Activity窗口创建及添加过程

本文基于Android 7.0

窗口Window是个抽象的概念，window都是由view来呈现，每一个activity都对应着一个window。

先看下activity和window关系的类图

我们知道一个Android app的入口是在ActivityThread，即应用主线程，在该线程对activity进行调度管理。

在startActivity的过程中，会调用到ActivityThread的handleLaunchActivity方法

frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
private void handleLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent, String reason) {
       ...

        Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);
       ...
    }

handleLaunchActivity方法调用了performLaunchActivity方法

frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
    private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
        ...

        Activity activity = null;
        try {
            java.lang.ClassLoader cl = r.packageInfo.getClassLoader();
            activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity(
                    cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);
            StrictMode.incrementExpectedActivityCount(activity.getClass());
            r.intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl);
            r.intent.prepareToEnterProcess();
            if (r.state != null) {
                r.state.setClassLoader(cl);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) {
                throw new RuntimeException(
                    "Unable to instantiate activity " + component
                    + ": " + e.toString(), e);
            }
        }

        try {
            Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);

            ...
            if (activity != null) {
                ...
                activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token,
                        r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent,
                        r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstances, config,
                        r.referrer, r.voiceInteractor, window);

                ...
                activity.mCalled = false;
                if (r.isPersistable()) {
                    mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state, r.persistentState);
                } else {
                    mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state);
                }
               ...
            }
           ...

        } catch (SuperNotCalledException e) {
            throw e;

        } catch (Exception e) {
            ...
        }

        return activity;
    }

这里主要做了三件事情，一是通过ClassLoader创建activity对象，二是调用activity的attach方法，三是callActivityOnCreate开始activity的生命周期。

先看下activity的attach方法

frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
final void attach(Context context, ActivityThread aThread,
            Instrumentation instr, IBinder token, int ident,
            Application application, Intent intent, ActivityInfo info,
            CharSequence title, Activity parent, String id,
            NonConfigurationInstances lastNonConfigurationInstances,
            Configuration config, String referrer, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
            Window window) {
        attachBaseContext(context);

        mFragments.attachHost(null /*parent*/);

        mWindow = new PhoneWindow(this, window);
        mWindow.setWindowControllerCallback(this);
        mWindow.setCallback(this);
        ...
        mWindow.setWindowManager(
                (WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE),
                mToken, mComponent.flattenToString(),
                (info.flags & ActivityInfo.FLAG_HARDWARE_ACCELERATED) != 0)
