缘起
本文要重点分析的是2个方法即onSaveInstanceState和onRestoreInstanceState，为什么要介绍这2个方法呢？这是因为笔者在开发过程中遇到了一个很诡异的现象，大体是这样的：在我们的ViewPager中有2页的root view都是ScrollView，我们在xml里面都用了android:id="@+id/scroll_view"这样的代码，即2个布局里面的ScrollView用了同一个id。我们重载了ScrollView的onSaveInstanceState()用来save当前的scrollY，在使用过程中发现restore回来的时候其中一个的scrollY总是不对并且好像等于另一个的scrollY。这让我们很是疑惑，最终发现是因为2个ScrollView用了同一个id，所以导致系统在save state的时候一个覆盖了另一个的结果。接下来的内容，我们就重点来看看整个save的过程。当然了，可能有人会问我们为啥要自己save ScrollView的滚动位置呢，难道Android系统自己没做吗？答案是：是的，至少可以说在各个版本的Android之间没做好，看眼源码：
@Override
protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState() {
if (mContext.getApplicationInfo().targetSdkVersion <= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
// Some old apps reused IDs in ways they shouldn't have.
// Don't break them, but they don't get scroll state restoration.
return super.onSaveInstanceState(); // 看到了没，这里有个版本检测，还有一段原因，所以各个版本的Android就有了不一致的行为
} // 所以在4.3(包括)以前ScrollView的scroll state是不会保存的。
Parcelable superState = super.onSaveInstanceState();
SavedState ss = new SavedState(superState);
ss.scrollPosition = mScrollY;
return ss;
}
@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) {
if (mContext.getApplicationInfo().targetSdkVersion <= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
// Some old apps reused IDs in ways they shouldn't have.
// Don't break them, but they don't get scroll state restoration.
super.onRestoreInstanceState(state);
return;
}
SavedState ss = (SavedState) state;
super.onRestoreInstanceState(ss.getSuperState()); // 用super的state调用super的实现
mSavedState = ss;
requestLayout(); // 状态恢复了之后记得重新layout下，以便展现出来
}
过程分析
好了言归正传，View的onSaveInstanceState和onRestoreInstanceState方法调用都是从Activity或Dialog的同名方法调用开始的，这里我们看下Activity的对应实现，代码如下：
/**
* Called to retrieve per-instance state from an activity before being killed
* so that the state can be restored in {@link #onCreate} or
* {@link #onRestoreInstanceState} (the {@link Bundle} populated by this method
* will be passed to both).
*
* This method is called before an activity may be killed so that when it
* comes back some time in the future it can restore its state. For example,
* if activity B is launched in front of activity A, and at some point activity
* A is killed to reclaim resources, activity A will have a chance to save the
* current state of its user interface via this method so that when the user
* returns to activity A, the state of the user interface can be restored
* via {@link #onCreate} or {@link #onRestoreInstanceState}.
*
*
Do not confuse this method with activity lifecycle callbacks such as
* {@link #onPause}, which is always called when an activity is being placed
* in the background or on its way to destruction, or {@link #onStop} which
* is called before destruction. One example of when {@link #onPause} and
* {@link #onStop} is called and not this method is when a user navigates back
* from activity B to activity A: there is no need to call {@link #onSaveInstanceState}
* on B because that particular instance will never be restored, so the
* system avoids calling it. An example when {@link #onPause} is called and
* not {@link #onSaveInstanceState} is when activity B is launched in front of activity A:
* the system may avoid calling {@link #onSaveInstanceState} on activity A if it isn't
* killed during the lifetime of B since the state of the user interface of
* A will stay intact.
*
*
The default implementation takes care of most of the UI per-instance
* state for you by calling {@link android.view.View#onSaveInstanceState()} on each
* view in the hierarchy that has an id, and by saving the id of the currently
* focused view (all of which is restored by the default implementation of
* {@link #onRestoreInstanceState}). If you override this method to save additional
* information not captured by each individual view, you will likely want to
* call through to the default implementation, otherwise be prepared to save
* all of the state of each view yourself.
*
*
If called, this method will occur before {@link #onStop}. There are
* no guarantees about whether it will occur before or after {@link #onPause}.
*
* @param outState Bundle in which to place your saved state.
*
* @see #onCreate
* @see #onRestoreInstanceState
* @see #onPause
*/
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) { // 此方法的doc非常长且详细，你需要认真阅读下
outState.putBundle(WINDOW_HIERARCHY_TAG, mWindow.saveHierarchyState()); // 注意这里的mWindow.saveHierarchyState()调用
Parcelable p = mFragments.saveAllState(); // 从这里开始会调用到View层次结构中的对应方法
if (p != null) {
outState.putParcelable(FRAGMENTS_TAG, p);
}
getApplication().dispatchActivitySaveInstanceState(this, outState);
}
/**
* This method is called after {@link #onStart} when the activity is
* being re-initialized from a previously saved state, given here in
* savedInstanceState. Most implementations will simply use {@link #onCreate}
* to restore their state, but it is sometimes convenient to do it here
* after all of the initialization has been done or to allow subclasses to
* decide whether to use your default implementation. The default
* implementation of this method performs a restore of any view state that
* had previously been frozen by {@link #onSaveInstanceState}.
*
*
This method is called between {@link #onStart} and
* {@link #onPostCreate}.
*
* @param savedInstanceState the data most recently supplied in {@link #onSaveInstanceState}.
*
* @see #onCreate
* @see #onPostCreate
* @see #onResume
* @see #onSaveInstanceState
*/
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (mWindow != null) {
Bundle windowState = savedInstanceState.getBundle(WINDOW_HIERARCHY_TAG);
if (windowState != null) {
mWindow.restoreHierarchyState(windowState); // 同样的调用Window的restoreHierarchyState方法
}
}
}
紧接着，我们看下Window中的实现（真正的实现在PhoneWindow.java中），如下：
public abstract Bundle saveHierarchyState();
public abstract void restoreHierarchyState(Bundle savedInstanceState);
// 我们看到Window中只是2个抽象方法，其具体实现还得看PhoneWindow类
/** {@inheritDoc} */
@Override
public Bundle saveHierarchyState() {
Bundle outState = new Bundle(); // new一个Bundle(其实现了Parcelable接口)
if (mContentParent == null) { // 这个字段还有印象吗？如果不清楚了你可以参看前面的这篇文章
return outState; // http://www.cnblogs.com/xiaoweiz/p/3787844.html
}
// 注意这里的container传递的是一个SparseArray，我们前面介绍过：http://www.cnblogs.com/xiaoweiz/p/3667689.html
SparseArray states = new SparseArray();
mContentParent.saveHierarchyState(states); // 进入view层次结构的save state
outState.putSparseParcelableArray(VIEWS_TAG, states);
// save the focused view id
View focusedView = mContentParent.findFocus();
if (focusedView != null) {
if (focusedView.getId() != View.NO_ID) {
outState.putInt(FOCUSED_ID_TAG, focusedView.getId());
} else {
if (false) {
Log.d(TAG, "couldn't save which view has focus because the focused view "
+ focusedView + " has no id.");
}
}
}
// save the panels
SparseArray panelStates = new SparseArray();
savePanelState(panelStates);
if (panelStates.size() > 0) {
outState.putSparseParcelableArray(PANELS_TAG, panelStates);
}
if (mActionBar != null) {
SparseArray actionBarStates = new SparseArray();
mActionBar.saveHierarchyState(actionBarStates);
outState.putSparseParcelableArray(ACTION_BAR_TAG, actionBarStates);
}
return outState;
}
/** {@inheritDoc} */
@Override
public void restoreHierarchyState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (mContentParent == null) {
return;
}
SparseArray savedStates
= savedInstanceState.getSparseParcelableArray(VIEWS_TAG);
if (savedStates != null) {
mContentParent.restoreHierarchyState(savedStates); // 同save的过程
}
// restore the focused view
int focusedViewId = savedInstanceState.getInt(FOCUSED_ID_TAG, View.NO_ID);
if (focusedViewId != View.NO_ID) {
View needsFocus = mContentParent.findViewById(focusedViewId);
if (needsFocus != null) {
needsFocus.requestFocus();
} else {
Log.w(TAG,
"Previously focused view reported id " + focusedViewId
+ " during save, but can't be found during restore.");
}
}
// restore the panels
SparseArray panelStates = savedInstanceState.getSparseParcelableArray(PANELS_TAG);
if (panelStates != null) {
restorePanelState(panelStates);
}
if (mActionBar != null) {
SparseArray actionBarStates =
savedInstanceState.getSparseParcelableArray(ACTION_BAR_TAG);
if (actionBarStates != null) {
mActionBar.restoreHierarchyState(actionBarStates);
} else {
Log.w(TAG, "Missing saved instance states for action bar views! " +
"State will not be restored.");
}
}
}
这里由于ViewGroup没有覆写save/restoreHierarchyState()方法，所以最终调用的是View中的方法，这里我们看下其源码：
/**
* Store this view hierarchy's frozen state into the given container.
*
* @param container The SparseArray in which to save the view's state.
*
* @see #restoreHierarchyState(android.util.SparseArray)
* @see #dispatchSaveInstanceState(android.util.SparseArray)
* @see #onSaveInstanceState()
*/
public void saveHierarchyState(SparseArray container) {
dispatchSaveInstanceState(container); // 调相应的dispatchXXX方法
}
/**
* Called by {@link #saveHierarchyState(android.util.SparseArray)} to store the state for
* this view and its children. May be overridden to modify how freezing happens to a
* view's children; for example, some views may want to not store state for their children.
*

*
* @see #dispatchRestoreInstanceState(android.util.SparseArray)
* @see #saveHierarchyState(android.util.SparseArray)

*/
protected void dispatchSaveInstanceState(SparseArray container) {一个View必须有valid(非0)的mID，也就是说你
if (mID != NO_ID && (mViewFlags & SAVE_DISABLED_MASK) == 0) { // 要么在xml里通过android:id指定要么在代码里通过setId
mPrivateFlags &= ~PFLAG_SAVE_STATE_CALLED; // 调用来设置，而且SAVE_DISABLED位没被打开，save才会发生
Parcelable state = onSaveInstanceState(); // 换句话说我们本文讲的所有东西都是和有valid id的View相关的，
if ((mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_SAVE_STATE_CALLED) == 0) { // 和NO_ID的View无关
throw new IllegalStateException( // 注意这里的检测，也就是说子类必须要调用父类的onSaveInstanceState()方法，否则会抛异常
"Derived class did not call super.onSaveInstanceState()");
}
if (state != null) {
// Log.i("View", "Freezing #" + Integer.toHexString(mID)
// + ": " + state);
container.put(mID, state); // 这行代码，将state放进SparseArray中，以view自身的id为key，所以我们一开始的例子在这里
} // 就有问题了，key相同的情况下，后面的put会覆盖掉前面put的结果
}
}

}
最后，为了完整起见，我们看一个典型&简单的View子类对这2个方法的实现，android.widget.CompoundButton，源码如下：
@Override
public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState() {
// Force our ancestor class to save its state
setFreezesText(true);
Parcelable superState = super.onSaveInstanceState(); // 记得调用super的实现，否则会抛异常的
SavedState ss = new SavedState(superState);
// 这里将是否勾选保存了起来，以便后续恢复
ss.checked = isChecked();
return ss; // 返回我们自己的状态
}
@Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) {
SavedState ss = (SavedState) state;
super.onRestoreInstanceState(ss.getSuperState()); // 同样记得调用super的实现
setChecked(ss.checked); // restore回来。。。
requestLayout(); // 重新layout下
}
这里再附上一个StackOverflow上关于此主题的问答帖：自定义view状态保存。
总结
到现在为止，我们可以重新审视下Android中关于View id的说法了。官方的说法是在整个view树中id不一定非要唯一，但你至少要保证在你搜索的这部分view树中是唯一的（局部唯一）。因为很显然，如果同一个layout文件中有2个id都是android:id="@+id/button"的Button，那你通过findViewById的时候只能找到前面的button，后面的那个就没机会被找到了，所以Android的说法是合理的。只是在本文一开始那里的情况下，它没有提及，所以还应该加上特别重要的一条：当你的View需要save/restore状态的时候（默认是都会需要的），一定要保证他们有全局unique的id！因为Android内部用view id作为保存、恢复状态时使用的Key（SparseArray的key），否则就会发生一个覆盖另一个的悲剧而你却得不到任何提示或警告。不过有时候，我们经常需要将同一个布局文件（比如某个item view）inflate出来后加到一个ViewGroup中，这时候想要有全局唯一的id就有点难了，在这种情况下的状态保存一定要注意下，因为肯定会发生一个覆盖另一个的事情，有时如果你明确知道不需要保存、恢复状态，可以在xml中使用android:saveEnabled="false"来显式关闭这个功能。关于最后这里提到的没法避免的相同view id的事情，可以参考笔者的另一篇文章：fragment状态保存&恢复。
