Android layer type与WebView白屏以及WebView不随动画而动的问题

转自：http://blog.csdn.net/a345017062/article/details/7478667

问题：WebView白屏（有数据）

报错：[ERROR:in_process_view_renderer.cc(189)] Failed to request GL process. Deadlock likely: 0

解决：WebView设置setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE,null)

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
            setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
        }

分析：WebView继承View，View中有三种layer type分别为

    /**
     * Indicates that the view does not have a layer.
     *
     * @see #getLayerType()
     * @see #setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint)
     * @see #LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE
     * @see #LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE
     */
    public static final int LAYER_TYPE_NONE = 0;

    /**
     * <p>Indicates that the view has a software layer. A software layer is backed
     * by a bitmap and causes the view to be rendered using Android's software
     * rendering pipeline, even if hardware acceleration is enabled.</p>
     *
     * <p>Software layers have various usages:</p>
     * <p>When the application is not using hardware acceleration, a software layer
     * is useful to apply a specific color filter and/or blending mode and/or

     * <p>Software layers should be avoided when the affected view tree updates
     * often. Every update will require to re-render the software layer, which can
     * potentially be slow (particularly when hardware acceleration is turned on

     * update.)</p>

LAYER_TYPE_NONE：表明视图没有多余渲染层。

LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE：表明视图有一个软件渲染层。无论是否开启硬件加速，都会有一张Bitmap（software layer），并在上面对WebView进行渲染。

好处：在进行动画，使用software可以只画一次View树，很省。

什么时候不要用：

View树经常更新时不要用。尤其是在硬件加速打开时，每次更新消耗的时间更多。因为渲染完这张Bitmap后还需要再把这张Bitmap渲染到hardware layer上面去。

LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE：

表明视图有一个硬件渲染层。硬件加速关闭时，作用同software。硬件加速打开时会在FBO（Framebuffer Object）上做渲染，在进行动画时，View树也只需要画一次。

两者区别：

1.一个是渲染到Bitmap，一个是渲染到FB上。

2.hardware可能会有一些操作不支持（出现白屏）

两者相同：

都是开了一个buffer，把View画到这个buffer上面去。

PS：GLSurfaceView和WebView默认LayerType都是NONE。

GLSurfaceView：给GLSurfaceView设置为software或者hardware后，发现什么也画不出来了。得出结论：GLSurfaceView的LayerType只能是NONE。

WebView：

以前使用WebView时碰到过一个问题，如果在WebView上面使用Animation，WebView的绘画区域不动。当时的解决方案是在进行动画之前对WebView进行截屏（drawingcache）。按上面的道理试了一下，设置一个hardware或者software的layer就OK了。

现在又碰到了另外一个问题，打开硬件加速后，在一些机器上面（我的是3.2及HTC 4.4）WebView有时会出现某一块区域白屏的问题。默认的LayerType是NONE，改为hardware也不行，设置为software就解决了。当然关闭硬件加速也好了，可是那样的话程序整体就比较慢了。所以最终方案是整体硬件加速，出问题的WebView设置software。

补充1：

加上这一句，可以让3D的绘制更快一些：getHolder().setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_HARDWARE);

补充2:

问题：

在硬件加速开启的情况下GLSurfaceView一旦被从View树上摘下来，会使整个窗口背景变黑，即使设置LayerType为software也不管用。

经过两天的排查，发现了原因，我的程序是在C层由drawFrame（属于GLThread线程）来驱动进行绘画，当时GLSurfaceView被摘下来时，GLSurfaceView的destroy方法被调用，我在destory方法（属于UI线程）中直接调用了GLThread线程的结束方法。而GLSurfaceView.creat, sizeChanged,destroyed在UI线程，Render.create,sizeChanged,drawFrame在GLThread线程。因此，出现了UI线程直接调用GLThread线程的方法问题。最终通过GLSurfaceView.queueEvent向GLThread线程发送Runnable，问题得到解决。

看来，还是软渲染的容错能力比较强，一开硬件加速，底层就比较脆弱了。

结论：一定要搞清楚哪个是UI线程，哪个是GLThread线程。

补充以上寻找问题过程中发现的知识点：

hardware acclerator是对整个窗口进行加速，在硬件加速打开时View.isHardwareAcclerator返回true。但每个View可能被渲染到的Canvas是不同的，比如View可能被通过setLayer设置layer，这时，Canvas.isHardwareAccelerator返回false

Android提供了三种硬件加速是否开启的控制级别，分别是Application,Activity,Window,View。这个可以参考DevGuide。
