PluginView creation 

How is the plugin initialized?

it's begin with the PluginView's creation

1.PluginView.create()

PassRefPtr<PluginView> PluginView::create(Frame* parentFrame, const IntSize& size,
        Element* element, const KURL& url, const Vector<String>& paramNames,
        const Vector<String>& paramValues,
        const String& mimeType, bool loadManually)

{
    ....
    PluginPackage* plugin = PluginDatabase::installedPlugins()->
      findPlugin(url, mimeTypeCopy);
    if (!plugin && PluginDatabase::installedPlugins()->refresh()) {
        mimeTypeCopy = mimeType;
        plugin = PluginDatabase::installedPlugins()->findPlugin(url, mimeTypeCopy);
    }
    return adoptRef(new PluginView(parentFrame, size, plugin, element, url, paramNames,
    paramValues, mimeTypeCopy, loadManually));

}

find plugin and pass it to PluginView's constructor.

two vector, mpath and m_pluginDirectories 

in "installedPlugins"
use default dir and set to "m_pluginDirectories"
in "refresh"
call "getPluginPathsInDirectories"
get path from "m_pluginDirectories" to "mpath"
and then use "mpath" to create "PluginPackage"
add "PinginPack" to "m_plugins"

1)first:

installedPlugins()->findPlugin()

a.installedPlugins()

find database from "m_pluginDirectories"

b.findPlugin()

find pluginpack from "PluginDatabase" using "pluginForMIMEType"

2)second

if can't refresh, and repeat

in refresh

    HashSet<String> paths;
    getPluginPathsInDirectories(paths);

a.get all PluginPath, and create PluginPack from proper path (PluginPackage::createPackage)

b.add PluginPack, to m_plugin.

2. PluginView()

PluginView::PluginView(Frame* parentFrame, const IntSize& size, PluginPackage* plugin, 
            Element* element,const KURL& url,const Vector<String>& paramNames,
        const Vector<String>& paramValues, const String& mimeType, bool loadManually)

............

3.PluginView.init()

    if (!m_plugin->load()) {
        m_plugin = 0;
        m_status = PluginStatusCanNotLoadPlugin;
        return;
    }

RefPtr<PluginPackage> m_plugin;

4.PluginPack.load()

// not defined in PluginPack.cpp, it's in PluginPackAndroid.cpp

        // Open the library
        void *handle = dlopen(m_path.utf8().data(), RTLD_NOW);
        if(!handle) {
            PLUGIN_LOG("Couldn't load plugin library \"%s\": %s\n",
                       m_path.utf8().data(), dlerror());
            return false;
        }
        .....
        NP_InitializeFuncPtr NP_Initialize;
        if(!getEntryPoint(m_module, "NP_Initialize", (void **) &NP_Initialize) || 
                !getEntryPoint(m_module, "NP_Shutdown", (void **) &m_NPP_Shutdown)) {
            PLUGIN_LOG("Couldn't find Initialize function\n");
            return false;
        }

after that we got   the function "NP_Initialize" and "NP_Shutdown" frome the .so file

and value it to "NP_Initialize" and "m_NPP_Shutdown"    

5. initialize BrowserFunctions (also called in the PluginPack.load())

void PluginPackage::initializeBrowserFuncs()
{
    memset(&m_browserFuncs, 0, sizeof(m_browserFuncs));
    m_browserFuncs.size = sizeof(m_browserFuncs);
    m_browserFuncs.version = NPVersion(); 
    .......
    m_browserFuncs.getvalueforurl = NPN_GetValueForURL;
    m_browserFuncs.setvalueforurl = NPN_SetValueForURL;
    m_browserFuncs.getauthenticationinfo = NPN_GetAuthenticationInfo;
}

 give value to    "  NPNetscapeFuncs m_browserFuncs;" ( this variable will be passed into the plugin.)

6. NP_Initialize

    if(NP_Initialize(&m_browserFuncs,
                     &m_pluginFuncs,
                     JSC::Bindings::getJNIEnv()) != NPERR_NO_ERROR) {
        PLUGIN_LOG("Couldn't initialize plugin\n");
        return false;
    }

use plugin's initialize function to initialize the plugin ( pass the m_browserFunction in and get the m_pluginFuncs out)

how is PluginPackage.fetchInfo  called

a in PluginView(){} PluginDatabase::installedPlugins()->refresh()

How is PluginView called

how is pluginview.load called?

1.

void Document::updateLayout()

2.

FrameView.Layout()
performPostLayoutTasks();

3.

    if (ownerElement->hasTagName(objectTag) || ownerElement->hasTagName(embedTag))
        static_cast<HTMLPlugInImageElement*>(ownerElement)->updateWidget(false);
    // FIXME: It is not clear that Media elements need or want this updateWidget() call.
#if ENABLE(PLUGIN_PROXY_FOR_VIDEO)
    else if (ownerElement->hasTagName(videoTag) || ownerElement->hasTagName(audioTag))

example

take NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall for example.
a.plugin call m_browserFunctions->pluginthreadasynccall
b.call PluginPackageAndroid.cpp,NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall(instance,func,userData);
c.Npapi.cpp .void NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall(NPP instance, void (*func) (void *), void *userData);
d.PluginMainThreadScheduler::scheduler().scheduleCall(instance, func, userData);
e.PluginMainThreadScheduler.scheduleCall((instance, func, userData);
f.PluginMainThreadScheduler.Call((MainThreadFunction* function, void* userData);
