TestLooperManager

public class TestLooperManager
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.os.TestLooperManager


Blocks a looper from executing any messages, and allows the holder of this object to control when and which messages get executed until it is released.

A TestLooperManager should be acquired using Instrumentation.acquireLooperManager(Looper). Until release() is called, the Looper thread will not execute any messages except when execute(android.os.Message) is called. The test code may use next() to acquire messages that have been queued to this Looper/MessageQueue and then execute(Message) to run any that desires.
