MainActivity如下:

package cc.c;

	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

	}

	private void initTest() {
		System.out.println("UI线程ID=" + Thread.currentThread().getId());

					System.out.println("取消Runnable的执行");
					if (mRunnable != null) {

		};

		// 为方便测试将以下三个方法分别调用
		// testSendMessage();
		// testPost();
		testPostDelayed();
	}

	/**
	 * Handler调用sendMessage()发送消息
	 */
	private void testSendMessage() {
		new Thread() {

			public void run() {
				super.run();
				Message message = new Message();
				message.what = 1;
				message.obj = new Object();
				mHandler.sendMessage(message);
			}
		}.start();
	}

	/**
	 * Handler调用post()发送Runnable(本质也是发送消息)
	 */
	private void testPost() {
		mRunnable = new Runnable() {
			public void run() {
				System.out.println("Runnable所属线程ID="+Thread.currentThread().getId());
				for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
					System.out.println("Runnable中的i=" + i);
				}
			}
		};
		mHandler.post(mRunnable);
	}

	/**

	 */
	private void testPostDelayed() {

		};
		// 1 发送带有延迟的Runnable
		mHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable, 1000);
		// 2 也可按照业务需求取消该mRunnable
		// 即调用removeCallbacks(mRunnable);
		// 等同于调用mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(CANCEL_RUNNABLE);
		mHandler.removeCallbacks(mRunnable);
	}

}
