事件分发流程图
讲解Android事件分发的文章很多了，这里我是在理解之后，做的一个总结。按照事件传递的流程，把每一步的事件处理和返回结果做个梳理，这里的总结只包含了ACTION_DOWN事件。
1##
先看Activity的dispatchTouchEvent()方法，如下：
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
onUserInteraction();
}
if (getWindow().superDispatchTouchEvent(ev)) {
return true;
}
return onTouchEvent(ev);
}
分析上述代码：首先事件交给Activity所附属的Window进行分发，我们进入getWindow().superDispatchTouchEvent(ev)这段代码:
public boolean superDispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
return mDecor.superDispatchTouchEvent(event);
}
分析代码可以看出，PhoneWindow将事件传递给了DecorView，也就是最顶级的View，它继承自FrameLayout，所以它是一个ViewGroup，这样事件的分发，就从Activity进入了ViewGroup。这里我们先只讨论Activity对分发事件结果的处理。
1）如果返回true，则说明该事件被消费，则终止传递。
2）如果返回false，意味着事件没人处理，所有View的onTouchEvent都返回了false，那么Activity的onTouchEvent就会调用。
我们接着往下看，当事件传递给ViewGroup的dispatchTouchEvent()，它是如何处理的。

if (mInputEventConsistencyVerifier != null) {

这段代码比较多了，其实我也看不下去……，所以这里我直接结合流程图，给出结论吧：
1）ViewGroup的dispatchTouchEvent()方法，如果其OnTouchListener没有被设置，则默认会去调用它的onInterceptTouchEvent()方法。如果设置了OnTouchListener，则会屏蔽掉onTouchEvent事件。（关于OnTouchListener和OnTouchEvent会在文末讲解）
2）如果返回结果为true，说明事件自行消费，例如设置了OnTouchListener，则终止传递。
3）返回false意味着事件没人处理，则回溯给Activity的onTouchEvent进行处理。
3##
下面进入ViewGroup的onInterceptTouchEvent()方法：
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
if (ev.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE)
&& ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN
&& ev.isButtonPressed(MotionEvent.BUTTON_PRIMARY)
&& isOnScrollbarThumb(ev.getX(), ev.getY())) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
只有ViewGroup中有此方法，View中没有。它的作用时判断“是否拦截事件”。
1）默认情况是返回false，也就是不拦截，并将事件传递给子View的dispatchTouchEvent()。
2）返回true意味着拦截此事件，并将事件分发给自己的onTouchEvent。
4##
下面进入ViewGroup的onTouchEvent()方法：
1）返回true，说明消费该事件，传递终止。
2）返回false，意味着不消费该事件，将事件传递给子View的dispatchTouchEvent()进行分发。
5##
View没有interceptTouchEvent()方法，因为它下面已经没有View了，不需要进行拦截。
1)与ViewGroup的此方法一样，如果自己不消费，默认情况下是传递给该View的onTouchEvent进行事件处理。
2）返回true，说明被自己消费，终止传递。
3）返回false说明该View不进行处理，回溯给父View的onTouchEvent()方法。
6##
如果View能接受到事件，那么它的onTouchEvent()方法将是最后被调用的，它的事件处理规则与ViewGroup的是一样的：
1）返回true，说明自行处理，传递结束。
2）返回false，意味着不处理该事件，回溯给上一级View的onTouchEvent()方法处理。
onTouchEvent与onTouchListener##
1、onTouchEvent是基于回调的，onTouchListener基于监听。
2、onTouchListener的优先级高于onTouchEvent，如果onTouchListener被调用，且返回true，则onTouchEvent不会被执行，如果返回false，onTouchEvent则会被执行。
