LayoutInflater中的inflate参数的定义

LayoutInflater这个类的一些用法，在Android开发者使用的过程中，确实存在着一些很普遍的误区，最起码我研究的这么多小项目的源代码，基本上都在错误的使用这个类。今天，看到了一篇文章讲LayoutInflater的用法，瞬间感觉自己对这个类确实不够了解，于是简单的看了下LayoutInflater类的源代码，对这个类有了新的认识。

首先，LayoutInflater这个类是用来干嘛的呢？

我们最常用的便是LayoutInflater的inflate方法，这个方法重载了四种调用方式，分别为：

1. public View inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root)

2. public View inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot)

3.public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, ViewGroup root)

4.public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot)

这四种使用方式中，我们最常用的是第一种方式，inflate方法的主要作用就是将xml转换成一个View对象，用于动态的创建布局。虽然重载了四个方法，但是这四种方法最终调用的，还是第四种方式。第四种方式也很好理解，内部实现原理就是利用Pull解析器，对Xml文件进行解析，然后返回View对象。

我们以我们经常使用的第一种形式为例，你在重写BaseAdapter的getView方法的时候是否这样做过

?

1 2 3 4 5 6

public View getView( int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {      if (convertView == null ) {          convertView = inflate(R.layout.item_row, null );      }      return convertView; }

inflate方法有三个参数，分别是

1.resource 布局的资源id

2.root 填充的根视图

3.attachToRoot 是否将载入的视图绑定到根视图中

在这个例子中，我们将root参数设为空，功能确实实现了，但是这里还隐藏着一个隐患，这种方式并不是inflate正确的使用姿势，下面我们通过一个Demo，来说一下这样使用造成的弊端。

首先，我们建立一个这样的项目

对应的布局文件如下

1 2 3 4 5 6

<!--?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "utf-8" ?--> <linearlayout xmlns:android= "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width= "match_parent" android:layout_height= "60dp" android:background= "@android:color/holo_orange_light" android:gravity= "center" android:orientation= "vertical" >        <textview android:id= "@+id/tv" android:layout_width= "wrap_content" android:layout_height= "wrap_content" android:text= "11" android:textcolor= "@android:color/black" android:textsize= "22sp" >   </textview></linearlayout>

OneActivity的代码如下

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49

public class OneActivity extends Activity {        private ListView list1;        @Override      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {          super .onCreate(savedInstanceState);          setContentView(R.layout.activity_one);          list1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list1);          list1.setAdapter( new MyAdapter( this ));      }        private class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {            private LayoutInflater inflater;            MyAdapter(Context context) {              inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);          }            @Override          public int getCount() {              return 20 ;          }            @Override          public Object getItem( int position) {              return position;          }            @Override          public long getItemId( int position) {              return position;          }            @Override          public View getView( int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {                if (convertView == null ) {                  convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_list, null );              }              TextView tv = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tv);              tv.setText(position+ "" );              return convertView;          }        }   }

TwoActivity的代码如下

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48

public class TwoActivity extends Activity {      private ListView list2;        @Override      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {          super .onCreate(savedInstanceState);          setContentView(R.layout.activity_two);          list2 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list2);          list2.setAdapter( new MyAdapter( this ));      }        private class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {            private LayoutInflater inflater;            MyAdapter(Context context) {              inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);          }            @Override          public int getCount() {              return 20 ;          }            @Override          public Object getItem( int position) {              return position;          }            @Override          public long getItemId( int position) {              return position;          }            @Override          public View getView( int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {                if (convertView == null ) {                  convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_list, parent, false );              }              TextView tv = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tv);              tv.setText(position + "" );              return convertView;          }        }   }

两个文件最关键的区别就一句话，

在getView方法中，OneActivity是

convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_list, null);

在getView方法中，TwoActivity是

convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_list, parent,false);

我们先看一下显示效果，再说两者的区别

OneActivity效果

TwoActivity的显示效果

我们可以很明显的看出来，使用第一种方式，根布局的高度设置60dp没有起作用，系统还是按照包裹内容的方式加载的，为什么会产生这种效果呢？我们从需要inflate方法的源代码中找一下答案。

首先，方式一的源代码实现

1 2 3

public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, ViewGroup root) {          return inflate(parser, root, root != null );      }

当我们使用方式一，并且第二个参数传入null的时候，默认调用的是下面的方法，并且attachToRoot是false

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

public View inflate( int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {          if (DEBUG) System.out.println( "INFLATING from resource: " + resource);          XmlResourceParser parser = getContext().getResources().getLayout(resource);          try {              return inflate(parser, root, attachToRoot);          } finally {              parser.close();          }      }

在这一个方法中，pull解析器将资源id转化成XmlResourceParser对象，又传给了第四种方式，所以我们需要重点看的还是第四种方式是如何实现的

?

public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {          synchronized (mConstructorArgs) {              Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, "inflate" );                final AttributeSet attrs = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);              Context lastContext = (Context)mConstructorArgs[ 0 ];              mConstructorArgs[ 0 ] = mContext;              View result = root;                try {                  // Look for the root node.                  int type;                  while ((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.START_TAG &&                          type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {                      // Empty                  }                    if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {                      throw new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription()                              + ": No start tag found!" );                  }                    final String name = parser.getName();                                    if (DEBUG) {                      System.out.println( "**************************" );                      System.out.println( "Creating root view: "                              + name);                      System.out.println( "**************************" );                  }                    if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {                      if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {                          throw new InflateException( "<merge> can be used only with a valid "                                  + "ViewGroup root and attachToRoot=true" );                      }                        rInflate(parser, root, attrs, false );                  } else {                      // Temp is the root view that was found in the xml                      View temp;                      if (TAG_1995.equals(name)) {                          temp = new BlinkLayout(mContext, attrs);                      } else {                          temp = createViewFromTag(root, name, attrs);                      }                        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = null ;                        if (root != null ) {                          if (DEBUG) {                              System.out.println( "Creating params from root: " +                                      root);                          }                          // Create layout params that match root, if supplied                          params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs);                          if (!attachToRoot) {                              // Set the layout params for temp if we are not                              // attaching. (If we are, we use addView, below)                              temp.setLayoutParams(params);                          }                      }                        if (DEBUG) {                          System.out.println( "-----> start inflating children" );                      }                      // Inflate all children under temp                      rInflate(parser, temp, attrs, true );                      if (DEBUG) {                          System.out.println( "-----> done inflating children" );                      }                        // We are supposed to attach all the views we found (int temp)                      // to root. Do that now.                      if (root != null && attachToRoot) {                          root.addView(temp, params);                      }                        // Decide whether to return the root that was passed in or the                      // top view found in xml.                      if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {                          result = temp;                      }                  }                } catch (XmlPullParserException e) {                  InflateException ex = new InflateException(e.getMessage());                  ex.initCause(e);                  throw ex;              } catch (IOException e) {                  InflateException ex = new InflateException(                          parser.getPositionDescription()                          + ": " + e.getMessage());                  ex.initCause(e);                  throw ex;              } finally {                  // Don't retain static reference on context.                  mConstructorArgs[ 0 ] = lastContext;                  mConstructorArgs[ 1 ] = null ;              }                Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW);                return result;          }      }</merge>

代码比较长，我们重点关注下面的代码

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

if (root != null ) {                          if (DEBUG) {                              System.out.println( "Creating params from root: " +                                      root);                          }                          // Create layout params that match root, if supplied                          params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs);                          if (!attachToRoot) {                              // Set the layout params for temp if we are not                              // attaching. (If we are, we use addView, below)                              temp.setLayoutParams(params);                          }                      }

这些代码的意思就是，当我们传进来的root参数不是空的时候，并且attachToRoot是false的时候，也就是上面的TwoActivity的实现方式的时候，会给temp设置一个LayoutParams参数。那么这个temp又是干嘛的呢？

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
