2011.8.19----(android中桌面widget的后台管理服务AppWidgetService初探）

最近在看一些widget的东西，发现很是郁闷，只看sdk，都一些介绍性的东西，怎么配置，建什么provider，providerinfo，remoteviews，之类，越看感觉越不爽，没有掌控权，所以决定看看框架是怎么组织widget的。废话少说，从源码看起。

 

和大多数后台服务一样，AppWidgetService也是在SystemServer中初始化的，代码片段如下：

public class SystemServer
{
    /**
     * This method is called from Zygote to initialize the system. This will cause the native
     * services (SurfaceFlinger, AudioFlinger, etc..) to be started. After that it will call back
     * up into init2() to start the Android services.
     */
    native public static void init1(String[] args);

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (SamplingProfilerIntegration.isEnabled()) {
            SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
            timer = new Timer();
            timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    SamplingProfilerIntegration.writeSnapshot("system_server");
                }
            }, SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL, SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL);
        }

        // The system server has to run all of the time, so it needs to be
        // as efficient as possible with its memory usage.
        VMRuntime.getRuntime().setTargetHeapUtilization(0.8f);

        System.loadLibrary("android_servers");
        init1(args);
    }

    public static final void init2() {
        Log.i(TAG, "Entered the Android system server!");
        Thread thr = new ServerThread();
        thr.setName("android.server.ServerThread"
