关于主线程中自动建立的Looper的思考:主线程中Looper中的轮询死循环为何没有阻塞主线程

Android中UI线程会自动给我们建立一个looper,但是looper中的loop方法是个死循环.为什么我们在UI线程中写的代码为何都能顺利执行?为什么没有引起ANR呢?

Looper的部分源码:

/**
* 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();
}
}

从源码的注释中,我们可以看出主线程中android会自动帮我们建立一个looper.

/**
* 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();
}
}

可以看出loop的确是个死循环.那么在主线程有个死循环,这仔细想一想不对劲,这样按常理主线程早就被阻塞报ANR异常啊.但是我们平时开发的时候似乎根本就不受这个死循环的影响.

ActivityThread部分源码:

/**
* This manages the execution of the main thread in an
* application process, scheduling and executing activities,
* broadcasts, and other operations on it as the activity
* manager requests.
*
* {@hide}
*/
public final class ActivityThread {
/** @hide */
public static final String TAG = "ActivityThread";
private static final android.graphics.Bitmap.Config THUMBNAIL_FORMAT = Bitmap.Config.RGB_565;
static final boolean localLOGV = false;
static final boolean DEBUG_MESSAGES = false;
.......省略

}

从ActivityThread类的注释上可以知道这个类管理着我们平常所说的主线程(UI线程)

其中里面有两个内部类:

ApplicationThread 部分源码:

可以看出这个类是负责发送消息的

private class ApplicationThread extends ApplicationThreadNative {
private static final String HEAP_FULL_COLUMN
= "%13s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s";
private static final String HEAP_COLUMN
= "%13s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s %8s";
private static final String ONE_COUNT_COLUMN = "%21s %8d";
private static final String TWO_COUNT_COLUMNS = "%21s %8d %21s %8d";
private static final String DB_INFO_FORMAT = "  %8s %8s %14s %14s  %s";

// Formatting for checkin service - update version if row format changes
private static final int ACTIVITY_THREAD_CHECKIN_VERSION = 3;

private int mLastProcessState = -1;

private void updatePendingConfiguration(Configuration config) {
synchronized (mResourcesManager) {
if (mPendingConfiguration == null ||
mPendingConfiguration.isOtherSeqNewer(config)) {
mPendingConfiguration = config;
}
}
}

public final void schedulePauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished,
boolean userLeaving, int configChanges) {
queueOrSendMessage(
finished ? H.PAUSE_ACTIVITY_FINISHING : H.PAUSE_ACTIVITY,
token,
(userLeaving ? 1 : 0),
configChanges);
}

public final void scheduleStopActivity(IBinder token, boolean showWindow,
int configChanges) {
queueOrSendMessage(
showWindow ? H.STOP_ACTIVITY_SHOW : H.STOP_ACTIVITY_HIDE,
token, 0, configChanges);
}

public final void scheduleWindowVisibility(IBinder token, boolean showWindow) {
queueOrSendMessage(
showWindow ? H.SHOW_WINDOW : H.HIDE_WINDOW,
token);
}

public final void scheduleSleeping(IBinder token, boolean sleeping) {
queueOrSendMessage(H.SLEEPING, token, sleeping ? 1 : 0);
}

public final void scheduleResumeActivity(IBinder token, int processState,
boolean isForward) {
updateProcessState(processState, false);
queueOrSendMessage(H.RESUME_ACTIVITY, token, isForward ? 1 : 0);
}

public final void scheduleSendResult(IBinder token, List<ResultInfo> results) {
ResultData res = new ResultData();
res.token = token;
res.results = results;
queueOrSendMessage(H.SEND_RESULT, res);
}

// we use token to identify this activity without having to send the
// activity itself back to the activity manager. (matters more with ipc)
public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, int ident,
ActivityInfo info, Configuration curConfig, CompatibilityInfo compatInfo,
int procState, Bundle state, List<ResultInfo> pendingResults,
List<Intent> pendingNewIntents, boolean notResumed, boolean isForward,
String profileName, ParcelFileDescriptor profileFd, boolean autoStopProfiler) {

updateProcessState(procState, false);

ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord();

r.token = token;
r.ident = ident;
r.intent = intent;
r.activityInfo = info;
r.compatInfo = compatInfo;
r.state = state;

r.pendingResults = pendingResults;
r.pendingIntents = pendingNewIntents;

r.startsNotResumed = notResumed;
r.isForward = isForward;

r.profileFile = profileName;
r.profileFd = profileFd;
r.autoStopProfiler = autoStopProfiler;

updatePendingConfiguration(curConfig);

queueOrSendMessage(H.LAUNCH_ACTIVITY, r);
}
......省略
}

这上面的方法大家有没有一种眼熟的感觉

我们在来看一下ActivityThread中的main方法,也就是这个类的入口:

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");
}

到了这在结合前面那两个内部类,我们其实就明白了.其实我们Acitvity中所有的生命周期方法都是由handler和looper和消息队列构成的,loop的确是个死循环,但是我们看到它后面就没有需要执行的代码,我们在生命周期内写的方法都是在这个死循环内的,这样就不存在ANR这个问题了.

我没有仔细去看消息机制如何去运转实现生命周期的具体细节,大家可以仔细去Android源码中看我提到的那些类,大家可能会更明白些.

最后祝大家新年快乐
