startPreview()调用细节分析一

在开发相机预览功能时，App会调用Android API函数startPreview()，在Camera.java中定义：

public native final void startPreview();

这是个native函数，会直接调用jni层的函数，在android_hardware_Camera.cpp中定义：

static void android_hardware_Camera_startPreview(JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz)
{
    ALOGV("startPreview");
    sp<Camera> camera = get_native_camera(env, thiz, NULL);
    if (camera == 0) return;

    if (camera->startPreview() != NO_ERROR) {
        jniThrowRuntimeException(env, "startPreview failed");
        return;
    }
}

sp<Camera> get_native_camera(JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz, JNICameraContext** pContext)
{
    sp<Camera> camera;
    Mutex::Autolock _l(sLock);
    JNICameraContext* context = reinterpret_cast<JNICameraContext*>(env->GetLongField(thiz, fields.context));
    if (context != NULL) {
        camera = context->getCamera();
    }
    ALOGV("get_native_camera: context=%p, camera=%p", context, camera.get());
    if (camera == 0) {
        jniThrowRuntimeException(env,
                "Camera is being used after Camera.release() was called");
    }

    if (pContext != NULL) *pContext = context;
    return camera;
}

sp<Camera> getCamera() { Mutex::Autolock _l(mLock); return mCamera; }

如上跟踪代码可以了解到，jni的startPreview()会调用C++Camera类的startPreview()，在Camera.cpp中定义：

/ start preview mode
status_t Camera::startPreview()
{
    ALOGV("startPreview");
    sp <ICamera> c = mCamera;
    if (c == 0) return NO_INIT;
    return c->startPreview();
}

下一步毫无疑问会调用ICamera类中startPreview()函数，只是ICamera对象mC
