classloader源码

DexClassLoader

DexClassLoader继承于BaseDexClassLoader，可以加载自定义目录下的Dex文件,内部只有一个方法

  public DexClassLoader(String dexPath, String optimizedDirectory, String libraryPath,ClassLoader parent) {
    super(dexPath, new File(optimizedDirectory), libraryPath, parent);
  }

PathClassLoader

PathClassLoader同样继承于BaseDexClassLoader，可以加载已安装目录下的Dex文件，内部只有两个方法

  public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, ClassLoader parent) {
    super(dexPath, null, null, parent);
  }

  public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, String libraryPath, ClassLoader parent) {
    super(dexPath, null, libraryPath, parent);
  }

BaseDexClassLoader

BaseDexClassLoader继承于ClassLoader，在构造函数中生成DexPathList

this.pathList = new DexPathList(this, dexPath, libraryPath, optimizedDirectory);

BaseDexClassLoader重写了findclass方法，ClassLoader在loadClass时，会调用findClass方法，findclass方法又调用pathlist里的方法

Class c = pathList.findClass(name, suppressedExceptions);

DexPathList

DexPathList是真正管理Dex的类，内部包含一个Dex数组和native数组

private final Element[] dexElements;
private final File[] nativeLibraryDirectories;

在构造函数中初始化dexElements

this.dexElements = makeDexElements(splitDexPath(dexPath),optimizedDirectory,suppressedExceptions);

在makeDexElements中遍历目录，加载dex，生成DexElement

dex = loadDexFile(file, optimizedDirectory);
elements.add(new Element(file, false, zip, dex));

在loadDexFile中加载Dex

return DexFile.loadDex(file.getPath(), optimizedPath, 0);

进行findclass操作时遍历数组，对逐个dex进行查找

for(Element element :dexElements){
    DexFile dex = element.dexFile;
    if (dex != null) {
      Class clazz = dex.loadClassBinaryName(name, definingContext, suppressed);
      if (clazz != null) {
        return clazz;
      }
    }
  }
