这个方法才是真正执行插入到队列的操作，把message插入到消息队列中。
像386行到427行等发送消息，均是调用sendMessageAtTime方法：
[java]
/**
* Sends a Message containing only the what value.
*
* @return Returns true if the message was successfully placed in to the
* message queue. Returns false on failure, usually because the
* looper processing the message queue is exiting.
*/
public final boolean sendEmptyMessage(int what)
{
return sendEmptyMessageDelayed(what, 0);
}
/**
* Sends a Message containing only the what value, to be delivered
* after the specified amount of time elapses.
* @see #sendMessageDelayed(android.os.Message, long)
*
* @return Returns true if the message was successfully placed in to the
* message queue. Returns false on failure, usually because the
* looper processing the message queue is exiting.
*/
public final boolean sendEmptyMessageDelayed(int what, long delayMillis) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
return sendMessageDelayed(msg, delayMillis);
}
/**
* Sends a Message containing only the what value, to be delivered
* at a specific time.
* @see #sendMessageAtTime(android.os.Message, long)
*
* @return Returns true if the message was successfully placed in to the
* message queue. Returns false on failure, usually because the
* looper processing the message queue is exiting.
*/
public final boolean sendEmptyMessageAtTime(int what, long uptimeMillis) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
return sendMessageAtTime(msg, uptimeMillis);
}
发送空消息，使用Message.obtain()方法获得一个Message（上面已经讲道这个方法）进行发送。
在往下495行sendMessageAtFrotOfQueue：
[java]
/**
* Enqueue a message at the front of the message queue, to be processed on
* the next iteration of the message loop. You will receive it in
* {@link #handleMessage}, in the thread attached to this handler.
* This method is only for use in very special circumstances -- it

* @return Returns true if the message was successfully placed in to the
* message queue. Returns false on failure, usually because the
