我们在根据layout文件得到View的时候都会使用LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate().下面我们来分析这个获取View流程。
我们知道inflate有如下函数:
inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root);
inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot);
inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot);
其实点进去查看可以知道，其实都到了这个方法:
inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot);
源码如下：
/**
* Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified XML node. Throws
* {@link InflateException} if there is an error.
*
* Important For performance
* reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files
* that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to
* use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime.
*
* @param parser XML dom node containing the description of the view
* hierarchy.
* @param root Optional view to be the parent of the generated hierarchy (if
* attachToRoot is true), or else simply an object that
* provides a set of LayoutParams values for root of the returned
* hierarchy (if attachToRoot is false.)
* @param attachToRoot Whether the inflated hierarchy should be attached to
* the root parameter? If false, root is only used to create the
* correct subclass of LayoutParams for the root view in the XML.
* @return The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied and
* attachToRoot is true, this is root; otherwise it is the root of
* the inflated XML file.
*/
public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {
synchronized (mConstructorArgs) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, "inflate");
final Context inflaterContext = mContext;
final AttributeSet attrs = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);
Context lastContext = (Context) mConstructorArgs[0];
mConstructorArgs[0] = inflaterContext;
View result = root;
try {
// Look for the root node.
int type;
while ((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.START_TAG &&
type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
// Empty
}
if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
throw new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription()
+ ": No start tag found!");
}
final String name = parser.getName();
if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("**************************");
System.out.println("Creating root view: "
+ name);
System.out.println("**************************");
}
if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {
if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {
throw new InflateException("
其实就是通过XmlPullParser来解析layout.xml布局
在这里通过判断，如果是merge标签就会执行如下方法:
/**
* Recursive method used to descend down the xml hierarchy and instantiate
* views, instantiate their children, and then call onFinishInflate().
*
* Note: Default visibility so the BridgeInflater can
* override it.
*/
void rInflate(XmlPullParser parser, View parent, Context context,
AttributeSet attrs, boolean finishInflate) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
final int depth = parser.getDepth();
int type;
while (((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.END_TAG ||
parser.getDepth() > depth) && type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
continue;
}
final String name = parser.getName();
if (TAG_REQUEST_FOCUS.equals(name)) {
parseRequestFocus(parser, parent);
} else if (TAG_TAG.equals(name)) {
parseViewTag(parser, parent, attrs);
} else if (TAG_INCLUDE.equals(name)) {
if (parser.getDepth() == 0) {
throw new InflateException("
我这主要讲根据layout.xml获取里面的View流程，这些不同的标签不同的解析方式,在这不进行细讲，有趣的可以自行查看源码。在这我们重点看createViewFromTag函数，因为在如果layout开始标签不是merge的话也会调用这个函数创建View,可以发现最终进入：
/**
* Creates a view from a tag name using the supplied attribute set.
*
* Note: Default visibility so the BridgeInflater can
* override it.
*
* @param parent the parent view, used to inflate layout params
* @param name the name of the XML tag used to define the view
* @param context the inflation context for the view, typically the
* {@code parent} or base layout inflater context
* @param attrs the attribute set for the XML tag used to define the view
* @param ignoreThemeAttr {@code true} to ignore the {@code android:theme}
* attribute (if set) for the view being inflated,
* {@code false} otherwise
*/
View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
boolean ignoreThemeAttr) {
if (name.equals("view")) {
name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class");
}
// Apply a theme wrapper, if allowed and one is specified.
if (!ignoreThemeAttr) {
final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
if (themeResId != 0) {
context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
}
ta.recycle();
}
if (name.equals(TAG_1995)) {
// Let's party like it's 1995!
return new BlinkLayout(context, attrs);
}
try {
View view;
if (mFactory2 != null) {
view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
} else if (mFactory != null) {
view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, context, attrs);
} else {
view = null;
}
if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) {
view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
}
if (view == null) {
final Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
mConstructorArgs[0] = context;
try {
if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) {
view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
} else {
view = createView(name, null, attrs);
}
} finally {
mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
}
}
return view;
} catch (InflateException e) {
throw e;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
+ ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
} catch (Exception e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
+ ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
}
}
通过这段函数可以知道到View是在这里创建的:
View view;
if (mFactory2 != null) {
view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
} else if (mFactory != null) {
view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, context, attrs);
} else {
view = null;
}
if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) {
view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
}
if (view == null) {
final Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
mConstructorArgs[0] = context;
try {
if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) {
view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
} else {
view = createView(name, null, attrs);
}
} finally {
mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
}
}
return view;
可以发现View创建经过了实际是由mFactory2-->Factory-->mPrivateFactory的判断才进入到了onCreateView方法，在这里我们就可以知道，如果我们要拦截View的创建，我们就可以给LayoutInflater设置一个我们自定义的一个Factory即可，并且创建View的规则我们在自己的Factory类中实现即可。具体的实现方式点此查看,我们继续看onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
如果是-1 == name.indexOf('.')的，即不是自定义的View将会执行:
createView(name, "android.view.", attrs);
是自定义的则是:
view = createView(name, null, attrs);
createView(String name, String prefix, AttributeSet attrs)函数如下:
/**
* Low-level function for instantiating a view by name. This attempts to
* instantiate a view class of the given name found in this
* LayoutInflater's ClassLoader.
*
*
* There are two things that can happen in an error case: either the
* exception describing the error will be thrown, or a null will be
* returned. You must deal with both possibilities -- the former will happen
* the first time createView() is called for a class of a particular name,
* the latter every time there-after for that class name.
*
* @param name The full name of the class to be instantiated.
* @param attrs The XML attributes supplied for this instance.
*
* @return View The newly instantiated view, or null.

public final View createView(String name, String prefix, AttributeSet attrs)
throws ClassNotFoundException, InflateException {
Constructor constructor = sConstructorMap.get(name);
if (constructor != null && !verifyClassLoader(constructor)) {
constructor = null;
sConstructorMap.remove(name);

Class clazz = null;
try {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, name);

args[1] = attrs;
final View view = constructor.newInstance(args);
if (view instanceof ViewStub) {
// Use the same context when inflating ViewStub later.
final ViewStub viewStub = (ViewStub) view;
viewStub.setLayoutInflater(cloneInContext((Context) args[0]));
}
return view;
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()

throw e;

}
}
可以知道其实就是通过反射来进行View的创建,先在constructor缓存集合sConstructorMap里面查找对应的View的constructor进行初始化，如果没有就通过反射拿到constructor，然后缓存到sConstructorMap里面，创建View的时候是通过prefix拼接的,如果xml里面是TextView则拼接出来则是android.view.TextView,所以上面不是自定的View的话，执行的是createView(name, "android.view.", attrs);，如果是自定义的话就不用拼接了。可以发现通过代码
constructor = clazz.getConstructor(mConstructorSignature);
static final Class[] mConstructorSignature = new Class[] {
Context.class, AttributeSet.class};
得知，最终创建View的构造方法是带有Context和AttributeSet参数的方法，这也就解析了我们在自定义一些View的时候，如果不重写这个带有这两个参数的方法的话将会崩溃的现象。
LayoutInflater.inflate()源码流程分析就到这里了。因为在这里读的是流程，所有很多细节的东西还是希望大家自己去源码中看看。
