分析Android Activity的启动过程
分析Android Activity的启动过程
对于Android Activity 的启动过程,我在Android源码中读了好久的源码,以下是我整理出来的Activity启动过程和大家分享下:
Activity作为Android的四大组件之一,也是最基本的组件,负责与用户交互的所有功能。Activity的启动过程也并非一件神秘的事情,接下来就简单的从源码的角度分析一下Activity的启动过程。
根Activity一般就是指我们项目中的MainActivity,代表了一个android应用程序,一般也是在一个新的进程中启动起来。在Android系统中,所有的Activity组件都保存在堆栈中,我们启动一个新的Activity组件就位于上一个Activity的上面。那么我们从桌面(Launcher)打开一个App是一个怎样的过程呢,如下所示:
(1)Launcher向ActivityManagerService发送一个启动MainActivity的请求;
(2)ActivityManagerService首先将MainActivity的相关信息保存下来,然后向Launcher发送一个使之进入中止状态的请求;
(3)Launcher收到中止状态之后,就会想ActivityManagerService发送一个已进入中止状态的请求,便于ActivityManagerService继续执行启动MainActivity的操作;
(4)ActivityManagerService检查用于运行MainActivity的进程,如果不存在,则启动一个新的进程;
(5)新的应用程序进程启动完成之后,就会向ActivityManagerService发送一个启动完成的请求,便于ActivityManagerService继续执行启动MainActivity的操作;
(6)ActivityManagerService将第(2)步保存下来的MainActivity相关信息发送给新创建的进程,便于该进程启动MainActivity组件。
Launcher.startActivitySafely
boolean startActivitySafely(Intent intent, Object tag) { intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); try { startActivity(intent); return true; } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {} }
当我们在Launcher上点击应用程序图标时,startActivitySafely方法会被调用。需要启动的Activity信息保存在intent中,包括action、category等等。那么Launcher是如何获得intent里面的这些信息呢?首先,系统在启动时会启动一个叫做PackageManagerService的管理服务,并且通过他来安装系统中的应用程序,在这个过程中,PackageManagerService会对应用程序的配置文件AndroidManifest.xml进行解析,从而得到程序里的组件信息(包括Activity、Service、Broadcast等),然后PackageManagerService去查询所有action为“android.intent.action.MAIN”并且category为“android.intent.category.LAUNCHER”的Activity,然后为每个应用程序创建一个快捷方式图标,并把程序信息与之关联。上述代码中,Activity的启动标志位设置为“Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK”,便于他可以在一个新的任务中启动。
Activity.startActivity
@Override public void startActivity(Intent intent, @Nullable Bundle options) { if (options != null) { startActivityForResult(intent, -1, options); } else { startActivityForResult(intent, -1); } }
调用startActivityForResult,第二个参数(requestCode)为-1则表示在Activity关闭时不需要将结果传回来。
Activity.startActivityForResult
public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int requestCode, @Nullable Bundle options) { if (mParent == null) { //一般的Activity其mParent都为null Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar = mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,intent, requestCode, options); if (ar != null) { //发送结果,即onActivityResult会被调用 mMainThread.sendActivityResult(mToken, mEmbeddedID, requestCode, ar.getResultCode(), ar.getResultData()); } if (requestCode >= 0) { mStartedActivity = true; } final View decor = mWindow != null ? mWindow.peekDecorView() : null; if (decor != null) { decor.cancelPendingInputEvents(); } } else { //在ActivityGroup内部的Activity,内部处理逻辑和上面是类似的 if (options != null) { mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode, options); } else { mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode); } } if (options != null && !isTopOfTask()) { mActivityTransitionState.startExitOutTransition(this, options); } }
不难发现,最后实际上是调用mInstrumentation.execStartActivity来启动Activity,mInstrumentation类型为Instrumentation,用于监控程序和系统之间的交互操作。mInstrumentation代为执行Activity的启动操作,便于他可以监控这一个交互过程。
mMainThread的类型为ActivityThread,用于描述一个应用程序进程,系统每启动一个程序都会在它里面加载一个ActivityThread的实例,并且将该实例保存在Activity的成员变量mMainThread中,而mMainThread.getApplicationThread()则用于获取其内部一个类型为ApplicationThread的本地Binder对象。mToken的类型为IBinder,他是一个Binder的代理对象,只想了ActivityManagerService中一个类型为ActivityRecord的本地Binder对象。每一个已经启动的Activity在ActivityManagerService中都有一个对应的ActivityRecord对象,用于维护Activity的运行状态及信息。
Instrumentation.execStartActivity
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target, Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) { IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread; if (mActivityMonitors != null) { synchronized (mSync) { final int N = mActivityMonitors.size(); for (int i=0; i<N; i++) { //先查找一遍看是否存在这个activity final ActivityMonitor am = mActivityMonitors.get(i); if (am.match(who, null, intent)) { am.mHits++; if (am.isBlocking()) { return requestCode >= 0 ? am.getResult() : null; } break; } } } } try { intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData(); intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(); int result = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent, intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null, requestCode, 0, null, options); //这里才是真正打开activity的地方,其核心功能在whoThread中完成。 checkStartActivityResult(result, intent); // 处理各种异常,如ActivityNotFound } catch (RemoteException e) { } return null; }
上述代码可知,通过ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()获取一个ActivityManagerService的代理对象,然后调用他的startActivity方法来通知ActivityManagerService去启动Activity。
中间还有一系列过程,跟着源码走下去,不难发现,最后,是调用ApplicationThread的scheduleLaunchActivity来进行Activity的启动。
Application.scheduleLaunchActivity
public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, int ident, ActivityInfo info, Configuration curConfig, CompatibilityInfo compatInfo, String referrer, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor, int procState, Bundle state, PersistableBundle persistentState, List<ResultInfo> pendingResults, List<ReferrerIntent> pendingNewIntents, boolean notResumed, boolean isForward, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo) { updateProcessState(procState, false); ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord(); r.token = token; r.ident = ident; r.intent = intent; r.referrer = referrer; r.voiceInteractor = voiceInteractor; r.activityInfo = info; r.compatInfo = compatInfo; r.state = state; r.persistentState = persistentState; r.pendingResults = pendingResults; r.pendingIntents = pendingNewIntents; r.startsNotResumed = notResumed; r.isForward = isForward; r.profilerInfo = profilerInfo; updatePendingConfiguration(curConfig); sendMessage(H.LAUNCH_ACTIVITY, r); }
上述代码主要做的事就是构造一个ActivityClientRecord,然后调用sendMessage发送一个消息。在应用程序对应的进程中,每一个Activity组件都使用一个ActivityClientRecord对象来描述,他们保存在ActivityThread类的成员变量mActivities中。那么Handler是如何处理这个消息的呢?
H.handleMessage
switch (msg.what) { // 消息类型 case LAUNCH_ACTIVITY: { Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "activityStart"); final ActivityClientRecord r = (ActivityClientRecord) msg.obj; r.packageInfo = getPackageInfoNoCheck( r.activityInfo.applicationInfo, r.compatInfo); handleLaunchActivity(r, null); // 处理消息 Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER); } break; case RELAUNCH_ACTIVITY: { Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "activityRestart"); ActivityClientRecord r = (ActivityClientRecord)msg.obj; handleRelaunchActivity(r); Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER); } break; case PAUSE_ACTIVITY: Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "activityPause"); handlePauseActivity((IBinder)msg.obj, false, (msg.arg1&1) != 0, msg.arg2, (msg.arg1&2) != 0); maybeSnapshot(); Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER); break; ... ... }
首先将msg里面的obj转成一个ActivityClientRecord对象,然后调用来获取一个LoaderApk对象并保存在ActivityClientRecord对象的成员变量packageInfo中。Loader对象用于描述一个已经加载的APK文件。最后调用handleLaunchActivity来启动Activity组件。
ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity
private void handleLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) { unscheduleGcIdler(); mSomeActivitiesChanged = true; if (r.profilerInfo != null) { mProfiler.setProfiler(r.profilerInfo); mProfiler.startProfiling(); } handleConfigurationChanged(null, null); if (localLOGV) Slog.v( TAG, "Handling launch of " + r); WindowManagerGlobal.initialize(); Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent); //performLaunchActivity真正完成了activity的调起,Activity被实例化,onCreate被调用 if (a != null) { r.createdConfig = new Configuration(mConfiguration); Bundle oldState = r.state; handleResumeActivity(r.token, false, r.isForward, // 再调用Activity实例的Resume(用户界面可见) !r.activity.mFinished && !r.startsNotResumed); if (!r.activity.mFinished && r.startsNotResumed) { try { r.activity.mCalled = false; mInstrumentation.callActivityOnPause(r.activity); // finish的时候先调onPause if (r.isPreHoneycomb()) { r.state = oldState; } if (!r.activity.mCalled) { throw new SuperNotCalledException( "Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() + " did not call through to super.onPause()"); } } catch (SuperNotCalledException e) { throw e; } catch (Exception e) { if (!mInstrumentation.onException(r.activity, e)) { throw new RuntimeException( "Unable to pause activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() + ": " + e.toString(), e); } } r.paused = true; } } else { try { ActivityManagerNative.getDefault() // finishActivity 一样的原理 .finishActivity(r.token, Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null, false); } catch (RemoteException ex) { } } }
到了这一步,那就很清晰了。憋了一口气到这里,是不是突然放松了一下~~ 再来看看performLaunchActivity做的事儿~~performLaunchActivity函数加载用户自定义的Activity的派生类,并执行其onCreate函数,它将返回此Activity对象。
ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity
private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) { ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo; if (r.packageInfo == null) { r.packageInfo = getPackageInfo(aInfo.applicationInfo, r.compatInfo, Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE); } //从intent中取出目标activity的启动参数(包名、类名等) ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent(); if (component == null) { component = r.intent.resolveActivity( mInitialApplication.getPackageManager()); r.intent.setComponent(component); } if (r.activityInfo.targetActivity != null) { component = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName, r.activityInfo.targetActivity); } Activity activity = null; try { java.lang.ClassLoader cl = r.packageInfo.getClassLoader(); // 将Activity类文件加载到内存中 activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity( // 创建Activity实例 cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent); StrictMode.incrementExpectedActivityCount(activity.getClass()); r.intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl); r.intent.prepareToEnterProcess(); if (r.state != null) { r.state.setClassLoader(cl); } } catch (Exception e) { if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) { throw new RuntimeException( "Unable to instantiate activity " + component + ": " + e.toString(), e); } } try { Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation); if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Performing launch of " + r); if (localLOGV) Slog.v( TAG, r + ": app=" + app + ", appName=" + app.getPackageName() + ", pkg=" + r.packageInfo.getPackageName() + ", comp=" + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() + ", dir=" + r.packageInfo.getAppDir()); if (activity != null) { Context appContext = createBaseContextForActivity(r, activity); // 初始化Context对象,作为Activity的上下文 CharSequence title = r.activityInfo.loadLabel(appContext.getPackageManager()); Configuration config = new Configuration(mCompatConfiguration); if (DEBUG_CONFIGURATION) Slog.v(TAG, "Launching activity " + r.activityInfo.name + " with config " + config); activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token, r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent, r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstances, config, r.referrer, r.voiceInteractor); if (customIntent != null) { activity.mIntent = customIntent; } r.lastNonConfigurationInstances = null; activity.mStartedActivity = false; int theme = r.activityInfo.getThemeResource(); if (theme != 0) { activity.setTheme(theme); } activity.mCalled = false; if (r.isPersistable()) { //下面就是调用到acitivity的onCreate方法了 mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state, r.persistentState); } else { mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state); } // 至此,Activity启动过程就结束了,其生命周期由ApplicationThread来管理 if (!activity.mCalled) { throw new SuperNotCalledException( "Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() + " did not call through to super.onCreate()"); } r.activity = activity; r.stopped = true; if (!r.activity.mFinished) { activity.performStart(); r.stopped = false; } if (!r.activity.mFinished) { if (r.isPersistable()) { if (r.state != null || r.persistentState != null) { mInstrumentation.callActivityOnRestoreInstanceState(activity, r.state, r.persistentState); } } else if (r.state != null) { mInstrumentation.callActivityOnRestoreInstanceState(activity, r.state); } } if (!r.activity.mFinished) { activity.mCalled = false; if (r.isPersistable()) { mInstrumentation.callActivityOnPostCreate(activity, r.state, r.persistentState); } else { mInstrumentation.callActivityOnPostCreate(activity, r.state); } if (!activity.mCalled) { throw new SuperNotCalledException( "Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() + " did not call through to super.onPostCreate()"); } } } r.paused = true; mActivities.put(r.token, r); // 将ActivityRecord对象保存在ActivityThread的mActivities中 } catch (SuperNotCalledException e) { throw e; } catch (Exception e) { if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) { throw new RuntimeException( "Unable to start activity " + component + ": " + e.toString(), e); } } return activity; }
ActivityRecord里面的token,是一个Binder的代理对象,和ActivityClientRecord对象一样,都是用来描述所启动的Activity组件,只不过前者是在ActivityManagerService中使用,后者是在应用程序进程中使用。
至此,Activity的启动过程就分析完了。MainActivity的启动过程,其实也可以认为是应用程序的启动过程。
子Activity的启动过程和根Activity的启动过程也是类似的,过程如下:
(1)MainActivity向ActivityManagerService发送一个自动ChildActivity的请求;
(2)ActivityManagerService首先将ChildActivity的信息保存下来,再向MainActivity发送一个中止的请求;
(3)MainActivity收到请求进入中止状态,告诉ActivityManagerService,便于ActivityManagerService继续执行启动ChildActivity的操作
(4)ActivityManagerService检查ChildActivity所运行的进程是否存在,存在就发送ChildActivity信息给他,以进行启动。
源代码方面,原理类似,相比起来会比MainActivity的稍微简单一些,这里就不再详细叙述了,各位可以自行根据前面步骤,阅读源代码。
