- launcher继承Activity，手机主Activity,其中保存了当安装应用时应用的Manifest文件的启动信息。
当点击屏幕app时调用onClickAppMarketButton方法
public void onClickAppMarketButton(View v) {
if (mAppMarketIntent != null) {
startActivitySafely(v, mAppMarketIntent, "app market");
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Invalid app market intent.");
}
}
startActivitySafely，调用launcher中重载的startActivity方法，最终调用的是Activity中的startActivityForResul方法
boolean startActivity(View v, Intent intent, Object tag) {
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
try {
// Only launch using the new animation if the shortcut has not opted out (this is a
// private contract between launcher and may be ignored in the future).
boolean useLaunchAnimation = (v != null) &&
!intent.hasExtra(INTENT_EXTRA_IGNORE_LAUNCH_ANIMATION);
UserHandle user = (UserHandle) intent.getParcelableExtra(ApplicationInfo.EXTRA_PROFILE);
LauncherApps launcherApps = (LauncherApps)
this.getSystemService(Context.LAUNCHER_APPS_SERVICE);
if (useLaunchAnimation) {
ActivityOptions opts = ActivityOptions.makeScaleUpAnimation(v, 0, 0,
v.getMeasuredWidth(), v.getMeasuredHeight());
if (user == null || user.equals(android.os.Process.myUserHandle())) {
// Could be launching some bookkeeping activity
startActivity(intent, opts.toBundle());
} else {
launcherApps.startMainActivity(intent.getComponent(), user,
intent.getSourceBounds(),
opts.toBundle());
}
} else {
if (user == null || user.equals(android.os.Process.myUserHandle())) {
startActivity(intent);
} else {
launcherApps.startMainActivity(intent.getComponent(), user,
intent.getSourceBounds(), null);
}
}
return true;
} catch (SecurityException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.activity_not_found, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.e(TAG, "Launcher does not have the permission to launch " + intent +
". Make sure to create a MAIN intent-filter for the corresponding activity " +
"or use the exported attribute for this activity. "
+ "tag="+ tag + " intent=" + intent, e);
}
return false;
}
- Activity中的
startActivityForResul，会调用Instrumentation的execStartActivity方法
public void startActivityForResult(
String who, Intent intent, int requestCode, @Nullable Bundle options) {
Uri referrer = onProvideReferrer();
if (referrer != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER, referrer);
}
options = transferSpringboardActivityOptions(options);
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, who,
intent, requestCode, options);
if (ar != null) {
mMainThread.sendActivityResult(
mToken, who, requestCode,
ar.getResultCode(), ar.getResultData());
}
cancelInputsAndStartExitTransition(options);
}
其中mMainThread 就是主线程的引用，即ActivityThread，创建过程时当App启动时创建，当Activity attach时被赋值。调用getApplicationThread返回的是一个Binder对象，类型是ApplicationThread即Launcher所在的App进程。
而ActivityThread的创建过程后边我们继续介绍。
3.这里我们继续看调用了Instrumentation的execStartActivity方法后，发生了什么，继续看源码
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
int result = ActivityManager.getService()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
}
看到这里我们会发现，是通过ActivityManager.getSearvice方法获取一个IActivityManager对象启动。IActivityManager是在c++层实现了IInterface的接口.
public static IActivityManager getService() {
return IActivityManagerSingleton.get();
}
@UnsupportedAppUsage
private static final Singleton<IActivityManager> IActivityManagerSingleton =
new Singleton<IActivityManager>() {
@Override
protected IActivityManager create() {
final IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
final IActivityManager am = IActivityManager.Stub.asInterface(b);
return am;
}
};
最终通过AIDL跨进程去启动Activity。(备注，26开始AMP 即ActivityManagerProxy已经被弃用)。这个过程使用的是binder在server端系统自动完成,而这个server端即是AMS(ActivityManagerService)
4.检查是否存在启动的Activit
5.launcher中的其他启动的app进入pause状态，ApplicationThread接收到AMS的PAUSE_ACTIVITY消息后，调用ActivityThread的sendMessage方法抛出消息,再通过handlePauseActivity方法停止其他进程
public void handlePauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished, boolean userLeaving,
int configChanges, PendingTransactionActions pendingActions, String reason) {
ActivityClientRecord r = mActivities.get(token);
if (r != null) {
if (userLeaving) {
performUserLeavingActivity(r);
}
r.activity.mConfigChangeFlags |= configChanges;
performPauseActivity(r, finished, reason, pendingActions);
// Make sure any pending writes are now committed.
if (r.isPreHoneycomb()) {
QueuedWork.waitToFinish();
}
mSomeActivitiesChanged = true;
}
}
其中mActivities保存了所有打开的activity
6.AMS启动前台新进程
7.ActivityThread的创建过程，虽然说是在app启动时创建，但是创建过程却不是开发者自己创建，而是系统提供的底层类为我们创建好了，核心代码如下
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");
// CloseGuard defaults to true and can be quite spammy. We
// disable it here, but selectively enable it later (via
// StrictMode) on debug builds, but using DropBox, not logs.
CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);
Environment.initForCurrentUser();
// Make sure TrustedCertificateStore looks in the right place for CA certificates
final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);
Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
// Find the value for {@link #PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT} if provided on the command line.
// It will be in the format "seq=114"
long startSeq = 0;
if (args != null) {
for (int i = args.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
if (args[i] != null && args[i].startsWith(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT)) {
startSeq = Long.parseLong(
args[i].substring(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT.length()));
}
}
}
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false, startSeq);
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
// End of event ActivityThreadMain.
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}
这里可以看到，初始化了looper以及开启loop循环，同时也创建ActivityThread对象。
attach方法，为 currentActivityThread 赋值为 ActivityThread，并初始化一个 Instrumentation 对象，Instrumentation 对象的用处我们后边再看。
private void attach(boolean system, long startSeq) {
sCurrentActivityThread = this;
mSystemThread = system;
if (!system) {
android.ddm.DdmHandleAppName.setAppName("<pre-initialized>",
UserHandle.myUserId());
RuntimeInit.setApplicationObject(mAppThread.asBinder());
final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManager.getService();
try {
mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread, startSeq);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
// Watch for getting close to heap limit.
BinderInternal.addGcWatcher(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {
if (!mSomeActivitiesChanged) {
return;
}
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
long dalvikMax = runtime.maxMemory();
long dalvikUsed = runtime.totalMemory() - runtime.freeMemory();
if (dalvikUsed > ((3*dalvikMax)/4)) {
if (DEBUG_MEMORY_TRIM) Slog.d(TAG, "Dalvik max=" + (dalvikMax/1024)
+ " total=" + (runtime.totalMemory()/1024)
+ " used=" + (dalvikUsed/1024));
mSomeActivitiesChanged = false;
try {
mgr.releaseSomeActivities(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw e.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
}
});
} else {
// Don't set application object here -- if the system crashes,
// we can't display an alert, we just want to die die die.
android.ddm.DdmHandleAppName.setAppName("system_process",
UserHandle.myUserId());
try {
mInstrumentation = new Instrumentation();
mInstrumentation.basicInit(this);
ContextImpl context = ContextImpl.createAppContext(
this, getSystemContext().mPackageInfo);
mInitialApplication = context.mPackageInfo.makeApplication(true, null);
mInitialApplication.onCreate();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to instantiate Application():" + e.toString(), e);
}
}
ViewRootImpl.ConfigChangedCallback configChangedCallback
= (Configuration globalConfig) -> {
synchronized (mResourcesManager) {
// We need to apply this change to the resources immediately, because upon returning
// the view hierarchy will be informed about it.
if (mResourcesManager.applyConfigurationToResourcesLocked(globalConfig,
null /* compat */)) {
updateLocaleListFromAppContext(mInitialApplication.getApplicationContext(),
mResourcesManager.getConfiguration().getLocales());
// This actually changed the resources! Tell everyone about it.
if (mPendingConfiguration == null
|| mPendingConfiguration.isOtherSeqNewer(globalConfig)) {
mPendingConfiguration = globalConfig;
sendMessage(H.CONFIGURATION_CHANGED, globalConfig);
}
}
}
};
ViewRootImpl.addConfigCallback(configChangedCallback);
}
这里通过LoadAp对象，构建了一个ContextImpl对象用来标识当前进程的运行环境信息,再借助Instrumention对象，反射创建一个Applicaiton
public Application makeApplication(boolean forceDefaultAppClass,
Instrumentation instrumentation) {
if (mApplication != null) {
return mApplication;
}
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "makeApplication");
Application app = null;
String appClass = mApplicationInfo.className;
if (forceDefaultAppClass || (appClass == null)) {
appClass = "android.app.Application";
}
try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = getClassLoader();
if (!mPackageName.equals("android")) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER,
"initializeJavaContextClassLoader");
initializeJavaContextClassLoader();
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
}
ContextImpl appContext = ContextImpl.createAppContext(mActivityThread, this);
app = mActivityThread.mInstrumentation.newApplication(
cl, appClass, appContext);
appContext.setOuterContext(app);
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mActivityThread.mInstrumentation.onException(app, e)) {
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to instantiate application " + appClass
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
mActivityThread.mAllApplications.add(app);
mApplication = app;
if (instrumentation != null) {
try {
instrumentation.callApplicationOnCreate(app);
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!instrumentation.onException(app, e)) {
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to create application " + app.getClass().getName()
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
}
// Rewrite the R 'constants' for all library apks.
SparseArray<String> packageIdentifiers = getAssets().getAssignedPackageIdentifiers();
final int N = packageIdentifiers.size();
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
final int id = packageIdentifiers.keyAt(i);
if (id == 0x01 || id == 0x7f) {
continue;
}
rewriteRValues(getClassLoader(), packageIdentifiers.valueAt(i), id);
}
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
return app;
}
反射创建
public Application newApplication(ClassLoader cl, String className, Context context)
throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException,
ClassNotFoundException {
Application app = getFactory(context.getPackageName())
.instantiateApplication(cl, className);
app.attach(context);
return app;
}
7.ApplicationThread是作为系统ActivityManager与App进程进行跨进程通信的媒介。因为laucher知道要启动的activity，所以通过ActivityThread抛出LAUNCH_ACTIVITY消息，创建Activity并启动。Activity的创建过程是通过Instrumentation的newActivity方法，并调用callActivityOnCreate执行要启动的actvity。
public Activity newActivity(Class<?> clazz, Context context,
IBinder token, Application application, Intent intent, ActivityInfo info,
CharSequence title, Activity parent, String id,
Object lastNonConfigurationInstance) throws InstantiationException,
IllegalAccessException {
Activity activity = (Activity)clazz.newInstance();
ActivityThread aThread = null;
// Activity.attach expects a non-null Application Object.
if (application == null) {
application = new Application();
}
activity.attach(context, aThread, this, token, 0 /* ident */, application, intent,
info, title, parent, id,
(Activity.NonConfigurationInstances)lastNonConfigurationInstance,
new Configuration(), null /* referrer */, null /* voiceInteractor */,
null /* window */, null /* activityConfigCallback */);
return activity;
}
调用Activity.OnCreate
public void callActivityOnCreate(Activity activity, Bundle icicle) {
prePerformCreate(activity);
activity.performCreate(icicle);
postPerformCreate(activity);
}
