Android中将xml布局文件转化为View树的过程分析（上）

　　有好几周没写东西了，一方面是因为前几个周末都有些事情，另外也是因为没能找到好的写作方向，或者说有些话题

值得分享、写作，可是自己积累还不够，没办法只好闷头继续研究了。这段时间一边在写代码，一边也在想Android中

究竟是如何将R.layout.xxx_view.xml这样的布局文件加载到Android系统的view层次结构中的（即我们常说的view树）。

这期间一方面自己研究了下源码，另一方面也在网上搜索了下相关文章，发现了2篇很不错的同主题文章，推荐给大家：

　　我们在开发中接触最早的应该算是Activity.setContentView(int resourceId)方法了，我们知道在Activity的onCreate中调用此

方法可以把我们提供的根布局文件加载到activity中并显示出来。很自然地我们就从它开始说起吧，废话不多说上代码：

    /**
     * Set the activity content from a layout resource.  The resource will be
     * inflated, adding all top-level views to the activity.
     *
     * @param layoutResID Resource ID to be inflated.
     * 
     * @see #setContentView(android.view.View)
     * @see #setContentView(android.view.View, android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)
     */
    public void setContentView(int layoutResID) { // 实际上其内部都是delegate给了getWindow()方法
        getWindow().setContentView(layoutResID);
        initActionBar();
    }

    /**
     * Set the activity content to an explicit view.  This view is placed
     * directly into the activity's view hierarchy.  It can itself be a complex
     * view hierarchy.  When calling this method, the layout parameters of the
     * specified view are ignored.  Both the width and the height of the view are
     * set by default to {@link ViewGroup.LayoutParams#MATCH_PARENT}. To use
     * your own layout parameters, invoke
     * {@link #setContentView(android.view.View, android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)}
     * instead.
     * 
     * @param view The desired content to display.
     *
     * @see #setContentView(int)
     * @see #setContentView(android.view.View, android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)
     */
    public void setContentView(View view) {
        getWindow().setContentView(view);
        initActionBar();
    }

    /**
     * Set the activity content to an explicit view.  This view is placed
     * directly into the activity's view hierarchy.  It can itself be a complex
     * view hierarchy.
     * 
     * @param view The desired content to display.
     * @param params Layout parameters for the view.
     *
     * @see #setContentView(android.view.View)
     * @see #setContentView(int)
     */
    public void setContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
        getWindow().setContentView(view, params);
        initActionBar();
    }

    /**
     * Add an additional content view to the activity.  Added after any existing
     * ones in the activity -- existing views are NOT removed.
     * 
     * @param view The desired content to display.
     * @param params Layout parameters for the view.
     */
    public void addContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
        getWindow().addContentView(view, params);
        initActionBar();
    }

我们可以看到setContentView方法内部都delegate给了getWindow()方法，这里顺便也把addContentView提及了下，setXXX有

替换的意思，addXXX则是往后面在加一个，即以前的还在。紧接着我们看下Activity里的window是咋来的吧，代码如下：

    private Window mWindow; // Activity的一个字段

    /**
     * Retrieve the current {@link android.view.Window} for the activity.
     * This can be used to directly access parts of the Window API that
     * are not available through Activity/Screen.
     * 
     * @return Window The current window, or null if the activity is not
     *         visual.
     */
    public Window getWindow() {
        return mWindow;
    }

    final void attach(Context context, ActivityThread aThread, Instrumentation instr, IBinder token,
            Application application, Intent intent, ActivityInfo info, CharSequence title, 
            Activity parent, String id, NonConfigurationInstances lastNonConfigurationInstances,
            Configuration config) {
        attach(context, aThread, instr, token, 0, application, intent, info, title, parent, id,
            lastNonConfigurationInstances, config);
    }
    
    final void attach(Context context, ActivityThread aThread,
            Instrumentation instr, IBinder token, int ident,
            Application application, Intent intent, ActivityInfo info,
            CharSequence title, Activity parent, String id,
            NonConfigurationInstances lastNonConfigurationInstances,
            Configuration config) {
        attachBaseContext(context);

        mFragments.attachActivity(this, mContainer, null);
        
        mWindow = PolicyManager.makeNewWindow(this); // 注意这行代码，这里实际上创建了一个PhoneWindow的实例
        mWindow.setCallback(this); // window对象里的Callback接口的实现是Activity
        mWindow.getLayoutInflater().setPrivateFactory(this);
        if (info.softInputMode != WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_UNSPECIFIED) {
            mWindow.setSoftInputMode(info.softInputMode);
        }
        if (info.uiOptions != 0) {
            mWindow.setUiOptions(info.uiOptions);
        }
        mUiThread = Thread.currentThread();
        
        mMainThread = aThread;
        mInstrumentation = instr;
        mToken = token;
        mIdent = ident;
        mApplication = application;
        mIntent = intent;
        mComponent = intent.getComponent();
        mActivityInfo = info;
        mTitle = title;
        mParent = parent;
        mEmbeddedID = id;
        mLastNonConfigurationInstances = lastNonConfigurationInstances;

        mWindow.setWindowManager(
                (WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE),
                mToken, mComponent.flattenToString(),
                (info.flags & ActivityInfo.FLAG_HARDWARE_ACCELERATED) != 0);
        if (mParent != null) {
            mWindow.setContainer(mParent.getWindow());
        }
        mWindowManager = mWindow.getWindowManager();
        mCurrentConfig = config;
    }

从代码我们可以看出是在Activity.attach方法中对mWindow进行初始化的，这里也顺便解释下Window、Activity、View的区别和联系：

Window是个封装了窗体样式和行为的策略抽象类，它的实例作为顶层view被加到window manager里面；它提供了标准的UI策略，

如背景、标题栏、默认的key处理逻辑等等。在Android系统中有一个唯一的实现PhoneWindow，当我们需要window的

时候就会有一个PhoneWindow的实例被new出来。每个Activity都有一个与之关联的window对象，Activity在其上绘制UI。

Window对象里又有一个mDecor对象，它是window里的顶层view（也就是说view树的层次结构从它开始，它是view树的根）。

更多的解释可以参考这个问题： http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9451755/what-is-an-android-window 。

　　接着我们看看上面代码里具体给mWindow对象赋值的代码，先来看看com.android.internal.policy.PolicyManager类：

    public final class PolicyManager {
    private static final String POLICY_IMPL_CLASS_NAME =
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.Policy";

    private static final IPolicy sPolicy;

    static {
        // Pull in the actual implementation of the policy at run-time
        try {
            Class policyClass = Class.forName(POLICY_IMPL_CLASS_NAME); // 加载class文件
            sPolicy = (IPolicy)policyClass.newInstance(); // 根据Class对象，创建个实例
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
                    POLICY_IMPL_CLASS_NAME + " could not be loaded", ex);
        } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
                    POLICY_IMPL_CLASS_NAME + " could not be instantiated", ex);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
                    POLICY_IMPL_CLASS_NAME + " could not be instantiated", ex);
        }
    }

    // Cannot instantiate this class
    private PolicyManager() {}

    // The static methods to spawn new policy-specific objects
    public static Window makeNewWindow(Context context) {
        return sPolicy.makeNewWindow(context);
    }

    public static LayoutInflater makeNewLayoutInflater(Context context) {
        return sPolicy.makeNewLayoutInflater(context);
    }

    public static WindowManagerPolicy makeNewWindowManager() {
        return sPolicy.makeNewWindowManager();
    }

    public static FallbackEventHandler makeNewFallbackEventHandler(Context context) {
        return sPolicy.makeNewFallbackEventHandler(context);
    }
}

接着我们看下sPolicy的具体实现类，com.android.internal.policy.impl.Policy.java文件：

public class Policy implements IPolicy {
    private static final String TAG = "PhonePolicy";

    private static final String[] preload_classes = {
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneLayoutInflater",
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow",
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$1",
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DialogMenuCallback",
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView",
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$PanelFeatureState",
        "com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$PanelFeatureState$SavedState",
    };

    static {
        // For performance reasons, preload some policy specific classes when
        // the policy gets loaded.
        for (String s : preload_classes) {
            try {
                Class.forName(s); // 预加载这些类的class文件，以便后面new他们的对象
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Could not preload class for phone policy: " + s);
            }
        }
    }

    public Window makeNewWindow(Context context) {
        return new PhoneWindow(context); // 至此我们看到了Android系统里真正且唯一的Window类型，PhoneWindow
    }

    public LayoutInflater makeNewLayoutInflater(Context context) {
        return new PhoneLayoutInflater(context); // LayoutInflater接口的实际实现者，以后我们的代码里出现的类似
    }                               // (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)
                                    // 这样的代码，返回的都是此对象。
    public WindowManagerPolicy makeNewWindowManager() {
        return new PhoneWindowManager();
    }

    public FallbackEventHandler makeNewFallbackEventHandler(Context context) {
        return new PhoneFallbackEventHandler(context);
    }
}

至此我们看清楚了Activity中的mWindow对象实际上是PhoneWindow的实例。搞清楚了window对象咋来的，接下来我们可以

分析其setContentView方法了，代码如下：

    // This is the top-level view of the window, containing the window decor.
    private DecorView mDecor; // window中的顶层view

    // This is the view in which the window contents are placed. It is either
    // mDecor itself, or a child of mDecor where the contents go.
    private ViewGroup mContentParent; // Android为我们提供的window布局文件中id=@android:id/content的view
                                      // 后面我们会看几个典型的window布局文件
    private LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater;

    public PhoneWindow(Context context) {
        super(context);
        mLayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); // 我们在上文中提到的通过context.getSystemService实现
    }

    @Override
    public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
        if (mContentParent == null) { // 第一次调用的时候执行
            installDecor();           
        } else { // 可以看出setContentView支持多次调用，只是相当于把之前的view层次结构扔掉，从头再来而已
            mContentParent.removeAllViews();
        }
        mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent); // 将我们dev提供的顶层layout文件加到mContentParent里面
        final Callback cb = getCallback();
        if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
            cb.onContentChanged(); // 调用回调函数，一般是Activity或Dialog
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void setContentView(View view) { // 默认的LayoutParams是MATCH_PARENT，当然你也可以指定
        setContentView(view, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT));
    }

    @Override
    public void setContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
        if (mContentParent == null) {
            installDecor();
        } else {
            mContentParent.removeAllViews();
        }
        mContentParent.addView(view, params);
        final Callback cb = getCallback();
        if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
            cb.onContentChanged();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void addContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
        if (mContentParent == null) { 
            installDecor();
        } // 注意相比setContentView来说，少了mContentParent.removeAllViews()调用，
          // 所以效果就是之前的view层次结构还在，只是新增了一个view
        mContentParent.addView(view, params);
        final Callback cb = getCallback();
        if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
            cb.onContentChanged();
        }
    }

接着我们看看installDecor相关的实现：

    private void installDecor() {
        if (mDecor == null) {
            mDecor = generateDecor(); // new一个DecorView（一种特殊的FrameLayout）
            mDecor.setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS);
            mDecor.setIsRootNamespace(true);
            if (!mInvalidatePanelMenuPosted && mInvalidatePanelMenuFeatures != 0) {
                mDecor.postOnAnimation(mInvalidatePanelMenuRunnable);
            }
        }
        if (mContentParent == null) {
            mContentParent = generateLayout(mDecor); // 初始化mContentParent

            // Set up decor part of UI to ignore fitsSystemWindows if appropriate.
            mDecor.makeOptionalFitsSystemWindows();

            mTitleView = (TextView)findViewById(com.android.internal.R.id.title);
            if (mTitleView != null) {
                mTitleView.setLayoutDirection(mDecor.getLayoutDirection());
                if ((getLocalFeatures() & (1 << FEATURE_NO_TITLE)) != 0) {
                    View titleContainer = findViewById(com.android.internal.R.id.title_container);
                    if (titleContainer != null) {
                        titleContainer.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    } else {
                        mTitleView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    }
                    if (mContentParent instanceof FrameLayout) {
                        ((FrameLayout)mContentParent).setForeground(null);
                    }
                } else {
                    mTitleView.setText(mTitle);
                }
            } else {
                mActionBar = (ActionBarView) findViewById(com.android.internal.R.id.action_bar);
                if (mActionBar != null) {
                    mActionBar.setWindowCallback(getCallback());
                    if (mActionBar.getTitle() == null) {
                        mActionBar.setWindowTitle(mTitle);
                    }
                    final int localFeatures = getLocalFeatures();
                    if ((localFeatures & (1 << FEATURE_PROGRESS)) != 0) {
                        mActionBar.initProgress();
                    }
                    if ((localFeatures & (1 << FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS)) != 0) {
                        mActionBar.initIndeterminateProgress();
                    }

                    final ActionBarOverlayLayout abol = (ActionBarOverlayLayout) findViewById(
                            com.android.internal.R.id.action_bar_overlay_layout);
                    if (abol != null) {
                        abol.setOverlayMode(
                                (localFeatures & (1 << FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY)) != 0);
                    }

                    boolean splitActionBar = false;
                    final boolean splitWhenNarrow =

        mDecor.finishChanging(); // 回调点，表示结束了。。。

        return contentParent; // 返回客户端（Activity）布局的parent view
    }

mContentParent被正确初始化后，在setContentView中通过mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent);

这样的代码就可以将Activity的布局文件加到整个view层次结构中，这样我们的layout xml就和系统的联系起来了。

　　下面我们看几个前面说到的系统提供的布局文件，针对某个特定的feature属性，代码如下：

<!-- screen_title.xml -->
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
    <!-- Popout bar for action modes -->
    <ViewStub android:id="@+id/action_mode_bar_stub"
              android:inflatedId="@+id/action_mode_bar"
              android:layout="@layout/action_mode_bar"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent" 
        android:layout_height="?android:attr/windowTitleSize"
        style="?android:attr/windowTitleBackgroundStyle">
        <TextView android:id="@android:id/title" 
            style="?android:attr/windowTitleStyle"
            android:background="@null"
            android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />
    </FrameLayout>
    <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/content" // 注意这里的共同点，这就是给客户端程序预留的placeholder，mContentParent view
        android:layout_width="match_parent" 
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:foregroundGravity="fill_horizontal|top"
        android:foreground="?android:attr/windowContentOverlay" />
</LinearLayout>

<!-- screen_simple.xml -->
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <ViewStub android:id="@+id/action_mode_bar_stub"
              android:inflatedId="@+id/action_mode_bar"
              android:layout="@layout/action_mode_bar"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <FrameLayout
         android:id="@android:id/content" // 共同点，id都是android:id/content
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="match_parent"
         android:foregroundInsidePadding="false"
         android:foregroundGravity="fill_horizontal|top"
         android:foreground="?android:attr/windowContentOverlay" />
</LinearLayout>

　　在我们的开发中，还经常会使用LayoutInflater.inflate方法来将某一个xml文件动态添加到view层次结构中，这种方式简直太棒了。

当然为了避免篇幅过长，我会在下一篇文章中专门分析下这种情况，敬请期待。终于可以收工了，准备看西班牙-荷兰的比赛了，哈哈。。。
