MultiDex分析

MultiDex support 包是为了解决SDK 20以前单个dex文件的方法数量限制问题（65535 = 64k方法数问题）

MultiDex#install() -> doInstallation()

dex 保存位置 /data/data/pkg/code_cache/secondary-dexes

1. 从安装位置的apk包(/data/app/pkg-1.apk)中提取classesN.dex文件到数据区（/data/data/pkg/code_cache/secondary-dexes/xxx.zip）

private static void doInstallation(Context mainContext, File sourceApk, File dataDir,
            String secondaryFolderName, String prefsKeyPrefix) throws IOException,
                IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, NoSuchFieldException,
                InvocationTargetException, NoSuchMethodException {
            // ...
            try {
              clearOldDexDir(mainContext);
            } catch (Throwable t) {
              Log.w(TAG, "Something went wrong when trying to clear old MultiDex extraction, "
                  + "continuing without cleaning.", t);
            }
            // /data/data/pkg/code_cache/secondary-dexes/
            File dexDir = getDexDir(mainContext, dataDir, secondaryFolderName);
            
            // 加载dex文件
            List files =
                    MultiDexExtractor.load(mainContext, sourceApk, dexDir, prefsKeyPrefix, false);
            // 注入second dex        
            installSecondaryDexes(loader, dexDir, files);
        }
    }

// 1. 首次、重新提取dex 文件
MultiDexExtractor#load() -> performExtractions()

将apk包中classes2.dex、classes3.dex...等提取出来，放到/data/data/pkg/code_cache/secondary-dexes/目录下，然后返回这些List

提取出来的dex文件保存了其对应的信息，如果文件被修改，那么会触发重新提取的操作

// 2. 直接执行已提取过的dex zip文件
MultiDexExtractor#load() -> loadExistingExtractions()

2. 注入second dex

    private static void installSecondaryDexes(ClassLoader loader, File dexDir,
        List files)
            throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, NoSuchFieldException,
            InvocationTargetException, NoSuchMethodException, IOException {
        if (!files.isEmpty()) {
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
                V19.install(loader, files, dexDir);
            } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
                V14.install(loader, files, dexDir);
            } else {
                V4.install(loader, files);
            }
        }
    }

// 反射获取指定对象的字段对象，用于后面修改对象值
private static Field findField(Object instance, String name) throws NoSuchFieldException {
        for (Class clazz = instance.getClass(); clazz != null; clazz = clazz.getSuperclass()) {
            try {
                Field field = clazz.getDeclaredField(name);
                if (!field.isAccessible()) {
                    field.setAccessible(true);
                }
                return field;
            } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
                // ignore and search next
            }
        }
        throw new NoSuchFieldException("Field " + name + " not found in " + instance.getClass());
    }
    
    // 反射获取指定对象的方法对象，用于后面调用改方法
    private static Method findMethod(Object instance, String name, Class... parameterTypes)
            throws NoSuchMethodException {
        for (Class clazz = instance.getClass(); clazz != null; clazz = clazz.getSuperclass()) {
            try {
                Method method = clazz.getDeclaredMethod(name, parameterTypes);
                if (!method.isAccessible()) {
                    method.setAccessible(true);
                }
                return method;
            } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
                // ignore and search next
            }
        }
        throw new NoSuchMethodException("Method " + name + " with parameters " +
                Arrays.asList(parameterTypes) + " not found in " + instance.getClass());
    }
    
    // 将指定对象的字段值加上新的内容值
    private static void expandFieldArray(Object instance, String fieldName,
            Object[] extraElements) throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException,
            IllegalAccessException {
        Field jlrField = findField(instance, fieldName);
        Object[] original = (Object[]) jlrField.get(instance);
        Object[] combined = (Object[]) Array.newInstance(
                original.getClass().getComponentType(), original.length + extraElements.length);
        System.arraycopy(original, 0, combined, 0, original.length);
        System.arraycopy(extraElements, 0, combined, original.length, extraElements.length);
        jlrField.set(instance, combined);
    }

                    suppressedExceptions);

    }

这里的操作是把额外的dex文件附加到classloader中去

相似的做法是用来做热修复的方式，把修复的dex插入到前面去
