A Looper
is an Android class used to run a message loop for a thread, which usually do not have one associated with them.
The most common Looper
in Android is the main-loop, also commonly known as the main-thread. This instance is unique for an application and can be accessed statically with Looper.getMainLooper()
.
If a Looper
is associated with the current thread, it can be retrieved with Looper.myLooper()
.
