【android每日一问】插件化原理解析，移动客户端开发工程师专业

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.com.sohu.test.app/com.sohu.test.app.MainActivity}:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application android.app.Application: java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Unable to get package info for com.sohu.test.app; is package not installed?

错误提示说是无法实例化 Application，而Application的创建也是在performLaunchActivity中进行的，这里有些蹊跷，我们仔细查看一下发现：

通过ActivityThread的performLaunchActivity方法可以得知，Application通过LoadedApk的makeApplication方法创建，我们查看这个方法，在源码中发现了上文异常抛出的位置：

try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = getClassLoader();
if (!mPackageName.equals(“android”)) {
initializeJavaContextClassLoader();
}
ContextImpl appContext = ContextImpl.createAppContext(mActivityThread, this);
app = mActivityThread.mInstrumentation.newApplication(
cl, appClass, appContext);
appContext.setOuterContext(app);
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mActivityThread.mInstrumentation.onException(app, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to instantiate application " + appClass

• ": " + e.toString(), e);
  }
  }

经过排查发现：

private void initializeJavaContextClassLoader() {
IPackageManager pm = ActivityThread.getPackageManager();
android.content.pm.PackageInfo pi;
try {
pi = pm.getPackageInfo(mPackageName, 0, UserHandle.myUserId());
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Unable to get package info for "

• mPackageName + “; is system dying?”, e);
  }
  if (pi == null) {
  throw new IllegalStateException("Unable to get package info for "
• mPackageName + “; is package not installed?”);
  }

boolean sharedUserIdSet = (pi.sharedUserId != null);
boolean processNameNotDefault =
(pi.applicationInfo != null &&
!mPackageName.equals(pi.applicationInfo.processName));
boolean sharable = (sharedUserIdSet || processNameNotDefault);
ClassLoader contextClassLoader =
(sharable)
? new WarningContextClassLoader()
: mClassLoader;
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(contextClassLoader);
}

这里，我们找出了这个异常的来源：原来这里调用了getPackageInfo方法获取包的信息；而我们的插件并没有安装在系统上，因此系统肯定认为插件没有安装，这个方法肯定返回null。所以，我们还要欺骗一下PMS，让系统觉得插件已经安装在系统上了.

private static void hookPackageManager() throws Exception {

// 这一步是因为 initializeJavaContextClassLoader 这个方法内部无意中检查了这个包是否在系统安装
// 如果没有安装, 直接抛出异常, 这里需要临时Ho
