Handler处理消息

            }
            handleMessage(msg);
        }
    }

    private static void handleCallback(Message message) {
        message.callback.run();
    }
    
    /**
     * Subclasses must implement this to receive messages.
     */
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
    }

     * Return a new Message instance from the global pool. Allows us to
     * avoid allocating new objects in many cases.

        }
        return new Message();
    }
    /** Constructor (but the preferred way to get a Message is to call {@link #obtain() Message.obtain()}).
    */
    public Message() {
    }

    /**
     * arg1 and arg2 are lower-cost alternatives to using

     */

        this.data = http://www.mamicode.com/data;>3. 用Message.what来标识信息，以便用不同方式处理message。

示例代码

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
	TextView mTextView;
	MyHandler mHandler = new MyHandler();
	

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
		
		mTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test1);
		new Thread(new UpdateTitleTask(mHandler)).start();
	}

	private class MyHandler extends Handler {

		@Override
		public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
			Bundle bundle = msg.getData();
			mTextView.setText(bundle.getString("title", ""));
		}
		
	}
}

public class UpdateTitleTask implements Runnable{
	private Handler handler;
	
	public UpdateTitleTask(Handler handler) {

	}
	
	private Message prepareMsg() {

	@Override
