Android activity 启动过程

1. 最近很纠结与Context这个东西，翻来覆去很是想了解它，但它就是给很多东西给掩盖了，怎么也发现不了它的真面目，但最终在activity的启动过程中，对它有了一定的了解，先说Activity的启动。

2. Activity的启动：

分两个方向来说：

A. 调用Activity的地方

无非是启动快捷键或在别的地方调用startActivity函数，

经过Activity的startActivityForResult

    public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int requestCode) {
        if (mParent == null) {
            Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
                mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(    //调用
                    this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
                    intent, requestCode);
            if (ar != null) {
                mMainThread.sendActivityResult(
                    mToken, mEmbeddedID, requestCode, ar.getResultCode(),
                    ar.getResultData());
            }
            if (requestCode >= 0) {
                // If this start is requesting a result, we can avoid making
                // the activity visible until the result is received.  Setting
                // this code during onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) or onResume() will keep the
                // activity hidden during this time, to avoid flickering.
                // This can only be done when a result is requested because
                // that guarantees we will get information back when the
                // activity is finished, no matter what happens to it.
                mStartedActivity = true;
            }
        } else {
            mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode);
        }
    }

调用：

Instrumentation的execStartActivity

    public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
        Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
        Intent intent, int requestCode) {
        IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
        if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
            synchronized (mSync) {
                final int N = mActivityMonitors.size();
                for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
                    final ActivityMonitor am = mActivityMonitors.get(i);
                    if (am.match(who, null, intent)) {
                        am.mHits++;
                        if (am.isBlocking()) {
                            return requestCode >= 0 ? am.getResult() : null;
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        try {
            int result = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
                .startActivity(whoThread, intent,            //调用ActivityManagerProxy的startActivity
                        intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
                        null, 0, token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
                        requestCode, false, false);
            checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
        } catch (RemoteException e) {
        }
        return null;
    }

调用ActivityManagerProxy中的：

    public int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, Intent intent,
            String resolvedType, Uri[] grantedUriPermissions, int grantedMode,
            IBinder resultTo, String resultWho,
            int requestCode, boolean onlyIfNeeded,
            boolean debug) throws RemoteException {
        Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
        Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain();
        data.writeInterfaceToken(IActivityManager.descriptor);
        data.writeStrongBinder(caller != null ? caller.asBinder() : null);
        intent.writeToParcel(data, 0);
        data.writeString(resolvedType);
        data.writeTypedArray(grantedUriPermissions, 0);
        data.writeInt(grantedMode);
        data.writeStrongBinder(resultTo);
        data.writeString(resultWho);
        data.writeInt(requestCode);
        data.writeInt(onlyIfNeeded ? 1 : 0);
        data.writeInt(debug ? 1 : 0);
        mRemote.transact(START_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);
        reply.readException();
        int result = reply.readInt();
        reply.recycle();
        data.recycle();
        return result;
    }

写不下去了，又有两个新问题！
