Android一些关键函数和类的分析-startActivity

在Android的Intent启动Activity的过程中，我们会用到startActivity

一、首先调用Activity.startActivity的实现

    @Override
    public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
        startActivity(intent, null);
    }

    @Override
    public void startActivity(Intent intent, Bundle options) {
        if (options != null) {
            startActivityForResult(intent, -1, options);
        } else {
            // Note we want to go through this call for compatibility with
            // applications that may have overridden the method.
            startActivityForResult(intent, -1);
        }
    }

跟踪代码可以知道无论startActivity的具体实现还是startActivityForResult();的实现最终都调用到了

    public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
        if (mParent == null) {
            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;
            }
        } 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);
            }
        }
    }

我们发现很多函数的实现都是调用的Instrumentation这个类

/**
 * Base class for implementing application instrumentation code.  When running
 * with instrumentation turned on, this class will be instantiated for you
 * before any of the application code, allowing you to monitor all of the
 * interaction the system has with the application.  An Instrumentation
 * implementation is described to the system through an AndroidManifest.xml's
 * <instrumentation> tag.
 */

这个类中保存了一个列表

 private List<ActivityMonitor> mActivityMonitors;记录着当前在运行的Activity的Monitor

我们分析下

    public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
        Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Fragment target,
        Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
        IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
        if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
            synchronized (mSync) {
                final int N = mActivityMonitors.size();
                for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
                    final ActivityMonitor am = mActivityMonitors.get(i);
                    if (am.match(who, null, intent)) {
                        am.mHits++;
                        if (am.isBlocking()) {
                            return requestCode >= 0 ? am.getResult() : null;
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        try {
            intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
            intent.prepareToLeaveProcess();
            int result = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
                .startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
                        intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
                        token, target != null ? target.mWho : null,
                        requestCode, 0, null, null, options);
            checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
        } catch (RemoteException e) {
        }
        return null;
    }

1.将intent作为参数传给每一个ActivityMonitor的match函数判断要启动的Activity是否已经存在

2.如果已经存在，就继续判断这个当前Activity是否允许或能够启动

        /**
         * Check whether this monitor blocks activity starts (not allowing the 
         * actual activity to run) or allows them to execute normally. 
         */
        public final boolean isBlocking() {
            return mBlock;
        }

3. 如果允许已存在且能够被启动，那么就不需要启动了，返回。

4. 如果不能被启动，那么再调用ActivityManagerNative的startActivity去启动一个Activity。

二、调用到ActivityManagerNative中的startActivity

    public int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage, Intent intent,
            String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
            int startFlags, String profileFile,
            ParcelFileDescriptor profileFd, Bundle options) throws RemoteException {
        Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
        Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain();
        data.writeInterfaceToken(IActivityManager.descriptor);
        data.writeStrongBinder(caller != null ? caller.asBinder() : null);
        data.writeString(callingPackage);
        intent.writeToParcel(data, 0);
        data.writeString(resolvedType);
        data.writeStrongBinder(resultTo);
        data.writeString(resultWho);
        data.writeInt(requestCode);
        data.writeInt(startFlags);
        data.writeString(profileFile);
        if (profileFd != null) {
            data.writeInt(1);
            profileFd.writeToParcel(data, Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE);
        } else {
            data.writeInt(0);
        }
        if (options != null) {
            data.writeInt(1);
            options.writeToParcel(data, 0);
        } else {
            data.writeInt(0);
        }
        mRemote.transact(START_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);
        reply.readException();
        int result = reply.readInt();
        reply.recycle();
        data.recycle();
        return result;
    }

这个可能看起来很奇怪，是什么东西，前面都是在将参数填充成一个data，重点在

        mRemote.transact(START_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);
        reply.readException();
        int result = reply.readInt();
        reply.recycle();
        data.recycle();

其实mRemote就是一个Bundle，这里的代码目的是通过Bundle机制调用到 ActivityManagerService进行startActivity的具体实现。

三、最后通过ActivityManagerService去操纵ActivityStack

    public final int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
            Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo,
            String resultWho, int requestCode, int startFlags,
            String profileFile, ParcelFileDescriptor profileFd, Bundle options) {
        return startActivityAsUser(caller, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType, resultTo,
                resultWho, requestCode,
                startFlags, profileFile, profileFd, options, UserHandle.getCallingUserId());
    }

  public final int startActivityAsUser(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
            Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo,
            String resultWho, int requestCode, int startFlags,
            String profileFile, ParcelFileDescriptor profileFd, Bundle options, int userId) {
        enforceNotIsolatedCaller("startActivity");
        userId = handleIncomingUser(Binder.getCallingPid(), Binder.getCallingUid(), userId,
                false, true, "startActivity", null);
        return mMainStack.startActivityMayWait(caller, -1, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType,
                resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profileFile, profileFd,
                null, null, options, userId);
    }

这样就基本完成了一个startActivity的过程。

（再跟下去就是ActivityStack.startActivityMayWait中对Activity栈的操作了

ActivityManager的Bundler机制可以参考前面写的一篇博文：Framework中的Proxy-Stub模式）
