Activity启动流程
1、通常启动activity我们都会调用context.startActivity(intent)方法，当context是activity时此方法最终会执行activity类的以下方法：
public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode,
@Nullable Bundle options) {
if (mParent == null) {
options = transferSpringboardActivityOptions(options);
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
intent, requestCode, options);
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;
}
cancelInputsAndStartExitTransition(options);
// TODO Consider clearing/flushing other event sources and events for child windows.
} else {
if (options != null) {
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this method for compatibility with
// existing applications that may have overridden it.
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode);
}
}
}
当context是ContextImpl或其继承类时，最终会执行以下方法：
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent, Bundle options) {
warnIfCallingFromSystemProcess();
// Calling start activity from outside an activity without FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is
// generally not allowed, except if the caller specifies the task id the activity should
// be launched in.
if ((intent.getFlags()&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) == 0
&& options != null && ActivityOptions.fromBundle(options).getLaunchTaskId() == -1) {
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(
"Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity "
+ " context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag."
+ " Is this really what you want?");
}
mMainThread.getInstrumentation().execStartActivity(
getOuterContext(), mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), null,
(Activity) null, intent, -1, options);
}
两种方法启动activity的核心代码其实都是Instrumentation类的execStartActivity方法，最终都是通知系统的Activity管理服务继续进行activity创建：
/**
* Execute a startActivity call made by the application. The default
* implementation takes care of updating any active {@link ActivityMonitor}
* objects and dispatches this call to the system activity manager; you can
* override this to watch for the application to start an activity, and
* modify what happens when it does.
*
* This method returns an {@link ActivityResult} object, which you can
* use when intercepting application calls to avoid performing the start
* activity action but still return the result the application is
* expecting. To do this, override this method to catch the call to start
* activity so that it returns a new ActivityResult containing the results
* you would like the application to see, and don't call up to the super
* class. Note that an application is only expecting a result if
* requestCode is >= 0.
*
*
This method throws {@link android.content.ActivityNotFoundException}
* if there was no Activity found to run the given Intent.
*
* @param who The Context from which the activity is being started.
* @param contextThread The main thread of the Context from which the activity
* is being started.
* @param token Internal token identifying to the system who is starting
* the activity; may be null.
* @param target Which activity is performing the start (and thus receiving
* any result); may be null if this call is not being made
* from an activity.
* @param intent The actual Intent to start.
* @param requestCode Identifier for this request's result; less than zero
* if the caller is not expecting a result.
* @param options Addition options.
*
* @return To force the return of a particular result, return an
* ActivityResult object containing the desired data; otherwise
* return null. The default implementation always returns null.
*
* @throws android.content.ActivityNotFoundException
*
* @see Activity#startActivity(Intent)
* @see Activity#startActivityForResult(Intent, int)
* @see Activity#startActivityFromChild
*
* {@hide}
*/
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
Uri referrer = target != null ? target.onProvideReferrer() : null;
if (referrer != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER, referrer);
}
if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
synchronized (mSync) {
final int N = mActivityMonitors.size();
for (int i=0; i= 0 ? am.getResult() : null;
}
break;
}
}
}
}
try {
intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(who);
int result = ActivityManager.getService()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failure from system", e);
}
return null;
}
2、既然Activity的启动追溯到了系统服务，那么系统服务又是如何控制应用进程创建activity的呢？这就要追溯到调用远程服务启动activity时传入的接口参数：
image.png
whoThread是ApplicationThread类的实例化对象，而ApplicationThread类继承aidl的接口，由系统服务远程调度对应方法，进而控制进程内主线程的执行。例如在启动一个activity时，ActivityManager会将ApplicationThread唯一对象传递到activity管理服务端，然后管理服务端进而控制进程activity的生命周期，此处给出与activity有关的部分代码：
private class ApplicationThread extends IApplicationThread.Stub {
private static final String DB_INFO_FORMAT = " %8s %8s %14s %14s %s";
private int mLastProcessState = -1;
public final void schedulePauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished,
boolean userLeaving, int configChanges, boolean dontReport) {
int seq = getLifecycleSeq();
if (DEBUG_ORDER) Slog.d(TAG, "pauseActivity " + ActivityThread.this
+ " operation received seq: " + seq);
sendMessage(
finished ? H.PAUSE_ACTIVITY_FINISHING : H.PAUSE_ACTIVITY,
token,
(userLeaving ? USER_LEAVING : 0) | (dontReport ? DONT_REPORT : 0),
configChanges,
seq);
}
public final void scheduleStopActivity(IBinder token, boolean showWindow,
int configChanges) {
int seq = getLifecycleSeq();
if (DEBUG_ORDER) Slog.d(TAG, "stopActivity " + ActivityThread.this
+ " operation received seq: " + seq);
sendMessage(
showWindow ? H.STOP_ACTIVITY_SHOW : H.STOP_ACTIVITY_HIDE,
token, 0, configChanges, seq);
}
public final void scheduleWindowVisibility(IBinder token, boolean showWindow) {
sendMessage(
showWindow ? H.SHOW_WINDOW : H.HIDE_WINDOW,
token);
}
public final void scheduleResumeActivity(IBinder token, int processState,
boolean isForward, Bundle resumeArgs) {
int seq = getLifecycleSeq();
if (DEBUG_ORDER) Slog.d(TAG, "resumeActivity " + ActivityThread.this
+ " operation received seq: " + seq);
updateProcessState(processState, false);
sendMessage(H.RESUME_ACTIVITY, token, isForward ? 1 : 0, 0, seq);
}
// we use token to identify this activity without having to send the
// activity itself back to the activity manager. (matters more with ipc)
@Override
public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, int ident,

}
public final void scheduleNewIntent(

sendMessage(H.NEW_INTENT, data);
}
public final void scheduleDestroyActivity(IBinder token, boolean finishing,

}

}
}
由上面的接口可以看出，activity的创建生命周期其实都是由系统服务所控制的，目前我们没有查看系统服务相关源码，无法得知这些接口的触发条件，所以暂时知道进程中activity生命周期的触发点就可以了。上面这些方法的实现最终都是调用sendMessage方法，对于这个方法我们其实都不陌生，就是handler的常用方式。而这个handler被命名为H，绑定在了主线程，所以activity的生命周期等方法都是跑在了这个Handler里面，也就是生命周期跑在主线程的原因。下面依旧是截取H类中有关activity的方法：
final H mH = new H();
private void sendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1, int arg2, int seq) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) Slog.v(
TAG, "SCHEDULE " + mH.codeToString(what) + " arg1=" + arg1 + " arg2=" + arg2 +
"seq= " + seq);
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
SomeArgs args = SomeArgs.obtain();
args.arg1 = obj;
args.argi1 = arg1;
args.argi2 = arg2;
args.argi3 = seq;
msg.obj = args;
mH.sendMessage(msg);
}
private class H extends Handler {

3、我们以LAUNCH_ACTIVITY分支为例进入进程中Activity创建第一步的分析；
case LAUNCH_ACTIVITY: {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "activityStart");
final ActivityClientRecord r = (ActivityClientRecord) msg.obj;
r.packageInfo = getPackageInfoNoCheck(
r.activityInfo.applicationInfo, r.compatInfo);
handleLaunchActivity(r, null, "LAUNCH_ACTIVITY");
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
} break;
沿着代码继续往下读，可以看到activity创建的关键代码在handleLaunchActivity方法中：
private void handleLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent, String reason) {
// If we are getting ready to gc after going to the background, well
// we are back active so skip it.
unscheduleGcIdler();
mSomeActivitiesChanged = true;
if (r.profilerInfo != null) {
mProfiler.setProfiler(r.profilerInfo);
mProfiler.startProfiling();
}
// Make sure we are running with the most recent config.
handleConfigurationChanged(null, null);
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
TAG, "Handling launch of " + r);
// Initialize before creating the activity
WindowManagerGlobal.initialize();
Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);
if (a != null) {
r.createdConfig = new Configuration(mConfiguration);
reportSizeConfigurations(r);
Bundle oldState = r.state;
handleResumeActivity(r.token, false, r.isForward,
!r.activity.mFinished && !r.startsNotResumed, r.lastProcessedSeq, reason);
if (!r.activity.mFinished && r.startsNotResumed) {
// The activity manager actually wants this one to start out paused, because it
// needs to be visible but isn't in the foreground. We accomplish this by going
// through the normal startup (because activities expect to go through onResume()
// the first time they run, before their window is displayed), and then pausing it.
// However, in this case we do -not- need to do the full pause cycle (of freezing
// and such) because the activity manager assumes it can just retain the current
// state it has.
performPauseActivityIfNeeded(r, reason);
// We need to keep around the original state, in case we need to be created again.
// But we only do this for pre-Honeycomb apps, which always save their state when
// pausing, so we can not have them save their state when restarting from a paused
// state. For HC and later, we want to (and can) let the state be saved as the
// normal part of stopping the activity.
if (r.isPreHoneycomb()) {
r.state = oldState;
}
}
} else {
// If there was an error, for any reason, tell the activity manager to stop us.
try {
ActivityManager.getService()
.finishActivity(r.token, Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null,
Activity.DONT_FINISH_TASK_WITH_ACTIVITY);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
}
上面代码中比较关键的两个方法是performLaunchActivity和handleResumeActivity，继续研读里面的代码就可以看到Activity生命周期中onCreate、onStart和onResume等方法的调用时机。
通过以上源码的追溯，目前大概可以给出一个activity启动的流程图：
