I need a message queue in my background thread, so I created a looper
thread.
// Example 1:
class LooperThread extends Thread {
public Handler mHandler;
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
mHandler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// process incoming messages here
}
};
Looper.loop();
}
}
In my main (UI) thread I do:
LooperThread workerThread = new LooperThread()
workerThread.start() // starts initializing the thread
Now the question is how to communicate with it? I can have an
accesser getHandle() that returns my handle so I can send messages to
it.
The issue is that I have no idea when workerThread.start() has
finishing run() on the thread (and thus initialized the Handler) so I
have no deterministic way of sending/posting to it just yet.
Another words, I don't know when Looper.loop() starts running...
My goal is to enqueue a message into its MessageQueue immediately
after Handle is created so it can start handling them.
What's the correct pattern here?
Thanks
