What is looper, handler, and message queue in Android?..

Answer / Priyanka Rani

"Looper is a part of the Handler class in Android that allows you to run tasks (or messages) on a separate thread from the main UI thread. A Handler object is associated with a Looper, which processes messages sent to it using a MessageQueue. The MessageQueue manages the order in which messages are delivered to their respective Handlers.".
