在看handler机制原理的时候，发现了一个IdleHandler，在MessageQueue.java文件中
public static interface IdleHandler {
/**
* Called when the message queue has run out of messages and will now
* wait for more. Return true to keep your idle handler active, false
* to have it removed. This may be called if there are still messages
* pending in the queue, but they are all scheduled to be dispatched
* after the current time.
*/
boolean queueIdle();
}
其中返回true就是继续接受，返回false就只接受一次。字面意思就是当消息队列为空等待更多的时候回调用这个，还有一种就是消息等待的时候也会调用，这个看看源码在哪里调用
主要在next()函数中
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.
//1.关注这里设置pendingIdleHandlerCount的值，初始化为-1
if (pendingIdleHandlerCount < 0
&& (mMessages == null || now < mMessages.when)) {
pendingIdleHandlerCount = mIdleHandlers.size();
}
// 如果pendingIdleHandlerCount<=0,就block，直接continue，继续执行for
if (pendingIdleHandlerCount <= 0) {
// No idle handlers to run. Loop and wait some more.
mBlocked = true;
continue;
}
// 初始化mPendingIdleHandlers，赋值
if (mPendingIdleHandlers == null) {
mPendingIdleHandlers = new IdleHandler[Math.max(pendingIdleHandlerCount, 4)];
}
mPendingIdleHandlers = mIdleHandlers.toArray(mPendingIdleHandlers);
}
// 开始执行回调
// 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) {
// keep 为false， 删除idler
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;
}
}
从上面源码可以看出，在调用next的时候，会遍历当前要执行的message，
1.如果队列为空，通知调用mPendingIdleHandlers通知
2.如果第一个message是还没开始执行，也通过mPendingIdleHandlers
添加和删除idleHandler，在MessageQueue类中有方法
/**
* Add a new {@link IdleHandler} to this message queue. This may be
* removed automatically for you by returning false from
* {@link IdleHandler#queueIdle IdleHandler.queueIdle()} when it is
* invoked, or explicitly removing it with {@link #removeIdleHandler}.
*
* <p>This method is safe to call from any thread.
*
* @param handler The IdleHandler to be added.
*/
public void addIdleHandler(@NonNull IdleHandler handler) {
if (handler == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("Can't add a null IdleHandler");
}
synchronized (this) {
mIdleHandlers.add(handler);
}
}
/**
* Remove an {@link IdleHandler} from the queue that was previously added
* with {@link #addIdleHandler}. If the given object is not currently
* in the idle list, nothing is done.
*
* <p>This method is safe to call from any thread.
*
* @param handler The IdleHandler to be removed.
*/
public void removeIdleHandler(@NonNull IdleHandler handler) {
synchronized (this) {
mIdleHandlers.remove(handler);
}
}
/**
主要通过这个，通过这个机制，可以监听到当前loop的是不是数组为空，或者等待了
