Android 开机启动APP，不显示默认的桌面

一、 了解桌面（Launcher）的启动过程

1. 内核—>Zygote—> SystemServer—>ActivityManager—>Launcher。最终是在ActivityManager里启动的Launcher。

    对应的源代码：\frameworks\base\services\java\com\android\server\am\ActivityStack.java

 final boolean resumeTopActivityLocked(ActivityRecord prev, Bundle options) {
        // Find the first activity that is not finishing.
        ActivityRecord next = topRunningActivityLocked(null);

        // Remember how we'll process this pause/resume situation, and ensure
        // that the state is reset however we wind up proceeding.
        final boolean userLeaving = mUserLeaving;
        mUserLeaving = false;

        if (next == null) {        
           // There are no more activities!  Let's just start up the
            // Launcher...
            if (mMainStack) {
                ActivityOptions.abort(options);
                return mService.startHomeActivityLocked(mCurrentUser);
            }
        }

.....

}

 若没有其他activity就启动mService.startHomeActivityLocked(mCurrentUser);。开机时当然还没有其他的Activity。

2  startHomeActivityLocked函数路径：  frameworks\base\services\java\com\android\server\am\ActivityManagerService.java

   boolean startHomeActivityLocked(int userId) {
        if (mHeadless) {
            // Added because none of the other calls to ensureBootCompleted seem to fire
            // when running headless.
            ensureBootCompleted();
            return false;
        }

        if (mFactoryTest == SystemServer.FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL
                && mTopAction == null) {
            // We are running in factory test mode, but unable to find
            // the factory test app, so just sit around displaying the
            // error message and don't try to start anything.
            return false;
        }
        Intent intent = new Intent(
            mTopAction,
            mTopData != null ? Uri.parse(mTopData) : null);
        intent.setComponent(mTopComponent);
        if (mFactoryTest != SystemServer.FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL) {
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
        }
        ActivityInfo aInfo =
            resolveActivityInfo(intent, STOCK_PM_FLAGS, userId);
        if (aInfo != null) {
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
                    aInfo.applicationInfo.packageName, aInfo.name));
            // Don't do this if the home app is currently being
            // instrumented.
            aInfo = new ActivityInfo(aInfo);
            aInfo.applicationInfo = getAppInfoForUser(aInfo.applicationInfo, userId);
            ProcessRecord app = getProcessRecordLocked(aInfo.processName,
                    aInfo.applicationInfo.uid);
            if (app == null || app.instrumentationClass == null) {
                intent.setFlags(intent.getFlags() | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                mMainStack.startActivityLocked(null, intent, null, aInfo,
                        null, null, 0, 0, 0, 0, null, false, null);
            }
        }

        return true;
    }

函数创建一个CATEGORY_HOME的Intent，然后向PackageManagerService 查询带有CATEGORY类型为HOME的Activity，

最后启动这个Activity。

Launcher的APP源码中AndroidManifest.xml文件中有描述：

          <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>
            </intent-filter> 

 

二、简易实现自定义桌面

根据Launcher的原理，可以将自定义的Activity作为桌面，及将自己的Activity描述里加上：

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
，然后重启机器时选择自己的Activity为桌面。

不足：安装APP后需要重启机器，并在首次重启时选择自己的activity为默认桌面。

 

三、通过启动广播自动打开APP

 Android系统启动后会发送广播，在APP里写一个BroadcastReceiver，收到广播后启动对应的activity或者server。

public class BootBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

 private static final String BOOT_ACTION = "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED";
 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  if(arg1.getAction().equals(BOOT_ACTION)) {
   Intent firstActivityIntent = new Intent(arg0, MainActivity.class);
   firstActivityIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
   arg0.startActivity(firstActivityIntent);
  }
 }

}

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

 

     <receiver android:name="com.example.autoinittest.BootBroadcastReceiver" >
            <intent-filter >
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
