LeakCanary的原理

class MyApp : Application(){
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        LeakCanary.install(this)
    }
}

public static @NonNull RefWatcher install(@NonNull Application application) {
    return refWatcher(application).listenerServiceClass(DisplayLeakService.class)
        .excludedRefs(AndroidExcludedRefs.createAppDefaults().build())
        .buildAndInstall();
}

public @NonNull RefWatcher buildAndInstall() {
    if (LeakCanaryInternals.installedRefWatcher != null) {
      throw new UnsupportedOperationException("buildAndInstall() should only be called once.");
    }
    RefWatcher refWatcher = build();
    if (refWatcher != DISABLED) {
      if (enableDisplayLeakActivity) {
        LeakCanaryInternals.setEnabledAsync(context, DisplayLeakActivity.class, true);
      }
      if (watchActivities) {
        ActivityRefWatcher.install(context, refWatcher);
      }
      if (watchFragments) {
        FragmentRefWatcher.Helper.install(context, refWatcher);
      }
    }
    LeakCanaryInternals.installedRefWatcher = refWatcher;
    return refWatcher;
}

看看Activities的监听流程

  public static void install(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull RefWatcher refWatcher) {
    Application application = (Application) context.getApplicationContext();
    ActivityRefWatcher activityRefWatcher = new ActivityRefWatcher(application, refWatcher);

    application.registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(activityRefWatcher.lifecycleCallbacks);
  }

这里会使用application.registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks注册一个Activity的生命周期回掉函数,lifecycleCallbacks实际上监听了Activity的Destroy回掉

  private final Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks lifecycleCallbacks =
      new ActivityLifecycleCallbacksAdapter() {
        @Override public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
          refWatcher.watch(activity);
        }
      };
