Definition

Low-level class holding the list of messages to be dispatched by a Looper.

Attributes

Remarks

Low-level class holding the list of messages to be dispatched by a Looper. Messages are not added directly to a MessageQueue, but rather through Handler objects associated with the Looper.

You can retrieve the MessageQueue for the current thread with Looper#myQueue() Looper.myQueue().
