresholdMs, dispatchStart, dispatchEnd, "dispatch", msg);
            }

            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();
        }
    }
```

我们重点看for循环里的内容:

1. queue.next() 从MessageQueue里获取一个Message
2. msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg) Message分发处理
3. msg.recycleUnchecked() Message实例的回收

我们先来看下取Message的过程

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/MessageQueue.java]

    @UnsupportedAppUsage
    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;

                    // Stalled by a barrier.  Find the next asynchronous message in the queue.
                    do {
                        prevMsg = msg;
                        msg = msg.next;
                    } while (msg != null && !msg.isAsynchronous());
                }

                        // 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) {      // 取出msg
                            prevMsg.next = msg.next;
                        } else {
                            mMessages = msg.next;
                        }
                        msg.next = null;
                        if (DEBUG) Log.v(TAG, "Returning message: " + msg);
                        msg.markInUse();   // 把msg标记为正在使用，防止再被取出
                        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.

                        && (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;
        }
    }
```

首先从函数结构上看，next方法内部是一个for死循环，也就是必须取到一个Message后next才会退出，所以这个方法会阻塞住。for循环外面是一些参数检查，mptr我们再MessageQueue的构造过程中看到过，它保存的是NativeMessageQueue的指针。然后next方法其实从功能上分为两部分：

1. nativePollOnce，进入Native MessageQueue去处理epoll中获得的事件
2. 从队列中获取一个合适的Message返回

nativePollOnce也是一个native方法

```cpp
[frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_MessageQueue.cpp]

static void android_os_MessageQueue_nativePollOnce(JNIEnv* env, jobject obj,
        jlong ptr, jint timeoutMillis) {
    NativeMessageQueue* nativeMessageQueue = reinterpret_cast<NativeMessageQueue*>(ptr);
    nativeMessageQueue->pollOnce(env, obj, timeoutMillis);
}
```

android\_os\_MessageQueue\_nativePollOnce函数调用的是NativeMessageQueue的pollOnce方法

```cpp
[frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_MessageQueue.cpp]

void NativeMessageQueue::pollOnce(JNIEnv* env, jobject pollObj, int timeoutMillis) {
    mPollEnv = env;
    mPollObj = pollObj;
    mLooper->pollOnce(timeoutMillis);
    mPollObj = NULL;
    mPollEnv = NULL;

    if (mExceptionObj) {
        env->Throw(mExceptionObj);
        env->DeleteLocalRef(mExceptionObj);
        mExceptionObj = NULL;
    }
}
```

NativeMessageQueue的pollOnce方法调用了Native Looper的pollOnce方法

```cpp
[system/core/libutils/include/utils/Looper.h]

/**
 * A polling loop that supports monitoring file descriptor events, optionally
 * using callbacks.  The implementation uses epoll() internally.
 *
 * A looper can be associated with a thread although there is no requirement that it must be.
 */
class Looper : public RefBase {
protected:
    virtual ~Looper();

public:
    /**
     * Waits for events to be available, with optional timeout in milliseconds.
     * Invokes callbacks for all file descriptors on which an event occurred.
     *
     * If the timeout is zero, returns immediately without blocking.
     * If the timeout is negative, waits indefinitely until an event appears.
     *
     * Returns POLL_WAKE if the poll was awoken using wake() before
     * the timeout expired and no callbacks were invoked and no other file
     * descriptors were ready.
     *
     * Returns POLL_CALLBACK if one or more callbacks were invoked.
     *
     * Returns POLL_TIMEOUT if there was no data before the given
     * timeout expired.
     *
     * Returns POLL_ERROR if an error occurred.
     *
     * Returns a value >= 0 containing an identifier if its file descriptor has data
     * and it has no callback function (requiring the caller here to handle it).
     * In this (and only this) case outFd, outEvents and outData will contain the poll
     * events and data associated with the fd, otherwise they will be set to NULL.
     *
     * This method does not return until it has finished invoking the appropriate callbacks
     * for all file descriptors that were signalled.
     */
    int pollOnce(int timeoutMillis, int* outFd, int* outEvents, void** outData);
    inline int pollOnce(int timeoutMillis) {
        return pollOnce(timeoutMillis, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
    }
}
```

调用了另一个pollOnce

```cpp
[system/core/libutils/Looper.cpp]

int Looper::pollOnce(int timeoutMillis, int* outFd, int* outEvents, void** outData) {
    int result = 0;
    for (;;) {
        while (mResponseIndex < mResponses.size()) {
            const Response& response = mResponses.itemAt(mResponseIndex++);
            int ident = response.request.ident;
            if (ident >= 0) {
                int fd = response.request.fd;
                int events = response.events;
                void* data = response.request.data;
#if DEBUG_POLL_AND_WAKE
                ALOGD("%p ~ pollOnce - returning signalled identifier %d: "
                        "fd=%d, events=0x%x, data=%p",
                        this, ident, fd, events, data);
#endif
                if (outFd != nullptr) *outFd = fd;
                if (outEvents != nullptr) *outEvents = events;
                if (outData != nullptr) *outData = data;
                return ident;
            }
        }

        if (result != 0) {
#if DEBUG_POLL_AND_WAKE
            ALOGD("%p ~ pollOnce - returning result %d", this, result);
#endif
            if (outFd != nullptr) *outFd = 0;
            if (outEvents != nullptr) *outEvents = 0;
            if (outData != nullptr) *outData = nullptr;
            return result;
        }

        result = pollInner(timeoutMillis);
    }
}
```

由于每次epoll取事件都会取不止一个event，这些event都会先组织起来放在mResponses中等待处理。如果mResponses中为空，则调用pollInner方法

```cpp
[system/core/libutils/Looper.cpp]

int Looper::pollInner(int timeoutMillis) {
#if DEBUG_POLL_AND_WAKE
    ALOGD("%p ~ pollOnce - waiting: timeoutMillis=%d", this, timeoutMillis);
#endif

    // Adjust the timeout based on when the next message is due.
    if (timeoutMillis != 0 && mNextMessageUptime != LLONG_MAX) {
        nsecs_t now = systemTime(SYSTEM_TIME_MONOTONIC);
        int messageTimeoutMillis = toMillisecondTimeoutDelay(now, mNextMessageUptime);
        if (messageTimeoutMillis >= 0
                && (timeoutMillis < 0 || messageTimeoutMillis < timeoutMillis)) {
            timeoutMillis = messageTimeoutMillis;
        }
#if DEBUG_POLL_AND_WAKE
        ALOGD("%p ~ pollOnce - next message in %" PRId64 "ns, adjusted timeout: timeoutMillis=%d",
                this, mNextMessageUptime - now, timeoutMillis);
#endif
    }

    // Poll.
    int result = POLL_WAKE;
    mResponses.clear();
    mResponseIndex = 0;

    // We are about to idle.
    mPolling = true;

    struct epoll_event eventItems[EPOLL_MAX_EVENTS];
    int eventCount = epoll_wait(mEpollFd.get(), eventItems, EPOLL_MAX_EVENTS, timeoutMillis); // epoll_wait 等待事件

    // No longer idling.
    mPolling = false;

    // Acquire lock.
    mLock.lock();

    // Rebuild epoll set if needed.
    if (mEpollRebuildRequired) {
        mEpollRebuildRequired = false;
        rebuildEpollLocked();
        goto Done;
    }

    // Check for poll error.
    if (eventCount < 0) {
        if (errno == EINTR) {
            goto Done;
        }
        ALOGW("Poll failed with an unexpected error: %s", strerror(errno));
        result = POLL_ERROR;
        goto Done;
    }

    // Check for poll timeout.
    if (eventCount == 0) {
#if DEBUG_POLL_AND_WAKE
        ALOGD("%p ~ pollOnce - timeout", this);
#endif
        result = POLL_TIMEOUT;  // 超时，没找到可以相应的事件
        goto Done;
    }

#if DEBUG_POLL_AND_WAKE
    ALOGD("%p ~ pollOnce - handling events from %d fds", this, eventCount);
#endif

    // 处理获取到的事件
    for (int i = 0; i < eventCount; i++) {
        int fd = eventItems[i].data.fd;
        uint32_t epollEvents = eventItems[i].events;
        if (fd == mWakeEventFd.get()) {
            if (epollEvents & EPOLLIN) {
                awoken();
            } else {
                ALOGW("Ignoring unexpected epoll events 0x%x on wake event fd.", epollEvents);
            }
        } else {

                pushResponse(events, mRequests.valueAt(requestIndex));  // 存放在mResponses里
            } else {
                ALOGW("Ignoring unexpected epoll events 0x%x on fd %d that is "
                        "no longer registered.", epollEvents, fd);

        }
    }

                        this, handler.get(), message.what);

                handler->handleMessage(message);
            } // release handler

            mLock.lock();

            result = POLL_CALLBACK;
        }
    }
    return result;
}
```

pollInner方法的流程：

1. 通过epoll\_wait获取事件
2. 处理从epoll\_wait中获得的事件，封装成Response放在mResponses中
3. 处理mMessageEnvelopes中的事件，这些事件是native层通过sendMessage方法发送到Native Looper中来的
4. 处理mResponses中的事件。

```cpp
[system/core/libutils/Looper.cpp]

void Looper::pushResponse(int events, const Request& request) {
    Response response;
    response.events = events;
    response.request = request;
    mResponses.push(response);
}
```

下面看下Message的分发处理。Message的target成员变量其实是一个Handler类型，所以msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg)调用的是Handler的dispatchMessage

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]

    /**
     * Handle system messages here.
     */
    public void dispatchMessage(@NonNull Message msg) {
        if (msg.callback != null) {
            handleCallback(msg);
        } else {
            if (mCallback != null) {
                if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
                    return;
                }
            }
            handleMessage(msg);  // 空实现
        }
    }
```

进入dispatchMessage分为三条路径去执行：

1. 如果Message的callback不为null，也就是说之前消息入队是通过Handler的post方法，参数是一个Runnable的执行体
2. 如果Message的callback为null，也就是之前消息入队是通过sendMessage方法，那需要调用用户定义的Handler中mCallback定义的handleMesage
3. 如果Handler的mCallback也为null，则会调用Handler的handleMessage方法，不过这个方法是个空实现，如果走到这里就没有任何意义了

handleMessage我们看到的比较多了，正常使用定义Handler回调都是覆写handleMessage方法，下面我们看下Message的handleCallback方法

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java]

    private static void handleCallback(Message message) {
        message.callback.run();
    }
```

handleCallback方法就是调用了Message的callback的run方法，callback是Message的一个成员变量，是Runnable类型。 最后是Message实例的回收，msg.recycleUnchecked()是对msg实例的回收，形成一个Message实例的池，由于LooperHandler使用非常频繁，所以用一个分配池方便快速的分配

```java
[frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Message.java]

    /**
     * Recycles a Message that may be in-use.
     * Used internally by the MessageQueue and Looper when disposing of queued Messages.
     */
    @UnsupportedAppUsage
    void recycleUnchecked() {
        // Mark the message as in use while it remains in the recycled object pool.
        // Clear out all other details.
        flags = FLAG_IN_USE;
        what = 0;
        arg1 = 0;
        arg2 = 0;
        obj = null;
        replyTo = null;
        sendingUid = UID_NONE;
        workSourceUid = UID_NONE;
        when = 0;
        target = null;
        callback = null;
        data = null;

        synchronized (sPoolSync) {
            if (sPoolSize < MAX_POOL_SIZE) {
                next = sPool;
                sPool = this;
                sPoolSize++;
            }
        }
    }
```

## 总结

完整的LooperHandler其实可以从功能上分为上下两层：

* 上层的是Java层的LooperHandler，主要功能是线程间的消息传递分发
* 下层的是Native层的LooperHandler，主要负责监听各种硬件，驱动，或者外部的事件触发，主要是通过epoll这个事件机制来完成的

这两层严格来说并不是表里或者一体的关系，从功能上完全可以分开用，不过在Android世界中，由于主线程就是在Looper的循环中，所以就将Native的LooperHandler集成其中了，在每次获取Message的时候都会去Native层查看一下，看是否有事件被触发。
