Android开发艺术探索学习-View的事件分发机制（二）

    这节主要是透过源码来分析触摸事件是如何从Activity传递到View中。    

    当一个点击事件发生时，最先接受到事件的是Activity，由Activity的dispatchTouchEvent方法进行事件分发，该方法源码如下。

    /**
     * Called to process touch screen events.  You can override this to
     * intercept all touch screen events before they are dispatched to the
     * window.  Be sure to call this implementation for touch screen events
     * that should be handled normally.
     *
     * @param ev The touch screen event.
     *
     * @return boolean Return true if this event was consumed.
     */
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    	    /*
    	     * 在ACTION_DOWN的时候，调用onUserInteraction方法，
    	     * 这个方法的作用稍后解释 
    	     * **/
        if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            onUserInteraction();
        }
        //如果Window的superDispatchTouchEvent返回true，说明事件被消费
        //如果返回false，则由Activity自身消费，即调用其onTouchEvent方法
        if (getWindow().superDispatchTouchEvent(ev)) {
            return true;
        }
        return onTouchEvent(ev);
    }

    onUserInteraction方法我也是在这里第一次见到，读了下其方法说明，发现该方法还是挺有用处的。

/**
     * Called whenever a key, touch, or trackball event is dispatched to the
     * activity.  Implement this method if you wish to know that the user has
     * interacted with the device in some way while your activity is running.
     * This callback and {@link #onUserLeaveHint} are intended to help
     * activities manage status bar notifications intelligently; specifically,
     * for helping activities determine the proper time to cancel a notfication.
     *
     * <p>All calls to your activity's {@link #onUserLeaveHint} callback will
     * be accompanied by calls to {@link #onUserInteraction}.  This
     * ensures that your activity will be told of relevant user activity such
     * as pulling down the notification pane and touching an item there.
     *
     * <p>Note that this callback will be invoked for the touch down action
     * that begins a touch gesture, but may not be invoked for the touch-moved
     * and touch-up actions that follow.
     *
     * @see #onUserLeaveHint()
     */
    public void onUserInteraction() {
    }

    当有键盘、触摸或者轨迹球事件分发给Activity的时候，你可以知道用户是否正在交互。与其对应的还有一个回调方法onUserLeaveHint，这两个方法可以很好地帮助Activity管理状态栏上的通知，显然也可以帮助Activity在合适的时间取消通知。接着我们看下onUserLeaveHint的代码。

    /**
     * Called as part of the activity lifecycle when an activity is about to go
     * into the background as the result of user choice.  For example, when the
     * user presses the Home key, {@link #onUserLeaveHint} will be called, but
     * when an incoming phone call causes the in-call Activity to be automatically
     * brought to the foreground, {@link #onUserLeaveHint} will not be called on
     * the activity being interrupted.  In cases when it is invoked, this method
     * is called right before the activity's {@link #onPause} callback.
     *
     * <p>This callback and {@link #onUserInteraction} are intended to help
     * activities manage status bar notifications intelligently; specifically,
     * for helping activities determine the proper time to cancel a notfication.
     *
     * @see #onUserInteraction()
     */
    protected void onUserLeaveHint() {
   

    当某Activity因为用户操作进入后台，那么onUserLeaveHint将被调用并作为activity生命周期的部分。例如当用户按下home键的时候，onUserLeaveHint将被调用，但是当有来电的时候，那么in-call Activity将自动进入前台，这时onUserLeaveHint将不被调用。

    接着还是继续分析Activity的dispatchTouchEvent方法，在该方法中调用了抽象类Window的superDispatchTouchEvent方法，作用是将触屏事件继续传递到View层中，其代码如下：

    /**
     * Used by custom windows, such as Dialog, to pass the touch screen event
     * further down the view hierarchy. Application developers should
     * not need to implement or call this.
     *
     */
    public abstract boolean superDispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event);

    该方法的具体实现是在PhoneWindow类中，其代码如下：

    @Override
    public boolean superDispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        return mDecor.superDispatchTouchEvent(event);
    }

    这里，我们可以看到其调用了mDecor的superDispatchTouchEvent方法，mDecor是个啥玩意呢？

    // This is the top-level view of the window, containing the window decor.
    private DecorView mDecor;

    原来mDecor是DecorView，它是Window的顶级View，关于DecorView后续将会有分析，我们需要知道它继承自FrameLayout。DecorView的superDispatchTouchEvent方法代码如下：

        public boolean superDispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
            return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
        }

   到这里，就是调用了FrameLayout的dispatchTouchEvent方法。再往下就是正常的View事件传递过程。
