最近在面试，Android中Handler相关的面试题问到的几率大概有百分之百的样子……
有一个问题是这样的，就是在主线程中使用Handler来处理异步，由于Handler中Looper.loop()在没有Message的时候是阻塞状态，但是为什么没有造成ANR呢？大家都知道造成ANR的原因有以下两点：
1.当前的事件没有机会得到处理（即主线程正在处理前一个事件，没有及时的完成或者looper被某种原因阻塞住了）；
2.当前的事件正在处理，但没有及时完成。
在Android中Activity中阻塞5秒、Service 20秒、BroadCastReceiver 10秒，就会造成ANR。
那为什么Looper.loop()没有造成ANR呢？
Android的主线程是ActivityThread，在ActivityThread中main方法中通过 Looper.prepareMainLooper();创建Looper，并开启循环Looper.loop();
public static void main(String[] args) {
……
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
……
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}Looper.loop()源码：
public static void loop() {
……
for (;;) {
Message msg = queue.next(); // might block
if (msg == null) {
// No message indicates that the message queue is quitting.
return;
}
msg.recycleUnchecked();
}
}可以看出在loop中for(;;)是一个无限循，会使程序进入到了死循环的状态。当如果没有消息的时候，会return；return之后会执行ActivityThread中main的 throw new RuntimeException(“Main thread loop unexpectedly exited”);接着整个主线程就会退出了。所以就是说，在主线程中当loop()方法没有轮询到消息的时候。主线程就直接退出了。所以在这里我们知道了Looper.loop()消息循环，一旦退出消息循环，那么应用也就退出了。
在ActivityThread 内部类H中的handleMessage（）部分源码：
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) Slog.v(TAG, ">>> handling: " + codeToString(msg.what));
switch (msg.what) {
case LAUNCH_ACTIVITY: {

}可以看见Activity的生命周期都是依靠主线程的Looper.loop，当收到不同Message时则采用相应措施。
Android 整体的交互都是由事件驱动的，looper.loop() 会不断地接收事件、处理事件，每一个事件以及组件的生命周期都是运行在 Looper.loop() 的控制之下，如果它停止了，应用也就停止了。只能是某一个消息或者说对消息的处理阻塞了 Looper.loop()，而不是 Looper.loop() 阻塞它。因此在主线程中使用Handler来做一些异步操作的时候，其实此时Looper只不过是在它日常处理消息的同时多了一些额外的消息。
结论：Looper.loop()当没有轮询到消息事件的时候，整个应用程序就退出了，而我们的消息事件都是在Looper.loop()循环内，如果循环内没有得到及时的处理事件，或者处理事件用时过长，就会造成了ANR。
