ClassLoader 三 Android 类加载

一 前言

Android类加载同样遵循jvm虚拟机规范,不同点是class不是被类加载器直接装载,而是先被打包成dex文件,然后交由BaseDexClassLoader来完成类加载。

二 分类

BaseDexClassLoader 包含两个子类
1. DexClassLoader
2. PathClassLoader

下面分别看下对应的源码 :

package dalvik.system;

import java.io.File;

/**
 * A class loader that loads classes from {@code .jar} and {@code .apk} files
 * containing a {@code classes.dex} entry. This can be used to execute code not
 * installed as part of an application.
 *
 * <p>This class loader requires an application-private, writable directory to
 * cache optimized classes. Use {@code Context.getDir(String, int)} to create
 * such a directory: <pre>   {@code
 *   File dexOutputDir = context.getDir("dex", 0);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p><strong>Do not cache optimized classes on external storage.</strong>
 * External storage does not provide access controls necessary to protect your
 * application from code injection attacks.
 */
public class DexClassLoader extends BaseDexClassLoader {
    /**
     * Creates a {@code DexClassLoader} that finds interpreted and native
     * code.  Interpreted classes are found in a set of DEX files contained
     * in Jar or APK files.
     *
     * <p>The path lists are separated using the character specified by the
     * {@code path.separator} system property, which defaults to {@code :}.
     *
     * @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
     *     resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
     *     defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
     * @param optimizedDirectory directory where optimized dex files
     *     should be written; must not be {@code null}
     * @param libraryPath the list of directories containing native
     *     libraries, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}; may be
     *     {@code null}
     * @param parent the parent class loader
     */
    public DexClassLoader(String dexPath, String optimizedDirectory,
            String libraryPath, ClassLoader parent) {
        super(dexPath, new File(optimizedDirectory), libraryPath, parent);
    }
}
package dalvik.system;

/**
 * Provides a simple {@link ClassLoader} implementation that operates on a list
 * of files and directories in the local file system, but does not attempt to
 * load classes from the network. Android uses this class for its system class
 * loader and for its application class loader(s).
 */
public class PathClassLoader extends BaseDexClassLoader {
    /**
     * Creates a {@code PathClassLoader} that operates on a given list of files
     * and directories. This method is equivalent to calling
     * {@link #PathClassLoader(String, String, ClassLoader)} with a
     * {@code null} value for the second argument (see description there).
     *
     * @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
     * resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
     * defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
     * @param parent the parent class loader
     */
    public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, ClassLoader parent) {
        super(dexPath, null, null, parent);
    }

    /**
     * Creates a {@code PathClassLoader} that operates on two given
     * lists of files and directories. The entries of the first list
     * should be one of the following:
     *
     * <ul>
     * <li>JAR/ZIP/APK files, possibly containing a "classes.dex" file as
     * well as arbitrary resources.
     * <li>Raw ".dex" files (not inside a zip file).
     * </ul>
     *
     * The entries of the second list should be directories containing
     * native library files.
     *
     * @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
     * resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
     * defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
     * @param libraryPath the list of directories containing native
     * libraries, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}; may be
     * {@code null}
     * @param parent the parent class loader
     */
    public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, String libraryPath,
            ClassLoader parent) {
        super(dexPath, null, libraryPath, parent);
    }
}

从源码对比来看,二者只是在构造函数中传入的参数不同,最终都是通过父类BaseDexClassLoader构造方法完成初始化,代码如下:

public BaseDexClassLoader(String dexPath, File optimizedDirectory,
            String libraryPath, ClassLoader parent) {
        super(parent);
        this.pathList = new DexPathList(this, dexPath, libraryPath, optimizedDirectory);
    }

BaseDexClassLoader构造方法有四个参数:
1. dexPath dex文件存放的路径
2. optimizedDirectory 优化后的dex存放路径
3. libraryPath 动态库的存放路径
4. parent 父亲类加载器

1 3 4都好理解,2相对特别一些,也是PathClassLoader想较DexClassLoader的不同的地方,PathClassLoader传入的optimizedDirectory是null。optimizedDirectory有什么作用呢?先继续跟踪代码看下去

BaseDexClassLoader构造方法里面只执行了一句

 this.pathList = new DexPathList(this, dexPath, libraryPath, optimizedDirectory);

创建一个DexPathList对象,跟踪这个类


/**
 * A pair of lists of entries, associated with a {@code ClassLoader}.
 * One of the lists is a dex/resource path &mdash; typically referred
 * to as a "class path" &mdash; list, and the other names directories
 * containing native code libraries. Class path entries may be any of:
 * a {@code .jar} or {@code .zip} file containing an optional
 * top-level {@code classes.dex} file as well as arbitrary resources,
 * or a plain {@code .dex} file (with no possibility of associated
 * resources).
 *
 * <p>This class also contains methods to use these lists to look up
 * classes and resources.</p>
 */
/*package*/ final class DexPathList {

    /**
     * List of dex/resource (class path) elements.
     * Should be called pathElements, but the Facebook app uses reflection
     * to modify 'dexElements' (http://b/7726934).
     */
    private final Element[] dexElements;

    /** List of native library directories. */
    private final File[] nativeLibraryDirectories;

DexPathList提供以下功能:
1. dex/资源元素列表
2. 动态库文件列表
3. 提供了查找类和资源的方法

2 3 相对容易理解,主要看1,对应代码如下:

 /**
     * Makes an array of dex/resource path elements, one per element of
     * the given array.
     */
    private static Element[] makeDexElements(ArrayList<File> files, File optimizedDirectory,
                                             ArrayList<IOException> suppressedExceptions) {
        ArrayList<Element> elements = new ArrayList<Element>();
        /*
         * Open all files and load the (direct or contained) dex files
         * up front.
         */
        for (File file : files) {
            File zip = null;
            DexFile dex = null;
            String name = file.getName();

            if (name.endsWith(DEX_SUFFIX)) {
                // Raw dex file (not inside a zip/jar).
                try {
                    dex = loadDexFile(file, optimizedDirectory);
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    System.logE("Unable to load dex file: " + file, ex);
                }
            } else if (name.endsWith(APK_SUFFIX) || name.endsWith(JAR_SUFFIX)
                    || name.endsWith(ZIP_SUFFIX)) {
                zip = file;

                try {
                    dex = loadDexFile(file, optimizedDirectory);
                } catch (IOException suppressed) {
                    /*
                     * IOException might get thrown "legitimately" by the DexFile constructor if the
                     * zip file turns out to be resource-only (that is, no classes.dex file in it).
                     * Let dex == null and hang on to the exception to add to the tea-leaves for
                     * when findClass returns null.
                     */
                    suppressedExceptions.add(suppressed);
                }
            } else if (file.isDirectory()) {
                // We support directories for looking up resources.
                // This is only useful for running libcore tests.
                elements.add(new Element(file, true, null, null));
            } else {
                System.logW("Unknown file type for: " + file);
            }

            if ((zip != null) || (dex != null)) {
                elements.add(new Element(file, false, zip, dex));
            }
        }

        return elements.toArray(new Element[elements.size()]);
    }

该方法主要目标是创建一个dexfile,然后转换成element数组。下面来看dexfile的加载

 /**
     * Constructs a {@code DexFile} instance, as appropriate depending
     * on whether {@code optimizedDirectory} is {@code null}.
     */
    private static DexFile loadDexFile(File file, File optimizedDirectory)
            throws IOException {
        if (optimizedDirectory == null) {
            return new DexFile(file);
        } else {
            String optimizedPath = optimizedPathFor(file, optimizedDirectory);
            return DexFile.loadDex(file.getPath(), optimizedPath, 0);
        }
    }

根据optimizedDirectory是否为null,分别创建不同的DexFile对象。

现在回头来看optimizedDirectory的作用。一个apk文件在安卓设备上有两种存在状态,一种是已经安装了,一种是作为普通文件存放在sdcard上面。apk安装以后会在/data/目录生成一些文件,比如:

/data/app 存放了apk文件

/data/data 存放apk运行过程生成的一些缓存文件

/data/dalvik-cache 存放apk里面的dex文件

因此,假如apk已经安装了,那么jvm加载dex的时候无须指定optimizedDirectory,只需要到/data/dalvik-cache来查找就行了,因此这种情况可以使用PathClassLoader。反之,apk没有安装,那么在加载apk文件的时候需要将zip包里面的dex文件解压出来,存放到一个内部目录供后续jvm加载,这也就是optimizedDirectory的存在意义。

三 总结

至此,通过源码跟踪大致了解了android类加载机制的组成。主要是由BaseDexClassLoader来处理,根据apk是否安装到了设备上面又分为两种类加载器:DexClassLoader和PathClassLoader。

后面可以对DexClassLoader进一步学习,看看它是怎么如何在热修复上发挥重要作用的。
