It is more efficient to create one Handler that takes care of a bunch
of events, than separate inner class Runnables for each of them. So I
would suggest something like this:
static final int MSG1 = 1;
static final int MSG2 = 2;
void do1() {
}
void do2() {
}
final Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
void handleMessage(Message m) {
switch (m.what) {
case MSG1: do1(); break;
case MSG2: do2(); break;
}
}
}
In the examples below, if the Handler is only going to do one thing,
then there is no difference really between it and a Runnable, so I
would suggest using a Runnable. But ideally you would do something
like the above, a Handler that does multiple things. And you can
structure that however you want -- as an anonymous inner class like
this, as a regular inner class, as a separate class, etc.
