     25   * Class used to run a message loop for a thread.  Threads by default do
     26   * not have a message loop associated with them; to create one, call
     27   * {@link #prepare} in the thread that is to run the loop, and then
     28   * {@link #loop} to have it process messages until the loop is stopped.
     29   *
     30   * <p>Most interaction with a message loop is through the
     31   * {@link Handler} class.
     32   *
     33   * <p>This is a typical example of the implementation of a Looper thread,
     34   * using the separation of {@link #prepare} and {@link #loop} to create an
     35   * initial Handler to communicate with the Looper.
