ContentProvider启动
ContentProvider是一种内容共享型组件,实际上它是通过Binder向其它应用提供数据。当ContentProvider所在的进程启动时,ContentProvider会同时启动并被发布到AMS中,需要特别注意的是ContentProvider的onCreate方法要早于Application的onCreate方法执行。
废话不多说先看源码,As we all known,每个进程的入口都是ActivityThread.main
public static void main(String[] args) {
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
// CloseGuard defaults to true and can be quite spammy. We
// disable it here, but selectively enable it later (via
// StrictMode) on debug builds, but using DropBox, not logs.
CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);
Environment.initForCurrentUser();
// Set the reporter for event logging in libcore
EventLogger.setReporter(new EventLoggingReporter());
Security.addProvider(new AndroidKeyStoreProvider());
// Make sure TrustedCertificateStore looks in the right place for CA certificates
final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);
Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false);
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
AsyncTask.init();
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}
主要看attach方法
private void attach(boolean system) {
...
final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault();
try {
mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
// Ignore
}
...
}
通过前面的分析,这里一眼就可以看出IPC通信调用AMS的同名方法,接着往下看ActivityManagerService.java
@Override
public final void attachApplication(IApplicationThread thread) {
synchronized (this) {
int callingPid = Binder.getCallingPid();
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
attachApplicationLocked(thread, callingPid);
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
}
AMS.attachApplicationLocked这个方法也是很长,这里截取最关键的
private final boolean attachApplicationLocked(IApplicationThread thread,
int pid) {
...
ProfilerInfo profilerInfo = profileFile == null ? null
: new ProfilerInfo(profileFile, profileFd, samplingInterval, profileAutoStop);
thread.bindApplication(processName, appInfo, providers, app.instrumentationClass,
profilerInfo, app.instrumentationArguments, app.instrumentationWatcher,
app.instrumentationUiAutomationConnection, testMode, enableOpenGlTrace,
isRestrictedBackupMode || !normalMode, app.persistent,
new Configuration(mConfiguration), app.compat, getCommonServicesLocked(),
mCoreSettingsObserver.getCoreSettingsLocked());
updateLruProcessLocked(app, false, null);
...
}
这里又IPC通信,返回客户端处理去了
总结一下,跟ContentProvider相关的事件
1.创建ActivityThread实例,并创建消息队列
2.ActivityThread的attach方法远程调用AMS的attachApplication方法,并将ApplicationThread对象传递给AMS。
3.AMS的attachApplication方法中会调用ApplicationThread的bingApplication(IPC调用)进而通过H对象切换到ActivityThread中执行handleBindApplication方法
这个方法有200多行,这里截取了最后比较关键的部分
