安卓关于inflate方法的总结

android inflate

---

前言

android中我们经常用到inflate方法，今天对这个方法进行一个总结，inflate方法调用方式如下：

• View.inflate(Context context, @LayoutRes int resource, ViewGroup root);
• LayoutInflater.from(Context context).inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot);

说白了，一种是通过View类调用其静态方法inflate。另一种是获取LayoutInflater对象，调用LayoutInflater类的inflate方法。

分析

那我们就分别看下这两个方法，首先看下View类的inflate方法。

代码很简单，通过LayoutInflater.from(context);生成一个LayoutInflater对象，调用其inflate方法，传递参数resource,root.

那我们接着看下LayoutInflater中的inflate方法。LayoutInflater中有好几个inflate方法，但是最终调用的都是下边这个方法，所以我们主要分析下边这个方法。

/**
     * Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified XML node. Throws
     * {@link InflateException} if there is an error.
     * <p>
     * <em><strong>Important</strong></em>   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.

    }

我们首先看下这几个参数

• XmlPullParser parser：我们传过来的resourceid被转化成XmlPullParser对象，用于解析布局。
• ViewGroup root：这个传进的是一个ViewGroup对象，当attachToRoot为true的时候，root就是当前inflate方法返回view的父view，当attachToRoot为false的时候，root就是一个普通的view，用来帮助决定inflate方法返回view的LayoutParams，这块不理解的话，可以看下view的绘制流程，子view的大小是由父view的measurespec和子view的宽高值决定的。
• boolean attachToRoot，这个就是上边说的，用来决定inflate返回的view跟root是否存在父子布局关系。true表示存在父子关系，系统会将inflate方法返回的view添加到root的子view里。false不添加。

三个参数都明白了，我们在使用inflate方法时，parser参数是保证要传递的，因为我们要新建一个view保证是要有布局支撑的，root可以为null，但是如果为null就代表inflate返回的view没有容器支撑，那么parser布局你写的宽高等数值可能不会起作用，所以必须传一个root容器，attachToRoot当你想创建的view直接为root的子view就设置为true，如果你想创建的view只是需要一个容器，那么就设置attachToRoot为false。

总结

以上基本把LayoutInflater类的inflate方法分析完了。其实View.inflate调用的还是LayoutInflater中的inflate方法，只是attachToRoot的值被默认设置为false，那么说到头来用哪个方法都是一样的，看我们传参的需求，选择最方便的方式即可。
