(1)      Launcher的定义:Android系统启动后,加载的第一个程序,是其他应用程序的入口。

(2)      Launcher的构成:HomeScreen(1.workspace(AppWidget,Wallpaper,Livefolder,ShortCut),2.HotSeats,3.AllApps/allApplist:GridView)

Android HOME 开发launcher 安卓开发launcher_加载模式

(3)      针对Launcher的开发类型:

    1.      开发自定义的Launcher

2.      与Workspace相关的开发(AppWidget,Wallpaper,Livefolder,ShortCut)

(4)      解读Launcher源代码(以ShortCut为例),Launcher为系统级应用,位于Applications层。源代码位于MyAndroid\packages\apps\Launcher2中,可讲它导入eclipse中。

(5)      看Manifest文件可知,Launcher的主Activity为:com.android.launcher2.Launcher。下面是它的部分配置信息:

<activity
android:name="com.android.launcher2.Launcher"
android:launchMode="singleTask">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

(6)      关于Activity的四种加载模式(android:launchMode):在多Activity开发中,有可能是自己应用之间的Activity跳转,或者夹带其他应用的可复用Activity。有可能会希望跳转到原来某个Activity实例,而不是产生大量重复的Activity。这就需要为Activity配置特定的加载模式,而不是默认的加载模式。



1.      Standard:默认模式,每次激活Activity时都会创建Activity,并放入任务栈中。



2.      singleTop:如果在任务栈栈顶正好存在该Activity的实例,就重用该实例(会调用实例的onNewIntent()),否则就会创建新的实例并放入栈顶,即使栈中已经存在该Activity的实例。



3.      singleTask:如果在栈中已经有该Activity的实例,就会重用该实例,重用时,会让该实例回到栈顶,因此在它上面的实例将会被移出栈。



4.      singleInstance:在一个新栈中创建该Activity的实例,并让多个应用共享该栈中的该Activity实例。一旦该模式的Activity实例已经存在于某个栈中,任何应用再激活该Activity时都会重用该栈中的实例( 会调用实例的onNewIntent() )。其效果相当于多个应用共享一个应用,不管谁激活该 Activity 都会进入同一个应用中。


(7)      当用户按菜单键中的添加按钮或者长按workspace中的空白区域,会弹出一个对话框(如下图所示):

(8)      如何让你的应用支持创建Shortcut,即你的应用能够出现在快捷方式列表中。

//  单独创建一个Activity,例如ShortCut.java
//  配置此Activity
<activity 
android:name=".ShortCut">
<intent-filter>
<actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.CREATE_SHORTCUT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
// 以下是它的代码,这个startActivityForResultSafely(intent, //REQUEST_CREATE_SHORTCUT)方法会跳到这个Activity
publicclassShortCutextends Activity {

	@Override
	protectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		if(getIntent().getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_CREATE_SHORTCUT)) {
			Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
			returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "应用管理器");
			returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(this, ShowAppActivity.class));
			/* returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, 
			Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(this, R.drawable.icon)); */
			returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON, R.drawable.icon);
			setResult(RESULT_OK, returnIntent);
			finish();
		}
	}

}


(9)      如何在用户第一次启动应用后,提示用户是否要创建Shortcut:现在Manifest文件中添加一个权限(<permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"></permission>)只要向Launcher发送一个广播,数据为一个Intent。此Intent与上面代码中的returnIntent类似,只要这个Intent添加一个Action(

intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"))。然后sendBroadcast(intent)。在Launcher中有个InstallShortcutReceiver.java,接受这个广播。
