Activity启动过程（一）从本地到远端第一次IPC

本系列以android 9.0为例

一.从Activity到Instrumentation

startActivity(intent);方法点进去最后都会走
startActivityForResult

最终其实是走的

mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
    this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
    intent, requestCode, options);

 

二 .在Instrumentation中的execStartActivity

注意这里是有七个参数，而且第四个参数是个activity

 /**
     * Execute a startActivity call made by the application.  The default 
     * implementation takes care of updating any active {@link ActivityMonitor}
     * objects and dispatches this call to the system activity manager; you can
     * override this to watch for the application to start an activity, and 
     * modify what happens when it does. 
     *
     * <p>This method returns an {@link ActivityResult} object, which you can 
     * use when intercepting application calls to avoid performing the start 
     * activity action but still return the result the application is 
     * expecting.  To do this, override this method to catch the call to start 
     * activity so that it returns a new ActivityResult containing the results 
     * you would like the application to see, and don't call up to the super 
     * class.  Note that an application is only expecting a result if 
     * <var>requestCode</var> is &gt;= 0.
     *
     * <p>This method throws {@link android.content.ActivityNotFoundException}
     * if there was no Activity found to run the given Intent.
     *
     * @param who The Context from which the activity is being started.
     * @param contextThread The main thread of the Context from which the activity
     *                      is being started.
     * @param token Internal token identifying to the system who is starting 
     *              the activity; may be null.
     * @param target Which activity is performing the start (and thus receiving 
     *               any result); may be null if this call is not being made
     *               from an activity.
     * @param intent The actual Intent to start.
     * @param requestCode Identifier for this request's result; less than zero 
     *                    if the caller is not expecting a result.
     * @param options Addition options.
     *
     * @return To force the return of a particular result, return an 
     *         ActivityResult object containing the desired data; otherwise
     *         return null.  The default implementation always returns null.
     *
     * @throws android.content.ActivityNotFoundException
     *
     * @see Activity#startActivity(Intent)
     * @see Activity#startActivityForResult(Intent, int)
     * @see Activity#startActivityFromChild
     *
     * {@hide}
     */
    public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
            Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
            Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
        IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
        Uri referrer = target != null ? target.onProvideReferrer() : null;
        if (referrer != null) {
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER, referrer);
        }
        if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
            synchronized (mSync) {
                final int N = mActivityMonitors.size();
                for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
                    final ActivityMonitor am = mActivityMonitors.get(i);
                    ActivityResult result = null;
                    if (am.ignoreMatchingSpecificIntents()) {
                        result = am.onStartActivity(intent);
                    }
                    if (result != null) {
                        am.mHits++;
                        return result;
                    } else if (am.match(who, null, intent)) {
                        am.mHits++;
                        if (am.isBlocking()) {
                            return requestCode >= 0 ? am.getResult() : null;
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        try {
            intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
            intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(who);
            int result = ActivityManager.getService()
                .startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
                        intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
                        token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
                        requestCode, 0, null, options);
            checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
        } catch (RemoteException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failure from system", e);
        }
        return null;
    }

注意这里的关键代码：

 int result = ActivityManager.getService()
                .startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
                        intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
                        token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
                        requestCode, 0, null, options);

三：执行startactivity的真身：IActivityManagerSingleton

ActivityManager.getService()得到的是什么呢，看一下ActivityManager的源码

    /**
     * @hide
     */
    public static IActivityManager getService() {
        return IActivityManagerSingleton.get();
    }

    private static final Singleton<IActivityManager> IActivityManagerSingleton =
            new Singleton<IActivityManager>() {
                @Override
                protected IActivityManager create() {
                    final IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
                    final IActivityManager am = IActivityManager.Stub.asInterface(b);
                    return am;
                }
            };

可以看到，这里通过ServiceManager.getService得到了AMS的代理，

到这里，本地应用内的第一阶段的流程就走完了

下一篇会跳到远端进程中继续讲。
