android LayoutInflater

android LayoutInflater

稍微学习了android的绘制机制，就来了解了一下android的LayoutInflater，字面意思就是布局填充，根据指定的xml布局加载布局，返回一个view。

• 想要使用它首先要获取 LayoutInflater的实例化对象
  可以通过下面两种方式获取

LayoutInflater layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);  

LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context  
        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);  

后面就可以调用里面的inflate方法加载布局

layoutInflater.inflate(resourceId, root);  

• 其实以前一直不能理解为什么xml文件和java文件能够联系起来，附上源码

public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {  
    synchronized (mConstructorArgs) {  
        final AttributeSet attrs = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);  
        mConstructorArgs[0] = mContext;  
        View result = root;  
        try {  
            int type;  
            while ((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.START_TAG &&  
                    type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {  
            }  
            if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {  
                throw new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription()  
                        + ": No start tag found!");  
            }  
            final String name = parser.getName();  
            if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {  
                if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {  
                    throw new InflateException("merge can be used only with a valid "  
                            + "ViewGroup root and attachToRoot=true");  
                }  
                rInflate(parser, root, attrs);  
            } else {  
                View temp = createViewFromTag(name, attrs);  
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = null;  
                if (root != null) {  
                    params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs);  
                    if (!attachToRoot) {  
                        temp.setLayoutParams(params);  
                    }  
                }  
                rInflate(parser, temp, attrs);  
                if (root != null && attachToRoot) {  
                    root.addView(temp, params);  
                }  
                if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {  
                    result = temp;  
                }  
            }  
        } catch (XmlPullParserException e) {  
            InflateException ex = new InflateException(e.getMessage());  
            ex.initCause(e);  
            throw ex;  
        } catch (IOException e) {  
            InflateException ex = new InflateException(  
                    parser.getPositionDescription()  
                    + ": " + e.getMessage());  
            ex.initCause(e);  
            throw ex;  
        }  
        return result;  
    }  
}  

可以发现，这里面对xml进行了pull解析，通过获取了xml中的内容进行操作，通过createViewFromTag(name, attrs)方法进行view的获取同时将成员添加入viewGroup中，同时通过rInflate(parser, root, attrs)遍历子view同时将其添加进入viewGroup，从而达到了加载布局的作用，并返回view实例，便于调用。
