本文基于Android7.0源码。
从Activity#startActivity方法开始，startActivity经过多次重载，最终调用了startActivityForResult，
//Activity
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
this.startActivity(intent, null);
}
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent, @Nullable Bundle options) {
if (options != null) {
startActivityForResult(intent, -1, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this call for compatibility with
// applications that may have overridden the method.
startActivityForResult(intent, -1);
}
}
public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode) {
startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode, null);
}
//Activity
public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode,
@Nullable Bundle options) {
if (mParent == null) { //1
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);
}
}
}
注释1处mParent代表ActivityGroup，在API13中已被废弃，因此会调用Instrumentation#execStartActivity方法，这里的参数mMainThread.getApplicationThread()的类型是ApplicationThread，mMainThread的类型是ActivityThread
//ActivityThread
final ApplicationThread mAppThread = new ApplicationThread();
public ApplicationThread getApplicationThread() {
return mAppThread;
}
因为应用进程与SystemServer属于不同的进程，需要跨进程通信，Android使用Binder机制进行跨进程通信。
ApplicationThread用于ActivityThread与AMS的跨进程通信。
ApplicationThread继承ApplicationThreadNative，ApplicationThreadNative继承Binder，实现IApplicationThread这个Binder接口，ApplicationThreadNative就相当于AIDL通信中的Stub，也就是服务端，ApplicationThreadProxy是ApplicationThreadNative的内部类，实现IApplicationThread接口，即AIDL通讯中的Proxy，也就是客户端。
ApplicationThread继承ApplicationThreadNative，是IApplicationThread的具体实现。
下面看Instrumentation#execStartActivity方法
//Instrumentation
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);
//调用AMS#startActivity
int result = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
//检查启动Activity的结果
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failure from system", e);
}
return null;
}
这里调用了ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().startActivity，
ActivityManagerNative#getDefault()获取的是一个ActivityManagerProxy对象。
ActivityManagerService继承ActivityManagerNative，ActivityManagerNative继承Binder实现IActivityManager这个Binder接口，ActivityManagerNative就相当于AIDL中的Stub，就是服务端，ActivityManagerProxy是ActivityManagerNative的内部类，实现IActivityManager接口，即AIDL中的Proxy，也就是客户端。
ActivityManagerService继承ActivityManagerNative，是IActivityManager的具体实现。
可以发现ApplicationThread、ApplicationThreadNative、ApplicationThreadProxy与ActivityManagerService、ActivityManagerNative、ActivityManagerProxy是可以对应起来的。
//ActivityManagerNative
/**
* Retrieve the system's default/global activity manager.
*/
static public IActivityManager getDefault() {
return gDefault.get();
}
private static final Singleton gDefault = new Singleton() {
protected IActivityManager create() {
IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService("activity");
if (false) {
Log.v("ActivityManager", "default service binder = " + b);
}
IActivityManager am = asInterface(b);
if (false) {
Log.v("ActivityManager", "default service = " + am);
}
return am;
}
};
/**
* Cast a Binder object into an activity manager interface, generating
* a proxy if needed.
*/
static public IActivityManager asInterface(IBinder obj) {
if (obj == null) {
return null;
}
IActivityManager in =
(IActivityManager)obj.queryLocalInterface(descriptor);
if (in != null) {
return in;
}
return new ActivityManagerProxy(obj);
}
这里Singleton是一个单例封装类。
接下来看ActivityManagerProxy#startActivity方法
//ActivityManagerProxy
public int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage, Intent intent,
String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle options) throws RemoteException {
Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain();
data.writeInterfaceToken(IActivityManager.descriptor);
data.writeStrongBinder(caller != null ? caller.asBinder() : null);
data.writeString(callingPackage);
intent.writeToParcel(data, 0);
data.writeString(resolvedType);
data.writeStrongBinder(resultTo);
data.writeString(resultWho);
data.writeInt(requestCode);
data.writeInt(startFlags);
if (profilerInfo != null) {
data.writeInt(1);
profilerInfo.writeToParcel(data, Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE);
} else {
data.writeInt(0);
}
if (options != null) {
data.writeInt(1);
options.writeToParcel(data, 0);
} else {
data.writeInt(0);
}
mRemote.transact(START_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);
reply.readException();
int result = reply.readInt();
reply.recycle();
data.recycle();
return result;
}
可以看到通过调用Binder#transact方法进行跨进程通信。
回到Instrumentation#execStartActivity方法，有一行代码checkStartActivityResult(result, intent)，这个方法负责检查启动Activity的结果
//Instrumentation
/** @hide */
public static void checkStartActivityResult(int res, Object intent) {
if (res >= ActivityManager.START_SUCCESS) {
return;
}
switch (res) {
case ActivityManager.START_INTENT_NOT_RESOLVED:
case ActivityManager.START_CLASS_NOT_FOUND:
if (intent instanceof Intent && ((Intent)intent).getComponent() != null)
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"Unable to find explicit activity class "
+ ((Intent)intent).getComponent().toShortString()
+ "; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?");
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"No Activity found to handle " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_PERMISSION_DENIED:
throw new SecurityException("Not allowed to start activity "
+ intent);
case ActivityManager.START_FORWARD_AND_REQUEST_CONFLICT:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(
"FORWARD_RESULT_FLAG used while also requesting a result");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_ACTIVITY:
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"PendingIntent is not an activity");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_VOICE_COMPATIBLE:
throw new SecurityException(
"Starting under voice control not allowed for: " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_NOT_ACTIVE_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Session calling startVoiceActivity does not match active session");
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_HIDDEN_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Cannot start voice activity on a hidden session");
case ActivityManager.START_CANCELED:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Activity could not be started for "
+ intent);
default:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Unknown error code "
+ res + " when starting " + intent);
}
}
之前都是运行在调用者进程，从这里开始运行在system_server进程。
按照Binder机制，接下来去找ActivityManagerService#onTransact方法，并且看START_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION是怎么处理的。
//ActivityManagerService
@Override
public boolean onTransact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply, int flags)
throws RemoteException {
···
try {
return super.onTransact(code, data, reply, flags);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
// The activity manager only throws security exceptions, so let's
// log all others.
if (!(e instanceof SecurityException)) {
Slog.wtf(TAG, "Activity Manager Crash", e);
}
throw e;
}
}
调用了super. onTransact()，就是ActivityManagerNative#onTransact()
//ActivityManagerNative
@Override
public boolean onTransact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply, int flags)
throws RemoteException {
switch (code) {
case START_ACTIVITY_TRANSACTION:
{
data.enforceInterface(IActivityManager.descriptor);
IBinder b = data.readStrongBinder();
IApplicationThread app = ApplicationThreadNative.asInterface(b);
String callingPackage = data.readString();
Intent intent = Intent.CREATOR.createFromParcel(data);
String resolvedType = data.readString();
IBinder resultTo = data.readStrongBinder();
String resultWho = data.readString();
int requestCode = data.readInt();
int startFlags = data.readInt();
ProfilerInfo profilerInfo = data.readInt() != 0
? ProfilerInfo.CREATOR.createFromParcel(data) : null;
Bundle options = data.readInt() != 0
? Bundle.CREATOR.createFromParcel(data) : null;
int result = startActivity(app, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType,
resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profilerInfo, options);
reply.writeNoException();
reply.writeInt(result);
return true;
}
···
}
在ActivityManagerNative的onTransact方法中调用了startActivity，这个方法在ActivityManagerService中，接着看AMS#startActivity方法，startActivity又调用了startActivityAsUser
//ActivityManagerService
@Override
public final int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions) {
return startActivityAsUser(caller, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType, resultTo,
resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profilerInfo, bOptions,
UserHandle.getCallingUserId());
}
@Override
public final int startActivityAsUser(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions, int userId) {
enforceNotIsolatedCaller("startActivity");
userId = mUserController.handleIncomingUser(Binder.getCallingPid(), Binder.getCallingUid(),
userId, false, ALLOW_FULL_ONLY, "startActivity", null);
// TODO: Switch to user app stacks here.
return mActivityStarter.startActivityMayWait(caller, -1, callingPackage, intent,
resolvedType, null, null, resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, startFlags,
profilerInfo, null, null, bOptions, false, userId, null, null);
}
这里转移到了ActivityStarter#startActivityMayWait，ActivityStarter是Android7.0新增的类，用于Activity启动管理
startActivityMayWait方法负责检查Intent是否是显式、查找匹配的Activity、判断是否是重量级进程
//ActivityStarter
final int startActivityMayWait(IApplicationThread caller, int callingUid,
String callingPackage, Intent intent, String resolvedType,
IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode, int startFlags,
ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, IActivityManager.WaitResult outResult, Configuration config,
Bundle bOptions, boolean ignoreTargetSecurity, int userId,
IActivityContainer iContainer, TaskRecord inTask) {
···
//通过ActivityStackSupervisor#resolveActivity来获取ActivityInfo信息, 找到相应的Activity组件，并保存到intent对象，然后再进入startActivityLocked()
// Collect information about the target of the Intent.
ActivityInfo aInfo = mSupervisor.resolveActivity(intent, rInfo, startFlags, profilerInfo);
int res = startActivityLocked(caller, intent, ephemeralIntent, resolvedType,
aInfo, rInfo, voiceSession, voiceInteractor,
resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, callingPid,
callingUid, callingPackage, realCallingPid, realCallingUid, startFlags,
options, ignoreTargetSecurity, componentSpecified, outRecord, container,
inTask);
···
}
接着调用了startActivityLocked方法，startActivityLocked方法主要负责判断caller进程是否存在、判断Intent是否匹配到目标、校验权限
//ActivityStarter
final int startActivityLocked(IApplicationThread caller, Intent intent, Intent ephemeralIntent,
String resolvedType, ActivityInfo aInfo, ResolveInfo rInfo,
IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode, int callingPid, int callingUid,
String callingPackage, int realCallingPid, int realCallingUid, int startFlags,
ActivityOptions options, boolean ignoreTargetSecurity, boolean componentSpecified,
ActivityRecord[] outActivity, ActivityStackSupervisor.ActivityContainer container,
TaskRecord inTask) {
···
//ActivityRecord：在AMS中，每启动一个Actvity会有一个对应的ActivityRecord对象，表示Activity的一个记录
ActivityRecord r = new ActivityRecord(mService, callerApp, callingUid, callingPackage,
intent, resolvedType, aInfo, mService.mConfiguration, resultRecord, resultWho,
requestCode, componentSpecified, voiceSession != null, mSupervisor, container,
options, sourceRecord);
···
try {
mService.mWindowManager.deferSurfaceLayout();
err = startActivityUnchecked(r, sourceRecord, voiceSession, voiceInteractor, startFlags,
true, options, inTask);
} finally {
mService.mWindowManager.continueSurfaceLayout();
}
```
return err;
}
接着调用了startActivityUnchecked方法
startActivityUnchecked方法负责调度ActivityRecord和Task处理启动模式，理解该方法是理解Actvity启动模式的关键。
startActivityUnchecked方法调度task的算法非常复杂，和当前回退栈，要启动的acitivity的启动模式以及taskAffinity属性，启动activity时设置的intent的flag等诸多要素相关，intent的flag就有很多种情况，故此算法非常复杂，需要阅读源码并结合特定启动情况才能理解。
//ActivityStarter
private int startActivityUnchecked(final ActivityRecord r, ActivityRecord sourceRecord,
IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
int startFlags, boolean doResume, ActivityOptions options, TaskRecord inTask) {
···
mSupervisor.resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked(mTargetStack, mStartActivity, mOptions);
return START_SUCCESS;
}
接着调用了ActivityStackSupervisor#resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked方法，ActivityStackSupervisor是Android系统Activity的栈管理器
//ActivityStackSupervisor
boolean resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked() {
return resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked(null, null, null);
}
boolean resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked(
ActivityStack targetStack, ActivityRecord target, ActivityOptions targetOptions) {
if (targetStack != null && isFocusedStack(targetStack)) {
return targetStack.resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(target, targetOptions);
}
final ActivityRecord r = mFocusedStack.topRunningActivityLocked();
if (r == null || r.state != RESUMED) {
mFocusedStack.resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(null, null);
}
return false;
}
接下来调用了ActivityStack#resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked方法，ActivityStack是一个管理类，用来管理系统所有Activity的各种状态，它由ActivityStackSupervisor来进行管理
//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.
* @param options Activity options.
*
* @return Returns true if something is being resumed, or false if
* nothing happened.
*
* NOTE: It is not safe to call this method directly as it can cause an activity in a
* non-focused stack to be resumed.
* Use {@link ActivityStackSupervisor#resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked} to resume the
* right activity for the current system state.
*/
boolean resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {
if (mStackSupervisor.inResumeTopActivity) {
// Don't even start recursing.
return false;
}
boolean result = false;
try {
// Protect against recursion.
mStackSupervisor.inResumeTopActivity = true;
if (mService.mLockScreenShown == ActivityManagerService.LOCK_SCREEN_LEAVING) {
mService.mLockScreenShown = ActivityManagerService.LOCK_SCREEN_HIDDEN;
mService.updateSleepIfNeededLocked();
}
result = resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(prev, options);
} finally {
mStackSupervisor.inResumeTopActivity = false;
}
return result;
}
接着调用ActivityStack#resumeTopActivityInnerLocked
//ActivityStack
private boolean resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {
···
mStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked(next, true, true);
···
return true;
}
接着调用了ActivityStackSupervisor#startSpecificActivityLocked
//ActivityStackSupervisor
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, true);
r.task.stack.setLaunchTime(r);
if (app != null && app.thread != null) {
try {
if ((r.info.flags&ActivityInfo.FLAG_MULTIPROCESS) == 0
|| !"android".equals(r.info.packageName)) {
// Don't add this if it is a platform component that is marked
// to run in multiple processes, because this is actually
// part of the framework so doesn't make sense to track as a
// separate apk in the process.
app.addPackage(r.info.packageName, r.info.applicationInfo.versionCode,
mService.mProcessStats);
}
realStartActivityLocked(r, app, andResume, checkConfig);
return;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Exception when starting activity "
+ r.intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString(), e);
}
// If a dead object exception was thrown -- fall through to
// restart the application.
}
mService.startProcessLocked(r.processName, r.info.applicationInfo, true, 0,
"activity", r.intent.getComponent(), false, false, true);
}
在这里会进行判断，如果进程存在，调用realStartActivityLocked，如果进程不存在，调用mService.startProcessLocked，其中mService对象是ActivityManagerService，AMS#startProcessLocked是系统创建进程的入口，通过zygote创建应用进程。
先看看AMS#startProcessLocked方法
//ActivityManagerService
//Process的start函数，将通过socket发送消息给zygote，zygote将fork一个子进程，子进程通过反射调用ActivityThread的main函数
private final void startProcessLocked(ProcessRecord app, String hostingType,
String hostingNameStr, String abiOverride, String entryPoint, String[] entryPointArgs) {
···
Process.ProcessStartResult startResult = Process.start(entryPoint,
app.processName, uid, uid, gids, debugFlags, mountExternal,
app.info.targetSdkVersion, app.info.seinfo, requiredAbi, instructionSet,
app.info.dataDir, entryPointArgs);
···
}
//ActivityThread
//在该方法里会先准备好Looper和消息队列，然后调用attach方法将应用进程绑定到AMS，然后进入loop循环，不断地读取消息队列里的消息，并分发消息。
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
// CloseGuard defaults to true and can be quite spammy. We
// disable it here, but selectively enable it later (via
// StrictMode) on debug builds, but using DropBox, not logs.
CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);
Environment.initForCurrentUser();
// Set the reporter for event logging in libcore
EventLogger.setReporter(new EventLoggingReporter());
// Make sure TrustedCertificateStore looks in the right place for CA certificates
final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);
Process.setArgV0("");
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false);
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
// End of event ActivityThreadMain.
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}
//ApplicationThread是ActivityThread用来与AMS通讯的中介
final ApplicationThread mAppThread = new ApplicationThread();
private void attach(boolean system) {
···
if (!system) {
final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault();
try {
//调用AMS的attachApplication方法，把ApplicationThread对象绑定到ActivityManagerService，这样AMS就可以通过ApplicationThread代理对象控制应用进程
mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
} else {
···
}
}
到这里，进程创建完毕，继续看ActivityStackSupervisor#realStartActivityLocked方法
//ActivityStackSupervisor
final boolean realStartActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r, ProcessRecord app,
boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) throws RemoteException {
···
app.thread.scheduleLaunchActivity(new Intent(r.intent), r.appToken,
System.identityHashCode(r), r.info, new Configuration(mService.mConfiguration),
new Configuration(task.mOverrideConfig), r.compat, r.launchedFromPackage,
task.voiceInteractor, app.repProcState, r.icicle, r.persistentState, results,
newIntents, !andResume, mService.isNextTransitionForward(), profilerInfo);
···
return true;
}
其中app类型为ProcessRecord，app.thread类型为IApplicationThread，public interface IApplicationThread extends IInterface，IApplicationThread的实现是在系统进程的ApplicationThreadProxy，class ApplicationThreadProxy implements IApplicationThread。在这里用户进程变成了Service端，系统进程变成了Client端，ApplicationThreadProxy相当于AIDL中的Proxy。通过transact方法调用了ApplicationThreadNative的onTransact方法，onTransact方法中调用了scheduleLaunchActivity方法。
所以又到了ApplicationThread#scheduleLaunchActivity。
到这里回到了即将被启动的Activity所在的进程。
//ApplicationThread
// 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,
ActivityInfo info, Configuration curConfig, Configuration overrideConfig,
CompatibilityInfo compatInfo, String referrer, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
int procState, Bundle state, PersistableBundle persistentState,
List pendingResults, List pendingNewIntents,
boolean notResumed, boolean isForward, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo) {
updateProcessState(procState, false);
ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord();
r.token = token;
r.ident = ident;
r.intent = intent;
r.referrer = referrer;
r.voiceInteractor = voiceInteractor;
r.activityInfo = info;
r.compatInfo = compatInfo;
r.state = state;
r.persistentState = persistentState;
r.pendingResults = pendingResults;
r.pendingIntents = pendingNewIntents;
r.startsNotResumed = notResumed;
r.isForward = isForward;
r.profilerInfo = profilerInfo;
r.overrideConfig = overrideConfig;
updatePendingConfiguration(curConfig);
sendMessage(H.LAUNCH_ACTIVITY, r);
}
这里发送了一条Message，接收Message的Handler就是ActivityThread中的Handler H。
为什么要使用Handler，因为Binder服务端运行在线程池中，在客户端需要通过Handler切换到主线程。
来看一下Handler H如何处理LAUNCH_ACTIVITY
private class H extends Handler {
···
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) Slog.v(TAG, ">>> handling: " + codeToString(msg.what));
switch (msg.what) {
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;
···
}
}
···
}
这里调用了handleLaunchActivity
//ActivityThread
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);
//初始化WMS
// Initialize before creating the activity
WindowManagerGlobal.initialize();
//调用Activity的onCreate、onStart方法
Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);
if (a != null) {
r.createdConfig = new Configuration(mConfiguration);
reportSizeConfigurations(r);
Bundle oldState = r.state;
//调用Activity的onResume方法
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()

// 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

// 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 {
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
.finishActivity(r.token, Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null,
Activity.DONT_FINISH_TASK_WITH_ACTIVITY);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
}
handleLaunchActivity调用了performLaunchActivity
//ActivityThread

performLaunchActivity主要做了如下几件事：
- 从ActivityClientRecord中获取Activity的组件信息。
- 通过Instrumentation#newActivity方法使用类加载器创建Activity对象。
- 通过LoadedApk#makeApplication创建Application对象（如果Application已经创建过，就不会再创建）。
- 调用createBaseContextForActivity方法创建ContextImpl。
- 通过Activity#attach方法对Activity的一些成员变量进行初始化，把Application、ContextImpl与Activity相关联，创建Window并建立与Window的关联。
- 通过Instrumentation#callActivityOnCreate调用Activity的onCreate方法，在onCreate方法中调用PhoneWindow#setContentView，然后调用PhoneWindow#installDecor，创建DecorView调用generateLayout方法，把DecorView赋值给mContentParent,然后调用PhoneWindow#generateLayout为当前Activity添加DecorView根布局，把XML布局添加到DecorView里。
- 调用Instrumentation#callActivityOnStart调用Activity的onStart方法。
在handleLaunchActivity方法中接下来调用了handleResumeActivity方法，
//ActivityThread
final void handleResumeActivity(IBinder token,
boolean clearHide, boolean isForward, boolean reallyResume, int seq, String reason) {
ActivityClientRecord r = mActivities.get(token);
if (!checkAndUpdateLifecycleSeq(seq, r, "resumeActivity")) {
return;
}
// If we are getting ready to gc after going to the background, well
// we are back active so skip it.
unscheduleGcIdler();
mSomeActivitiesChanged = true;
// TODO Push resumeArgs into the activity for consideration
r = performResumeActivity(token, clearHide, reason);
if (r != null) {
final Activity a = r.activity;
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
TAG, "Resume " + r + " started activity: " +
a.mStartedActivity + ", hideForNow: " + r.hideForNow
+ ", finished: " + a.mFinished);
final int forwardBit = isForward ?
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_IS_FORWARD_NAVIGATION : 0;
// If the window hasn't yet been added to the window manager,
// and this guy didn't finish itself or start another activity,
// then go ahead and add the window.
boolean willBeVisible = !a.mStartedActivity;
if (!willBeVisible) {
try {
willBeVisible = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().willActivityBeVisible(
a.getActivityToken());
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw e.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
if (r.window == null && !a.mFinished && willBeVisible) {
r.window = r.activity.getWindow();
View decor = r.window.getDecorView();
decor.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
ViewManager wm = a.getWindowManager();
WindowManager.LayoutParams l = r.window.getAttributes();
a.mDecor = decor;
l.type = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_BASE_APPLICATION;
l.softInputMode |= forwardBit;
if (r.mPreserveWindow) {
a.mWindowAdded = true;
r.mPreserveWindow = false;
// Normally the ViewRoot sets up callbacks with the Activity
// in addView->ViewRootImpl#setView. If we are instead reusing
// the decor view we have to notify the view root that the
// callbacks may have changed.
ViewRootImpl impl = decor.getViewRootImpl();
if (impl != null) {
impl.notifyChildRebuilt();
}
}
if (a.mVisibleFromClient && !a.mWindowAdded) {
a.mWindowAdded = true;
wm.addView(decor, l);
}
// If the window has already been added, but during resume
// we started another activity, then don't yet make the
// window visible.
} else if (!willBeVisible) {
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
TAG, "Launch " + r + " mStartedActivity set");
r.hideForNow = true;
}
// Get rid of anything left hanging around.
cleanUpPendingRemoveWindows(r, false /* force */);
// The window is now visible if it has been added, we are not
// simply finishing, and we are not starting another activity.
if (!r.activity.mFinished && willBeVisible
&& r.activity.mDecor != null && !r.hideForNow) {
if (r.newConfig != null) {
performConfigurationChangedForActivity(r, r.newConfig, REPORT_TO_ACTIVITY);
if (DEBUG_CONFIGURATION) Slog.v(TAG, "Resuming activity "
+ r.activityInfo.name + " with newConfig " + r.activity.mCurrentConfig);
r.newConfig = null;
}
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Resuming " + r + " with isForward="
+ isForward);
WindowManager.LayoutParams l = r.window.getAttributes();
if ((l.softInputMode
& WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_IS_FORWARD_NAVIGATION)
!= forwardBit) {
l.softInputMode = (l.softInputMode
& (~WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_IS_FORWARD_NAVIGATION))
| forwardBit;
if (r.activity.mVisibleFromClient) {
ViewManager wm = a.getWindowManager();
View decor = r.window.getDecorView();
wm.updateViewLayout(decor, l);
}
}
r.activity.mVisibleFromServer = true;
mNumVisibleActivities++;
if (r.activity.mVisibleFromClient) {
r.activity.makeVisible();
}
}
if (!r.onlyLocalRequest) {
r.nextIdle = mNewActivities;
mNewActivities = r;
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
TAG, "Scheduling idle handler for " + r);
Looper.myQueue().addIdleHandler(new Idler());
}
r.onlyLocalRequest = false;
// Tell the activity manager we have resumed.
if (reallyResume) {
try {
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().activityResumed(token);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
} else {
// If an exception was thrown when trying to resume, then
// just end this activity.
try {
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
.finishActivity(token, Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null,
Activity.DONT_FINISH_TASK_WITH_ACTIVITY);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
}
handleResumeActivity主要做了如下几件事：
- 调用了Activity的onResume方法。
- 获取当前PhoneWindow的DecorView，调用WindowManager#addView将DecorView添加到WindowManagerGlobal中，创建ViewRootImpl，调用ViewRootImpl#setView，把DecorView与ViewRootImpl绑定。
- 调用ViewRootImpl#requestLayout方法，requestLayout调用performMeasure、performLayout、performDraw，开始测量、布局、绘制过程。
- 调用Activity#makeVisible方法，让Activity展现在用户面前。
到这里就完成了Activity的启动流程。
