LayoutInflater加载布局遇到的坑

问题：

Fragment，adapter中的视图都是需要LayoutInflater将XML文件转换为View对象，但是使用过程中发现加载后，RecyclerView中item设置宽高以及margin无效

案例：

layout_footer.xml

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    app:cardCornerRadius="8dp">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingBottom="20dp">

        ...

    </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

在Activity中加载footer

 View footerView = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.layout_footer,null);

发现上面设置的android:layout_margin=“10”无效

解决：

在布局转换的时候使用

View view = layoutinflater.inflate(R.layout.XXX,ViewGroup,false);

分析：

为什么使用三个参数的inflate方法就能实现效果？

inflate有重载4个方法

public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root)

public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root)

public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot)

public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) 

最终都会走到

public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot)

 LayoutInflater类中的inflate源码

  /**
     * Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified XML node. Throws
     * {@link InflateException} if there is an error.
     * <p>
     * <em><strong>Important</strong></em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For performance
     * reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files
     * that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to
     * use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime.
     *
     * @param parser XML dom node containing the description of the view
     *        hierarchy.
     * @param root Optional view to be the parent of the generated hierarchy (if
     *        <em>attachToRoot</em> is true), or else simply an object that
     *        provides a set of LayoutParams values for root of the returned
     *        hierarchy (if <em>attachToRoot</em> is false.)
     * @param attachToRoot Whether the inflated hierarchy should be attached to
     *        the root parameter? If false, root is only used to create the
     *        correct subclass of LayoutParams for the root view in the XML.
     * @return The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied and
     *         attachToRoot is true, this is root; otherwise it is the root of
     *         the inflated XML file.

1）第一个参数XmlPullParser parser

parser：xml文件
如果传入的是layout的id，会调用
final XmlResourceParser parser = res.getLayout(resource)；转换成xml文件

2）第二个参数root，第三个参数attachToRoot

root不为空
和第三个参数attachToRoot有关
① 如果attachToRoot为true
root成为inflate出来的view对象的父布局
② 如果attachToRoot为false
inflate出来的view的根布局提供LayoutParams参数的控件

当root不为空，attachToRoot为false时候。
获得xml文件中的属性
通过createViewFromTag生成View
再通过generateLayoutParams(attrs)生成layoutparams参数
设置到view中，使得view有layoutParams

 root为空（null）
不指定父布局，那么inflate出来的view对象的根布局的某些参数会失效，比如layout_width和layout_height，layout_margin会失效
