}

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

List suppressedExceptions, ClassLoader loader, boolean isTrusted) {

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

int elementsPos = 0;

for (File file : files) {

if (file.isDirectory()) {

elements[elementsPos++] = new Element(file);

} else if (file.isFile()) {

String name = file.getName();

DexFile dex = null;

if (name.endsWith(DEX_SUFFIX)) {

// Raw dex file (not inside a zip/jar).

try {

dex = loadDexFile(file, optimizedDirectory, loader, elements);

if (dex != null) {

elements[elementsPos++] = new Element(dex, null);

}

} catch (IOException suppressed) {

System.logE("Unable to load dex file: " + file, suppressed);

suppressedExceptions.add(suppressed);

}

} else {

try {

dex = loadDexFile(file, optimizedDirectory, loader, elements);

} catch (IOException suppressed) {

suppressedExceptions.add(suppressed);

}

if (dex == null) {

elements[elementsPos++] = new Element(file);

} else {

elements[elementsPos++] = new Element(dex, file);

}

}

} else {

System.logW("ClassLoader referenced unknown path: " + file);

}

}

return elements;

}

public Class findClass(String name, List suppressed) {

for (Element element : dexElements) {

DexFile dex = element.dexFile;

if (dex != null) {

Class clazz = dex.loadClassBinaryName(name, definingContext, suppressed);

if (clazz != null) {

return clazz;

}

}

}

if (dexElementsSuppressedExceptions != null) {

suppressed.addAll(Arrays.asList(dexElementsSuppressedExceptions));

}

return null;

}

}

DexPathList构造方法被调用的时候其实就是通过makeDexElements方法把dexPath进行遍历，依次加载每个dex文件，然后通过数组Element[]存放，而在DexPathList类的findClass调用的时候，通过遍历Element[]的dex文件，在通过DexFile类的loadClassBinaryName()来加载类，如果不为空那么代表加载成功，并且返回class，否则返回null。

下面再来看一下基类的ClassLoader是如何实现的吧

public abstract class ClassLoader {

private final ClassLoader parent;

protected Class<?> loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)

throws ClassNotFoundException{

Class c = findLoadedClass(name);

if (c == null) {

try {

if (parent != null) {

c = parent.loadClass(name, false);

} else {

c = findBootstrapClassOrNull(name);

}

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

}

if (c == null) {

c = findClass(nam
