大家初学java时候都知道java的程序入口是从main方法进入,那么Android是基于java编写的,那Android的程序入口做了哪些操作呢?还有Android的应用程序到底是怎样启动的呢?我们一起来看一下.

首先附上ActivityThread.java的main方法:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain"); 
        SamplingProfilerIntegration.start(); 

        // CloseGuard defaults to true and can be quite spammy.  We
        // disable it here, but selectively enable it later (via
        // StrictMode) on debug builds, but using DropBox, not logs.
        CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);

        Environment.initForCurrentUser();

        // Set the reporter for event logging in libcore
        EventLogger.setReporter(new EventLoggingReporter());

        AndroidKeyStoreProvider.install();

        // Make sure TrustedCertificateStore looks in the right place for CA certificates
        final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
        TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);

        Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");

        Looper.prepareMainLooper(); //实例化Looper并设置到ThreadLocal里面,赋值MainLooper
        
        ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();  //实例化一个ActivityThread
        thread.attach(false);      //主要是获取AMS接口 然后设置ApplicationThread 的接口 给AMS和应用程序通信

        if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {    
            sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();  //设置MainHandler 是一些接受生命周期的方法
        }

        if (false) { 
            Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
                    LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
        }

        // End of event ActivityThreadMain.
        Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
        Looper.loop();  //开始接收消息

        throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
    }

首先我们看第23行:

Looper.prepareMainLooper();

做Android的都知道Looper是handler机制的一个组件

(那么这里就延伸了一个问题,子线程里面能不能创建Handler呢?答案是可以的,但是必须要创建Looper,那么就有人问了,为什么主线程里面不用创建呢?看了Android的代码以后知道了,原来Android已经默默的给创建好了,Android的组件的生命周期也都是由Handler来调用的,下面就会看到)

那么我们来看一下prepareMainLooper()都做了一些什么事情:

public static void prepareMainLooper() {
        prepare(false);
        synchronized (Looper.class) {
            if (sMainLooper != null) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("The main Looper has already been prepared.");
            }
            sMainLooper = myLooper();
        }
}
private static void prepare(boolean quitAllowed) {
        if (sThreadLocal.get() != null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Only one Looper may be created per thread");
        }
        sThreadLocal.set(new Looper(quitAllowed));
}
/**
     * Return the Looper object associated with the current thread.  Returns
     * null if the calling thread is not associated with a Looper.
     */
    public static @Nullable Looper myLooper() {
        return sThreadLocal.get();
}
private Looper(boolean quitAllowed) {
        mQueue = new MessageQueue(quitAllowed);
        mThread = Thread.currentThread();
}

好大家看进入了prepareMainLooper以后首先调用了prepare方法,在prepare方法里面判断了sThreadLocal!=null以后才往下走,这就解释了一个线程只能有一个Looper,实例化了一个Looper并设置给sThreadLocal,那么看到Looper的构造方法里面创建了MessageQueue一个消息队列和获取当前的线程Thread并赋值.

然后在prepareMainLooper下面又执行了一句代码把刚才创建的Looper赋值给sMainLooper.

(这个sMainLooper就是主线程的Looper也就是UI线程的Looper,在开发Android应用时有时也会获取它和当前线程的Looper比较,可以知道当前是不是在主线程....额...有点跑题了)

那么这段代码就结束了,我们继续往下看.

第25行实例化了ActivityThread对象:

第26行调用了AcitivityThread对象的attach方法,那么来看一下究竟做了什么:

private void attach(boolean system) {
        sCurrentActivityThread = this;
        mSystemThread = system;
        if (!system) {
            ViewRootImpl.addFirstDrawHandler(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    ensureJitEnabled();
                }
            });
            android.ddm.DdmHandleAppName.setAppName("<pre-initialized>",
                                                    UserHandle.myUserId());
            RuntimeInit.setApplicationObject(mAppThread.asBinder());
            final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault();
            try {
                mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);
            } catch (RemoteException ex) {
                // Ignore
            }
            // Watch for getting close to heap limit.
            BinderInternal.addGcWatcher(new Runnable() {
                @Override public void run() {
                    if (!mSomeActivitiesChanged) {
                        return;
                    }
                    Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
                    long dalvikMax = runtime.maxMemory();
                    long dalvikUsed = runtime.totalMemory() - runtime.freeMemory();
                    if (dalvikUsed > ((3*dalvikMax)/4)) {
                        if (DEBUG_MEMORY_TRIM) Slog.d(TAG, "Dalvik max=" + (dalvikMax/1024)
                                + " total=" + (runtime.totalMemory()/1024)
                                + " used=" + (dalvikUsed/1024));
                        mSomeActivitiesChanged = false;
                        try {
                            mgr.releaseSomeActivities(mAppThread);
                        } catch (RemoteException e) {
                        }
                    }
                }
            });
        } else {
            // Don't set application object here -- if the system crashes,
            // we can't display an alert, we just want to die die die.
            android.ddm.DdmHandleAppName.setAppName("system_process",
                    UserHandle.myUserId());
            try {
                mInstrumentation = new Instrumentation();
                ContextImpl context = ContextImpl.createAppContext(
                        this, getSystemContext().mPackageInfo);
                mInitialApplication = context.mPackageInfo.makeApplication(true, null);
                mInitialApplication.onCreate();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(
                        "Unable to instantiate Application():" + e.toString(), e);
            }
        }

        // add dropbox logging to libcore
        DropBox.setReporter(new DropBoxReporter());

        ViewRootImpl.addConfigCallback(new ComponentCallbacks2() {
            @Override
            public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
                synchronized (mResourcesManager) {
                    // We need to apply this change to the resources
                    // immediately, because upon returning the view
                    // hierarchy will be informed about it.
                    if (mResourcesManager.applyConfigurationToResourcesLocked(newConfig, null)) {
                        // This actually changed the resources!  Tell
                        // everyone about it.
                        if (mPendingConfiguration == null ||
                                mPendingConfiguration.isOtherSeqNewer(newConfig)) {
                            mPendingConfiguration = newConfig;

                            sendMessage(H.CONFIGURATION_CHANGED, newConfig);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            @Override
            public void onLowMemory() {
            }
            @Override
            public void onTrimMemory(int level) {
            }
        });
}

调用的时候参数传递false说明不是系统调用的,那么我们就看if语句块里面的,主要就看14行和16行的代码:

 final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault();        
 mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);

那么这两句代码首先Android系统中存在一个ActivityManagerService(简称AMS)(大白话就叫Activity管理服务),他是来调度Android程序里面的Activity的开启等工作.

那么ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()就是获取了这个ActivityManagerService的Binder接口(Binder:跨进程通信),然后调用了attachApplication传入了一个mAppThread.

那么这个mAppThread是什么呢?

它是ApplicationThread在全局声明并初始化,这个东西也是一个继承了Binder的类,把他传递给AMS,以后AMS就拿这个东西和应用程序进行通信.
            

然后再回到ActivityThread的代码中,设置了一个sMainThreadHandler,这个thread.getHandler()方法返回了一个名为H的继承自Handler的一个类:

private class H extends Handler {
        public static final int LAUNCH_ACTIVITY         = 100;

            updatePendingConfiguration(curConfig);

            sendMessage(H.LAUNCH_ACTIVITY, r);

那么这里贴出了ApplicationThread的部分代码,这个类很多,都是一些创建组件啊,和组件的暂停,销毁的一些声明周期,通过Binder机制调用了以后,在方法里面调用sendMessage()方法,最后会走到刚才H类的handleMessage方法做处理.

那么主要看一下scheduleLaunchActivity,从AMS传递过来一堆参数,都是Activity的一些信息,把他们都封装到了ActivityClientRecord对象里,然后调用sendMessage方法最终调用到handleMessage里面.

那么看H类的handleMessage的switch语句,第一个就是LAUNCH_ACTIVITY那么看一下handleLaunchActivity把ActivityClientRecord传递进去,看一下代码:

private void handleLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
        // If we are getting ready to gc after going to the background, well
        // we are back active so skip it.
        unscheduleGcIdler();
        mSomeActivitiesChanged = true;

        if (r.profilerInfo != null) {
            mProfiler.setProfiler(r.profilerInfo);
            mProfiler.startProfiling();
        }

        // Make sure we are running with the most recent config.
        handleConfigurationChanged(null, null);

        if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
            TAG, "Handling launch of " + r);

        // Initialize before creating the activity
        WindowManagerGlobal.initialize(); //创建Activity之前初始化全局窗口管理者

        Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);   //获得一个Activity对象

        if (a != null) {
            r.createdConfig = new Configuration(mConfiguration);
            Bundle oldState = r.state;
            handleResumeActivity(r.token, false, r.isForward,
                    !r.activity.mFinished && !r.startsNotResumed);

            if (!r.activity.mFinished && r.startsNotResumed) {
                // The activity manager actually wants this one to start out
                // paused, because it needs to be visible but isn't in the
                // foreground.  We accomplish this by going through the
                // normal startup (because activities expect to go through
                // onResume() the first time they run, before their window
                // is displayed), and then pausing it.  However, in this case
                // we do -not- need to do the full pause cycle (of freezing
                // and such) because the activity manager assumes it can just
                // retain the current state it has.
                try {
                    r.activity.mCalled = false;
                    mInstrumentation.callActivityOnPause(r.activity);
                    // We need to keep around the original state, in case
                    // we need to be created again.  But we only do this
                    // for pre-Honeycomb apps, which always save their state
                    // when pausing, so we can not have them save their state
                    // when restarting from a paused state.  For HC and later,
                    // we want to (and can) let the state be saved as the normal
                    // part of stopping the activity.
                    if (r.isPreHoneycomb()) {
                        r.state = oldState;
                    }
                    if (!r.activity.mCalled) {
                        throw new SuperNotCalledException(
                            "Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() +
                            " did not call through to super.onPause()");
                    }

                } catch (SuperNotCalledException e) {
                    throw e;

                } catch (Exception e) {
                    if (!mInstrumentation.onException(r.activity, e)) {
                        throw new RuntimeException(
                                "Unable to pause activity "
                                + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString()
                                + ": " + e.toString(), e);
                    }
                }
                r.paused = true;
            }
        } else {
            // If there was an error, for any reason, tell the activity
            // manager to stop us.
            try {
                ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
                    .finishActivity(r.token, Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null, false);
            } catch (RemoteException ex) {
                // Ignore
            }
        }
}

那么主要看一下performLaunchActivity把Activity信息传递进去获取了一个Activity对象,那么下面直接就调用resume了,那么也就是说在performLaunchActivity里面已经调用了onCreate和onStart了,看一下代码:

private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
        // System.out.println("##### [" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "] ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(" + r + ")");

        ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo; //Activity的信息,启动模式Theme 烂七八糟的
        if (r.packageInfo == null) {
            r.packageInfo = getPackageInfo(aInfo.applicationInfo, r.compatInfo,
                    Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE);
        }

        ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent();  //应该就是完整的包名+类名 
        if (component == null) {
            component = r.intent.resolveActivity(
                mInitialApplication.getPackageManager());
            r.intent.setComponent(component);
        }

        if (r.activityInfo.targetActivity != null) {
            component = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName,
                    r.activityInfo.targetActivity);
        }

        Activity activity = null;
        try {
            java.lang.ClassLoader cl = r.packageInfo.getClassLoader();
            activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity(
                    cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);      //ClassLoader加载Activity类
            StrictMode.incrementExpectedActivityCount(activity.getClass());
            r.intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl);
            r.intent.prepareToEnterProcess();
            if (r.state != null) {
                r.state.setClassLoader(cl);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) {
                throw new RuntimeException(
                    "Unable to instantiate activity " + component
                    + ": " + e.toString(), e);
            }
        }

        try {
            Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);  //搞到Application

            if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Performing launch of " + r);
            if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
                    TAG, r + ": app=" + app
                    + ", appName=" + app.getPackageName()
                    + ", pkg=" + r.packageInfo.getPackageName()

            if (activity != null) {
                Context appContext = createBaseContextForActivity(r, activity);
                CharSequence title = r.activityInfo.loadLabel(appContext.getPackageManager()); //Lable
                Configuration config = new Configuration(mCompatConfiguration);
                if (DEBUG_CONFIGURATION) Slog.v(TAG, "Launching activity "
                        + r.activityInfo.name + " with config " + config);
                activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token,

                if (customIntent != null) {
                    activity.mIntent = customIntent;
                }

首先呢通过ActivityClientRecord参数获取到AcitivtyInfo和组件的包名+类名,然后获取了ClassLoader类加载器,接下来使用mInstrumentation.newActivity把类加载器,包名及Intent传递进去,通过反射来获取到编写的Activity类,这样就获取到了Activity.

接下来依序获取了Context,Title之类的配置通过activity调用attach方法设置了以后,获取了Theme设置给Activity通过mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate()间接调用了Activity的方法,然后下面又调用了onStart方法,那么这个方法结束以后出去下面又调用了onResume(),至此Activity处于Active(活动状态).

那么最后说一下Activity的启动流程.首先呢从Launch(手机桌面),它本身就是一个应用程序.

1.点击一个图标后他会通过AMS接口告诉AMS我要开启一个应用程序,

2.然后AMS就通过ApplicationThread告诉Launch进入Pause状态,

3.然后进入了pause后会告诉AMS我已经pause了,

4.接下来AMS去创建进程啊,什么Acitivity的任务栈啊供ActivityThread运行

5.,ActivityThread通过AMS的Binder接口传递给它ApplicationThread,

6.AMS一看,好没有问题,你该干啥干啥吧,有事喊我.

那么这就是一个Android应用的启动流程了,那么至于Activity的开启过程呢,就是少了创建进程和Activity任务栈之类的,其他都差不多,都是通过AMS来管理,那么这篇文章就结束,谢谢.
