Android Process Information

  

本文描述了android启动之后的系统进程列表，并从log的角度来初步分析一下zygote进程的启动过程.

1 Process list:

  用PS可以得到进程列表，现就最主要的一些进程作一个简单的介绍：

USER     PID   PPID  VSIZE RSS   WCHAN    PC         NAME

root     1     0     548   196   c00b8c14 0000d5cc S /init

......

app_11   1183  734   122672 23576 ffffffff afe0d404 S com.android.browser

app_6    1199  734   117032 20388 ffffffff afe0d404 S oms.mobilemusic

system   1244  734   99292 15940 ffffffff afe0d404 S com.android.settings
......

      正如linux系统一样，第一个启动的进程当然是init进程了，init的父进程id是0，即kenel。init进程是第一个用户空间进程，它又派生了许多进程，其中就包括Android中的zygote进程。

    另外，从以上进程列表可以看出，所有应用层的进程都是zygote 的子进程，事实上，jvm的初始化就是从zygote开始的，zygote是init的子进程，zygote是通过init.rc中启动的。

    logcat：用于android log的管理。我们用locat命令的时候，其实最终就是需要这个logcat进程去实现的。

    system_server：父类是zygote，我们通常所说的Android Framwork其实就是和这个system_server密切对应的。许多系统服务都是运行在这个进程中的。

我们再从以下的启动log 中来理解一下android的启动过程，包括runtime：

从log 中也可以看出：

1. 在zygote启动之后，GC在不停地进行垃圾回收;

2. Framework中的组件都是在SystemServer初始化的，这一点，从android的源码也能看出来;

3. 在启动的时候，load了许多常用的类，包括但不限于libmedia_jni.so,libandroid_servers.so...

4. 最后是启动应用层的组件.
