android进阶篇01、Android类加载机制与Dex文件简介，2024年最新移动app开发平台

4、在这个方法中，会去循环遍历dexElements，然后调用Element的findClass方法；那么这个dexElements是啥呢？在DexPathList构造方法中对其进行了赋值：

public DexPathList(ClassLoader definingContext, String dexPath,

String librarySearchPath, File optimizedDirectory) {

// save dexPath for BaseDexClassLoader

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

suppressedExceptions, definingContext);

}

5、splitDexPath --> splitPaths ,会返回一个List;

private static List splitPaths(String searchPath, boolean directoriesOnly) {

List result = new ArrayList<>();

if (searchPath != null) {

for (String path : searchPath.split(File.pathSeparator)) {

if (directoriesOnly) {

try {

StructStat sb = Libcore.os.stat(path);

if (!S_ISDIR(sb.st_mode)) {

continue;

}

} catch (ErrnoException ignored) {

continue;

}

}

result.add(new File(path));

}

}

return result;

}

6、makeDexElements方法会返回一个Element数组，可以看到在此方法中通过File构建DexFile，然后通过DexFile构建Element，最后将Elements数组返回：

private static Element[] makeDexElements(List files, File optimizedDirectory,

List suppressedExceptions, ClassLoader loader) {

Element[] elements = new Element[files.size()];

int elementsPos = 0;

/*

• Open all files and load the (direct or contained) dex files up front.

*/

for (File file : files) {

if (file.isDirectory()) {

// We support directories for looking up resources. Looking up resources in

// directories is u
