1 背景

今天突然想起之前在上家公司（做TV与BOX盒子）时有好几个人问过我关于Android的Context到底是啥的问题，所以就马上要诞生这篇文章。我们平时在开发App应用程序时一直都在使用Context（别说你没用过，访问当前应用的资源、启动一个activity等都用到了Context），但是很少有人关注过这玩意到底是啥，也很少有人知道getApplication与getApplicationContext方法有啥区别，以及一个App到底有多少个Context等等的细节。

更为致命的是Context使用不当还会造成内存泄漏。所以说完全有必要拿出来单独分析分析（基于Android 5.1.1 （API 22）源码分析）。

2 Context基本信息

2-1 Context概念

先看下源码Context类基本情况，如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;"><span class="hljs-javadoc" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">/**
 * Interface to global information about an application environment.  This is
 * an abstract class whose implementation is provided by
 * the Android system.  It
 * allows access to application-specific resources and classes, as well as
 * up-calls for application-level operations such as launching activities,
 * broadcasting and receiving intents, etc.
 */</span>
<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">public</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">abstract</span> <span class="hljs-class" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">class</span> <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(102, 0, 102);">Context</span> {</span>
    ......
}</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li></ul>

从源码注释可以看见，Context提供了关于应用环境全局信息的接口。它是一个抽象类，它的执行被Android系统所提供。它允许获取以应用为特征的资源和类型，是一个统领一些资源（应用程序环境变量等）的上下文。

看见上面的Class OverView了吗？翻译就是说，它描述一个应用程序环境的信息（即上下文）；是一个抽象类，Android提供了该抽象类的具体实现类；通过它我们可以获取应用程序的资源和类（包括应用级别操作，如启动Activity，发广播，接受Intent等）。

既然上面Context是一个抽象类，那么肯定有他的实现类咯，我们在Context的源码中通过IDE可以查看到他的子类如下：

吓尿了，737个子类，经过粗略浏览这些子类名字和查阅资料发现，这些子类无非就下面一些主要的继承关系。这737个类都是如下关系图的直接或者间接子类而已。如下是主要的继承关系：

从这里可以发现，Service和Application的类继承类似，Activity继承ContextThemeWrapper。这是因为Activity有主题（Activity提供UI显示，所以需要主题），而Service是没有界面的服务。

所以说，我们从这张主要关系图入手来分析Context相关源码。

2-2 Context之间关系源码概述

有了上述通过IDE查看的大致关系和图谱之后我们在源码中来仔细看下这些继承关系。

先来看下Context类源码注释：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;"><span class="hljs-javadoc" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">/**

<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">public</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">abstract</span> <span class="hljs-class" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">class</span> <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(102, 0, 102);">Context</span> {</span>

看见没有，抽象类Context ，提供了一组通用的API。

再来看看Context的实现类ContextImpl源码注释：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;"><span class="hljs-javadoc" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">/**

class ContextImpl extends Context {
    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">private</span> Context mOuterContext;
    ......
}</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li></ul>

该类实现了Context类的所有功能。

再来看看Context的包装类ContextWrapper源码注释：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;"><span class="hljs-javadoc" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">/**

    }

    <span class="hljs-javadoc" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">/**

该类的构造函数包含了一个真正的Context引用（ContextImpl对象），然后就变成了ContextImpl的装饰着模式。

再来看看ContextWrapper的子类ContextThemeWrapper源码注释：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;"><span class="hljs-javadoc" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">/**

该类内部包含了主题Theme相关的接口，即android:theme属性指定的。

再来看看Activity、Service、Application类的继承关系源码：

看见没有？他们完全符合上面我们绘制的结构图与概述。

2-3 解决应用Context个数疑惑

有了上面的Context继承关系验证与分析之后我们来看下一个应用程序到底有多个Context？

Android应用程序只有四大组件，而其中两大组件都继承自Context，另外每个应用程序还有一个全局的Application对象。所以在我们了解了上面继承关系之后我们就可以计算出来Context总数，如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">APP Context总数 = Application数(<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">1</span>) + Activity数(Customer) + Service数(Customer);</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li></ul>

到此，我们也明确了Context是啥，继承关系是啥样，应用中Context个数是多少的问题。接下来就有必要继续深入分析这些Context都是怎么来的。

3 各种Context在ActivityThread中实例化过程源码分析

在开始分析之前还是和《Android异步消息处理机制详解及源码分析》的3-1-2小节及《Android应用setContentView与LayoutInflater加载解析机制源码分析》的2-6小节一样直接先给出关于Activity启动的一些概念，后面会写文章分析这一过程。

Context的实现是ContextImpl，Activity与Application和Service的创建都是在ActivityThread中完成的，至于在ActivityThread何时、怎样调运的关系后面会写文章分析，这里先直接给出结论，因为我们分析的重点是Context过程。

3-1 Activity中ContextImpl实例化源码分析

通过startActivity启动一个新的Activity时系统会回调ActivityThread的handleLaunchActivity()方法，该方法内部会调用performLaunchActivity()方法去创建一个Activity实例，然后回调Activity的onCreate()等方法。所以Activity的ContextImpl实例化是在ActivityThread类的performLaunchActivity方法中，如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">private</span> Activity <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">performLaunchActivity</span>(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
        ......
            <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//已经创建好新的activity实例</span>
            <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">if</span> (activity != <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">null</span>) {
                <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//创建一个Context对象</span>
                Context appContext = createBaseContextForActivity(r, activity);
                ......
                <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//将上面创建的appContext传入到activity的attach方法</span>
                activity.attach(appContext, <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">this</span>, getInstrumentation(), r.token,
                        r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent,
                        r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstances, config,
                        r.referrer, r.voiceInteractor);
                ......
            }
        ......
        <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> activity;
    }</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">12</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">13</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">14</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">15</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">16</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">17</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">12</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">13</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">14</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">15</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">16</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">17</li></ul>

看见上面performLaunchActivity的核心代码了吗？通过createBaseContextForActivity(r, activity);创建appContext，然后通过activity.attach设置值。

具体我们先看下createBaseContextForActivity方法源码，如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">private</span> Context <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">createBaseContextForActivity</span>(ActivityClientRecord r,
            <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">final</span> Activity activity) {
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//实质就是new一个ContextImpl对象，调运ContextImpl的有参构造初始化一些参数    </span>
        ContextImpl appContext = ContextImpl.createActivityContext(<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">this</span>, r.packageInfo, r.token);
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//特别特别留意这里！！！</span>
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//ContextImpl中有一个Context的成员叫mOuterContext，通过这条语句就可将当前新Activity对象赋值到创建的ContextImpl的成员mOuterContext（也就是让ContextImpl内部持有Activity）。</span>
        appContext.setOuterContext(activity);
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//创建返回值并且赋值</span>
        Context baseContext = appContext;
        ......
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//返回ContextImpl对象</span>
        <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> baseContext;
    }</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">12</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">13</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">12</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">13</li></ul>

再来看看activity.attach，也就是Activity中的attach方法，如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">final</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">void</span> attach(Context context, ActivityThread aThread,

        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//与上面createBaseContextForActivity方法中setOuterContext语句类似，不同的在于：</span>

通过上面Activity的Context实例化分析再结合上面Context继承关系可以看出：

Activity通过ContextWrapper的成员mBase来引用了一个ContextImpl对象，这样，Activity组件以后就可以通过这个ContextImpl对象来执行一些具体的操作（启动Service等）；同时ContextImpl类又通过自己的成员mOuterContext引用了与它关联的Activity，这样ContextImpl类也可以操作Activity。

SO，由此说明一个Activity就有一个Context，而且生命周期和Activity类相同（记住这句话，写应用就可以避免一些低级的内存泄漏问题）。

3-2 Service中ContextImpl实例化源码分析

写APP时我们通过startService或者bindService方法创建一个新Service时就会回调ActivityThread类的handleCreateService()方法完成相关数据操作（具体关于ActivityThread调运handleCreateService时机等细节分析与上面Activity雷同，后边文章会做分析）。具体handleCreateService方法代码如下：

            context.setOuterContext(service);

            Application app = packageInfo.makeApplication(<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">false</span>, mInstrumentation);
            <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//将上面创建的context传入到service的attach方法</span>

可以看出步骤流程和Activity的类似，只是实现细节略有不同而已。

SO，由此说明一个Service就有一个Context，而且生命周期和Service类相同（记住这句话，写应用就可以避免一些低级的内存泄漏问题）。

3-3 Application中ContextImpl实例化源码分析

当我们写好一个APP以后每次重新启动时都会首先创建Application对象（每个APP都有一个唯一的全局Application对象，与整个APP的生命周期相同）。创建Application的过程也在ActivityThread类的handleBindApplication()方法完成相关数据操作（具体关于ActivityThread调运handleBindApplication时机等细节分析与上面Activity雷同，后边文章会做分析）。而ContextImpl的创建是在该方法中调运LoadedApk类的makeApplication方法中实现，LoadedApk类的makeApplication()方法中源代码如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">public</span> Application <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">makeApplication</span>(<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">boolean</span> forceDefaultAppClass,
            Instrumentation instrumentation) {
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//只有新创建的APP才会走if代码块之后的剩余逻辑</span>
        <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">if</span> (mApplication != <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">null</span>) {
            <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> mApplication;
        }
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//即将创建的Application对象</span>
        Application app = <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">null</span>;

        ......
    }</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li></ul>

可以看出步骤流程和Activity的类似，只是实现细节略有不同而已。

SO，由此说明一个Application就有一个Context，而且生命周期和Application类相同（然而一个App只有一个Application，而且与应用生命周期相同）。

4 应用程序APP各种Context访问资源的唯一性分析

你可能会有疑问，这么多Context都是不同实例，那么我们平时写App时通过context.getResources得到资源是不是就不是同一份呢？下面我们从源码来分析下，如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">class ContextImpl extends Context {
    ......
    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">private</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">final</span> ResourcesManager mResourcesManager;
    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">private</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">final</span> Resources mResources;
    ......
    <span class="hljs-annotation" style="color: rgb(155, 133, 157); box-sizing: border-box;">@Override</span>
    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">public</span> Resources <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">getResources</span>() {
        <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> mResources;
    }
    ......
}</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">10</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">11</li></ul>

看见没，有了上面分析我们可以很确定平时写的App中context.getResources方法获得的Resources对象就是上面ContextImpl的成员变量mResources。那我们追踪可以发现mResources的赋值操作如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">private</span> <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">ContextImpl</span>(ContextImpl container, ActivityThread mainThread,

        ......
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//packageInfo对于一个APP来说只有一个，所以resources 是同一份</span>
        Resources resources = packageInfo.getResources(mainThread);
        <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">if</span> (resources != <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">null</span>) {

                            != resources.getCompatibilityInfo().applicationScale)) {
                <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//mResourcesManager是单例，所以resources是同一份</span>
                resources = mResourcesManager.getTopLevelResources(packageInfo.getResDir(),
                        packageInfo.getSplitResDirs(), packageInfo.getOverlayDirs(),
                        packageInfo.getApplicationInfo().sharedLibraryFiles, displayId,
                        overrideConfiguration, compatInfo, activityToken);
            }
        }
        <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">//把resources赋值给mResources</span>

由此可以看出在设备其他因素不变的情况下我们通过不同的Context实例得到的Resources是同一套资源。

PS一句，同样的分析方法也可以发现Context类的packageInfo对于一个应用来说也只有一份。感兴趣可以自行分析。

5 应用程序APP各种Context使用区分源码分析

5-1 先来解决getApplication和getApplicationContext的区别

很多人一直区分不开这两个方法的区别，这里从源码来分析一下，如下：

首先来看getApplication方法，你会发现Application与Context都没有提供该方法，这个方法是哪提供的呢？我们看下Activity与Service中的代码，可以发下如下：

Activity和Service提供了getApplication，而且返回类型都是Application。这个mApplication都是在各自类的attach方法参数出入的，也就是说这个mApplication都是在ActivityThread中各自实例化时获取的makeApplication方法返回值。

所以不同的Activity和Service返回的Application均为同一个全局对象。

再来看看getApplicationContext方法，如下：

<code class="language-java hljs  has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background: transparent;">class ContextImpl extends Context {
    ......
    <span class="hljs-annotation" style="color: rgb(155, 133, 157); box-sizing: border-box;">@Override</span>
    <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">public</span> Context <span class="hljs-title" style="box-sizing: border-box;">getApplicationContext</span>() {
        <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> (mPackageInfo != <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">null</span>) ?
                mPackageInfo.getApplication() : mMainThread.getApplication();
    }
    ......
}</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li></ul><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li></ul>

可以看到getApplicationContext方法是Context的方法，而且返回值是Context类型，返回对象和上面通过Service或者Activity的getApplication返回的是一个对象。

所以说对于客户化的第三方应用来说两个方法返回值一样，只是返回值类型不同，还有就是依附的对象不同而已。

5-2 各种获取Context方法的差异及开发要点提示

可以看出来，Application的Context生命周期与应用程序完全相同。 
Activity或者Service的Context与他们各自类生命周期相同。

所以说对于Context使用不当会引起内存泄漏。

譬如一个单例模式的自定义数据库管理工具类需要传入一个Context，而这个数据库管理对象又需要在Activity中使用，如果我们传递Activity的Context就可能造成内存泄漏，所以需要传递Application的Context。

6 Context分析总结

到此整个Android应用的Context疑惑就完全解开了，同时也依据源码分析结果给出了平时开发APP中该注意的内存泄漏问题提示与解决方案。相信通过这一篇你在开发APP时对于Context的使用将不再迷惑。
