24 /**
25   * Class used to run a message loop for a thread.  Threads by default do
26   * not have a message loop associated with them; to create one, call
27   * {@link #prepare} in the thread that is to run the loop, and then
28   * {@link #loop} to have it process messages until the loop is stopped.
29   *
30   * <p>Most interaction with a message loop is through the
31   * {@link Handler} class.
32   *
33   * <p>This is a typical example of the implementation of a Looper thread,
34   * using the separation of {@link #prepare} and {@link #loop} to create an
35   * initial Handler to communicate with the Looper.
36   *
37   * <pre>
38   *  class LooperThread extends Thread {
39   *      public Handler mHandler;
40   *
41   *      public void run() {
42   *          Looper.prepare();
43   *
44   *          mHandler = new Handler() {
45   *              public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
46   *                  // process incoming messages here
47   *              }
48   *          };

51   *      }
