实际上，分析过很多次Activity启动流程，每次分析完成后很快就忘记了，网上也有很多博客写的很优秀，但是对我而言总是少了点什么，于是这篇博客决定在Android 9.0源码基础上梳理一次Activity启动流程，这里提供一个在线查看Android源码的地址AndroidXRef
1、启动请求Activity
我们通常通过startActivity来启动一个Activity
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
this.startActivity(intent, null);
}
但是最终都会调用到以下startActivityForResult方法
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode,
@Nullable Bundle options) {
if (mParent == null) {
options = transferSpringboardActivityOptions(options);
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
intent, requestCode, options);
if (ar != null) {
mMainThread.sendActivityResult(
mToken, mEmbeddedID, requestCode, ar.getResultCode(),
ar.getResultData());
}
if (requestCode >= 0) {
// If this start is requesting a result, we can avoid making
// the activity visible until the result is received. Setting
// this code during onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) or onResume() will keep the
// activity hidden during this time, to avoid flickering.
// This can only be done when a result is requested because
// that guarantees we will get information back when the
// activity is finished, no matter what happens to it.
mStartedActivity = true;
}
cancelInputsAndStartExitTransition(options);
// TODO Consider clearing/flushing other event sources and events for child windows.
} else {
if (options != null) {
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this method for compatibility with
// existing applications that may have overridden it.
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode);
}
}
}
对于第一次启动的Activity，mParent为空，会通过调用mInstrumentation.execStartActivity方法来启动
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
...
try {
intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(who);
int result = ActivityManager.getService()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failure from system", e);
}
return null;
}
这里，可知后面会通过ActivityManagerService服务的startActivity来启动
对应的Activity，AcivityManagerService（AWS）是一个Binder服务，它负责管理主要负责系统中四大组件的启动、切换、调度及应用程序的管理和调度等工作。需要说明的是AWS和我们的应用并不在一个进程中，所以这里的binder通信是夸进程的，同时binder操作是一个阻塞操作，也就是这里需要AWS执行完startActivity后，这里后面的代码才会继续执行
2、AWS接收处理启动请求
启动Activity的请求会通过ActivityManager.getService()获取AWS启动AWS的startActivity方法
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
@Override
public final int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions) {
return startActivityAsUser(caller, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType, resultTo,
resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profilerInfo, bOptions,
UserHandle.getCallingUserId());
}
@Override
public final int startActivityAsUser(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions, int userId) {
return startActivityAsUser(caller, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType, resultTo,
resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profilerInfo, bOptions, userId,
true /*validateIncomingUser*/);
}
public final int startActivityAsUser(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions, int userId,
boolean validateIncomingUser) {
enforceNotIsolatedCaller("startActivity");
userId = mActivityStartController.checkTargetUser(userId, validateIncomingUser,
Binder.getCallingPid(), Binder.getCallingUid(), "startActivityAsUser");
// TODO: Switch to user app stacks here.
return mActivityStartController.obtainStarter(intent, "startActivityAsUser")
.setCaller(caller)
.setCallingPackage(callingPackage)
.setResolvedType(resolvedType)
.setResultTo(resultTo)
.setResultWho(resultWho)
.setRequestCode(requestCode)
.setStartFlags(startFlags)
.setProfilerInfo(profilerInfo)
.setActivityOptions(bOptions)
.setMayWait(userId)
.execute();
}
AWS的startActivity方法经过多个方法调用，最终会去执行startActivityAsUser方法，在startActivityAsUser方法最后会通过ActivityStartController.obtainStarter方法获得一个包含所有启动信息的ActivityStarter对象并调用其execute方法
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java
int execute() {
try {
// TODO(b/64750076): Look into passing request directly to these methods to allow
// for transactional diffs and preprocessing.
if (mRequest.mayWait) {
return startActivityMayWait(mRequest.caller, mRequest.callingUid,
mRequest.callingPackage, mRequest.intent, mRequest.resolvedType,
mRequest.voiceSession, mRequest.voiceInteractor, mRequest.resultTo,
mRequest.resultWho, mRequest.requestCode, mRequest.startFlags,
mRequest.profilerInfo, mRequest.waitResult, mRequest.globalConfig,
mRequest.activityOptions, mRequest.ignoreTargetSecurity, mRequest.userId,
mRequest.inTask, mRequest.reason,
mRequest.allowPendingRemoteAnimationRegistryLookup);
} else {
return startActivity(mRequest.caller, mRequest.intent, mRequest.ephemeralIntent,
mRequest.resolvedType, mRequest.activityInfo, mRequest.resolveInfo,
mRequest.voiceSession, mRequest.voiceInteractor, mRequest.resultTo,
mRequest.resultWho, mRequest.requestCode, mRequest.callingPid,
mRequest.callingUid, mRequest.callingPackage, mRequest.realCallingPid,
mRequest.realCallingUid, mRequest.startFlags, mRequest.activityOptions,
mRequest.ignoreTargetSecurity, mRequest.componentSpecified,
mRequest.outActivity, mRequest.inTask, mRequest.reason,
mRequest.allowPendingRemoteAnimationRegistryLookup);
}
} finally {
onExecutionComplete();
}
}
因为在AWS.startActivityAsUser中调用了ActivityStarter.setMayWait方法，所以这里 mRequest.mayWait值为true，会去调用startActivityMayWait方法
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java
private int startActivityMayWait(IApplicationThread caller, int callingUid,
String callingPackage, Intent intent, String resolvedType,
IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode, int startFlags,
ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, WaitResult outResult,
Configuration globalConfig, SafeActivityOptions options, boolean ignoreTargetSecurity,
int userId, TaskRecord inTask, String reason,
boolean allowPendingRemoteAnimationRegistryLookup) {
...
int res = startActivity(caller, intent, ephemeralIntent, resolvedType, aInfo, rInfo,
voiceSession, voiceInteractor, resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, callingPid,
callingUid, callingPackage, realCallingPid, realCallingUid, startFlags, options,
ignoreTargetSecurity, componentSpecified, outRecord, inTask, reason,
allowPendingRemoteAnimationRegistryLookup);
...
return res;
}
}
...
private int startActivity(final ActivityRecord r, ActivityRecord sourceRecord,
IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
int startFlags, boolean doResume, ActivityOptions options, TaskRecord inTask,
ActivityRecord[] outActivity) {
...
result = startActivityUnchecked(r, sourceRecord, voiceSession, voiceInteractor,
startFlags, doResume, options, inTask, outActivity);
...
postStartActivityProcessing(r, result, mTargetStack);
return result;
}
跟着代码流程执行到startActivityUnchecked方法
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java
private int startActivityUnchecked(final ActivityRecord r, ActivityRecord sourceRecord,
IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
int startFlags, boolean doResume, ActivityOptions options, TaskRecord inTask,
ActivityRecord[] outActivity) {
...
ActivityRecord reusedActivity = getReusableIntentActivity();
...
if (reusedActivity != null) {

// still needs to be a lock task mode violation since the task gets cleared out and

mStartActivity.setTask(reusedActivity.getTask());
}
if (reusedActivity.getTask().intent == null) {
// This task was started because of movement of the activity based on affinity...

}

}
startActivityUnchecked这个方法里会根据启动标志位和Activity启动模式来决定如何启动一个Activity以及是否要调用deliverNewIntent方法通知Activity有一个Intent试图重新启动它，这里就不详细展开说明，只看主要流程，不论以何种启动模式启动，最终都会调用ActivityStackSupervisor.resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked方法
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
boolean resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked(
ActivityStack targetStack, ActivityRecord target, ActivityOptions targetOptions) {
...
if (targetStack != null && isFocusedStack(targetStack)) {
return targetStack.resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(target, targetOptions);
}
final ActivityRecord r = mFocusedStack.topRunningActivityLocked();
if (r == null || !r.isState(RESUMED)) {
mFocusedStack.resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(null, null);
} else if (r.isState(RESUMED)) {
// Kick off any lingering app transitions form the MoveTaskToFront operation.
mFocusedStack.executeAppTransition(targetOptions);
}
...
return false;
}
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java
boolean resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {
...
result = resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(prev, options);
...
return result;
}
private boolean resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {
...
boolean pausing = mStackSupervisor.pauseBackStacks(userLeaving, next, false);
if (mResumedActivity != null) {
pausing |= startPausingLocked(userLeaving, false, next, false);
}
...
mStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked(next, true, true);
...
return true;
}
在ActivityStack.resumeTopActivityInnerLocked方法中会去判断是否有Activity处于Resume状态，如果有的话会先让这个Activity执行Pausing过程，然后再执行startSpecificActivityLocked方法启动要启动Activity，从这里可以看出我们启动一个新的Activity会先去执行Resume状态Activity的onPause方法，故不应该在onPause方法中加入耗时操作，这会增加新Activity的启动时间，这里的Pausing过程我们跳过，直接看如何启动新的Activity
3、新Activity所在进程的启动过程
面分析到ActivityStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked方法，在这个方法中会去根据进程和线程是否存在判断App是否已经启动，如果已经启动，就会调用realStartActivityLocked方法继续处理。如果没有启动则调用ActivityManagerService.startProcessLocked方法创建新的进程处理
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
void startSpecificActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r,
boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) {
// Is this activity's application already running?
ProcessRecord app = mService.getProcessRecordLocked(r.processName,
r.info.applicationInfo.uid, true);
...
if (app != null && app.thread != null) {
...
realStartActivityLocked(r, app, andResume, checkConfig);
return;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Exception when starting activity "
+ r.intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString(), e);
}
}
mService.startProcessLocked(r.processName, r.info.applicationInfo, true, 0,
"activity", r.intent.getComponent(), false, false, true);
}
ActivityManagerService.startProcessLocked方法经过多次跳转最终会通过Process.start方法来为应用创建进程
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
private ProcessStartResult startProcess(String hostingType, String entryPoint,
ProcessRecord app, int uid, int[] gids, int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
String seInfo, String requiredAbi, String instructionSet, String invokeWith,
long startTime) {
...
startResult = Process.start(entryPoint,
app.processName, uid, uid, gids, runtimeFlags, mountExternal,
app.info.targetSdkVersion, seInfo, requiredAbi, instructionSet,
app.info.dataDir, invokeWith,
new String[] {PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT + app.startSeq});
...
}
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Process.java
public static final ProcessStartResult start(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
int uid, int gid, int[] gids,
int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String invokeWith,
String[] zygoteArgs) {
return zygoteProcess.start(processClass, niceName, uid, gid, gids,
runtimeFlags, mountExternal, targetSdkVersion, seInfo,
abi, instructionSet, appDataDir, invokeWith, zygoteArgs);
}
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/ZygoteProcess.java
public final Process.ProcessStartResult start(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
int uid, int gid, int[] gids,
int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String invokeWith,
String[] zygoteArgs) {
try {
return startViaZygote(processClass, niceName, uid, gid, gids,
runtimeFlags, mountExternal, targetSdkVersion, seInfo,
abi, instructionSet, appDataDir, invokeWith, false /* startChildZygote */,
zygoteArgs);
} catch (ZygoteStartFailedEx ex) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG,
"Starting VM process through Zygote failed");
throw new RuntimeException(
"Starting VM process through Zygote failed", ex);
}
}
到这里有一个startViaZygote方法，从这个方法名可知，我们要通过zygote进程来启动一个新的App进程
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/ZygoteProcess.java
private Process.ProcessStartResult startViaZygote(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
final int uid, final int gid,
final int[] gids,
int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String invokeWith,
boolean startChildZygote,
String[] extraArgs)
throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
...
synchronized(mLock) {
return zygoteSendArgsAndGetResult(openZygoteSocketIfNeeded(abi), argsForZygote);
}
}
这里这里有两个方法，一是openZygoteSocketIfNeeded
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/ZygoteProcess.java
private ZygoteState openZygoteSocketIfNeeded(String abi) throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
Preconditions.checkState(Thread.holdsLock(mLock), "ZygoteProcess lock not held");
if (primaryZygoteState == null || primaryZygoteState.isClosed()) {
try {
primaryZygoteState = ZygoteState.connect(mSocket);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Error connecting to primary zygote", ioe);
}
maybeSetApiBlacklistExemptions(primaryZygoteState, false);
maybeSetHiddenApiAccessLogSampleRate(primaryZygoteState);
}
if (primaryZygoteState.matches(abi)) {
return primaryZygoteState;
}
// The primary zygote didn't match. Try the secondary.
if (secondaryZygoteState == null || secondaryZygoteState.isClosed()) {
try {
secondaryZygoteState = ZygoteState.connect(mSecondarySocket);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Error connecting to secondary zygote", ioe);
}
maybeSetApiBlacklistExemptions(secondaryZygoteState, false);
maybeSetHiddenApiAccessLogSampleRate(secondaryZygoteState);
}
if (secondaryZygoteState.matches(abi)) {
return secondaryZygoteState;
}
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Unsupported zygote ABI: " + abi);
}
openZygoteSocketIfNeeded这个方法通过Socket通信方式建立了与zygote的进程的连接，方便与zygote进程的通信，而实际的通信是在
zygoteSendArgsAndGetResult方法中完成的
@GuardedBy("mLock")
private static Process.ProcessStartResult zygoteSendArgsAndGetResult(
ZygoteState zygoteState, ArrayList<String> args)
throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
try {
...
final BufferedWriter writer = zygoteState.writer;
final DataInputStream inputStream = zygoteState.inputStream;
writer.write(Integer.toString(args.size()));
writer.newLine();
for (int i = 0; i < sz; i++) {
String arg = args.get(i);
writer.write(arg);
writer.newLine();
}
writer.flush();
...
return result;
} catch (IOException ex) {
zygoteState.close();
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx(ex);
}
}
而zygote进程在接收到数据后，会fork出一个新的进程，并根据传递的”android.app.ActivityThread”字符串，反射出该对象并执行ActivityThread的main方法对其进行初始化，详细的执行过程可以查看
从源码解析-Android中Zygote进程是如何fork一个APP进程的这篇文章
4、Activity所在应用主线程中的启动过程
上面提到zygote新建了一个进行并开始执行ActivityThread的main方法，在ActivityThread.main方法中对ActivityThread进行了初始化，创建了主线程的Looper对象并调用Looper.loop()方法启动Looper，把自定义Handler类H的对象作为主线程的handler
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");
...
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
// Find the value for {@link #PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT} if provided on the command line.
// It will be in the format "seq=114"
long startSeq = 0;
if (args != null) {
for (int i = args.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
if (args[i] != null && args[i].startsWith(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT)) {
startSeq = Long.parseLong(
args[i].substring(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT.length()));
}
}
}
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false, startSeq);
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
...
Looper.loop();
...
}
然后跳转到ActivityThread.attach方法
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
private void attach(boolean system, long startSeq) {
sCurrentActivityThread = this;
mSystemThread = system;
if (!system) {
...
final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManager.getService();
try {
mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread, startSeq);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
// Watch for getting close to heap limit.
BinderInternal.addGcWatcher(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {
if (!mSomeActivitiesChanged) {
return;
}
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
long dalvikMax = runtime.maxMemory();
long dalvikUsed = runtime.totalMemory() - runtime.freeMemory();
if (dalvikUsed > ((3*dalvikMax)/4)) {
mSomeActivitiesChanged = false;
try {
mgr.releaseSomeActivities(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw e.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
}
});
}
...
ViewRootImpl.addConfigCallback(configChangedCallback);
}
在ActivityThread.attach方法中，首先会通过ActivityManagerService为这个应用绑定一个Application，然后添加一个垃圾回收观察者，每当系统触发垃圾回收的时候就会在run方法里面去计算应用使用了多少内存，如果超过总量的四分之三就会尝试释放内存。最后，为根View添加config回调接收config变化相关的信息，在attach方法中会调用AWS.attachApplication
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
@Override
public final void attachApplication(IApplicationThread thread, long startSeq) {
synchronized (this) {
int callingPid = Binder.getCallingPid();
final int callingUid = Binder.getCallingUid();
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
attachApplicationLocked(thread, callingPid, callingUid, startSeq);
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
}
private final boolean attachApplicationLocked(IApplicationThread thread,
int pid, int callingUid, long startSeq) {
...
// See if the top visible activity is waiting to run in this process...
if (normalMode) {
try {
if (mStackSupervisor.attachApplicationLocked(app)) {
didSomething = true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Slog.wtf(TAG, "Exception thrown launching activities in " + app, e);
badApp = true;
}
}
...
}
在ActivityManagerService.attachApplication方法中经过多次跳转执行到ActivityStackSupervisor.realStartActivityLocked方法
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
boolean attachApplicationLocked(ProcessRecord app) throws RemoteException {
final String processName = app.processName;
boolean didSomething = false;
for (int displayNdx = mActivityDisplays.size() - 1; displayNdx >= 0; --displayNdx) {
final ActivityDisplay display = mActivityDisplays.valueAt(displayNdx);
for (int stackNdx = display.getChildCount() - 1; stackNdx >= 0; --stackNdx) {
final ActivityStack stack = display.getChildAt(stackNdx);
if (!isFocusedStack(stack)) {
continue;
}
stack.getAllRunningVisibleActivitiesLocked(mTmpActivityList);
final ActivityRecord top = stack.topRunningActivityLocked();
final int size = mTmpActivityList.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
final ActivityRecord activity = mTmpActivityList.get(i);
if (activity.app == null && app.uid == activity.info.applicationInfo.uid
&& processName.equals(activity.processName)) {
try {
if (realStartActivityLocked(activity, app,
top == activity /* andResume */, true /* checkConfig */)) {
didSomething = true;
}
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Exception in new application when starting activity "
+ top.intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString(), e);
throw e;
}
}
}
}
}
if (!didSomething) {
ensureActivitiesVisibleLocked(null, 0, !PRESERVE_WINDOWS);
}
return didSomething;
}
ActivityStackSupervisor.realStartActivityLocked方法中为ClientTransaction对象添加LaunchActivityItem的callback，然后设置当前的生命周期状态，最后调用ClientLifecycleManager.scheduleTransaction方法执行
//frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
final boolean realStartActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r, ProcessRecord app,
boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) throws RemoteException {
...
// Create activity launch transaction.
final ClientTransaction clientTransaction = ClientTransaction.obtain(app.thread,
r.appToken);
clientTransaction.addCallback(LaunchActivityItem.obtain(new Intent(r.intent),
System.identityHashCode(r), r.info,
// TODO: Have this take the merged configuration instead of separate global
// and override configs.
mergedConfiguration.getGlobalConfiguration(),
mergedConfiguration.getOverrideConfiguration(), r.compat,
r.launchedFromPackage, task.voiceInteractor, app.repProcState, r.icicle,
r.persistentState, results, newIntents, mService.isNextTransitionForward(),
profilerInfo));
// Set desired final state.
final ActivityLifecycleItem lifecycleItem;
if (andResume) {
lifecycleItem = ResumeActivityItem.obtain(mService.isNextTransitionForward());
} else {
lifecycleItem = PauseActivityItem.obtain();
}
clientTransaction.setLifecycleStateRequest(lifecycleItem);
// Schedule transaction.
mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction);
...
return true;
}
这里的mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction方法最后通过binder通信还是会调用到ApplicationThread的scheduleTransaction方法
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
@Override
public void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) throws RemoteException {
ActivityThread.this.scheduleTransaction(transaction);
}
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ClientTransactionHandler.java
void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) {
transaction.preExecute(this);
sendMessage(ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION, transaction);
}
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/TransactionExecutor.java
public void execute(ClientTransaction transaction) {
final IBinder token = transaction.getActivityToken();
log("Start resolving transaction for client: " + mTransactionHandler + ", token: " + token);
executeCallbacks(transaction);
executeLifecycleState(transaction);
mPendingActions.clear();
log("End resolving transaction");
}
然后这里出现executeCallbacks方法，这个方法最终会调用以下方法，有点绕但是从realStartActivityLocked中去分析还是容易的
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/LuanchActivityItem.java
@Override
public void execute(ClientTransactionHandler client, IBinder token,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
Trace.traceBegin(TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "activityStart");
ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord(token, mIntent, mIdent, mInfo,
mOverrideConfig, mCompatInfo, mReferrer, mVoiceInteractor, mState, mPersistentState,
mPendingResults, mPendingNewIntents, mIsForward,
mProfilerInfo, client);
client.handleLaunchActivity(r, pendingActions, null /* customIntent */);
Trace.traceEnd(TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
}
接着还是会通过binder中调用ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity,ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity,在ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity方法中首先对Activity的ComponentName、ContextImpl、Activity以及Application对象进行了初始化并相互关联，然后设置Activity主题，最后调用Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate方法
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
public Activity handleLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions, Intent customIntent) {
...
final Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);
...
return a;
}
private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
// 初始化ComponentName
ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent();
if (component == null) {
component = r.intent.resolveActivity(
mInitialApplication.getPackageManager());
r.intent.setComponent(component);
}
if (r.activityInfo.targetActivity != null) {
component = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName,
r.activityInfo.targetActivity);
}
// 初始化ContextImpl和Activity
ContextImpl appContext = createBaseContextForActivity(r);
Activity activity = null;
try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = appContext.getClassLoader();
activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity(
cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);
StrictMode.incrementExpectedActivityCount(activity.getClass());
r.intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl);
r.intent.prepareToEnterProcess();
if (r.state != null) {
r.state.setClassLoader(cl);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to instantiate activity " + component
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
try {
// 初始化Application
Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);
if (activity != null) {
CharSequence title = r.activityInfo.loadLabel(appContext.getPackageManager());
Configuration config = new Configuration(mCompatConfiguration);
if (r.overrideConfig != null) {
config.updateFrom(r.overrideConfig);
}
Window window = null;
if (r.mPendingRemoveWindow != null && r.mPreserveWindow) {
window = r.mPendingRemoveWindow;
r.mPendingRemoveWindow = null;
r.mPendingRemoveWindowManager = null;
}
// Application、Activity和ContextImpl互相关联
appContext.setOuterContext(activity);
activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token,
r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent,
r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstances, config,
r.referrer, r.voiceInteractor, window, r.configCallback);
if (customIntent != null) {
activity.mIntent = customIntent;
}
r.lastNonConfigurationInstances = null;
checkAndBlockForNetworkAccess();
activity.mStartedActivity = false;
// 设置Activity的Theme
int theme = r.activityInfo.getThemeResource();
if (theme != 0) {
activity.setTheme(theme);
}
activity.mCalled = false;
if (r.isPersistable()) {
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state, r.persistentState);
} else {
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state);
}
if (!activity.mCalled) {
throw new SuperNotCalledException(
"Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() +
" did not call through to super.onCreate()");
}
r.activity = activity;
}
r.setState(ON_CREATE);
mActivities.put(r.token, r);
} catch (SuperNotCalledException e) {
throw e;
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to start activity " + component
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
return activity;
}
从Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate方法继续追踪，跳转到Activity.performCreate方法，在这里我们看到了Activity.onCreate方法
//frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public void callActivityOnCreate(Activity activity, Bundle icicle,
PersistableBundle persistentState) {
...
activity.performCreate(icicle, persistentState);
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
final void performCreate(Bundle icicle) {
performCreate(icicle, null);
}
final void performCreate(Bundle icicle, PersistableBundle persistentState) {
...
if (persistentState != null) {
onCreate(icicle, persistentState);
} else {
onCreate(icicle);
}
...
}
实际上到这里为止，Activity的onCreate方法就跑起来了，而Activity就算是跑起来了，实际上Activity启动流程还有很多地方值得分析的，比如各个生命周期的执行，但是基本启动逻辑梳理出来，其它都是好分析的，本文就到此为止了
