View标签与view标签引发的bug思考

题引：前些天想用View标签写个下划线，结果把View写成view了，出现了一个奇葩的bug。

二、bug分析

1、bug：在一个空指针上调用equals()方法。

2、事实上，我没调用过equals()这个方法。

3、跟进Android源码，发现是Android源码调用equals()方法报空指针异常。

涉及的Android源码如下：

View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
            boolean ignoreThemeAttr) {
        if (name.equals("view")) {
            name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class");
        }


        // Apply a theme wrapper, if allowed and one is specified.
        if (!ignoreThemeAttr) {
            final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
            final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
            if (themeResId != 0) {
                context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
            }
            ta.recycle();
        }


        if (name.equals(TAG_1995)) {
            // Let's party like it's 1995!
            return new BlinkLayout(context, attrs);
        }


        try {
            View view;
            if (mFactory2 != null) {
                view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
            } else if (mFactory != null) {
                view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, context, attrs);
            } else {
                view = null;
            }


            if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) {
                view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
            }


            if (view == null) {
                final Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
                mConstructorArgs[0] = context;
                try {
                    if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) {
                        view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
                    } else {
                        view = createView(name, null, attrs);
                    }
                } finally {
                    mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
                }
            }


            return view;
        } catch (InflateException e) {
            throw e;


        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + name);
            ie.initCause(e);
            throw ie;


        } catch (Exception e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + name);
            ie.initCause(e);
            throw ie;
        }
    }

三、Android源码分析

1、Android源码通过判断标签名是View还是view来做不同逻辑处理。

2、如果是view的话就会去获取class属性的值，但是我在xml中并没有设置class属性的值，因此获取到的将会是空指针，进而执行到equals()方法时就会报空指针。

3、另外，view也是可以用作xml标签的，不过是用于在xml中引用内部类的View
