MVC Components

Android Msg Handler

• Message: containing a description and arbitrary data object

• Runnable: a command that can be executed• Handler: allows you to send and process

Message and Runnable • Looper: used to run a message loop for a thread

10

Concept of Multithread

11

Android Rules• Do not block the UI thread (or

main thread).• Do not access the Android UI

toolkit from outside the UI thread.

12

Event Listener• Interface to process specific

events

13

PhoneStateListner• Monitors changes in specific telephony

states on the device, including service state, signal strength, message waiting indicator (voicemail).

Broadcast Receiver

• An Intent-based publish-subscribe mechanism.

• Great for listening system events such as SMS messages.
