Android WindowManager窗口类型

---

从WindowManagerService角度看，一个窗口并不是Window类，而是一个View类。WindowManagerService收到用户消息后，需要把消息派发到窗口，View类本身并不能直接接收WindowManagerService传递过来的消息，真正接收用户消息的必须是IWindow类，而实现IWindow类的是ViewRoot.W类，每一个W内部都包含了一个View变量。

WmS并不介意该窗口（View）是属于哪个应用程序的，WmS会按一定的规则判断哪个窗口处于活动状态，然后把用户消息给W类，W类再把用户消息传递给内部的View变量，剩下的消息处理就由View对象完成。

WindowManager的LayoutParams中窗口类型与定义：

frameworks\base\core\java\android\view\WindowManager.java

/**

• Start of window types that represent normal application windows.

• ZMS:首个普通应用窗口

*/

public static final int FIRST_APPLICATION_WINDOW = 1;

/**

• Window type: an application window that serves as the “base” window

• of the overall application; all other application windows will

• appear on top of it.

• In multiuser systems shows only on the owning user’s window.

• ZMS:基础窗口-其他应用窗口会显示在此窗口之上

*/

public static final int TYPE_BASE_APPLICATION = 1;

/**

• Window type: a normal application window. The {@link #token} must be

• an Activity token identifying who the window belongs to.

• In multiuser systems shows only on the owning user’s window.

• ZMS:普通应用窗口-此窗口需要归属于Activity，多用户系统中仅仅在对应用户的窗口中显示

*/

public static final int TYPE_APPLICATION = 2;

/**

• Window type: special application window that is displayed while the

• application is starting. Not for use by applications themselves;

• this is used by the system to display something until the

• application can show its own windows.

• In multiuser systems shows on all users’ windows.

• ZMS:应用启动窗口-应用启动显示的窗口，不受应用本身控制。由系统在应用显示应用本身的窗口之前显示。

*/

public static final int TYPE_APPLICATION_STARTING = 3;

/**

• End of types of application windows.

• ZMS:终极应用窗口-所有Activity默认的窗口类型都是TYPE_APPLICATION，

• WindowManagerService在进行窗口叠加时，会动态改变应用窗口的层值，但不会大于99。
