Question

Hi I want to use only single handler for more than one Activity.Can I do that ?

Answer 1

To add a bit to Octavian answer, you will actually have a single Handler class but one instance per activity.

For example:

public class MyHandler extends Handler {
  // Keep a weak reference to the activity owning the handler
  private WeakReference<Activity> activityRef;

  public MyHandler(Activity a) {
    this.activityRef = new WeakReference<Activity>(a);
  }

  public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
    // do your stuff here, for instance, finish the activity
    if (activityRef.get()!=null) {
      activityRef.get().finish();
    }
  }
}

Then in your activity:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
  protected MyHandler handler;

  public void onCreate() {
    // This is where you'll re-use the handler code
    handler = new MyHandler(this);
  }
}
