Android Handler/AHandler消息机制分析

1.文章介绍

在这么多Android应用开发的时候,Handler一遍又一遍的出现在自己写的代码中,Handler的使用也让程序代码的流程清晰易懂。但是作为一名CODER,我不能仅仅满足熟练的使用Handler来完成消息异步事件的处理。一直以来,我都想写一篇文章来说一说Handler机制的实现,恰好最近总是接触AHandler,所以索性把两种实现放在一起来分析,有对比的同时还能加深不同层次的理解。

这是之前我想写又没有写本篇文章的原因,大概也有人跟我是同样的感觉吧。
问题1,从哪开始讲?
问题2,有什么收获?
问题3,怎么讲?

2.干货

本篇文章在Android SDK源码基础上,会分别从JAVA源码和C++源码来分析HandlerAHandler

首先看看Android Java层的Handler使用,为了方便测试写了一个很简单的DEMO

package com.example.apitestdemo;

import io.vov.vitamio.utils.Log;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;

public class HandlerTest extends Activity {
    public static final String TAG = HandlerTest.class.getSimpleName();
    public static final int MSG_BASE = 0;

    Handler mainHandler = new Handler() {
        @Override
        public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
            switch (msg.what) {
            case MSG_BASE:
                Log.d(TAG, "get message , now we can do something");
                break;
            default:
                break;
            }
        };
    };

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(arg0);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        Message msg = mainHandler.obtainMessage();
        msg.what = MSG_BASE;
        mainHandler.sendMessageDelayed(msg, 5000);
        
        Log.d(TAG, "for test , we print here");
    }

}

这是Android上面很简单的使用Handler来实现消息分发的DEMO,为了体现Handler的异步机制,特意添加了两个打印,输出如下:

06-19 11:13:48.857 D/HandlerTest ( 2001): for test , we print here
06-19 11:13:53.857 D/HandlerTest ( 2001): get message , now we can do something

在应用层使用Handler就是这么简单(在这个DEMOHandler绑定了当前Activity的线程,由这个线程维护消息队列)。

/**
 * A Handler allows you to send and process {@link Message} and Runnable
 * objects associated with a thread's {@link MessageQueue}.  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.
 * 
 * <p>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.
 * 
 * <p>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 <em>post</em> versions allow
 * you to enqueue Runnable objects to be called by the message queue when
 * they are received; the <em>sendMessage</em> 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).
 * 
 * <p>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.
 * 
 * <p>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 <em>post</em> or <em>sendMessage</em> 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.

按文章开篇的DEMO来分析,首先创建了一个Handler对象:

     public Handler() {
        this(null, false);
     }

     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;    //注意 Handler中的mQueue其实就是Looper中的mQueue,清楚这点对后面的分析有帮助
        mCallback = callback;
        mAsynchronous = async;
    }

这里创建了一个Looper,先看看Looper的完整源码:

那么在创建HandlerLooper.myLooper()是什么:

static final ThreadLocal<Looper> sThreadLocal = new ThreadLocal<Looper>();
/**
* Return the Looper object associated with the current thread. Returns
* null if the calling thread is not associated with a Looper.
*/
public static Looper myLooper() {
    return sThreadLocal.get();
}

从上面的源码看出Looper只有preparesThreadLocal才会有有效的Looper对象:

在启动一个APK时,ActivityManagerService调用startProcessLocked方法(调用流程读者自己可以百度下),在startProcessLocked中:

 Process.ProcessStartResult startResult = Process.start("android.app.ActivityThread",
                    app.processName, uid, uid, gids, debugFlags, mountExternal,
                    app.info.targetSdkVersion, app.info.seinfo, null);

通过反射调用了ActivityThreadmain入口:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        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());

        Security.addProvider(new AndroidKeyStoreProvider());

        Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");

        Looper.prepareMainLooper();

        ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
        thread.attach(false);

        if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
            sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
        }

        AsyncTask.init();

        if (false) {
            Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
                    LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
        }

        Looper.loop();

        throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
    }

那么启动一个APK,就会默认创建一个依附于主进程的Looper(prepareMainLooper),最终会开始loop轮询MessageQueue队列中的消息:

    /**
     * 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();
        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
            Printer logging = me.mLogging;
            if (logging != null) {
                logging.println(">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " +
                        msg.callback + ": " + msg.what);
            }

            msg.target.dispatchMessage(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.recycle();
        }
    }

所以DEMOHandlerLooper就是主进程的MainLooper,发送消息时的准备:

        Message msg = mainHandler.obtainMessage();
        msg.what = MSG_BASE;
        mainHandler.sendMessageDelayed(msg, 5000);

来看看obtainMessage:

/**Handler.java*/
public final Message obtainMessage()
{
    return Message.obtain(this);
}

从上面代码可以看到,Message就是一个消息池,当池里面还有可用的消息对象时,pull出这个消息重复使用,避免资源浪费,否则会新建一个Message对象。
那么sendMessageDelayed了解一下:

    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);
    }

    private boolean enqueueMessage(MessageQueue queue, Message msg, long uptimeMillis) {
        msg.target = this;
        if (mAsynchronous) {
            msg.setAsynchronous(true);
        }
        return queue.enqueueMessage(msg, uptimeMillis);
    }

还记得Looper中的mQueue吗,发消息时在sendMessageAtTimemQueue作为参数间接调用了MessageQueueenqueueMessage接口实现排队处理,MessageQueue完整源码如下:

                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;
    }

看到这里其实事情就明朗了,回顾下Looper中的实现:

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
            Printer logging = me.mLogging;
            if (logging != null) {
                logging.println(">>>>> Dispatching to " + msg.target + " " +
                        msg.callback + ": " + msg.what);
            }

            msg.target.dispatchMessage(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.recycle();
        }
    }

这里就很明显的去轮询Looper消息队列mQueue,队列中有消息则会调用msg.target.dispatchMessage(msg);,而msg.target就是在发消息时使用的Handler对象,最后回收msg
再看看Handler中的dispatchMessage实现:

    public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
        if (msg.callback != null) {
            handleCallback(msg);
        } else {
            if (mCallback != null) {
                if (mCallback.handleMessage(msg)) {
                    return;
                }
            }
            handleMessage(msg);
        }
    }

    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
    }

所以在消息处理完时,就会调用子类的handleMessage,因此在DEMO中就会收到Handler分发下来的MSG_BASE消息。

当然,Handler不止这一种使用方法,在本篇文章中我只是举例了一种非常简单的使用方法,其他使用方法希望读者可以自己参考本文去分析。

Android Java源码层Handler 、 Looper 、Message就是这样构成了应用层面的消息处理机制。


Android C++源码层也有类似的消息机制,AHandler,AMessage,ALooper一起构成了这样的一个消息机制框架,很少有人直接使用这套机制写个简单易懂的DEMO,为了和上面JAVA代码保持一致,我这里自己也写了一个DEMO

/**SimpleTest.h*/
#include <media/stagefright/foundation/AHandler.h>
#include <media/stagefright/foundation/AMessage.h>
#include <media/stagefright/foundation/AString.h>

namespace android{

struct SimpleTest : public AHandler {
    SimpleTest();
    
    void testMsg();
    
protected:
    virtual ~SimpleTest();

    virtual void onMessageReceived(const sp<AMessage> &msg);
    
private:
    enum {
        kMsgBase,
        kMsgTest,
    };
    DISALLOW_EVIL_CONSTRUCTORS(SimpleTest);
};
}
/**SimpleTest.cpp*/
//#define LOG_NDEBUG 0

#define LOG_TAG "SimpleTest"

#include <media/stagefright/foundation/ABuffer.h>
#include <media/stagefright/foundation/ADebug.h>
#include <media/stagefright/foundation/AMessage.h>

#include <utils/Log.h>

#include "SimpleTest.h"

namespace android {
    
SimpleTest::SimpleTest(){
        
}
    
SimpleTest::~SimpleTest(){
        
}
    
void SimpleTest::testMsg(){
    ALOGE("testMsg post");
    sp<AMessage> msg = new AMessage(kMsgTest, id());
    msg->setString("info", "this is info");
    msg->post(5000000); //delay 5s
}

void SimpleTest::onMessageReceived(const sp<AMessage> &msg){
     switch (msg->what()) {
        case kMsgTest:
        {
            ALOGE("onMessageReceived kMsgTest");
            break;
        }
        default:
        break;
     }
}

}
/**main.cpp*/
/*
 * Author:yangwu
 * Date:2018/06/20
 */

//#define LOG_NDEBUG 0
#define LOG_TAG "HandlerTest"

#include <utils/Log.h>

#include <binder/IServiceManager.h>
#include <binder/ProcessState.h>

#include <media/stagefright/foundation/ALooper.h>
#include <media/stagefright/foundation/AMessage.h>

#include "SimpleTest.h"

int main(int agc,char **agv){
    using namespace android;
    ProcessState::self()->startThreadPool();
    
    sp<ALooper> looper = new ALooper;
    looper->setName("testLooper");
    
    sp<SimpleTest> test = new SimpleTest;
    looper->registerHandler(test);
    
    looper->start(
            false, // runOnCallingThread
            false, // canCallJava
            ANDROID_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND);
    
    test->testMsg();
    ALOGE("looper here");
    while(1){
        sleep(1);
    }
    return 0;
}

输出如下:

06-20 10:40:48.491 E/SimpleTest(17844): testMsg post
06-20 10:40:48.491 E/HandlerTest(17844): looper here
06-20 10:40:53.491 E/SimpleTest(17844): onMessageReceived kMsgTest

所以通过对比可以看到Android JavaHandlerhandleMessageAndroid C++层中AHandleronMessageReceived都是回调函数,用于响应消息。

还是按照DEMO来分析实现:

    sp<ALooper> looper = new ALooper;
    looper->setName("testLooper");
    
    sp<SimpleTest> test = new SimpleTest;
    looper->registerHandler(test);
    
    looper->start(
            false, // runOnCallingThread
            false, // canCallJava
            ANDROID_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND);

首先来看看ALooper源码:

可以看到Looper子类LooperThread是继承Thread的。
先是调用:

ALooper::ALooper()
    : mRunningLocally(false) {
}
void ALooper::setName(const char *name) {
    mName = name;
}
ALooper::handler_id ALooper::registerHandler(const sp<AHandler> &handler) {
    return gLooperRoster.registerHandler(this, handler);
}

DEMOSimpleTest是继承AHandler的子类,ALooper通过registerHandler函数和AHandler绑定起来。根据ALooper::registerHandler的实现,我们先看看gLooperRoster,源码如下:

    while ((index = mReplies.indexOfKey(replyID)) < 0) {
        mRepliesCondition.wait(mLock);
    }

    *response = mReplies.valueAt(index);
    mReplies.removeItemsAt(index);

    return OK;
}

void ALooperRoster::postReply(uint32_t replyID, const sp<AMessage> &reply) {
    Mutex::Autolock autoLock(mLock);

    CHECK(mReplies.indexOfKey(replyID) < 0);
    mReplies.add(replyID, reply);
    mRepliesCondition.broadcast();
}

}  // namespace android

其中ALooperRoster ::registerHandler函数把ALooper(这里传递的是this)和AHandler(这里是子类SimpleTest)关联在一起,把looperhandler添加到mHandlers池中,下面再来重点分析AHandler源码:

#ifndef A_HANDLER_H_

#define A_HANDLER_H_

#include <media/stagefright/foundation/ALooper.h>
#include <utils/RefBase.h>

namespace android {

struct AMessage;

struct AHandler : public RefBase {
    AHandler()
        : mID(0) {
    }

    ALooper::handler_id id() const {
        return mID;
    }

    sp<ALooper> looper();

protected:
    virtual void onMessageReceived(const sp<AMessage> &msg) = 0;

private:
    friend struct ALooperRoster;

    ALooper::handler_id mID;

    void setID(ALooper::handler_id id) {
        mID = id;
    }

    DISALLOW_EVIL_CONSTRUCTORS(AHandler);
};

}  // namespace android

#endif  // A_HANDLER_H_
//#define LOG_NDEBUG 0
#define LOG_TAG "AHandler"
#include <utils/Log.h>

#include <media/stagefright/foundation/AHandler.h>

#include <media/stagefright/foundation/ALooperRoster.h>

namespace android {

sp<ALooper> AHandler::looper() {
    extern ALooperRoster gLooperRoster;

    return gLooperRoster.findLooper(id());
}

}  // namespace android

AHandler实现就很简单了,其实就是让ALooperRoster来背锅 ̄へ ̄,看下面这张图就清楚多了:

ALooperAHandler创建并关联后,还需要启动ALooper:

 looper->start(
            false, // runOnCallingThread
            false, // canCallJava
            ANDROID_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND);

源码如下:

status_t ALooper::start(
        bool runOnCallingThread, bool canCallJava, int32_t priority) {
    if (runOnCallingThread) {
        {
            Mutex::Autolock autoLock(mLock);

            if (mThread != NULL || mRunningLocally) {
                return INVALID_OPERATION;
            }

            mRunningLocally = true;
        }

        do {
        } while (loop());

        return OK;
    }

    Mutex::Autolock autoLock(mLock);

    if (mThread != NULL || mRunningLocally) {
        return INVALID_OPERATION;
    }

    mThread = new LooperThread(this, canCallJava);

    status_t err = mThread->run(
            mName.empty() ? "ALooper" : mName.c_str(), priority);
    if (err != OK) {
        mThread.clear();
    }

    return err;
}

runOnCallingThreadtrue时表示在调用进程中直接loop

bool ALooper::loop() {
    Event event;

    {
        Mutex::Autolock autoLock(mLock);
        if (mThread == NULL && !mRunningLocally) {
            return false;
        }
        if (mEventQueue.empty()) {
            mQueueChangedCondition.wait(mLock);
            return true;
        }
        int64_t whenUs = (*mEventQueue.begin()).mWhenUs;
        int64_t nowUs = GetNowUs();

        if (whenUs > nowUs) {
            int64_t delayUs = whenUs - nowUs;
            mQueueChangedCondition.waitRelative(mLock, delayUs * 1000ll);

            return true;
        }

        event = *mEventQueue.begin();
        mEventQueue.erase(mEventQueue.begin());
    }

    gLooperRoster.deliverMessage(event.mMessage);

    // NOTE: It's important to note that at this point our "ALooper" object
    // may no longer exist (its final reference may have gone away while
    // delivering the message). We have made sure, however, that loop()
    // won't be called again.

    return true;
}

runOnCallingThreadfalse时,创建LooperThreadrun起来,把looper作为传参:

    virtual status_t readyToRun() {
        mThreadId = androidGetThreadId();

        return Thread::readyToRun();
    }

    virtual bool threadLoop() {
        return mLooper->loop();
    }

在线程的threadLoop中,清晰的看到了ALooper::loop的调用,根据loop函数的实现可以知道最终通过LooperRoster::deliverMessage来分发消息:

void ALooperRoster::deliverMessage(const sp<AMessage> &msg) {
    sp<AHandler> handler;

    {
        Mutex::Autolock autoLock(mLock);

        ssize_t index = mHandlers.indexOfKey(msg->target());

        if (index < 0) {
            ALOGW("failed to deliver message. Target handler not registered.");
            return;
        }

        const HandlerInfo &info = mHandlers.valueAt(index);
        handler = info.mHandler.promote();

        if (handler == NULL) {
            ALOGW("failed to deliver message. "
                 "Target handler %d registered, but object gone.",
                 msg->target());

            mHandlers.removeItemsAt(index);
            return;
        }
    }

    handler->onMessageReceived(msg);
}

从上面的源码中看到,mHandlers池里面去除消息对应的AHandler对象,然后调用对应的onMessageReceived函数发送消息,因此在DEMO中的SimpleTest实现的onMessageReceived函数就能收到对应的kMsgTest消息。

虽然AHandlerAndroidlibstagefright中实现的,但从这里看起来,完全可以封装起来作为一个共享库。这和本文无关,后面我打算精简出来放到git上。

3.结束语

到这里,本篇文章就该结束了,我在Android源码基础上分别从JAVA层和C++层来分析了Handler/AHandler消息机制,可以看到两种方式设计模式基本是一样的,这种优秀的设计模式在Android源码中到处可见,也希望自己乃至读者能在其他业务中灵活的运用这种消息机制。
