Activity的创建流程

Activity的创建流程如下所示：

获取LoadedApk对象。
创建Activity对象。
创建Application对象。
创建ContextImpl对象。
执行Activity的onCreate()回调方法。

public final class ActivityThread {
    
    private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
            // System.out.println("##### [" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "] ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(" + r + ")");
    
            ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo;
            // 1. 获取LoadedApk对象。
            if (r.packageInfo == null) {
                r.packageInfo = getPackageInfo(aInfo.applicationInfo, r.compatInfo,
                        Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE);
            }
    
            ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent();
            if (component == null) {
                component = r.intent.resolveActivity(
                    mInitialApplication.getPackageManager());
                r.intent.setComponent(component);
            }
    
            if (r.activityInfo.targetActivity != null) {
                component = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName,
                        r.activityInfo.targetActivity);
            }
    
            // 2. 创建Activity对象。
            Activity activity = null;
            try {
                java.lang.ClassLoader cl = r.packageInfo.getClassLoader();

                        cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);

Activity类 、Service类 、Application类本质上都是Context子类
