AsyncQueryHandler的使用方法

/**
     * This method begins an asynchronous query. When the query is done
     * {@link #onQueryComplete} is called.
     *
     * @param token A token passed into {@link #onQueryComplete} to identify
     *  the query.
     * @param cookie An object that gets passed into {@link #onQueryComplete}
     * @param uri The URI, using the content:// scheme, for the content to
     *         retrieve.
     * @param projection A list of which columns to return. Passing null will
     *         return all columns, which is discouraged to prevent reading data
     *         from storage that isn't going to be used.
     * @param selection A filter declaring which rows to return, formatted as an
     *         SQL WHERE clause (excluding the WHERE itself). Passing null will
     *         return all rows for the given URI.
     * @param selectionArgs You may include ?s in selection, which will be
     *         replaced by the values from selectionArgs, in the order that they
     *         appear in the selection. The values will be bound as Strings.
     * @param orderBy How to order the rows, formatted as an SQL ORDER BY
     *         clause (excluding the ORDER BY itself). Passing null will use the
     *         default sort order, which may be unordered.

由上面的参数可以看出跟一般的数据库语句是一样的，看看token参数，是为了区分每次查询的，就是在回调方法中会传入该参数，让用户知道这次回调是响应哪次查询的。

这token只要用户自己能区分就行，最好是唯一性的。还有cookie，由字面可以知道，在complete后在会传给回调方法。

这个类就是另开线程执行数据的操作，然后在调用startxxx（）的线程回调onCompletexxx（）方法。

AsyncQueryHandler extends Handler。

构造的时候，调用父类的空参构造方法Handler()，即是说当前线程必须调用Looper.prepare()或者是主线程。处理onCompletexxx（）方法就是在该Hanlder的handleMessage（）

中，而处理数据库操作的逻辑是在AsyncQueryHandler的内部类protected class WorkerHandler extends Handler中执行，看下面的AsyncQueryHandler构造方法源码可以知

道，传入WorkerHandler的looper是另开一个子线程的，所以WorkerHandler的handlerMessage（）方法会在另开的子线程中调用。HandlerThread其实就是一个Thread。

public AsyncQueryHandler(ContentResolver cr) {
        super();
        mResolver = new WeakReference<ContentResolver>(cr);
        synchronized (AsyncQueryHandler.class) {
            if (sLooper == null) {
                HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("AsyncQueryWorker");
                thread.start();

                sLooper = thread.getLooper();
            }
        }
        mWorkerThreadHandler = createHandler(sLooper);
    }

protected class WorkerHandler extends Handler {
        public WorkerHandler(Looper looper) {
            super(looper);
        }

        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
            final ContentResolver resolver = mResolver.get();
            if (resolver == null) return;

            WorkerArgs args = (WorkerArgs) msg.obj;

            int token = msg.what;
            int event = msg.arg1;

            switch (event) {
                case EVENT_ARG_QUERY:
                    Cursor cursor;
                    try {
                        cursor = resolver.query(args.uri, args.projection,
                                args.selection, args.selectionArgs,
                                args.orderBy);
                        // Calling getCount() causes the cursor window to be filled,
                        // which will make the first access on the main thread a lot faster.
                        if (cursor != null) {
                            cursor.getCount();
                        }
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        Log.w(TAG, "Exception thrown during handling EVENT_ARG_QUERY", e);
                        cursor = null;
                    }

                    args.result = cursor;
                    break;

                case EVENT_ARG_INSERT:
                    args.result = resolver.insert(args.uri, args.values);
                    break;

                case EVENT_ARG_UPDATE:
                    args.result = resolver.update(args.uri, args.values, args.selection,
                            args.selectionArgs);
                    break;

                case EVENT_ARG_DELETE:
                    args.result = resolver.delete(args.uri, args.selection, args.selectionArgs);
                    break;
            }

            // passing the original token value back to the caller
            // on top of the event values in arg1.
            Message reply = args.handler.obtainMessage(token);
            reply.obj = args;
            reply.arg1 = msg.arg1;

            if (localLOGV) {
                Log.d(TAG, "WorkerHandler.handleMsg: msg.arg1=" + msg.arg1

            case EVENT_ARG_UPDATE:
                onUpdateComplete(token, args.cookie, (Integer) args.result);
                break;

            case EVENT_ARG_DELETE:
                onDeleteComplete(token, args.cookie, (Integer) args.result);
                break;
        }
    }
}

注意：创建AsyncQueryHandler的线程没有Looper，则会抛出RuntimeException，这个和创建Handler的

条件是一致。因为在子线程（query线程）在工作结束后，回会调用onComplete（）方法，是通过handler在

创建AsyncQueryHandler的线程中调用。

Handler、Looper、MessageQueue
