Android源码解析之(六)Activity启动过程

Android中,一个应用程序的开始是从ActivityThread.java中的main()方法开始的。

public static void main(String[] args){
    ...
    Looper.prepareMainLooper(); 
    //初始化Looper
    ...
    ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
    //实例化一个ActivityThread
    thread.attach(false);
    //这个方法最后就是为了发送出创建Application的消息
    ... 
    Looper.loop();
    //主线程进入无限循环状态,等待接收消息
}

ActivityThread的attach()方法最终的目的是发送出一条创建Application的消息——H.BIND_APPLICATION,到主线程的主Handler。

final ApplicationThread mAppThread = new ApplicationThread();

public void attach(boolean system){
    ...
    final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault();  
    //获得IActivityManager实例,下面会看看它是个啥
    try {
        mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);
         //看见没?关键啊。mAppThread这个参数下面也会说一下
    } catch (RemoteException ex) {
        throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
    }
    ...
}

IActivityManager 是一个接口,调用ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()获得的实际是一个代理类的实例ActivityManagerProxy

public ActivityManagerProxy(IBinder remote) {
        mRemote = remote;
}

static public IActivityManager asInterface(IBinder obj) {
    if (obj == null) {
        return null;
    }
    IActivityManager in =
        (IActivityManager)obj.queryLocalInterface(descriptor);
    //先检查一下有没有
    if (in != null) {
        return in;
    }
    ...
    return new ActivityManagerProxy(obj);
    //这个地方调用了构造函数
}

private static final Singleton gDefault = 
  new Singleton() {
    protected IActivityManager create() {
       IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService("activity");
       //重点啊!IBinder实例就是在这里获得的。
        ...
        IActivityManager am = asInterface(b);
        //调用了上面的方法。
        ...
        return am;
    }
};

接下来看看attachApplication这个方法到底是做了些什么?

final ApplicationThread mAppThread = new ApplicationThread();
public void attachApplication(IApplicationThread app){
  ...
  mRemote.transact(ATTACH_APPLICATION_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);  
  ...
}

调用了IBinder实例的tansact()方法,并且把参数app放到了data中,最终传递给ActivityManager

IApplicationThread 又是什么东东?通过源码我们可以发现

private class ApplicationThread extends ApplicationThreadNative{
    ...
}

public abstract class ApplicationThreadNative extends Binder 
    implements IApplicationThread{
    ...
    //无参构造函数
    public ApplicationThreadNative() {
        //这是Binder的
        attachInterface(this, descriptor);
    }
    ...
}

public interface IApplicationThread extends IInterface {
    ...
    String descriptor = "android.app.IApplicationThread"; 
    //留意下这个参数
    ...
}

ApplicationThread最终也是一个Binder!同时,由于实现了IApplicationThread接口,所以它也是一个IApplicationThread.

至此为止Binder就和AMS之间保持着通讯了。

ActivityManagerService调度发送初始化消息

AMS里面有一个attachApplicationLocked方法

private final boolean attachApplicationLocked(IApplicationThread thread
, int pid) {
    ...
    thread.bindApplication();
    ...
}

其实,最终也是会调用自己的bindApplication方法,初始化Application信息。

public final void bindApplication(String processName, 
    ApplicationInfo appInfo,
    List providers, 
    ComponentName instrumentationName,
    ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, 
    Bundle instrumentationArgs,
    IInstrumentationWatcher instrumentationWatcher,
    IUiAutomationConnection instrumentationUiConnection, 
    int debugMode,
    boolean enableBinderTracking, 
    boolean trackAllocation,
    boolean isRestrictedBackupMode, 
    boolean persistent, 
    Configuration config,
    CompatibilityInfo compatInfo, 
    Map services, 
    Bundle coreSettings){
    
    ...
    sendMessage(H.BIND_APPLICATION, data);
}

这个函数里面最重要的就是其实就是发了一条H.BIND_APPLICATION消息,通知主线程初始化Application。

private void handleBindApplication(AppBindData data) {
    ...
    mInstrumentation = (Instrumentation)
        cl.loadClass(data.instrumentationName.getClassName())
        .newInstance();
    //通过反射初始化一个Instrumentation仪表。后面会介绍。
    ...
    Application app = data.info.makeApplication(data.restrictedBackupMode, null);
    //通过LoadedApp命令创建Application实例
    mInitialApplication = app;
    ...
    mInstrumentation.callApplicationOnCreate(app);
    //让仪器调用Application的onCreate()方法
    ...
}

public void callApplicationOnCreate(Application app) {
    app.onCreate();
}
