在使用中的不同
1.在Activity中跳转到其他的Activity时,两种使用方法是一样的:
this.startActivity(intent);
context.startActivity(intent);
2.从非 Activity (例如从其他Context中)启动Activity则必须给intent设置Flag:FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK:
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) ;
mContext.startActivity(intent);
探究一下为什么会有这方面的差异
首先看下Activity和context的继承关系:
要知道Activity和context中的StartActivity有什么区别,我们看下它们分别是怎么实现startActivity函数的:
1.Context是抽象类,它的startActivity函数是抽象方法:
public abstract void startActivity(@RequiresPermission Intent intent);
2.ContextWrapper类只是调用了Context的实现:
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
mBase.startActivity(intent);
}
3.ContextThemeWrapper中没有实现此方法
4.Activity中:
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent, @Nullable Bundle options) {
if (options != null) {
startActivityForResult(intent, -1, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this call for compatibility with
// applications that may have overridden the method.
startActivityForResult(intent, -1);
}
}
由此可见,在Activity中无论是使用哪一种startActivity方法都会调用到Activity自身的方法,所以是一样的。
然而在其他的Context子类,例如ContextImpl.java中的实现,会检查有没有设置Flag:FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK,否则会报错:
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent, Bundle options) {
warnIfCallingFromSystemProcess();
// Calling start activity from outside an activity without FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is
// generally not allowed, except if the caller specifies the task id the activity should
// be launched in. A bug was existed between N and O-MR1 which allowed this to work. We
// maintain this for backwards compatibility.
final int targetSdkVersion = getApplicationInfo().targetSdkVersion;
if ((intent.getFlags() & Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) == 0
&& (targetSdkVersion < Build.VERSION_CODES.N
|| targetSdkVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P)
&& (options == null
|| ActivityOptions.fromBundle(options).getLaunchTaskId() == -1)) {
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(
"Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity "
+ " context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag."
+ " Is this really what you want?");
}
mMainThread.getInstrumentation().execStartActivity(
getOuterContext(), mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), null,
(Activity) null, intent, -1, options);
}
这也就是为什么Activity的startActivity和Context的startActivity会有上面那些使用上的不同的原因了。
