Butter Knife框架源码解析
最初的开始，findViewById()获取View控件，setOnClickListener设置View的监听事件，然后UI界面开始有响应。当初完成这个操作，有点兴奋，而这也成为我Android开发的起点。随着时间的推移，android也越来越熟悉，findViewById和setOnClickListener不知写了多少遍，偶发现有好大一部分时间，就是在写findViewById获取变量。针对这问题，在网络上发现了Jake Wharton大神的Butterknife开源框架，后用之，节约了很多时间。本篇博文将会对Butterknife源码进行解析。
一、什么是Butterknife？
Butterknife，是专门为Android View设计的绑定注解框架，专业解放各种findViewById和setOnClickListener。

二、Butterknife源码解析
1.Butterknife绑定分析
public class FeedbackActivity extends Activity{
@BindView(R.id.mContentEdit)
EditText mContentEdit;
@BindView(R.id.mSubmitBtn)//1.View注解
TextView mSubmitBtn;
@BindView(R.id.mContentCountTv)
TextView mContentCountTv;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_feedback);
ButterKnife.bind(this);//3.与Activity绑定
}
@OnClick(R.id.mSubmitBtn)//2.View监听事件注解
public void onClick() {
}
}由1知，@BindView注解FeedbackActivity的3个View变量，由2知，@OnClick注解View的监听事件。然而这三个变量和监听事件，是怎么和FeedbackActivity关联起来的呢？这里就需要我们注意3与Activity的绑定，即ButterKnife.bind(this)方法。进入ButterKnife源码看看。
/**
* BindView annotated fields and methods in the specified {@link Activity}. The current content
* view is used as the view root.
*
* @param target Target activity for view binding.
*/
@NonNull @UiThread
public static Unbinder bind(@NonNull Activity target) {
View sourceView = target.getWindow().getDecorView();
return createBinding(target, sourceView);
}ButterKnife中bind有多个重载，针对View，Dialog，Activtiy等，具体可以自行查看ButterKnife源码，这里主要针对Activity。我们继续看createBinding方法,
private static Unbinder createBinding(@NonNull Object target, @NonNull View source) {
Class targetClass = target.getClass();
if (debug) Log.d(TAG, "Looking up binding for " + targetClass.getName());
Constructor constructor = findBindingConstructorForClass(targetClass);//查找辅助绑定类的构造方法
if (constructor == null) {
return Unbinder.EMPTY;
}
//noinspection TryWithIdenticalCatches Resolves to API 19+ only type.
try {
return constructor.newInstance(target, source);//初始化了构造方法
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to invoke " + constructor, e);
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to invoke " + constructor, e);
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
Throwable cause = e.getCause();
if (cause instanceof RuntimeException) {
throw (RuntimeException) cause;
}
if (cause instanceof Error) {
throw (Error) cause;
}
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to create binding instance.", cause);
}
}findBindingConstructorForClass()通过传入目标类即Activity，查找辅助绑定类的构造方法。继续看findBindingConstructorForClass()方法
@Nullable @CheckResult @UiThread
private static Constructor findBindingConstructorForClass(Class cls) {
Constructor bindingCtor = BINDINGS.get(cls);
if (bindingCtor != null) {
if (debug) Log.d(TAG, "HIT: Cached in binding map.");
return bindingCtor;
}
String clsName = cls.getName();//获取绑定类的name
if (clsName.startsWith("android.") || clsName.startsWith("java.")) {
if (debug) Log.d(TAG, "MISS: Reached framework class. Abandoning search.");
return null;
}
try {
Class bindingClass = cls.getClassLoader().loadClass(clsName + "_ViewBinding");//核心方法，通过反射加载类"FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding"
//noinspection unchecked
bindingCtor = (Constructor) bindingClass.getConstructor(cls, View.class);//获取"FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding"构造函数，
if (debug) Log.d(TAG, "HIT: Loaded binding class and constructor.");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
if (debug) Log.d(TAG, "Not found. Trying superclass " + cls.getSuperclass().getName());
bindingCtor = findBindingConstructorForClass(cls.getSuperclass());
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to find binding constructor for " + clsName, e);
}
BINDINGS.put(cls, bindingCtor);
return bindingCtor;//返回绑定类的构造函数，初始化
}通过反射加载FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding类，而FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding类到底像啥样呢？这里我们可以先看一下此类,后面将会分析此类怎么生成。
public class FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding<T extends FeedbackActivity> implements Unbinder {
protected T target;
private View view2131624065;
@UiThread
public FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding(final T target, View source) {
this.target = target;
View view;
target.mContentEdit = Utils.findRequiredViewAsType(source, R.id.mContentEdit, "field 'mContentEdit'", EditText.class);
view = Utils.findRequiredView(source, R.id.mSubmitBtn, "field 'mSubmitBtn' and method 'onClick'");
target.mSubmitBtn = Utils.castView(view, R.id.mSubmitBtn, "field 'mSubmitBtn'", TextView.class);
view2131624065 = view;
view.setOnClickListener(new DebouncingOnClickListener() {
@Override
public void doClick(View p0) {
target.onClick();
}
});
target.mContentCountTv = Utils.findRequiredViewAsType(source, R.id.mContentCountTv, "field 'mContentCountTv'", TextView.class);
}
...省略...
}其中findRequiredViewAsType和findRequiredView方法皆是Utils的方法，我们查看Utils方法可以知道，两个方法最后都调了findViewById方法,从而就绑定了注解的View变量，绑定View监听事件。
public static T findRequiredViewAsType(View source, @IdRes int id, String who,
Class cls) {
View view = findRequiredView(source, id, who);
return castView(view, id, who, cls);
}
public static View findRequiredView(View source, @IdRes int id, String who) {
View view = source.findViewById(id);
if (view != null) {
return view;
}
String name = getResourceEntryName(source, id);
throw new IllegalStateException("Required view '"
+ name
+ "' with ID "
+ id
+ " for "
+ who
+ " was not found. If this view is optional add '@Nullable' (fields) or '@Optional'"
+ " (methods) annotation.");
} 到这里，ButterKnife的绑定流程就介绍完了。ButterKnife主要就是通过注解，然后生成一个辅助类动态绑定View,解放开发者。下面我们将会分析辅助类FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding的生成。
2.Butterknife辅助类的生成
由上，我们知Butterknife框架是用注解的方式实现的，注解的实现方式，很容易让我们想到通过Java反射机制实现，但是我们知道如果通过反射，是在运行时（Runtime）来处理View的绑定等一些列事件，这样比较耗费资源，会影响应用的性能。Butterknife框架没有用java反射机制，而是使用APT(Annotation Processing Tool)编译时解析技术。提到APT，我们就必须要了解AbstractProcessor类，通过继承此类，编译器在编译的时候，会扫描所有带有你注解的类，然后再调用AbstractProcessor的process方法，对注解进行处理，然后生成相关的辅助类，如上FeedbackActivity_ViewBinding。
在Butterknife框架中ButterKnifeProcessor继承了AbstractProcessor，所以我们重点来关注一下ButterKnifeProcessor的process方法
@Override public boolean process(Set elements, RoundEnvironment env) {
Map bindingMap = findAndParseTargets(env);//1.核心方法
for (Map.Entry entry : bindingMap.entrySet()) {
TypeElement typeElement = entry.getKey();
BindingSet binding = entry.getValue();
JavaFile javaFile = binding.brewJava(sdk, debuggable);//2.核心方法
try {
javaFile.writeTo(filer);//3.核心方法
} catch (IOException e) {
error(typeElement, "Unable to write binding for type %s: %s", typeElement, e.getMessage());
}
}
return false;
} 通过遍历bindingMap，再利用JavaFile，就可以生成辅助类了。在Map中TypeElement为key,BindingSet为值，TypeElement和BindingSet两个类在Butterknife框架中都是辅助生成辅助类的方法。BindingSet对辅助类的生成起到非常重要的作用，类名，变量，方法名各种信息都是储存在BindingSet类中。这里不重讲了。让我们继续分析findAndParseTargets方法。
private Map findAndParseTargets(RoundEnvironment env) {
Map builderMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
Set erasedTargetNames = new LinkedHashSet<>();
scanForRClasses(env);//1.扫描所有注解类
.........//省略的内容雷同BindView注解
// Process each @BindView element.
for (Element element : env.getElementsAnnotatedWith(BindView.class)) {//2.遍历有@BindView注解的类
// we don't SuperficialValidation.validateElement(element)
// so that an unresolved View type can be generated by later processing rounds
try {
parseBindView(element, builderMap, erasedTargetNames);//3.解析@BindView注解类
} catch (Exception e) {
logParsingError(element, BindView.class, e);
}
}
.........//省略的内容雷同BindView注解
// Process each annotation that corresponds to a listener.
for (Class listener : LISTENERS) {//4.遍历监听事件注解类
findAndParseListener(env, listener, builderMap, erasedTargetNames);
}
// Associate superclass binders with their subclass binders. This is a queue-based tree walk
// which starts at the roots (superclasses) and walks to the leafs (subclasses).
Deque> entries =
new ArrayDeque<>(builderMap.entrySet());
Map bindingMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
while (!entries.isEmpty()) {
Map.Entry entry = entries.removeFirst();
TypeElement type = entry.getKey();
BindingSet.Builder builder = entry.getValue();
TypeElement parentType = findParentType(type, erasedTargetNames);
if (parentType == null) {
bindingMap.put(type, builder.build());
} else {
BindingSet parentBinding = bindingMap.get(parentType);
if (parentBinding != null) {
builder.setParent(parentBinding);
bindingMap.put(type, builder.build());
} else {
// Has a superclass binding but we haven't built it yet. Re-enqueue for later.
entries.addLast(entry);
}
}
}
return bindingMap;
}
方法scanForRClasses，主要是扫描所有类，区分注解类。这里不重点讲了。拿到@BindView的注解类后，遍历，然后通过parseBindView方法解析，我们继续看parseBindView方法
private void parseBindView(Element element, Map builderMap,
Set erasedTargetNames) {
TypeElement enclosingElement = (TypeElement) element.getEnclosingElement();
.......//省略代码，主要检测注解的合法性，这里不介绍
if (hasError) {
return;
}
// Assemble information on the field.
int id = element.getAnnotation(BindView.class).value();//1.获取注解值，相当于获取view ID（R.id.mSubmitBtn）
BindingSet.Builder builder = builderMap.get(enclosingElement);//2.builderMap中获取BindingSet.Builder
QualifiedId qualifiedId = elementToQualifiedId(element, id);
if (builder != null) {//3.builder是否为空
String existingBindingName = builder.findExistingBindingName(getId(qualifiedId));
if (existingBindingName != null) {//4.检测是否重复绑定
error(element, "Attempt to use @%s for an already bound ID %d on '%s'. (%s.%s)",
BindView.class.getSimpleName(), id, existingBindingName,
enclosingElement.getQualifiedName(), element.getSimpleName());
return;
}
} else {
builder = getOrCreateBindingBuilder(builderMap, enclosingElement);//5.为空，需要重新get或生成一个新的BindingSet.Builder
}
String name = simpleName.toString();
TypeName type = TypeName.get(elementType);
boolean required = isFieldRequired(element);
builder.addField(getId(qualifiedId), new FieldViewBinding(name, type, required));//6.往Builder中添加新值
// Add the type-erased version to the valid binding targets set.
erasedTargetNames.add(enclosingElement);
} 第一次，一般都为空值，所以会执行getOrCreateBindingBuilder(builderMap, enclosingElement)方法，其中传入了BuilderMap和enclosingElement,我们继续来看方法getOrCreateBindingBuilder
private BindingSet.Builder getOrCreateBindingBuilder(
Map builderMap, TypeElement enclosingElement) {
BindingSet.Builder builder = builderMap.get(enclosingElement);
if (builder == null) {
builder = BindingSet.newBuilder(enclosingElement);
builderMap.put(enclosingElement, builder);
}
return builder;
} 其中，再次判断了builderMap中是否已存在BindingSet.Builder，不存在就新建，通过BindingSet.newBuilder(enclosingElement)方法，让我继续看BindingSet中newBuilder方法
static Builder newBuilder(TypeElement enclosingElement) {
TypeMirror typeMirror = enclosingElement.asType();
boolean isView = isSubtypeOfType(typeMirror, VIEW_TYPE);
boolean isActivity = isSubtypeOfType(typeMirror, ACTIVITY_TYPE);
boolean isDialog = isSubtypeOfType(typeMirror, DIALOG_TYPE);
TypeName targetType = TypeName.get(typeMirror);
if (targetType instanceof ParameterizedTypeName) {
targetType = ((ParameterizedTypeName) targetType).rawType;
}
String packageName = getPackage(enclosingElement).getQualifiedName().toString();
String className = enclosingElement.getQualifiedName().toString().substring(
packageName.length() + 1).replace('.', '$');
ClassName bindingClassName = ClassName.get(packageName, className + "_ViewBinding");//辅助类的类名
boolean isFinal = enclosingElement.getModifiers().contains(Modifier.FINAL);
return new Builder(targetType, bindingClassName, isFinal, isView, isActivity, isDialog);
}上面说到BindingSet对辅助类的生成起到非常重要的作用，这里生成了辅助类的类名，并保存在bindingSet.builder中，最后put入了builderMap中。在解析的过程中，BindingSet的都伴随左右，可以看出她在ButterKnifeProcessor类中的重要性。到这里我们在回溯一下。
1.BindingSet.newBuilder(enclosingElement) 生成类名及相关类型定义 -> 2.BuilderMap.put(enclosingElement, builder) put入BuilderMap中 ->3.builderMap.get(enclosingElement)获取BindingSet.builder -> 4.builder.addField(getId(qualifiedId), new FieldViewBinding(name, type, required))往Builder中添加注解值 ->BuilderMap转换成BindingMap; -> 遍历BindingMap -> bindingSet.brewJava(sdk, debuggable).write(filter)生成辅助类。
到这里，Butterknife框架生成辅助类，就讲解的差不多了。其中核心原理就是利用BindingSet类强大的类构建能力，生成相关类名，方法和核心代码。对于BindingSet具体是怎么生成辅助类的，想深入了解的朋友也可以下载ButterKnife源码对BindingSet进行深度了解，这里主要介绍ButterKnife框架原理。
三、总结
通过了解Butterknife框架，知其思想真是值得称赞。注解绑定一下，就告别重复的findViewById等方法，节约了开发时间，提高了效率。
