基于Android10.0，分析ContentProvider原理
一、概述
ContentProvider用于提供数据的统一访问格式，封装具体的实现。对于数据的使用无需知道是数据库、文件、网络，只需要使用ContentProvider的数据操作接口，即增（insert）删（delete）改（update）查（query）。
1.1 ContentProvider
ContentProvider作为四大组件之一，没有Activity复杂的生命周期，只有简单的onCreate过程。ContentProvider是一个抽象类，当实现自己的ContentProvider类，需要继承ContentProvider，并且实现下面6个抽象即可：
insert(Uri, ContentValues)：插入新数据；
delete(Uri, String, String[])：删除已有数据；
update(Uri, ContentValues, String, String[])：更新数据；
query(Uri, String[], String, String[], String)：查询数据；
onCreate()：执行初始化工作；
getType(Uri)：获取数据MIME类型。Uri数据格式如下：content://com.skytoby.articles/android/1
字段 | 含义 | 对应项 |
前缀 | 默认的固定开头格式 | content:// |
授权 | 唯一表示provider | com.skytoby.articles |
路径 | 数据类别以及数据项 | /android/1 |
1.2 ContentResolver
其他进程想要操作ContentProvider，需要获取其对应的ContentResolver，利用ContentResolver类完成对数据的增删改查操作，下面列举一个查询的操作。
//获取ContentResolver
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://com.skytoby.articles/android/1");
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri, null, null, null, null); //执行查询操作
...
cursor.close(); //关闭1.3 类图
CPP和CPN是Binder通信的C/S两端
ACR（ApplicationContentResolver）继承于ContentResolver，是ContextImpl的内部类，ACR的实现通过调用其成员变量mMainThread来实现。
1.4 重要成员变量
类名 | 成员变量 | 含义 |
AMS | CONTENT_PROVIDER_PUBLISH_TIMEOUT | 默认值为10s |
AMS | mProviderMap | 记录所有contentProvider |
AMS | mLaunchingProviders | 记录存在客户端等待publish的ContentProviderRecord |
PR | pubProviders | 该进程创建的ContentProviderRecord |
PR | conProviders | 该进程使用的ContentProviderConnection |
AT | mLocalProviders | 记录所有本地的ContentProvider，以IBinder以key |
AT | mLocalProvidersByName | 记录所有本地的ContentProvider，以组件名为key |
AT | mProviderMap | 记录该进程的contentProvider |
AT | mProviderRefCountMap | 记录所有对其他进程中的ContentProvider的引用计数 |
-
CONTENT_PROVIDER_PUBLISH_TIMEOUT(10s): provider所在进程发布其ContentProvider的超时时长为10s，超过10s则会系统所杀; -
mProviderMap： AMS和AT都有一个同名的成员变量, AMS的数据类型为ProviderMap,而AT则是以ProviderKey为key的ArrayMap类型; -
mLaunchingProviders：记录的每一项是一个ContentProviderRecord对象, 所有的存在client等待其发布完成的contentProvider列表，一旦发布完成则相应的contentProvider便会从该列表移除； - PR:ProcessRecord, AT: ActivityThread；
-
mLocalProviders和mLocalProvidersByName：都是用于记录所有本地的ContentProvider,不同的只是key。
1.5 query流程图
二、发布ContentProvider
通过ContentProvider共享数据时，需要编写一个类继承ContentProvier，创建数据库，并在AndroidManifest声明该Provider，这样其他的进行就可以通过ContentResolver去查询共享的信息。先来看一下应用时如何发布ContentProvider，提供给其他应用使用。ContentProvider一般是在应用进程启动的时候启动，是四大组件中最早启动的。进程的启动在四大组件与进程启动那里有详细的分析。
发布ContentProvider分两种情况：Provider进程未启动，Provider进程已经启动但未发布。
- Provider进程未启动
systemserver进程调用startProcessLocked创建provider进程，并attach到systemserver后，通过binder机制到Provider进程执行bindApplication方法，见2.1节。 - Provider进程已经启动但未发布
如果发现provider进程已经存在且attach到systemserver，但对应的provider还没有发布，
则通过binder机制到provider进程执行scheduleInstallProvider方法，见2.7节。
这两种情况最后都会走到installProvider这个方法。
2.1 Provider进程未启动
2.1.1 AT.bindApplication
[->ActivityThread.java]
public final void bindApplication(String processName, ApplicationInfo appInfo,
List<ProviderInfo> providers, ComponentName instrumentationName,
ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle instrumentationArgs,

boolean enableBinderTracking, boolean trackAllocation,
boolean isRestrictedBackupMode, boolean persistent, Configuration config,
CompatibilityInfo compatInfo, Map services, Bundle coreSettings,
String buildSerial, boolean autofillCompatibilityEnabled) {
AppBindData data = new AppBindData();
data.processName = processName;
data.appInfo = appInfo;
//provider
data.providers = providers;
...
sendMessage(H.BIND_APPLICATION, data);
}发送BIND_APPLICATION消息到主线程。
2.1.2 AT.handleMessage
[->ActivityThread.java]
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) Slog.v(TAG, ">>> handling: " + codeToString(msg.what));
switch (msg.what) {
case BIND_APPLICATION:

AppBindData data = (AppBindData)msg.obj;
handleBindApplication(data);

}
...
}主线程收到BIND_APPLICATION后，执行handleBindApplication方法。

}

}
retHolder = prc.holder;
}
}
return retHolder;
}这里主要是通过反射获取获取contentprovider，并回调其onCreate方法，最后对ContentProviderHolder进行赋值并返回。
2.1.6 AMS.publishContentProviders
[->ActivityManagerService.java]
public final void publishContentProviders(IApplicationThread caller,
List<ContentProviderHolder> providers) {
if (providers == null) {
return;
}
enforceNotIsolatedCaller("publishContentProviders");
synchronized (this) {
final ProcessRecord r = getRecordForAppLocked(caller);
if (DEBUG_MU) Slog.v(TAG_MU, "ProcessRecord uid = " + r.uid);
if (r == null) {
throw new SecurityException(
"Unable to find app for caller " + caller
+ " (pid=" + Binder.getCallingPid()
+ ") when publishing content providers");
}
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
final int N = providers.size();
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
ContentProviderHolder src = providers.get(i);
if (src == null || src.info == null || src.provider == null) {
continue;
}
ContentProviderRecord dst = r.pubProviders.get(src.info.name);
if (DEBUG_MU) Slog.v(TAG_MU, "ContentProviderRecord uid = " + dst.uid);
if (dst != null) {
ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(dst.info.packageName, dst.info.name);
//将该provider添加到mProviderMap
mProviderMap.putProviderByClass(comp, dst);
String names[] = dst.info.authority.split(";");
for (int j = 0; j < names.length; j++) {
mProviderMap.putProviderByName(names[j], dst);
}
int launchingCount = mLaunchingProviders.size();
int j;
boolean wasInLaunchingProviders = false;
for (j = 0; j < launchingCount; j++) {
if (mLaunchingProviders.get(j) == dst) {
mLaunchingProviders.remove(j);
wasInLaunchingProviders = true;
j--;
launchingCount--;
}
}
if (wasInLaunchingProviders) {
//移除超时消息
mHandler.removeMessages(CONTENT_PROVIDER_PUBLISH_TIMEOUT_MSG, r);
}
synchronized (dst) {
dst.provider = src.provider;
dst.proc = r;
//唤醒客户端的wait等待方法
dst.notifyAll();
}
//更新adj
updateOomAdjLocked(r, true);
maybeUpdateProviderUsageStatsLocked(r, src.info.packageName,
src.info.authority);
}
}
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
}ContentProviders一旦publish成功，则会移除超时发布的消息，并调用notifyAll来唤醒所有等待client端进程。
2.2 Provider进程启动但未发布
下面在看下Provider进程未发布的情况，。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
2.2.1 AT.scheduleInstallProvider
[->ActivityThread.java]
@Override
public void scheduleInstallProvider(ProviderInfo provider) {
sendMessage(H.INSTALL_PROVIDER, provider);
}
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
...
case INSTALL_PROVIDER:
handleInstallProvider((ProviderInfo) msg.obj);
break;
...
}2.2.2 AT.handleInstallProvider
[->ActivityThread.java]
public void handleInstallProvider(ProviderInfo info) {
final StrictMode.ThreadPolicy oldPolicy = StrictMode.allowThreadDiskWrites();
try {
installContentProviders(mInitialApplication, Arrays.asList(info));
} finally {
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(oldPolicy);
}
}这个方法之后就是2.1.4节的流程installContentProviders
三、查询ContentResolver
一般用ContentProvider的时候，会先得到ContentResolver，之后通过uri可以获取相应的信息，下面就从查询方法开始，分析这个过程的源码流程。
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://com.skytoby.articles/android/1");
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, null, null, null, null);3.1 CI.getContentResolver
[->ContextImpl.java]
@Override
public ContentResolver getContentResolver() {
return mContentResolver;
}
private ContextImpl(@Nullable ContextImpl container, @NonNull ActivityThread mainThread,
@NonNull LoadedApk packageInfo, @Nullable String splitName,
@Nullable IBinder activityToken, @Nullable UserHandle user, int flags,
@Nullable ClassLoader classLoader) {
...
mContentResolver = new ApplicationContentResolver(this, mainThread);
}Context中调用getContentResolver，经过层层调用到ContextImpl，返回是在ContextImpl对象创建过程中完成赋值的。下面看下查询的操作。
3.2 CR.query
[->ContentResolver.java]
public final @Nullable Cursor query(@RequiresPermission.Read @NonNull Uri uri,
@Nullable String[] projection, @Nullable String selection,
@Nullable String[] selectionArgs, @Nullable String sortOrder) {
return query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder, null);
}
public final @Nullable Cursor query(final @RequiresPermission.Read @NonNull Uri uri,
@Nullable String[] projection, @Nullable Bundle queryArgs,
@Nullable CancellationSignal cancellationSignal) {
Preconditions.checkNotNull(uri, "uri");
//获取unstableProvider见3.3节
IContentProvider unstableProvider = acquireUnstableProvider(uri);
if (unstableProvider == null) {
return null;
}
IContentProvider stableProvider = null;
Cursor qCursor = null;
try {
long startTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
ICancellationSignal remoteCancellationSignal = null;
if (cancellationSignal != null) {
cancellationSignal.throwIfCanceled();
remoteCancellationSignal = unstableProvider.createCancellationSignal();
cancellationSignal.setRemote(remoteCancellationSignal);
}
try {
//执行查询操作
qCursor = unstableProvider.query(mPackageName, uri, projection,
queryArgs, remoteCancellationSignal);
} catch (DeadObjectException e) {
// The remote process has died... but we only hold an unstable
// reference though, so we might recover!!! Let's try!!!!
// This is exciting!!1!!1!!!!1
//远程进程死亡，处理unstableProvider死亡过程
unstableProviderDied(unstableProvider);
//unstable类型死亡后，在创建stable类型的provider，见3.5节
stableProvider = acquireProvider(uri);
if (stableProvider == null) {
return null;
}
//再次执行查询操作
qCursor = stableProvider.query(
mPackageName, uri, projection, queryArgs, remoteCancellationSignal);
}
if (qCursor == null) {
return null;
}
//强制执行操作，可能会失败并抛出RuntimeException
// Force query execution. Might fail and throw a runtime exception here.
qCursor.getCount();
long durationMillis = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - startTime;
maybeLogQueryToEventLog(durationMillis, uri, projection, queryArgs);
//创建CursorWrapperInner对象
// Wrap the cursor object into CursorWrapperInner object.
final IContentProvider provider = (stableProvider != null) ? stableProvider
: acquireProvider(uri);
final CursorWrapperInner wrapper = new CursorWrapperInner(qCursor, provider);
stableProvider = null;
qCursor = null;
return wrapper;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// Arbitrary and not worth documenting, as Activity
// Manager will kill this process shortly anyway.
return null;
} finally {
if (qCursor != null) {
qCursor.close();
}
if (cancellationSignal != null) {
cancellationSignal.setRemote(null);
}
if (unstableProvider != null) {
releaseUnstableProvider(unstableProvider);
}
if (stableProvider != null) {
releaseProvider(stableProvider);
}
}
}一般获取unstable的Provider：调用acquireUnstableProvider，尝试获取unstable的ContentProvider；然后执行query操作
当执行query操作过程中抛出DeadObjectException，即ContentProvider所在的进程死亡，则尝试获取stable的ContentProvider:
1.先调用unstableProviderDied，清理刚创建的unstable的ContentProvider
2.调用acquireProvider，尝试获取stable的ContentProvider，此时当ContentProvider进程死亡，则会杀掉该ContentProvider的客户端进程；
3.执行query操作。
stable和unstable的区别：
采用unstable类型的ContentProvider的应用不会因为远程ContentProvider进程的死亡而被杀。
采用stable类型的ContentProvider的应用会因为远程ContentProvider进程的死亡而被杀。
对于应用无法决定创建的ContentProvider是stable还是unstable的，也无法知道自己的进程是否依赖于远程进程的生死。
3.3 CR.acquireUnstableProvider
[->ContentResolver.java]
/**
* Returns the content provider for the given content URI.
*
* @param uri The URI to a content provider
* @return The ContentProvider for the given URI, or null if no content provider is found.
* @hide
*/
public final IContentProvider acquireUnstableProvider(Uri uri) {
if (!SCHEME_CONTENT.equals(uri.getScheme())) {
return null;
}
String auth = uri.getAuthority();
if (auth != null) {
//获取UnstableProvider,见3.4节
return acquireUnstableProvider(mContext, uri.getAuthority());
}
return null;
}3.4 ACR.acquireUnstableProvider
[->ContextImpl.java::ApplicationContentResolver]
private static final class ApplicationContentResolver extends ContentResolver {
...
private static final class ApplicationContentResolver extends ContentResolver {
@UnsupportedAppUsage
private final ActivityThread mMainThread;
...
//stable provider
@Override
@UnsupportedAppUsage
protected IContentProvider acquireProvider(Context context, String auth) {
return mMainThread.acquireProvider(context,
ContentProvider.getAuthorityWithoutUserId(auth),
resolveUserIdFromAuthority(auth), true);
}
//unstable provider
@Override
protected IContentProvider acquireUnstableProvider(Context c, String auth) {
return mMainThread.acquireProvider(c,
ContentProvider.getAuthorityWithoutUserId(auth),
resolveUserIdFromAuthority(auth), false);
}
}
}从上面可以看出，无论是acquireProvider还是acquireUnstableProvider方法，最后调用的都市ActivityThread的同一个方法的acquireProvider。getAuthorityWithoutUserId是字符截断过程，即去掉auth中的userid信息，比如com.skytoby.article@666,经过该方法则变成了com.skytoby.article。
3.5 AT.acquireProvider
[->ActivityThread.java]
public final IContentProvider acquireProvider(
Context c, String auth, int userId, boolean stable) {
//获取已经存在的provider
final IContentProvider provider = acquireExistingProvider(c, auth, userId, stable);
if (provider != null) {
//成功则返回
return provider;
}
// There is a possible race here. Another thread may try to acquire
// the same provider at the same time. When this happens, we want to ensure
// that the first one wins.
// Note that we cannot hold the lock while acquiring and installing the
// provider since it might take a long time to run and it could also potentially
// be re-entrant in the case where the provider is in the same process.
ContentProviderHolder holder = null;
try {
synchronized (getGetProviderLock(auth, userId)) {
//见3.6节
holder = ActivityManager.getService().getContentProvider(
getApplicationThread(), auth, userId, stable);
}
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
if (holder == null) {
Slog.e(TAG, "Failed to find provider info for " + auth);
return null;
}
// 安装provider将会增加引用计数，见3.8节
// Install provider will increment the reference count for us, and break
// any ties in the race.
holder = installProvider(c, holder, holder.info,
true /*noisy*/, holder.noReleaseNeeded, stable);
return holder.provider;
}主要过程：1.获取已经存在的provider,如果存在则返回，否则继续执行；
2.通过AMS获取provider，无法获取则返回，否则继续执行；
3.通过installProvider方法安装provider，并增加该provider的引用计数。
3.5.1 AT.acquireExistingProvider
[->ActivityThread.java]
@UnsupportedAppUsage
public final IContentProvider acquireExistingProvider(
Context c, String auth, int userId, boolean stable) {
synchronized (mProviderMap) {
final ProviderKey key = new ProviderKey(auth, userId);
//从mProviderMap中查询是否存在，在2.1.6节发布时将provider添加到了mProviderMap
final ProviderClientRecord pr = mProviderMap.get(key);
if (pr == null) {
return null;
}
IContentProvider provider = pr.mProvider;
IBinder jBinder = provider.asBinder();
if (!jBinder.isBinderAlive()) {
// The hosting process of the provider has died; we can't
// use this one.
Log.i(TAG, "Acquiring provider " + auth + " for user " + userId
+ ": existing object's process dead");
//当provider所在的进程已经死亡则返回
handleUnstableProviderDiedLocked(jBinder, true);
return null;
}
// Only increment the ref count if we have one. If we don't then the
// provider is not reference counted and never needs to be released.
ProviderRefCount prc = mProviderRefCountMap.get(jBinder);
if (prc != null) {
//增加引用计数
incProviderRefLocked(prc, stable);
}
return provider;
}
}查询mProviderMap是否存在provider，如果不存在则直接返回。如果存在判断provider的进程是否死亡，死亡则返回null。如果provider所在的进程还在，则增加引用计数。

}四、总结
本文通过分析了发布ContentProvider的过程，并分析query过程，先获取provider在安装provider信息，最后才查询。而查询操作主要分为两种情况：
4.1 进程未启动
provider进程不存在，需要创建进程并发布相关的provider
1.client进程：通过Binder向systemserver进程请求相应的provider
2.systemserver进程：如果目标进程未启动，则调用startProcessLocked启动进程，当启动完成，当cpr.provider ==null，则systemserver进入wait阶段，等待目标provider发布；
3.provider进程：进程启动后执行attach到systemserver，而后bindApplication，在这个过程会installProvider和PublishContentProviders,再binder到systemserver进程；
4.systemserver进程：回到systemserver发布provider信息，并且通过notify机制唤醒当前处于wait状态的binder线程，并将结果返回给client进程；
5.client进程：回到client进程，执行installProvider操作，安装provider
关于CONTENT_PROVIDER_PUBLISH_TIMEOUT超时机制所统计的时机区间是指在startProcessLocked之后会调用AMS.attachApplicationLocked为起点，一直到AMS.publishContentProviders的过程。
4.2 进程已启动
provider进程已启动但未发布，需要发布相关的provider
Client进程：获取provider发现cpr为空，则调用scheduleInstallProvider来向provider所在的进程发出一个oneway的binder请求，进入wait状态；
provider进程：安装完成provider信息后，通过notify机制唤醒当前处于wait状态的binder线程。
如果provider在publish之后，这是在请求provider则没用最右边的过程，直接AMS.getContentProvierImpl之后便进入AT.installProvider的过程，而不会再进入wait过程。
4.3 引用计数
provider分为stable provider和unstable provider,主要在于引用计数的不同。
provider引用计数的增加与减少关系，removePending是指即将被移除的引用，lastRef表示当前引用为0。
方法 | stableCount | unstableCount | 条件 |
acquireProvider | +1 | 0 | removePending=false |
acquireProvider | +1 | -1 | removePending=true |
acquireUnstableProvider | 0 | +1 | removePending=false |
acquireUnstableProvider | 0 | 0 | removePending=true |
releaseProvider | -1 | 0 | lastRef=false |
releaseProvider | -1 | 1 | lastRef=true |
releaseUnstableProvider | 0 | -1 | lastRef=false |
releaseUnstableProvider | 0 | 0 | lastRef=true |
当Client进程存在对某个provider的引用时，Provider进程死亡则会根据provider类型进行不同的处理：
- 对于stable provider,会杀掉所有和该provider建立stable连接的非persistent进程；
- 对于unstable provider，不会导致client进程被级联所杀，会回调unstableProviderDied来清理相关信息。
当stable和unstable引用计数都为0则移除connection信息
- AMS.removeContentProvider过程移除connection相关所有信息。
