I have a class that extends HandlerThread and implements Handler.Callback. I can't understand how to setup the Handlers to send messages back and forth to each other under this scheme. My Handler1 needs to talk to Handler2 and vice versa but because this is being implemented in a HandlerThread which has it's own looper I am not sure how to instantiate these objects. I'm simply stuck on how to apply this to syntax. I have posted my crack at it below. Any help is appreciated.
...
public class MyClass implements Runnable {
private Handler handler1 = null;
private Handler handler2 = null;
CyclicBarrier barrier = new CyclicBarrier(2);
class myThread extends HandlerThread implements Handler.Callback {
...
@Override
protected void onLooperPrepared() {
handler1 = new Handler(getLooper(), this){
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
};
handler2 = new Handler(getLooper(), this){
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
};
try {
barrier.await();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Runnable runnable1 = new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
Message message = Message.obtain();
message.setTarget(handler2);
message.obj = handler2;
message.sendToTarget();
}
};
Runnable runnable2 = new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
Message message = Message.obtain();
message.obj = handler1;
message.setTarget(handler1);
}
};
}
@Override
public boolean handleMessage(Message reqMsg) {
//do some work
return true;
}
}
...
public void run() {
Thread mThread1 = new Thread(runnable1);
Thread mThread2 = new Thread(runnable2);
mThread1.start();
mThread2.start();
}
}
