浅析setContentView

Activity使用setContentView来展示一个布局，我们来看一下流程

    @Override
    public void setContentView(View view) {
        getDelegate().setContentView(view);
    }

可以看到这里使用委托机制，使用AppCompatDelegate去处理

    @NonNull
    public AppCompatDelegate getDelegate() {
        if (mDelegate == null) {
            mDelegate = AppCompatDelegate.create(this, this);
        }
        return mDelegate;
    }

使用静态方法create去获取一个AppCompatDelegate对象

 public static AppCompatDelegate create(Dialog dialog, AppCompatCallback callback) {
        return create(dialog.getContext(), dialog.getWindow(), callback);
    }

    private static AppCompatDelegate create(Context context, Window window,
            AppCompatCallback callback) {
        final int sdk = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
        if (BuildCompat.isAtLeastN()) {
            return new AppCompatDelegateImplN(context, window, callback);
        } else if (sdk >= 23) {
            return new AppCompatDelegateImplV23(context, window, callback);
        } else if (sdk >= 14) {
            return new AppCompatDelegateImplV14(context, window, callback);
        } else if (sdk >= 11) {
            return new AppCompatDelegateImplV11(context, window, callback);
        } else {
            return new AppCompatDelegateImplV9(context, window, callback);
        }
    }

针对不同的版本有不同的实现，它们之间是继承的关系，所有的实现都继承于AppCompatDelegateImplV9，看一下它的setContentView方法

    @Override
    public void setContentView(View v) {
        ensureSubDecor();
        ViewGroup contentParent = (ViewGroup) mSubDecor.findViewById(android.R.id.content);
        contentParent.removeAllViews();
        contentParent.addView(v);
        mOriginalWindowCallback.onContentChanged();
    }

这里调用了ensureSubDecor

private void ensureSubDecor() {
        if (!mSubDecorInstalled) {
            mSubDecor = createSubDecor();

            // 省略代码

            mSubDecorInstalled = true;

            // 省略代码
        }
    }

然后调用createSubDecor

private ViewGroup createSubDecor() {
        // 省略代码 根据主题设置窗体属性，如title，actionBar

        // Now let's make sure that the Window has installed its decor by retrieving it
        mWindow.getDecorView();

        final LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
        ViewGroup subDecor = null;


        if (!mWindowNoTitle) {
            if (mIsFloating) {
                // If we're floating, inflate the dialog title decor
                subDecor = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(
                        R.layout.abc_dialog_title_material, null);

                // Floating windows can never have an action bar, reset the flags
                mHasActionBar = mOverlayActionBar = false;
            } else if (mHasActionBar) {
                /**
                 * This needs some explanation. As we can not use the android:theme attribute
                 * pre-L, we emulate it by manually creating a LayoutInflater using a
                 * ContextThemeWrapper pointing to actionBarTheme.
                 */
                TypedValue outValue = new TypedValue();
                mContext.getTheme().resolveAttribute(R.attr.actionBarTheme, outValue, true);

                Context themedContext;
                if (outValue.resourceId != 0) {
                    themedContext = new ContextThemeWrapper(mContext, outValue.resourceId);
                } else {
                    themedContext = mContext;
                }

                // Now inflate the view using the themed context and set it as the content view
                subDecor = (ViewGroup) LayoutInflater.from(themedContext)
                        .inflate(R.layout.abc_screen_toolbar, null);

                mDecorContentParent = (DecorContentParent) subDecor
                        .findViewById(R.id.decor_content_parent);
                mDecorContentParent.setWindowCallback(getWindowCallback());

                // 省略代码
            }
        } else {
            if (mOverlayActionMode) {
                subDecor = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(
                        R.layout.abc_screen_simple_overlay_action_mode, null);
            } else {
                subDecor = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.abc_screen_simple, null);
            }

            // 省略代码
        }

        // 省略代码

        if (mDecorContentParent == null) {
            mTitleView = (TextView) subDecor.findViewById(R.id.title);
        }

        // Make the decor optionally fit system windows, like the window's decor
        ViewUtils.makeOptionalFitsSystemWindows(subDecor);

        final ContentFrameLayout contentView = (ContentFrameLayout) subDecor.findViewById(
                R.id.action_bar_activity_content);

        final ViewGroup windowContentView = (ViewGroup) mWindow.findViewById(android.R.id.content);
        if (windowContentView != null) {
            // There might be Views already added to the Window's content view so we need to
            // migrate them to our content view
            while (windowContentView.getChildCount() > 0) {
                final View child = windowContentView.getChildAt(0);
                windowContentView.removeViewAt(0);
                contentView.addView(child);
            }

            // Change our content FrameLayout to use the android.R.id.content id.
            // Useful for fragments.
            windowContentView.setId(View.NO_ID);
            contentView.setId(android.R.id.content);

            // The decorContent may have a foreground drawable set (windowContentOverlay).
            // Remove this as we handle it ourselves
            if (windowContentView instanceof FrameLayout) {
                ((FrameLayout) windowContentView).setForeground(null);
            }
        }

        // Now set the Window's content view with the decor
        mWindow.setContentView(subDecor);

        // 省略代码

        return subDecor;
    }

首先调用mWindow.getDecorView()，Window是一个抽象类，并且只有一个实现类PhoneWindow，看一下它的getDecorView

    @Override
    public final View getDecorView() {
        if (mDecor == null || mForceDecorInstall) {
            installDecor();
        }
        return mDecor;
    }

接着看一下installDecor

private void installDecor() {
        mForceDecorInstall = false;
        if (mDecor == null) {
            mDecor = generateDecor(-1);
            mDecor.setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS);
            mDecor.setIsRootNamespace(true);
            if (!mInvalidatePanelMenuPosted && mInvalidatePanelMenuFeatures != 0) {
                mDecor.postOnAnimation(mInvalidatePanelMenuRunnable);
            }
        } else {
            mDecor.setWindow(this);
        }
        if (mContentParent == null) {
            mContentParent = generateLayout(mDecor);

           // 省略一波代码
        }
    }

首先调用generateDecor生成一个DecorView对象，它继承自FrameLayout，然后执行generateLayout

protected ViewGroup generateLayout(DecorView decor) {
        // 省略一堆通过getWindowStyle获取android:theme
        // 通过getLocalFeatures获取requestWindowFeature
        // 的代码，所以当设置全屏的时候应该在setContentView之前

        // Inflate the window decor.

        int layoutResource;
        int features = getLocalFeatures();
        // System.out.println("Features: 0x" + Integer.toHexString(features));
        if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_SWIPE_TO_DISMISS)) != 0) {
            layoutResource = R.layout.screen_swipe_dismiss;
        } else if ((features & ((1 << FEATURE_LEFT_ICON) | (1 << FEATURE_RIGHT_ICON))) != 0) {
            if (mIsFloating) {
                TypedValue res = new TypedValue();
                getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(
                        R.attr.dialogTitleIconsDecorLayout, res, true);
                layoutResource = res.resourceId;
            } else {
                layoutResource = R.layout.screen_title_icons;
            }
            // XXX Remove this once action bar supports these features.
            removeFeature(FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
            // System.out.println("Title Icons!");
        } else if ((features & ((1 << FEATURE_PROGRESS) | (1 << FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS))) != 0
                && (features & (1 << FEATURE_ACTION_BAR)) == 0) {
            // Special case for a window with only a progress bar (and title).
            // XXX Need to have a no-title version of embedded windows.
            layoutResource = R.layout.screen_progress;
            // System.out.println("Progress!");
        } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE)) != 0) {
            // Special case for a window with a custom title.
            // If the window is floating, we need a dialog layout
            if (mIsFloating) {
                TypedValue res = new TypedValue();
                getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(
                        R.attr.dialogCustomTitleDecorLayout, res, true);
                layoutResource = res.resourceId;
            } else {
                layoutResource = R.layout.screen_custom_title;
            }
            // XXX Remove this once action bar supports these features.
            removeFeature(FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
        } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_NO_TITLE)) == 0) {
            // If no other features and not embedded, only need a title.
            // If the window is floating, we need a dialog layout
            if (mIsFloating) {
                TypedValue res = new TypedValue();
                getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(
                        R.attr.dialogTitleDecorLayout, res, true);
                layoutResource = res.resourceId;
            } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_ACTION_BAR)) != 0) {
                layoutResource = a.getResourceId(
                        R.styleable.Window_windowActionBarFullscreenDecorLayout,
                        R.layout.screen_action_bar);
            } else {
                layoutResource = R.layout.screen_title;
            }
            // System.out.println("Title!");
        } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_ACTION_MODE_OVERLAY)) != 0) {
            layoutResource = R.layout.screen_simple_overlay_action_mode;
        } else {
            // Embedded, so no decoration is needed.
            layoutResource = R.layout.screen_simple;
            // System.out.println("Simple!");
        }

        mDecor.startChanging();
        mDecor.onResourcesLoaded(mLayoutInflater, layoutResource);

        ViewGroup contentParent = (ViewGroup)findViewById(ID_ANDROID_CONTENT);
        if (contentParent == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Window couldn't find content container view");
        }

        // 省略代码

        mDecor.finishChanging();

        return contentParent;
    }

这里主要是根据当前设置不同，选择相应的资源文件，然后通过onResourcesLoaded方法把布局添加到mDecor中

void onResourcesLoaded(LayoutInflater inflater, int layoutResource) {
        // 省略代码

        mDecorCaptionView = createDecorCaptionView(inflater);
        final View root = inflater.inflate(layoutResource, null);
        if (mDecorCaptionView != null) {
            if (mDecorCaptionView.getParent() == null) {
                addView(mDecorCaptionView,
                        new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT));
            }
            mDecorCaptionView.addView(root,
                    new ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT));
        } else {

            // Put it below the color views.
            addView(root, 0, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT));
        }
        mContentRoot = (ViewGroup) root;
        initializeElevation();
    }

布局会包含一个id为ID_ANDROID_CONTENT的ViewGroup。
方法执行结束，回来installDecor，把这个ViewGroup赋值给mContentParent，待会会用到。再回来getDecorView，把mDecor返回出去，回到createSubDecor，回到 mWindow.getDecorView()下面继续看。这里通过各种属性判断，拿到一个资源文件，通过LayoutInflater得到一个ViewGroup叫subDecor。subDecor中包含一个id为action_bar_activity_content的FrameLayout。
通过一个循环把上面提到的id为ID_ANDROID_CONTENT的ViewGroup中的所有子View都add到id为action_bar_activity_content的FrameLayout中，并且在自己里面删除。然后为原来id为ID_ANDROID_CONTENT的ViewGroup重新设置一个View.NO_ID，把FrameLayout的id设置为ID_ANDROID_CONTENT，我们setContentView最后就会加入到这个ViewGroup中。再往下会调用mWindow.setContentView(subDecor)，跟进去看一下，在PhoneWindow中

  @Override
    public void setContentView(View view) {
        setContentView(view, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT));
    }

    @Override
    public void setContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
        // Note: FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS may be set in the process of installing the window
        // decor, when theme attributes and the like are crystalized. Do not check the feature
        // before this happens.
        if (mContentParent == null) {
            installDecor();
        } else if (!hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
            mContentParent.removeAllViews();
        }

        if (hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
            // 这里用来设置Activity之间的动画，最后也会把view加入到mContentParent
            // if (mLayoutId > 0) {
            //    LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(mLayoutId, mSceneRoot);
            // } else {
            //    mSceneRoot.addView(mLayout);
            // }
            view.setLayoutParams(params);
            final Scene newScene = new Scene(mContentParent, view);
            transitionTo(newScene);
        } else {
            mContentParent.addView(view, params);
        }
        mContentParent.requestApplyInsets();
        final Callback cb = getCallback();
        if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
            cb.onContentChanged();
        }
        mContentParentExplicitlySet = true;
    }

这里会把传入的subDecor加入到那个之前id为ID_ANDROID_CONTENT，现在id为View.NO_ID的ViewGroup中。然后createSubDecor整个方法就结束了，返回把subDecor赋值给mSubDecor。回到setContentView中，通过mSubDecor拿到新的id为ID_ANDROID_CONTENT的ViewGroup，也就是subDecor中的ViewGroup，然后把我们自己的View加入到ViewGroup中，整个流程就结束了。
