Dialog的Window的创建过程

Dialog的Window的创建过程和Activity的类似
1、创建Window
与Activity的一样同样是通过PolicyManager的makeNewWindow方法来完成，实际上就是PhoneWindow。

public class Dialog implements DialogInterface, Window.Callback,KeyEvent.Callback, OnCreateContextMenuListener {

Dialog(Context context, int theme, boolean createContextWrapper) {
        if (theme == 0) {
            TypedValue outValue = new TypedValue();
            context.getTheme().resolveAttribute(com.android.internal.R.attr.dialogTheme,
                    outValue, true);
            theme = outValue.resourceId;
        }

        mContext = createContextWrapper ? new ContextThemeWrapper(context, theme) : context;
        mWindowManager = (WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
        Window w = PolicyManager.makeNewWindow(mContext);
        mWindow = w;
        w.setCallback(this);
        w.setWindowManager(mWindowManager, null, null);
        w.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        mListenersHandler = new ListenersHandler(this);
    }
}

2.初始化DecorView并将Dialog的视图添加到DecorView中

public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
        mWindow.setContentView(layoutResID);
}

3.将DecorView添加到Window中显示
Dialog的show方法，通过WindowManager将DecorView添加到Window中

mDecor = mWindow.getDecorView();
try {
    mWindowManager.addView(mDecor, l);
    mShowing = true;
    sendShowMessage();
    } finally {
}

以上可以看出 Dialog的Window的创建过程和Activity的Window的创建过程很类似。
当Dialog被关闭时，会通过WindowManager来移除DecorView

public void dismiss() {
        if (Looper.myLooper() == mHandler.getLooper()) {
            dismissDialog();
        } else {
            mHandler.post(mDismissAction);
        }
    }

    void dismissDialog() {
        if (mDecor == null || !mShowing) {
            return;
        }

        if (mWindow.isDestroyed()) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Tried to dismissDialog() but the Dialog's window was already destroyed!");
            return;
        }

        try {
            mWindowManager.removeView(mDecor);
        } finally {
            if (mActionMode != null) {
                mActionMode.finish();
            }
            mDecor = null;
            mWindow.closeAllPanels();
            onStop();
            mShowing = false;

            sendDismissMessage();
        }
    }

普通的Dialog有一个特殊之处，那就是必须采用Activity的Context，如果采用Application的Context，就会报错。报没有应用token的错误，而应用token一般只有Activity才有，所以只需要用Activity作为Context来显示对话框即可。系统Window比较特殊，它不需要token，如果想要指定对话框为系统Window类型，可以设置WindowManager.LayoutParams.type参数。

dialog.getWindow().setType(LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR)

同时不要忘记在AndroidManifest中添加权限。

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />
