Android ClassLoader浅析

前言

最近在看Tinker的原理，发现核心是通过ClassLoader做的，由于之前也从未接触过ClassLoader趁着上周末看了安卓ClassLoader相关源码，这里分享一发安卓的ClassLoader和热更新的实现原理。

ClassLoader

首先我们要知道，程序在运行时要把对应的类加载到内存，在安卓上来说就是把Dex文件中的类加载到内存，这个加载流程是通过ClassLoader实现的。因此如果我们想要动态加载自己的类，就得从ClassLoader上做文章，那么接下我们先看看安卓的ClassLoader。

public abstract class ClassLoader {
   
    private ClassLoader(Void unused, ClassLoader parent) {
   
        this.parent = parent;
    }
    
    protected ClassLoader(ClassLoader parent) {
   
        this(checkCreateClassLoader(), parent);
    }
    
    protected ClassLoader() {
   
        this(checkCreateClassLoader(), getSystemClassLoader());
    }
    
    public static ClassLoader getSystemClassLoader() {
   
        return SystemClassLoader.loader;
    }
    
    static private class SystemClassLoader {
   
        public static ClassLoader loader = ClassLoader.createSystemClassLoader();
    }
    
    private static ClassLoader createSystemClassLoader() {
   
        String classPath = System.getProperty("java.class.path", ".");
        String librarySearchPath = System.getProperty("java.library.path", "");

        return new PathClassLoader(classPath, librarySearchPath, BootClassLoader.getInstance());
    }
    
    public Class<?> loadClass(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException {
   
        return loadClass(name, false);
    }
    
    protected Class<?> loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)
        throws ClassNotFoundException
    {
   
            // First, check if the class has already been loaded
            Class<?> c = findLoadedClass(name);
            if (c == null) {
   
                try {
   
                    if (parent != null) {
   
                        c = parent.loadClass
