作过android应用开发的同事都非常清楚,android提供了四个组件Activity、Service、BroastcastReceiver、ContentProvider,分别都有不同的作用,这也给我们的应用开发提供了非常大的帮助,因为这四大组件本身就已经处理了很多的工作,我们只需要使用它就能达到成我们的目的。今天就来看一下Service这个组件,其他三个我们就不详细分析了,基本上都是相同的道理。
大家对Serviec的理解,基本都会提到Thread,我们使用Service的地方,Thread也可以很好的完成,那为什么还要使用Service呢?这其实也就是android提供的一种机制吧,假如我们使用Thread,在Activity结束之后,而Thread的run方法逻辑还没有执行完毕,那么线程是不会结束的,这就给我们的控制带来了不便,而Service呢,首先一定要理解,Service和线程没有任何关系,Service根本就不是一条线程,而且Service的生命周期方法也是运行在当前进程的主线程上的,如果我们在Service的生命周期方法中执行耗时逻辑的话,同样也会导致ANR。它和Thread相比的话,就是可以更方便的控制,我们可以拿到它的引用,执行相关的逻辑,而Thread就不行,区别基本上就是这么简单。
好,我们本节就来看一下startService的启动过程。大家应该也都清楚,Service的启动一般有两种方式,bindService和startService,binderService的话,不会启动新进程,Service是在当前的进程中执行的,startService则会启动新的进程,和我们调用startService的地方不在同一个进程当前,这样就可以处理很多的逻辑了。我们可以在任意获取到Context上下文环境的地方调用startService,它是由ContextImpl来实现的。该方法在frameworks\base\core\java\android\app\ContextImpl.java类中,源码如下:
@Override
public ComponentName startService(Intent service) {
warnIfCallingFromSystemProcess();
return startServiceCommon(service, false, mUser);
}
它是继续调用startServiceCommon来处理的,方法源码如下:
private ComponentName startServiceCommon(Intent service, boolean requireForeground,
UserHandle user) {
try {
validateServiceIntent(service);
service.prepareToLeaveProcess(this);
ComponentName cn = ActivityManager.getService().startService(
mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), service, service.resolveTypeIfNeeded(
getContentResolver()), requireForeground,
getOpPackageName(), user.getIdentifier());
if (cn != null) {
if (cn.getPackageName().equals("!")) {
throw new SecurityException(
"Not allowed to start service " + service
+ " without permission " + cn.getClassName());
} else if (cn.getPackageName().equals("!!")) {
throw new SecurityException(
"Unable to start service " + service
+ ": " + cn.getClassName());
} else if (cn.getPackageName().equals("?")) {
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Not allowed to start service " + service + ": " + cn.getClassName());
}
}
return cn;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw e.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
它是调用ActivityManager.getService().startService,获取到AMS的binder代理对象,然后启动service,启动完成之后,对启动结果进行检查,如果返回的ComponentName中的包名非法,也就是带有!、!!、?这三个符号,则表示包名非法,那么启动失败,就会抛出异常。我们接下来通过binder进程间通信机制,进入AMS中看一下startService方法的实现逻辑。AMS类的路径为frameworks\base\services\core\java\com\android\server\am\ActivityManagerService.java,它当中的startService的方法源码如下:
@Override
public ComponentName startService(IApplicationThread caller, Intent service,
String resolvedType, boolean requireForeground, String callingPackage, int userId)
throws TransactionTooLargeException {
enforceNotIsolatedCaller("startService");
// Refuse possible leaked file descriptors
if (service != null && service.hasFileDescriptors() == true) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("File descriptors passed in Intent");
}
if (callingPackage == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("callingPackage cannot be null");
}
if (DEBUG_SERVICE) Slog.v(TAG_SERVICE,
"*** startService: " + service + " type=" + resolvedType + " fg=" + requireForeground);
synchronized (this) {
final int callingPid = Binder.getCallingPid();
final int callingUid = Binder.getCallingUid();
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
ComponentName res;
try {
res = mServices.startServiceLocked(caller, service,
resolvedType, callingPid, callingUid,
requireForeground, callingPackage, userId);
} finally {
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
return res;
}
}
该方法中也是通过调用mServices成员变量的startServiceLocked方法来启动Service的,成员变量
mServices的类型为ActiveServices,目录路径为:frameworks\base\services\core\java\com\android\server\am\ActiveServices.java,它的startServiceLocked方法的源码如下:
ComponentName startServiceLocked(IApplicationThread caller, Intent service, String resolvedType,
int callingPid, int callingUid, boolean fgRequired, String callingPackage, final int userId)
throws TransactionTooLargeException {
if (DEBUG_DELAYED_STARTS) Slog.v(TAG_SERVICE, "startService: " + service
+ " type=" + resolvedType + " args=" + service.getExtras());
final boolean callerFg;
if (caller != null) {
final ProcessRecord callerApp = mAm.getRecordForAppLocked(caller);
if (callerApp == null) {
throw new SecurityException(
"Unable to find app for caller " + caller
+ " (pid=" + callingPid
+ ") when starting service " + service);
}
callerFg = callerApp.setSchedGroup != ProcessList.SCHED_GROUP_BACKGROUND;
} else {
callerFg = true;
}
ServiceLookupResult res =
retrieveServiceLocked(service, resolvedType, callingPackage,
callingPid, callingUid, userId, true, callerFg, false);
if (res == null) {
return null;
}
if (res.record == null) {
return new ComponentName("!", res.permission != null
? res.permission : "private to package");
}
ServiceRecord r = res.record;
if (!mAm.mUserController.exists(r.userId)) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Trying to start service with non-existent user! " + r.userId);
return null;
}
// If this isn't a direct-to-foreground start, check our ability to kick off an
// arbitrary service

// In this case we are silently disabling the app, to disrupt as
// little as possible existing apps.
return null;
}

// allowed, so tell it what has happened.
UidRecord uidRec = mAm.mActiveUids.get(r.appInfo.uid);
return new ComponentName("?", "app is in background uid " + uidRec);
}
}
NeededUriGrants neededGrants = mAm.checkGrantUriPermissionFromIntentLocked(
callingUid, r.packageName, service, service.getFlags(), null, r.userId);
// If permissions need a review before any of the app components can run,
// we do not start the service and launch a review activity if the calling app
// is in the foreground passing it a pending intent to start the service when
// review is completed.
if (mAm.mPermissionReviewRequired) {
if (!requestStartTargetPermissionsReviewIfNeededLocked(r, callingPackage,
callingUid, service, callerFg, userId)) {
return null;
}
}
if (unscheduleServiceRestartLocked(r, callingUid, false)) {
if (DEBUG_SERVICE) Slog.v(TAG_SERVICE, "START SERVICE WHILE RESTART PENDING: " + r);
}
r.lastActivity = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
r.startRequested = true;
r.delayedStop = false;
r.fgRequired = fgRequired;
r.pendingStarts.add(new ServiceRecord.StartItem(r, false, r.makeNextStartId(),

boolean addToStarting = false;

&& mAm.mUserController.hasStartedUserState(r.userId)) {
