Android应用程序启动过程源代码分析
前文简要介绍了Android应用程序的Activity的启动过程。在Android系统中，应用程序是由Activity组成的，因此，应用程序的启动过程实际上就是应用程序中的默认Activity的启动过程，本文将详细分析应用程序框架层的源代码，了解Android应用程序的启动过程。
《Android系统源代码情景分析》一书正在进击的程序员网（http://0xcc0xcd.com）中连载，点击进入！
在上一篇文章Android应用程序的Activity启动过程简要介绍和学习计划中，我们举例子说明了启动Android应用程序中的Activity的两种情景，其中，在手机屏幕中点击应用程序图标的情景就会引发Android应用程序中的默认Activity的启动，从而把应用程序启动起来。这种启动方式的特点是会启动一个新的进程来加载相应的Activity。这里，我们继续以这个例子为例来说明Android应用程序的启动过程，即MainActivity的启动过程。
MainActivity的启动过程如下图所示：

下面详细分析每一步是如何实现的。
Step 1. Launcher.startActivitySafely
在Android系统中，应用程序是由Launcher启动起来的，其实，Launcher本身也是一个应用程序，其它的应用程序安装后，就会Launcher的界面上出现一个相应的图标，点击这个图标时，Launcher就会对应的应用程序启动起来。
Launcher的源代码工程在packages/apps/Launcher2目录下，负责启动其它应用程序的源代码实现在src/com/android/launcher2/Launcher.java文件中：
/**
* Default launcher application.
*/
public final class Launcher extends Activity
implements View.OnClickListener, OnLongClickListener, LauncherModel.Callbacks, AllAppsView.Watcher {
......
/**
* Launches the intent referred by the clicked shortcut.
*
* @param v The view representing the clicked shortcut.
*/
public void onClick(View v) {
Object tag = v.getTag();
if (tag instanceof ShortcutInfo) {
// Open shortcut
final Intent intent = ((ShortcutInfo) tag).intent;
int[] pos = new int[2];
v.getLocationOnScreen(pos);
intent.setSourceBounds(new Rect(pos[0], pos[1],
pos[0] + v.getWidth(), pos[1] + v.getHeight()));
startActivitySafely(intent, tag);
} else if (tag instanceof FolderInfo) {
......
} else if (v == mHandleView) {
......
}
}
void startActivitySafely(Intent intent, Object tag) {
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
try {
startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
......
} catch (SecurityException e) {
......
}
}
......
}
Step 2. Activity.startActivity
在Step 1中，我们看到，Launcher继承于Activity类，而Activity类实现了startActivity函数，因此，这里就调用了Activity.startActivity函数，它实现在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java文件中：
public class Activity extends ContextThemeWrapper
implements LayoutInflater.Factory,
Window.Callback, KeyEvent.Callback,
OnCreateContextMenuListener, ComponentCallbacks {
......
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
startActivityForResult(intent, -1);
}
......
}Step 3. Activity.startActivityForResult
这个函数也是实现在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java文件中：
public class Activity extends ContextThemeWrapper
implements LayoutInflater.Factory,
Window.Callback, KeyEvent.Callback,
OnCreateContextMenuListener, ComponentCallbacks {
......
public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int requestCode) {
if (mParent == null) {
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
intent, requestCode);
......
} else {
......
}
......
}这里的mMainThread也是Activity类的成员变量，它的类型是ActivityThread，它代表的是应用程序的主线程，我们在Android系统在新进程中启动自定义服务过程（startService）的原理分析一文中已经介绍过了。这里通过mMainThread.getApplicationThread获得它里面的ApplicationThread成员变量，它是一个Binder对象，后面我们会看到，ActivityManagerService会使用它来和ActivityThread来进行进程间通信。这里我们需注意的是，这里的mMainThread代表的是Launcher应用程序运行的进程。
这里的mToken也是Activity类的成员变量，它是一个Binder对象的远程接口。
Step 4. Instrumentation.execStartActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java文件中：
public class Instrumentation {
......
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode) {
IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
......
}
try {
int result = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
.startActivity(whoThread, intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
null, 0, token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, false, false);
......
} catch (RemoteException e) {
}
return null;
}
......
}这里的intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded返回这个intent的MIME类型，在这个例子中，没有AndroidManifest.xml设置MainActivity的MIME类型，因此，这里返回null。
这里的target不为null，但是target.mEmbddedID为null，我们不用关注。
Step 5. ActivityManagerProxy.startActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityManagerNative.java文件中：
class ActivityManagerProxy implements IActivityManager
{
......
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;
}
......
}Step 6. ActivityManagerService.startActivity
上一步Step 5通过Binder驱动程序就进入到ActivityManagerService的startActivity函数来了，它定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中：
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative
implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback {
......
public final int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, Uri[] grantedUriPermissions,
int grantedMode, IBinder resultTo,
String resultWho, int requestCode, boolean onlyIfNeeded,
boolean debug) {
return mMainStack.startActivityMayWait(caller, intent, resolvedType,
grantedUriPermissions, grantedMode, resultTo, resultWho,
requestCode, onlyIfNeeded, debug, null, null);
}
......
}Step 7. ActivityStack.startActivityMayWait
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
final int startActivityMayWait(IApplicationThread caller,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, Uri[] grantedUriPermissions,
int grantedMode, IBinder resultTo,
String resultWho, int requestCode, boolean onlyIfNeeded,
boolean debug, WaitResult outResult, Configuration config) {
......
boolean componentSpecified = intent.getComponent() != null;
// Don't modify the client's object!
intent = new Intent(intent);
// Collect information about the target of the Intent.
ActivityInfo aInfo;
try {
ResolveInfo rInfo =
AppGlobals.getPackageManager().resolveIntent(
intent, resolvedType,
PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY
| ActivityManagerService.STOCK_PM_FLAGS);
aInfo = rInfo != null ? rInfo.activityInfo : null;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
......
}
if (aInfo != null) {
// Store the found target back into the intent, because now that
// we have it we never want to do this again. For example, if the
// user navigates back to this point in the history, we should
// always restart the exact same activity.
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
aInfo.applicationInfo.packageName, aInfo.name));
......
}
synchronized (mService) {
int callingPid;
int callingUid;
if (caller == null) {
......
} else {
callingPid = callingUid = -1;
}
mConfigWillChange = config != null
&& mService.mConfiguration.diff(config) != 0;
......
if (mMainStack && aInfo != null &&
(aInfo.applicationInfo.flags&ApplicationInfo.FLAG_CANT_SAVE_STATE) != 0) {
......
}
int res = startActivityLocked(caller, intent, resolvedType,
grantedUriPermissions, grantedMode, aInfo,
resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, callingPid, callingUid,
onlyIfNeeded, componentSpecified);
if (mConfigWillChange && mMainStack) {
......
}
......
if (outResult != null) {
......
}
return res;
}
}
......
}下面语句对参数intent的内容进行解析，得到MainActivity的相关信息，保存在aInfo变量中：
ActivityInfo aInfo;
try {
ResolveInfo rInfo =
AppGlobals.getPackageManager().resolveIntent(
intent, resolvedType,
PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY
| ActivityManagerService.STOCK_PM_FLAGS);
aInfo = rInfo != null ? rInfo.activityInfo : null;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
......
}此外，函数开始的地方调用intent.getComponent()函数的返回值不为null，因此，这里的componentSpecified变量为true。
接下去就调用startActivityLocked进一步处理了。
Step 8. ActivityStack.startActivityLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
final int startActivityLocked(IApplicationThread caller,
Intent intent, String resolvedType,
Uri[] grantedUriPermissions,
int grantedMode, ActivityInfo aInfo, IBinder resultTo,
String resultWho, int requestCode,
int callingPid, int callingUid, boolean onlyIfNeeded,
boolean componentSpecified) {
int err = START_SUCCESS;
ProcessRecord callerApp = null;
if (caller != null) {
callerApp = mService.getRecordForAppLocked(caller);
if (callerApp != null) {
callingPid = callerApp.pid;
callingUid = callerApp.info.uid;
} else {
......
}
}
......
ActivityRecord sourceRecord = null;
ActivityRecord resultRecord = null;
if (resultTo != null) {
int index = indexOfTokenLocked(resultTo);
......
if (index >= 0) {
sourceRecord = (ActivityRecord)mHistory.get(index);
if (requestCode >= 0 && !sourceRecord.finishing) {
......
}
}
}
int launchFlags = intent.getFlags();
if ((launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT) != 0
&& sourceRecord != null) {
......
}
if (err == START_SUCCESS && intent.getComponent() == null) {
......
}
if (err == START_SUCCESS && aInfo == null) {
......
}
if (err != START_SUCCESS) {
......
}
......
ActivityRecord r = new ActivityRecord(mService, this, callerApp, callingUid,
intent, resolvedType, aInfo, mService.mConfiguration,
resultRecord, resultWho, requestCode, componentSpecified);
......
return startActivityUncheckedLocked(r, sourceRecord,
grantedUriPermissions, grantedMode, onlyIfNeeded, true);
}
......
} 前面说过，参数resultTo是Launcher这个Activity里面的一个Binder对象，通过它可以获得Launcher这个Activity的相关信息，保存在sourceRecord变量中。
再接下来，创建即将要启动的Activity的相关信息，并保存在r变量中：
ActivityRecord r = new ActivityRecord(mService, this, callerApp, callingUid,
intent, resolvedType, aInfo, mService.mConfiguration,
resultRecord, resultWho, requestCode, componentSpecified);Step 9. ActivityStack.startActivityUncheckedLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
final int startActivityUncheckedLocked(ActivityRecord r,
ActivityRecord sourceRecord, Uri[] grantedUriPermissions,
int grantedMode, boolean onlyIfNeeded, boolean doResume) {
final Intent intent = r.intent;
final int callingUid = r.launchedFromUid;
int launchFlags = intent.getFlags();
// We'll invoke onUserLeaving before onPause only if the launching
// activity did not explicitly state that this is an automated launch.
mUserLeaving = (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_USER_ACTION) == 0;
......
ActivityRecord notTop = (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP)
!= 0 ? r : null;
// If the onlyIfNeeded flag is set, then we can do this if the activity
// being launched is the same as the one making the call... or, as
// a special case, if we do not know the caller then we count the
// current top activity as the caller.
if (onlyIfNeeded) {
......
}
if (sourceRecord == null) {
......
} else if (sourceRecord.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) {
......
} else if (r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE
|| r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK) {
......
}
if (r.resultTo != null && (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) != 0) {
......
}
boolean addingToTask = false;
if (((launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) != 0 &&
(launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK) == 0)
|| r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK
|| r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) {
// If bring to front is requested, and no result is requested, and
// we can find a task that was started with this same
// component, then instead of launching bring that one to the front.
if (r.resultTo == null) {
// See if there is a task to bring to the front. If this is
// a SINGLE_INSTANCE activity, there can be one and only one
// instance of it in the history, and it is always in its own
// unique task, so we do a special search.
ActivityRecord taskTop = r.launchMode != ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE
? findTaskLocked(intent, r.info)
: findActivityLocked(intent, r.info);
if (taskTop != null) {
......
}
}
}
......
if (r.packageName != null) {
// If the activity being launched is the same as the one currently
// at the top, then we need to check if it should only be launched
// once.
ActivityRecord top = topRunningNonDelayedActivityLocked(notTop);
if (top != null && r.resultTo == null) {
if (top.realActivity.equals(r.realActivity)) {
......
}
}
} else {
......
}
boolean newTask = false;
// Should this be considered a new task?
if (r.resultTo == null && !addingToTask
&& (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) != 0) {
// todo: should do better management of integers.
mService.mCurTask++;
if (mService.mCurTask <= 0) {
mService.mCurTask = 1;
}
r.task = new TaskRecord(mService.mCurTask, r.info, intent,
(r.info.flags&ActivityInfo.FLAG_CLEAR_TASK_ON_LAUNCH) != 0);
......
newTask = true;
if (mMainStack) {
mService.addRecentTaskLocked(r.task);
}
} else if (sourceRecord != null) {
......
} else {
......
}
......
startActivityLocked(r, newTask, doResume);
return START_SUCCESS;
}
......
}这个intent的标志值的位Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_USER_ACTION没有置位，因此 ，成员变量mUserLeaving的值为true。
这个intent的标志值的位Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP也没有置位，因此，变量notTop的值为null。
由于在这个例子的AndroidManifest.xml文件中，MainActivity没有配置launchMode属值，因此，这里的r.launchMode为默认值0，表示以标准（Standard，或者称为ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_MULTIPLE）的方式来启动这个Activity。Activity的启动方式有四种，其余三种分别是ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE、ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK和ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TOP，具体可以参考官方网站http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo.html。
传进来的参数r.resultTo为null，表示Launcher不需要等这个即将要启动的MainActivity的执行结果。
由于这个intent的标志值的位Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK被置位，而且Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK没有置位，因此，下面的if语句会被执行：
if (((launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) != 0 &&
(launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK) == 0)
|| r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK
|| r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) {
// If bring to front is requested, and no result is requested, and
// we can find a task that was started with this same
// component, then instead of launching bring that one to the front.
if (r.resultTo == null) {
// See if there is a task to bring to the front. If this is
// a SINGLE_INSTANCE activity, there can be one and only one
// instance of it in the history, and it is always in its own
// unique task, so we do a special search.
ActivityRecord taskTop = r.launchMode != ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE
? findTaskLocked(intent, r.info)
: findActivityLocked(intent, r.info);
if (taskTop != null) {
......
}
}
}接着往下看：
if (r.packageName != null) {
// If the activity being launched is the same as the one currently
// at the top, then we need to check if it should only be launched
// once.
ActivityRecord top = topRunningNonDelayedActivityLocked(notTop);
if (top != null && r.resultTo == null) {
if (top.realActivity.equals(r.realActivity)) {
......
}
}
} 执行到这里，我们知道，要在一个新的Task里面来启动这个Activity了，于是新创建一个Task：
if (r.resultTo == null && !addingToTask
&& (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) != 0) {
// todo: should do better management of integers.
mService.mCurTask++;
if (mService.mCurTask <= 0) {
mService.mCurTask = 1;
}
r.task = new TaskRecord(mService.mCurTask, r.info, intent,
(r.info.flags&ActivityInfo.FLAG_CLEAR_TASK_ON_LAUNCH) != 0);
......
newTask = true;
if (mMainStack) {
mService.addRecentTaskLocked(r.task);
}
}最后就进入startActivityLocked(r, newTask, doResume)进一步处理了。这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
private final void startActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r, boolean newTask,
boolean doResume) {
final int NH = mHistory.size();
int addPos = -1;
if (!newTask) {
......
}
// Place a new activity at top of stack, so it is next to interact
// with the user.
if (addPos < 0) {
addPos = NH;
}
// If we are not placing the new activity frontmost, we do not want
// to deliver the onUserLeaving callback to the actual frontmost
// activity
if (addPos < NH) {
......
}
// Slot the activity into the history stack and proceed
mHistory.add(addPos, r);
r.inHistory = true;
r.frontOfTask = newTask;
r.task.numActivities++;
if (NH > 0) {
// We want to show the starting preview window if we are
// switching to a new task, or the next activity's process is
// not currently running.
......
} else {
// If this is the first activity, don't do any fancy animations,
// because there is nothing for it to animate on top of.
......
}
......
if (doResume) {
resumeTopActivityLocked(null);
}
}
......
}这里传进来的参数doResume为true，于是调用resumeTopActivityLocked进一步操作。
Step 10. Activity.resumeTopActivityLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
/**
* Ensure that the top activity in the stack is resumed.
*
* @param prev The previously resumed activity, for when in the process
* of pausing; can be null to call from elsewhere.
*
* @return Returns true if something is being resumed, or false if
* nothing happened.
*/
final boolean resumeTopActivityLocked(ActivityRecord prev) {
// Find the first activity that is not finishing.
ActivityRecord next = topRunningActivityLocked(null);
// Remember how we'll process this pause/resume situation, and ensure
// that the state is reset however we wind up proceeding.
final boolean userLeaving = mUserLeaving;
mUserLeaving = false;
if (next == null) {
......
}
next.delayedResume = false;
// If the top activity is the resumed one, nothing to do.
if (mResumedActivity == next && next.state == ActivityState.RESUMED) {
......
}
// If we are sleeping, and there is no resumed activity, and the top
// activity is paused, well that is the state we want.
if ((mService.mSleeping || mService.mShuttingDown)
&& mLastPausedActivity == next && next.state == ActivityState.PAUSED) {
......
}
......
// If we are currently pausing an activity, then don't do anything
// until that is done.
if (mPausingActivity != null) {
......
}
......
// We need to start pausing the current activity so the top one
// can be resumed...
if (mResumedActivity != null) {
......
startPausingLocked(userLeaving, false);
return true;
}
......
}
......
}接下来把mUserLeaving的保存在本地变量userLeaving中，然后重新设置为false，在上面的Step 9中，mUserLeaving的值为true，因此，这里的userLeaving为true。
这里的mResumedActivity为Launcher，因为Launcher是当前正被执行的Activity。
当我们处理休眠状态时，mLastPausedActivity保存堆栈顶端的Activity，因为当前不是休眠状态，所以mLastPausedActivity为null。
有了这些信息之后，下面的语句就容易理解了：
// If the top activity is the resumed one, nothing to do.
if (mResumedActivity == next && next.state == ActivityState.RESUMED) {
......
}
// If we are sleeping, and there is no resumed activity, and the top
// activity is paused, well that is the state we want.
if ((mService.mSleeping || mService.mShuttingDown)
&& mLastPausedActivity == next && next.state == ActivityState.PAUSED) {
......
}上面两个条件都不满足，因此，在继续往下执行之前，首先要把当处于Resumed状态的Activity推入Paused状态，然后才可以启动新的Activity。但是在将当前这个Resumed状态的Activity推入Paused状态之前，首先要看一下当前是否有Activity正在进入Pausing状态，如果有的话，当前这个Resumed状态的Activity就要稍后才能进入Paused状态了，这样就保证了所有需要进入Paused状态的Activity串行处理。
这里没有处于Pausing状态的Activity，即mPausingActivity为null，而且mResumedActivity也不为null，于是就调用startPausingLocked函数把Launcher推入Paused状态去了。
Step 11. ActivityStack.startPausingLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
private final void startPausingLocked(boolean userLeaving, boolean uiSleeping) {
if (mPausingActivity != null) {
......
}
ActivityRecord prev = mResumedActivity;
if (prev == null) {
......
}
......
mResumedActivity = null;
mPausingActivity = prev;
mLastPausedActivity = prev;
prev.state = ActivityState.PAUSING;
......
if (prev.app != null && prev.app.thread != null) {
......
try {
......
prev.app.thread.schedulePauseActivity(prev, prev.finishing, userLeaving,
prev.configChangeFlags);
......
} catch (Exception e) {
......
}
} else {
......
}
......
}
......
}函数首先把mResumedActivity保存在本地变量prev中。在上一步Step 10中，说到mResumedActivity就是Launcher，因此，这里把Launcher进程中的ApplicationThread对象取出来，通过它来通知Launcher这个Activity它要进入Paused状态了。当然，这里的prev.app.thread是一个ApplicationThread对象的远程接口，通过调用这个远程接口的schedulePauseActivity来通知Launcher进入Paused状态。
参数prev.finishing表示prev所代表的Activity是否正在等待结束的Activity列表中，由于Laucher这个Activity还没结束，所以这里为false；参数prev.configChangeFlags表示哪些config发生了变化，这里我们不关心它的值。
Step 12. ApplicationThreadProxy.schedulePauseActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ApplicationThreadNative.java文件中：
class ApplicationThreadProxy implements IApplicationThread {
......
public final void schedulePauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished,
boolean userLeaving, int configChanges) throws RemoteException {
Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
data.writeInterfaceToken(IApplicationThread.descriptor);
data.writeStrongBinder(token);
data.writeInt(finished ? 1 : 0);
data.writeInt(userLeaving ? 1 :0);
data.writeInt(configChanges);
mRemote.transact(SCHEDULE_PAUSE_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION, data, null,
IBinder.FLAG_ONEWAY);
data.recycle();
}
......
}这个函数通过Binder进程间通信机制进入到ApplicationThread.schedulePauseActivity函数中。
Step 13. ApplicationThread.schedulePauseActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中，它是ActivityThread的内部类：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final class ApplicationThread extends ApplicationThreadNative {
......
public final void schedulePauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished,
boolean userLeaving, int configChanges) {
queueOrSendMessage(
finished ? H.PAUSE_ACTIVITY_FINISHING : H.PAUSE_ACTIVITY,
token,
(userLeaving ? 1 : 0),
configChanges);
}
......
}
......
}上面说到，这里的finished值为false，因此，queueOrSendMessage的第一个参数值为H.PAUSE_ACTIVITY，表示要暂停token所代表的Activity，即Launcher。
Step 14. ActivityThread.queueOrSendMessage
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final void queueOrSendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1) {
queueOrSendMessage(what, obj, arg1, 0);
}
private final void queueOrSendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1, int arg2) {
synchronized (this) {
......
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
msg.obj = obj;
msg.arg1 = arg1;
msg.arg2 = arg2;
mH.sendMessage(msg);
}
}
......
}Step 15. H.handleMessage
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final class H extends Handler {
......
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
......
switch (msg.what) {
......
case PAUSE_ACTIVITY:
handlePauseActivity((IBinder)msg.obj, false, msg.arg1 != 0, msg.arg2);
maybeSnapshot();
break;
......
}
......
}
......
} 这里调用ActivityThread.handlePauseActivity进一步操作，msg.obj是一个ActivityRecord对象的引用，它代表的是Launcher这个Activity。
Step 16. ActivityThread.handlePauseActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final void handlePauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished,
boolean userLeaving, int configChanges) {
ActivityClientRecord r = mActivities.get(token);
if (r != null) {
//Slog.v(TAG, "userLeaving=" + userLeaving + " handling pause of " + r);
if (userLeaving) {
performUserLeavingActivity(r);
}
r.activity.mConfigChangeFlags |= configChanges;
Bundle state = performPauseActivity(token, finished, true);
// Make sure any pending writes are now committed.
QueuedWork.waitToFinish();
// Tell the activity manager we have paused.
try {
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().activityPaused(token, state);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
}
}
}
......
}Step 17. ActivityManagerProxy.activityPaused
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityManagerNative.java文件中：
class ActivityManagerProxy implements IActivityManager
{
......
public void activityPaused(IBinder token, Bundle state) throws RemoteException
{
Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain();
data.writeInterfaceToken(IActivityManager.descriptor);
data.writeStrongBinder(token);
data.writeBundle(state);
mRemote.transact(ACTIVITY_PAUSED_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);
reply.readException();
data.recycle();
reply.recycle();
}
......
}Step 18. ActivityManagerService.activityPaused
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中：
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative
implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback {
......
public final void activityPaused(IBinder token, Bundle icicle) {
......
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
mMainStack.activityPaused(token, icicle, false);
......
}
......
}Step 19. ActivityStack.activityPaused
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
final void activityPaused(IBinder token, Bundle icicle, boolean timeout) {
......
ActivityRecord r = null;
synchronized (mService) {
int index = indexOfTokenLocked(token);
if (index >= 0) {
r = (ActivityRecord)mHistory.get(index);
if (!timeout) {
r.icicle = icicle;
r.haveState = true;
}
mHandler.removeMessages(PAUSE_TIMEOUT_MSG, r);
if (mPausingActivity == r) {
r.state = ActivityState.PAUSED;
completePauseLocked();
} else {
......
}
}
}
}
......
}Step 20. ActivityStack.completePauseLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
private final void completePauseLocked() {
ActivityRecord prev = mPausingActivity;
......
if (prev != null) {
......
mPausingActivity = null;
}
if (!mService.mSleeping && !mService.mShuttingDown) {
resumeTopActivityLocked(prev);
} else {
......
}
......
}
......
} Step 21. ActivityStack.resumeTopActivityLokced
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
final boolean resumeTopActivityLocked(ActivityRecord prev) {
......
// Find the first activity that is not finishing.
ActivityRecord next = topRunningActivityLocked(null);
// Remember how we'll process this pause/resume situation, and ensure
// that the state is reset however we wind up proceeding.
final boolean userLeaving = mUserLeaving;
mUserLeaving = false;
......
next.delayedResume = false;
// If the top activity is the resumed one, nothing to do.
if (mResumedActivity == next && next.state == ActivityState.RESUMED) {
......
return false;
}
// If we are sleeping, and there is no resumed activity, and the top
// activity is paused, well that is the state we want.
if ((mService.mSleeping || mService.mShuttingDown)
&& mLastPausedActivity == next && next.state == ActivityState.PAUSED) {
......
return false;
}
.......
// We need to start pausing the current activity so the top one
// can be resumed...
if (mResumedActivity != null) {
......
return true;
}
......
if (next.app != null && next.app.thread != null) {
......
} else {
......
startSpecificActivityLocked(next, true, true);
}
return true;
}
......
} Step 22. ActivityStack.startSpecificActivityLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
private final void startSpecificActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r,
boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) {
// Is this activity's application already running?
ProcessRecord app = mService.getProcessRecordLocked(r.processName,
r.info.applicationInfo.uid);
......
if (app != null && app.thread != null) {
try {
realStartActivityLocked(r, app, andResume, checkConfig);
return;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
......
}
}
mService.startProcessLocked(r.processName, r.info.applicationInfo, true, 0,
"activity", r.intent.getComponent(), false);
}
......
}ProcessRecord app = mService.getProcessRecordLocked(r.processName,
r.info.applicationInfo.uid);函数最终执行ActivityManagerService.startProcessLocked函数进行下一步操作。
Step 23. ActivityManagerService.startProcessLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中：
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative
implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback {
......
final ProcessRecord startProcessLocked(String processName,
ApplicationInfo info, boolean knownToBeDead, int intentFlags,
String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName, boolean allowWhileBooting) {
ProcessRecord app = getProcessRecordLocked(processName, info.uid);
......
String hostingNameStr = hostingName != null
? hostingName.flattenToShortString() : null;
......
if (app == null) {
app = new ProcessRecordLocked(null, info, processName);
mProcessNames.put(processName, info.uid, app);
} else {
// If this is a new package in the process, add the package to the list
app.addPackage(info.packageName);
}
......
startProcessLocked(app, hostingType, hostingNameStr);
return (app.pid != 0) ? app : null;
}
......
}public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative
implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback {
......
private final void startProcessLocked(ProcessRecord app,
String hostingType, String hostingNameStr) {
......
try {
int uid = app.info.uid;
int[] gids = null;
try {
gids = mContext.getPackageManager().getPackageGids(
app.info.packageName);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
......
}
......
int debugFlags = 0;
......
int pid = Process.start("android.app.ActivityThread",
mSimpleProcessManagement ? app.processName : null, uid, uid,
gids, debugFlags, null);
......
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
......
}
}
......
}Step 24. ActivityThread.main
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final void attach(boolean system) {
......
mSystemThread = system;
if (!system) {
......
IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault();
try {
mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
}
} else {
......
}
}
......
public static final void main(String[] args) {
.......
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false);
......
Looper.loop();
.......
thread.detach();
......
}
}函数attach最终调用了ActivityManagerService的远程接口ActivityManagerProxy的attachApplication函数，传入的参数是mAppThread，这是一个ApplicationThread类型的Binder对象，它的作用是用来进行进程间通信的。
Step 25. ActivityManagerProxy.attachApplication
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityManagerNative.java文件中：
class ActivityManagerProxy implements IActivityManager
{
......
public void attachApplication(IApplicationThread app) throws RemoteException
{
Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain();
data.writeInterfaceToken(IActivityManager.descriptor);
data.writeStrongBinder(app.asBinder());
mRemote.transact(ATTACH_APPLICATION_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);
reply.readException();
data.recycle();
reply.recycle();
}
......
}Step 26. ActivityManagerService.attachApplication
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中：
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative
implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback {
......
public final void attachApplication(IApplicationThread thread) {
synchronized (this) {
int callingPid = Binder.getCallingPid();
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
attachApplicationLocked(thread, callingPid);
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
}
......
}Step 27. ActivityManagerService.attachApplicationLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中：
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative
implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback {
......
private final boolean attachApplicationLocked(IApplicationThread thread,
int pid) {
// Find the application record that is being attached... either via
// the pid if we are running in multiple processes, or just pull the
// next app record if we are emulating process with anonymous threads.
ProcessRecord app;
if (pid != MY_PID && pid >= 0) {
synchronized (mPidsSelfLocked) {
app = mPidsSelfLocked.get(pid);
}
} else if (mStartingProcesses.size() > 0) {
......
} else {
......
}
if (app == null) {
......
return false;
}
......
String processName = app.processName;
try {
thread.asBinder().linkToDeath(new AppDeathRecipient(
app, pid, thread), 0);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
......
return false;
}
......
app.thread = thread;
app.curAdj = app.setAdj = -100;
app.curSchedGroup = Process.THREAD_GROUP_DEFAULT;
app.setSchedGroup = Process.THREAD_GROUP_BG_NONINTERACTIVE;
app.forcingToForeground = null;
app.foregroundServices = false;
app.debugging = false;
......
boolean normalMode = mProcessesReady || isAllowedWhileBooting(app.info);
......
boolean badApp = false;
boolean didSomething = false;
// See if the top visible activity is waiting to run in this process...
ActivityRecord hr = mMainStack.topRunningActivityLocked(null);
if (hr != null && normalMode) {
if (hr.app == null && app.info.uid == hr.info.applicationInfo.uid
&& processName.equals(hr.processName)) {
try {
if (mMainStack.realStartActivityLocked(hr, app, true, true)) {
didSomething = true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
......
}
} else {
......
}
}
......
return true;
}
......
}在前面的Step 23中，已经创建了一个ProcessRecord，这里首先通过pid将它取回来，放在app变量中，然后对app的其它成员进行初始化，最后调用mMainStack.realStartActivityLocked执行真正的Activity启动操作。这里要启动的Activity通过调用mMainStack.topRunningActivityLocked(null)从堆栈顶端取回来，这时候在堆栈顶端的Activity就是MainActivity了。
Step 28. ActivityStack.realStartActivityLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack {
......
final boolean realStartActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r,
ProcessRecord app, boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig)
throws RemoteException {
......
r.app = app;
......
int idx = app.activities.indexOf(r);
if (idx < 0) {
app.activities.add(r);
}
......
try {
......
List results = null;
List newIntents = null;
if (andResume) {
results = r.results;
newIntents = r.newIntents;
}
......
app.thread.scheduleLaunchActivity(new Intent(r.intent), r,
System.identityHashCode(r),
r.info, r.icicle, results, newIntents, !andResume,
mService.isNextTransitionForward());
......
} catch (RemoteException e) {
......
}
......
return true;
}
......
} Step 29. ApplicationThreadProxy.scheduleLaunchActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ApplicationThreadNative.java文件中：
class ApplicationThreadProxy implements IApplicationThread {
......
public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, int ident,
ActivityInfo info, Bundle state, List pendingResults,
List pendingNewIntents, boolean notResumed, boolean isForward)
throws RemoteException {
Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
data.writeInterfaceToken(IApplicationThread.descriptor);
intent.writeToParcel(data, 0);
data.writeStrongBinder(token);
data.writeInt(ident);
info.writeToParcel(data, 0);
data.writeBundle(state);
data.writeTypedList(pendingResults);
data.writeTypedList(pendingNewIntents);
data.writeInt(notResumed ? 1 : 0);
data.writeInt(isForward ? 1 : 0);
mRemote.transact(SCHEDULE_LAUNCH_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION, data, null,
IBinder.FLAG_ONEWAY);
data.recycle();
}
......
} Step 30. ApplicationThread.scheduleLaunchActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final class ApplicationThread extends ApplicationThreadNative {
......
// we use token to identify this activity without having to send the
// activity itself back to the activity manager. (matters more with ipc)
public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, int ident,
ActivityInfo info, Bundle state, List pendingResults,
List pendingNewIntents, boolean notResumed, boolean isForward) {
ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord();
r.token = token;
r.ident = ident;
r.intent = intent;
r.activityInfo = info;
r.state = state;
r.pendingResults = pendingResults;
r.pendingIntents = pendingNewIntents;
r.startsNotResumed = notResumed;
r.isForward = isForward;
queueOrSendMessage(H.LAUNCH_ACTIVITY, r);
}
......
}
......
} Step 31. ActivityThread.queueOrSendMessage
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final class ApplicationThread extends ApplicationThreadNative {
......
// if the thread hasn't started yet, we don't have the handler, so just
// save the messages until we're ready.
private final void queueOrSendMessage(int what, Object obj) {
queueOrSendMessage(what, obj, 0, 0);
}
......
private final void queueOrSendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1, int arg2) {
synchronized (this) {
......
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
msg.obj = obj;
msg.arg1 = arg1;
msg.arg2 = arg2;
mH.sendMessage(msg);
}
}
......
}
......
}Step 32. H.handleMessage
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final class H extends Handler {
......
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
......
switch (msg.what) {
case LAUNCH_ACTIVITY: {
ActivityClientRecord r = (ActivityClientRecord)msg.obj;
r.packageInfo = getPackageInfoNoCheck(
r.activityInfo.applicationInfo);
handleLaunchActivity(r, null);
} break;
......
}
......
}
......
}Step 33. ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final void handleLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
......
Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);
if (a != null) {
r.createdConfig = new Configuration(mConfiguration);
Bundle oldState = r.state;
handleResumeActivity(r.token, false, r.isForward);
......
} else {
......
}
}
......
} Step 34. ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中：
public final class ActivityThread {
......
private final Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo;
if (r.packageInfo == null) {
r.packageInfo = getPackageInfo(aInfo.applicationInfo,
Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE);
}
ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent();
if (component == null) {
component = r.intent.resolveActivity(
mInitialApplication.getPackageManager());
r.intent.setComponent(component);
}
if (r.activityInfo.targetActivity != null) {
component = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName,
r.activityInfo.targetActivity);
}
Activity activity = null;
try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = r.packageInfo.getClassLoader();
activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity(
cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);
r.intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl);
if (r.state != null) {
r.state.setClassLoader(cl);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
......
}
try {
Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);
......
if (activity != null) {
ContextImpl appContext = new ContextImpl();
appContext.init(r.packageInfo, r.token, this);
appContext.setOuterContext(activity);
CharSequence title = r.activityInfo.loadLabel(appContext.getPackageManager());
Configuration config = new Configuration(mConfiguration);
......
activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token,
r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent,
r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstance,
r.lastNonConfigurationChildInstances, config);
if (customIntent != null) {
activity.mIntent = customIntent;
}
r.lastNonConfigurationInstance = null;
r.lastNonConfigurationChildInstances = null;
activity.mStartedActivity = false;
int theme = r.activityInfo.getThemeResource();
if (theme != 0) {
activity.setTheme(theme);
}
activity.mCalled = false;
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state);
......
r.activity = activity;
r.stopped = true;
if (!r.activity.mFinished) {
activity.performStart();
r.stopped = false;
}
if (!r.activity.mFinished) {
if (r.state != null) {
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnRestoreInstanceState(activity, r.state);
}
}
if (!r.activity.mFinished) {
activity.mCalled = false;
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnPostCreate(activity, r.state);
if (!activity.mCalled) {
throw new SuperNotCalledException(
"Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() +
" did not call through to super.onPostCreate()");
}
}
}
r.paused = true;
mActivities.put(r.token, r);
} catch (SuperNotCalledException e) {
......
} catch (Exception e) {
......
}
return activity;
}
......
}函数前面是收集要启动的Activity的相关信息，主要package和component信息：
ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo;
if (r.packageInfo == null) {
r.packageInfo = getPackageInfo(aInfo.applicationInfo,
Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE);
}
ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent();
if (component == null) {
component = r.intent.resolveActivity(
mInitialApplication.getPackageManager());
r.intent.setComponent(component);
}
if (r.activityInfo.targetActivity != null) {
component = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName,
r.activityInfo.targetActivity);
} Activity activity = null;
try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = r.packageInfo.getClassLoader();
activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity(
cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);
r.intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl);
if (r.state != null) {
r.state.setClassLoader(cl);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
......
} Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation); activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token,
r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent,
r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstance,
r.lastNonConfigurationChildInstances, config); mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state);Step 35. MainActivity.onCreate
这个函数定义在packages/experimental/Activity/src/shy/luo/activity/MainActivity.java文件中，这是我们自定义的app工程文件：
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
......
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
......
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Main Activity Created.");
}
......
}整个应用程序的启动过程要执行很多步骤，但是整体来看，主要分为以下五个阶段：
一. Step1 - Step 11：Launcher通过Binder进程间通信机制通知ActivityManagerService，它要启动一个Activity；
二. Step 12 - Step 16：ActivityManagerService通过Binder进程间通信机制通知Launcher进入Paused状态；
三. Step 17 - Step 24：Launcher通过Binder进程间通信机制通知ActivityManagerService，它已经准备就绪进入Paused状态，于是ActivityManagerService就创建一个新的进程，用来启动一个ActivityThread实例，即将要启动的Activity就是在这个ActivityThread实例中运行；
四. Step 25 - Step 27：ActivityThread通过Binder进程间通信机制将一个ApplicationThread类型的Binder对象传递给ActivityManagerService，以便以后ActivityManagerService能够通过这个Binder对象和它进行通信；
五. Step 28 - Step 35：ActivityManagerService通过Binder进程间通信机制通知ActivityThread，现在一切准备就绪，它可以真正执行Activity的启动操作了。
这里不少地方涉及到了Binder进程间通信机制，相关资料请参考Android进程间通信（IPC）机制Binder简要介绍和学习计划一文。
这样，应用程序的启动过程就介绍完了，它实质上是启动应用程序的默认Activity，在下一篇文章中，我们将介绍在应用程序内部启动另一个Activity的过程，即新的Activity与启动它的Activity将会在同一个进程（Process）和任务（Task）运行，敬请关注。
