系统存在多个Launcher时，设置默认的Launcher

当系统存在多个Launcher时，开机完成并解锁后，系统会弹出一个选择框让用户选择
进入哪一个Launcher，如果不想选择，而是想直接进入某一个默认的Launcher，并且

用户在设置->应用程序->管理应用程序->所有应用程序列表，找到之前设置的那个默

认的Launcher，并且取消了默认值，可以重新弹出launcher选框。

设置默认的Launcher

找到平台相关下的.mk文件,即进程初始化的文件

搜索到如下属性，即指定的默认的launcher

    ro.sw.defaultlauncherpackage=packagename \
    ro.sw.defaultlauncherclass=packageClass  \

下面看看该代码的逻辑部分:

在源码中，找到android\frameworks\base\services\java\com\android\server\am该目录下的 ActivityManagerService.java。

在startHomeActivityLocked方法中，会看到  setDefaultLauncher(userId);  顾名思义是设置默认的launcher,

如果没有，则在startHomeActivityLocked方式开头处添加setsetDefaultLauncher函数。

下面看看此函数的面目:

	private void setDefaultLauncher(int userId)
	{
	    // get default component
	    String  packageName = SystemProperties.get("ro.sw.defaultlauncherpackage", "no");
	    String  className = SystemProperties.get("ro.sw.defaultlauncherclass", "no");
	    Slog.i(TAG, "default packageName = " + packageName + ", default className = " + className);
	    if(!packageName.equals("no") && !className.equals("no")){
	        boolean firstLaunch = SystemProperties.getBoolean("persist.sys.sw.firstLaunch", true);
	        Slog.d(TAG, "firstLaunch = " + firstLaunch);
	        if(firstLaunch){
	            mFirstLaunch = true;
                // do this only for the first boot 
                //SystemProperties.set("persist.sys.sw.firstLaunch", "false");
            }
            Slog.d(TAG, "mFirstLaunch = " + mFirstLaunch);
	        if(mFirstLaunch){
        		IPackageManager pm = ActivityThread.getPackageManager();
                
                //clear the current preferred launcher
        		ArrayList<IntentFilter> intentList = new ArrayList<IntentFilter>();
        		ArrayList<ComponentName> cnList = new ArrayList<ComponentName>();
        		mContext.getPackageManager().getPreferredActivities(intentList, cnList, null);
        		IntentFilter dhIF;
        		for(int i = 0; i < cnList.size(); i++)
        		{
        			dhIF = intentList.get(i);
        			if(dhIF.hasAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN) &&
        			dhIF.hasCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME)) 
        			{
        				mContext.getPackageManager().clearPackagePreferredActivities(cnList.get(i).getPackageName());
        			}
        		}
                
                // get all Launcher activities
        		Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
        		intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
        		List<ResolveInfo> list = new ArrayList<ResolveInfo>();
        		try 
        		{
        			list = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent,
                        intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(mContext.getContentResolver()),
                        PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY, userId);
        		}catch (RemoteException e) {
                    throw new RuntimeException("Package manager has died", e);
                } 
                // get all components and the best match
        		IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
        		filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
        		filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
        		filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
        		
        		int N = list.size();        		
        		
          <span style="color:#FF6666;">  for(int j=(N-1);j>=0;j--){
                final ResolveInfo r = list.get(j);
                if(!r.activityInfo.packageName.equals(packageName)){
                        list.remove(j);
                        N -= 1;
                 }
            } </span>
        		
            ComponentName[] set = new ComponentName[N];
            int bestMatch = 0;
            
        	<span style="color:#FF6666;">for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        		{
        			ResolveInfo r = list.get(i);
        			set[i] = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName,
                                    r.activityInfo.name);        			
        			if(className.equals(r.activityInfo.name)){
                                     bestMatch = r.match;
                                 }
        		
        		}</span>
        		// add the default launcher as the preferred launcher
        		ComponentName launcher = new ComponentName(packageName, className);
        		try 
        		{
        			pm.clearPackagePreferredActivities(launcher.getPackageName());
        			pm.addPreferredActivity(filter, bestMatch, set, launcher, userId);
        		} catch (RemoteException e) {
                    throw new RuntimeException("Package manager has died", e);
                } 
            }
	    }
	}

增加并修改了红色部分代码, 其目的就是匹配.mk文件中指定的launcher， 若不remove掉其他安装的launcher，则系统会弹出

对话框，供用户选择，这样的话, 我们每次按home键，都会弹出对话框

以上步骤可以达到目的。

若还是无法达到目的，请使用以下方法：

请再修改 packageManagerService.java
(framework/base/services/java/com/android/server/pm/)

找到findPreferredActivity 方法

在末尾处增加如下部分代码:

if (!pa.mPref.sameSet(query, priority)) {
                        	
              if(!(intent.getAction() != null
		&& intent.getAction().equals(intent.ACTION_MAIN)
		&& intent.getCategories()!=null
		&& intent.getCategories().contains(intent.CATEGORY_HOME))){
		Slog.i(TAG, "Result set changed, dropping preferred activity"
			+ intent + " type " + resolvedType);
                //pir = mSettings.mPreferredActivities.removeFilter(pa); 前面部分有对其初始化，可忽略
                pir.removeFilter(pa);
		return null;
		}
	Slog.i(TAG,"Result set not change, not drop preferred activity special intent: "+intent);
														
       /*    
     Slog.i(TAG, "Result set changed, dropping preferred activity for "
          + intent + " type " + resolvedType);
         pir.removeFilter(pa);
         return null;

      */
                        
}

至此，问题应该是可以解决了。
