Android开发中StackOverflowError错误实例分析
一、概述
我在一个复杂的layout嵌套较多的android界面，碰到了java.lang.StackOverflowError这个Fatal Exception，app程序crash退出。这个错误出现的比较奇怪，在我做技术调研的时候，这个界面是放在单独的一个程序中展示的，工作很正常，没有出现这个严重错误,当将其嵌入到一个ActivityGroup后才报错。

android SDK中对该错误的出现的场景描述为：由于栈调用的层次太多，超过了虚拟器dalvik的最大限制（作为一个虚拟器参数，可定制）导致的。当程序编写错误导致无限递归调用时会触发，此外程序正确但是递归调用的层次过深也会触发。

结合我的界面的情况，在单独程序中运行时没有问题，则说明不存在死循环的无限递归错误。观察该界面的集成情况，发现为了Tab页实现，该界面在显示时，被两个ActivityGroup嵌套，增加了6层显式父layout。而因为该界面复杂，设计时，list_header view的layout深度为5层，而list_item的深度则为6层。原因定位为界面嵌套层次过深。

二、解决方法
解决嵌套过深的基本思路是在实现同样的效果的前提下减少界面的layout深度。在我将list_header view layout深度由5层精简为3层，list_item 深度由6层减少为4层后，该错误被解决。具体的方法有：
1) 多用RelativeLayout的各种布局属性来完成布局，而避免过多使用嵌套layout来实现。
2) 占位或填充剩余空间的元素多用View，避免使用layout等viewGroup。

总结下，从实际的数据来看，设计中layout嵌套深度超过10层，就应该考虑下优化了，否则就会出现java.lang.StackOverflowError的crash了。
