前言
熟悉Activity的启动流程和运行原理是一个合格的应用开发人员所应该具备的基本素质，其重要程度就不多做描述了。同时，知识栈应该不断的更新，最新发布的Android 9.0版本相较于之前的几个版本也做了许多改动和重构，但是大体流程变化不大。本文基于Android 9.0版本源码，从Activity启动方法startActivity为切入口分析整个流程。
相关类简介
- Instrumentation
用于实现应用程序测试代码的基类。当在打开仪器的情况下运行时，这个类将在任何应用程序代码之前为您实例化，允许您监视系统与应用程序的所有交互。可以通过AndroidManifest.xml的标签描述该类的实现。
- ActivityManager
该类提供与Activity、Service和Process相关的信息以及交互方法， 可以被看作是ActivityManagerService的辅助类。
- ActivityManagerService
Android中最核心的服务，主要负责系统中四大组件的启动、切换、调度及应用程序的管理和调度等工作。
- ActivityThread
管理应用程序进程中主线程的执行，根据Activity管理者的请求调度和执行activities、broadcasts及其相关的操作。
- ActivityStack
负责单个Activity栈的状态和管理。
- ActivityStackSupervisor
负责所有Activity栈的管理。内部管理了mHomeStack、mFocusedStack和mLastFocusedStack三个Activity栈。其中，mHomeStack管理的是Launcher相关的Activity栈；mFocusedStack管理的是当前显示在前台Activity的Activity栈；mLastFocusedStack管理的是上一次显示在前台Activity的Activity栈。
- ClientLifecycleManager
用来管理多个客户端生命周期执行请求的管理类。
一、发出启动请求
启动一个Activity通常都是通过Activity的startActivity方法启动。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
this.startActivity(intent, null);
}
@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent, @Nullable Bundle options) {
// Activity中的startActivity也是调用startActivityForResult方法来实现的，
// 当startActivityForResult方法的requestCode为-1不返回结果，
// requestCode大于等于零则会回调Activity.onActivityResult方法返回结果。
if (options != null) {
startActivityForResult(intent, -1, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this call for compatibility with
// applications that may have overridden the method.
startActivityForResult(intent, -1);
}
}
public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode) {
startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode, null);
}
public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode,
@Nullable Bundle options) {
if (mParent == null) {
options = transferSpringboardActivityOptions(options);
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
intent, requestCode, options);
if (ar != null) {
mMainThread.sendActivityResult(
mToken, mEmbeddedID, requestCode, ar.getResultCode(),
ar.getResultData());
}
if (requestCode >= 0) {
mStartedActivity = true;
}
cancelInputsAndStartExitTransition(options);
// TODO Consider clearing/flushing other event sources and events for child windows.
} else {
if (options != null) {
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this method for compatibility with
// existing applications that may have overridden it.
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode);
}
}
}之后Activity的startActivity方法会调用startActivityForResult方法来传递启动请求，在startActivityForResult方法中如果是第一次启动，mParent为空则会去调用Instrumentation.execStartActivity方法，否则调动Activity.startActivityFromChild方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
...
try {
intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(who);
int result = ActivityManager.getService()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failure from system", e);
}
return null;
}二、ActivityManagerService接收并处理启动请求
在Instrumentation.execStartActivity方法中看到了熟悉的身影ActivityManager，通过ActivityManager.getService()方法可以获得ActivityManagerService提供的服务，所以直接跳转到ActivityManagerService.startActivity方法。
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
@Override
public final int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions) {
return startActivityAsUser(caller, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType, resultTo,
resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profilerInfo, bOptions,
UserHandle.getCallingUserId());
}
@Override
public final int startActivityAsUser(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions, int userId) {
return startActivityAsUser(caller, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType, resultTo,
resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profilerInfo, bOptions, userId,
true /*validateIncomingUser*/);
}
public final int startActivityAsUser(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions, int userId,
boolean validateIncomingUser) {
enforceNotIsolatedCaller("startActivity");
userId = mActivityStartController.checkTargetUser(userId, validateIncomingUser,
Binder.getCallingPid(), Binder.getCallingUid(), "startActivityAsUser");
// TODO: Switch to user app stacks here.
return mActivityStartController.obtainStarter(intent, "startActivityAsUser")
.setCaller(caller)
.setCallingPackage(callingPackage)
.setResolvedType(resolvedType)
.setResultTo(resultTo)
.setResultWho(resultWho)
.setRequestCode(requestCode)
.setStartFlags(startFlags)
.setProfilerInfo(profilerInfo)
.setActivityOptions(bOptions)
.setMayWait(userId)
.execute();
}ActivityManagerService.startActivity方法经过多个方法调用会去执行startActivityAsUser方法，在startActivityAsUser方法最后会通过ActivityStartController.obtainStarter方法获得一个包含所有启动信息的ActivityStarter对象并调用execute方法执行。
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java
int execute() {
try {
// TODO(b/64750076): Look into passing request directly to these methods to allow
// for transactional diffs and preprocessing.
if (mRequest.mayWait) {
return startActivityMayWait(mRequest.caller, mRequest.callingUid,
mRequest.callingPackage, mRequest.intent, mRequest.resolvedType,
mRequest.voiceSession, mRequest.voiceInteractor, mRequest.resultTo,
mRequest.resultWho, mRequest.requestCode, mRequest.startFlags,
mRequest.profilerInfo, mRequest.waitResult, mRequest.globalConfig,
mRequest.activityOptions, mRequest.ignoreTargetSecurity, mRequest.userId,
mRequest.inTask, mRequest.reason,
mRequest.allowPendingRemoteAnimationRegistryLookup);
} else {
return startActivity(mRequest.caller, mRequest.intent, mRequest.ephemeralIntent,
mRequest.resolvedType, mRequest.activityInfo, mRequest.resolveInfo,
mRequest.voiceSession, mRequest.voiceInteractor, mRequest.resultTo,
mRequest.resultWho, mRequest.requestCode, mRequest.callingPid,
mRequest.callingUid, mRequest.callingPackage, mRequest.realCallingPid,
mRequest.realCallingUid, mRequest.startFlags, mRequest.activityOptions,
mRequest.ignoreTargetSecurity, mRequest.componentSpecified,
mRequest.outActivity, mRequest.inTask, mRequest.reason,
mRequest.allowPendingRemoteAnimationRegistryLookup);
}
} finally {
onExecutionComplete();
}
}因为在ActivityManagerService.startActivityAsUser中调用了ActivityStarter.setMayWait方法，所以这里 mRequest.mayWait值为true，会去调用startActivityMayWait方法。
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java

}

...
result = startActivityUnchecked(r, sourceRecord, voiceSession, voiceInteractor,
startFlags, doResume, options, inTask, outActivity);
...
postStartActivityProcessing(r, result, mTargetStack);
return result;
}ActivityStarter.startActivityMayWait方法中调用多个startActivity方法后会调用到一个比较重要的方法startActivityUnchecked。说它重要是因为这个方法里会根据启动标志位和Activity启动模式来决定如何启动一个Activity以及是否要调用deliverNewIntent方法通知Activity有一个Intent试图重新启动它。具体细节就不在这里分析了，感兴趣的同学自行查看源码体会一下吧。
private int startActivityUnchecked(final ActivityRecord r, ActivityRecord sourceRecord,
IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,

无论以何种模式启动最终都会调用ActivityStackSupervisor.resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked方法。
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
boolean resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked(
ActivityStack targetStack, ActivityRecord target, ActivityOptions targetOptions) {
...
if (targetStack != null && isFocusedStack(targetStack)) {
return targetStack.resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(target, targetOptions);
}
final ActivityRecord r = mFocusedStack.topRunningActivityLocked();
if (r == null || !r.isState(RESUMED)) {
mFocusedStack.resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(null, null);
} else if (r.isState(RESUMED)) {
// Kick off any lingering app transitions form the MoveTaskToFront operation.
mFocusedStack.executeAppTransition(targetOptions);
}
...
return false;
}
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java
boolean resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {
...
result = resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(prev, options);
...
return result;
}
private boolean resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {
...
boolean pausing = mStackSupervisor.pauseBackStacks(userLeaving, next, false);
if (mResumedActivity != null) {
pausing |= startPausingLocked(userLeaving, false, next, false);
}
...
mStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked(next, true, true);
...
return true;
}在ActivityStack.resumeTopActivityInnerLocked方法中会去判断是否有Activity处于Resume状态，如果有的话会先让这个Activity执行Pausing过程，然后再执行startSpecificActivityLocked方法启动要启动Activity。此处分开两段，先看一下栈顶Activity是如何退出的。
三、栈顶Activity执行onPause方法退出
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java
final boolean startPausingLocked(boolean userLeaving, boolean uiSleeping,
ActivityRecord resuming, boolean pauseImmediately) {
...
if (prev.app != null && prev.app.thread != null) {
try {
EventLogTags.writeAmPauseActivity(prev.userId, System.identityHashCode(prev),
prev.shortComponentName, "userLeaving=" + userLeaving);
mService.updateUsageStats(prev, false);
// Android 9.0在这里引入了ClientLifecycleManager和
// ClientTransactionHandler来辅助管理Activity生命周期，
// 他会发送EXECUTE_TRANSACTION消息到ActivityThread.H里面继续处理。
mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction(prev.app.thread, prev.appToken,
PauseActivityItem.obtain(prev.finishing, userLeaving,
prev.configChangeFlags, pauseImmediately));
} catch (Exception e) {
// Ignore exception, if process died other code will cleanup.
Slog.w(TAG, "Exception thrown during pause", e);
mPausingActivity = null;
mLastPausedActivity = null;
mLastNoHistoryActivity = null;
}
} else {
mPausingActivity = null;
mLastPausedActivity = null;
mLastNoHistoryActivity = null;
}
...
}在ActivityStack.startPausingLocked方法中通过ClientLifecycleManager的scheduleTransaction方法把PauseActivityItem事件加入到执行计划中，开始栈顶的pausing过程。
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ClientLifecycleManager.java
void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) throws RemoteException {
final IApplicationThread client = transaction.getClient();
transaction.schedule();
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/ClientTransaction.java
public void schedule() throws RemoteException {
mClient.scheduleTransaction(this);
}ClientTransaction.schedule方法的mClient是一个IApplicationThread类型，ActivityThread的内部类ApplicationThread派生这个接口类并实现了对应的方法。所以直接跳转到ApplicationThread中的scheduleTransaction方法。ActivityThread类中并没有定义scheduleTransaction方法，所以调用的是他父类ClientTransactionHandler的scheduleTransaction方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
private class ApplicationThread extends IApplicationThread.Stub {
...
@Override
public void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) throws RemoteException {
ActivityThread.this.scheduleTransaction(transaction);
}
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ClientTransactionHandler.java
void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) {
transaction.preExecute(this);
sendMessage(ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION, transaction);
}在ClientTransactionHandler.scheduleTransaction方法中调用了sendMessage方法，这个方法是一个抽象方法，其实现在ClientTransactionHandler派生类的ActivityThread中，ActivityThread.sendMessage方法会把消息发送给内部名字叫H的Handler。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
void sendMessage(int what, Object obj) {
sendMessage(what, obj, 0, 0, false);
}
private void sendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1) {
sendMessage(what, obj, arg1, 0, false);
}
private void sendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1, int arg2) {
sendMessage(what, obj, arg1, arg2, false);
}
private void sendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1, int arg2, boolean async) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) Slog.v(
TAG, "SCHEDULE " + what + " " + mH.codeToString(what)
+ ": " + arg1 + " / " + obj);
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
msg.obj = obj;
msg.arg1 = arg1;
msg.arg2 = arg2;
if (async) {
msg.setAsynchronous(true);
}
mH.sendMessage(msg);
}
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
...
case EXECUTE_TRANSACTION:
final ClientTransaction transaction = (ClientTransaction) msg.obj;
mTransactionExecutor.execute(transaction);
...
break;
...
}Handler H的实例接收到EXECUTE_TRANSACTION消息后调用TransactionExecutor.execute方法切换Activity状态。TransactionExecutor.execute方法里面先执行Callbacks，然后改变Activity当前的生命周期状态。此处由于没有Callback所以直接跳转executeLifecycleState方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/TransactionExecutor.java
public void execute(ClientTransaction transaction) {
...
executeCallbacks(transaction);
executeLifecycleState(transaction);
...
}
public void executeCallbacks(ClientTransaction transaction) {
if (callbacks == null) {
// No callbacks to execute, return early.
return;
}
...
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
final ClientTransactionItem item = callbacks.get(i);
...
item.execute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
item.postExecute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
...
}
}
/** Transition to the final state if requested by the transaction. */
private void executeLifecycleState(ClientTransaction transaction) {
...
// Cycle to the state right before the final requested state.
cycleToPath(r, lifecycleItem.getTargetState(), true /* excludeLastState */);
// Execute the final transition with proper parameters.
lifecycleItem.execute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
lifecycleItem.postExecute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
}
在executeLifecycleState方法里面，会先去调用TransactionExecutor.cycleToPath执行当前生命周期状态之前的状态，然后执行ActivityLifecycleItem.execute方法。由于是从ON_RESUME状态到ON_PAUSE状态切换，中间没有其他状态，cycleToPath这个情况下没有做什么实质性的事情，直接执行execute方法。前面在ActivityStack.startPausingLocked方法里面scheduleTransaction传递的是PauseActivityItem对象，所以executeLifecycleState方法里调用的execute方法其实是PauseActivityItem.execute方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/PauseActivityItem.java
@Override
public void execute(ClientTransactionHandler client, IBinder token,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
...
client.handlePauseActivity(token, mFinished, mUserLeaving, mConfigChanges, pendingActions,
"PAUSE_ACTIVITY_ITEM");
...
}在PauseActivityItem.execute方法中调用ActivityThread.handlePauseActivity方法，经过一步步调用来到performPauseActivity方法，在这个方法中会先去判断是否需要调用callActivityOnSaveInstanceState方法来保存临时数据，然后执行Instrumentation.callActivityOnPause方法继续执行pasue流程。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
@Override
public void handlePauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished, boolean userLeaving,
int configChanges, PendingTransactionActions pendingActions, String reason) {
...
performPauseActivity(r, finished, reason, pendingActions);
...
}
}
final Bundle performPauseActivity(IBinder token, boolean finished, String reason,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
ActivityClientRecord r = mActivities.get(token);
return r != null ? performPauseActivity(r, finished, reason, pendingActions) : null;
}
/**
* Pause the activity.
* @return Saved instance state for pre-Honeycomb apps if it was saved, {@code null} otherwise.

}Instrumentation.callActivityOnPause方法中直接调用Activity.performPause，在performPause方法中我们终于看到了熟悉的身影Activity生命周期的onPause方法，至此栈顶Activity的Pausing流程全部完毕。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public void callActivityOnPause(Activity activity) {
activity.performPause();
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
final void performPause() {
...
onPause();
...
}四、Activity所在的应用进程启动过程
接下来分析一下应用进程的启动过程，上面分析到ActivityStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked方法，在这个方法中会去根据进程和线程是否存在判断App是否已经启动，如果已经启动，就会调用realStartActivityLocked方法继续处理。如果没有启动则调用ActivityManagerService.startProcessLocked方法创建新的进程处理。接下来跟踪一下一个新的Activity是如何一步步启动的。
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
void startSpecificActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r,
boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) {
// Is this activity's application already running?
ProcessRecord app = mService.getProcessRecordLocked(r.processName,
r.info.applicationInfo.uid, true);
...
if (app != null && app.thread != null) {
...
realStartActivityLocked(r, app, andResume, checkConfig);
return;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Exception when starting activity "
+ r.intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString(), e);
}
}
mService.startProcessLocked(r.processName, r.info.applicationInfo, true, 0,
"activity", r.intent.getComponent(), false, false, true);
}ActivityManagerService.startProcessLocked方法经过多次跳转最终会通过Process.start方法来为应用创建进程。
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
private ProcessStartResult startProcess(String hostingType, String entryPoint,
ProcessRecord app, int uid, int[] gids, int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
String seInfo, String requiredAbi, String instructionSet, String invokeWith,
long startTime) {
...
startResult = Process.start(entryPoint,
app.processName, uid, uid, gids, runtimeFlags, mountExternal,
app.info.targetSdkVersion, seInfo, requiredAbi, instructionSet,
app.info.dataDir, invokeWith,
new String[] {PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT + app.startSeq});
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Process.java
public static final ProcessStartResult start(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
int uid, int gid, int[] gids,
int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String invokeWith,
String[] zygoteArgs) {
return zygoteProcess.start(processClass, niceName, uid, gid, gids,
runtimeFlags, mountExternal, targetSdkVersion, seInfo,
abi, instructionSet, appDataDir, invokeWith, zygoteArgs);
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/ZygoteProcess.java
public final Process.ProcessStartResult start(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
int uid, int gid, int[] gids,
int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String invokeWith,
String[] zygoteArgs) {
try {
return startViaZygote(processClass, niceName, uid, gid, gids,
runtimeFlags, mountExternal, targetSdkVersion, seInfo,
abi, instructionSet, appDataDir, invokeWith, false /* startChildZygote */,
zygoteArgs);
} catch (ZygoteStartFailedEx ex) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG,
"Starting VM process through Zygote failed");
throw new RuntimeException(
"Starting VM process through Zygote failed", ex);
}
}
private Process.ProcessStartResult startViaZygote(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
final int uid, final int gid,
final int[] gids,
int runtimeFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String invokeWith,
boolean startChildZygote,
String[] extraArgs)
throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
...
synchronized(mLock) {
return zygoteSendArgsAndGetResult(openZygoteSocketIfNeeded(abi), argsForZygote);
}
}
private ZygoteState openZygoteSocketIfNeeded(String abi) throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
Preconditions.checkState(Thread.holdsLock(mLock), "ZygoteProcess lock not held");
if (primaryZygoteState == null || primaryZygoteState.isClosed()) {
try {
primaryZygoteState = ZygoteState.connect(mSocket);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Error connecting to primary zygote", ioe);
}
maybeSetApiBlacklistExemptions(primaryZygoteState, false);
maybeSetHiddenApiAccessLogSampleRate(primaryZygoteState);
}
if (primaryZygoteState.matches(abi)) {
return primaryZygoteState;
}
// The primary zygote didn't match. Try the secondary.
if (secondaryZygoteState == null || secondaryZygoteState.isClosed()) {
try {
secondaryZygoteState = ZygoteState.connect(mSecondarySocket);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Error connecting to secondary zygote", ioe);
}
maybeSetApiBlacklistExemptions(secondaryZygoteState, false);
maybeSetHiddenApiAccessLogSampleRate(secondaryZygoteState);
}
if (secondaryZygoteState.matches(abi)) {
return secondaryZygoteState;
}
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Unsupported zygote ABI: " + abi);
}经过一步步调用，可以发现其最终调用了Zygote并通过socket通信的方式让Zygote进程fork出一个新的进程，并根据传递的”android.app.ActivityThread”字符串，反射出该对象并执行ActivityThread的main方法对其进行初始化。
五、Activity所在应用主线程初始化
在ActivityThread.main方法中对ActivityThread进行了初始化，创建了主线程的Looper对象并调用Looper.loop()方法启动Looper，把自定义Handler类H的对象作为主线程的handler。接下来跳转到ActivityThread.attach方法，看都做了什么。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");
...
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
// Find the value for {@link #PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT} if provided on the command line.
// It will be in the format "seq=114"
long startSeq = 0;
if (args != null) {
for (int i = args.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
if (args[i] != null && args[i].startsWith(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT)) {
startSeq = Long.parseLong(
args[i].substring(PROC_START_SEQ_IDENT.length()));
}
}
}
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false, startSeq);
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
...
Looper.loop();
...
}六、启动Activity
Activity所在的进程创建完了，主线程也初始化了，接下来就该真正的启动Activity了。在ActivityThread.attach方法中，首先会通过ActivityManagerService为这个应用绑定一个Application，然后添加一个垃圾回收观察者，每当系统触发垃圾回收的时候就会在run方法里面去计算应用使用了多少内存，如果超过总量的四分之三就会尝试释放内存。最后，为根View添加config回调接收config变化相关的信息。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
private void attach(boolean system, long startSeq) {
sCurrentActivityThread = this;
mSystemThread = system;
if (!system) {
...
final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManager.getService();
try {
mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread, startSeq);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
// 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)) {
mSomeActivitiesChanged = false;
try {
mgr.releaseSomeActivities(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw e.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
}
});
}
...
ViewRootImpl.addConfigCallback(configChangedCallback);
}
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
@Override
public final void attachApplication(IApplicationThread thread, long startSeq) {
synchronized (this) {
int callingPid = Binder.getCallingPid();
final int callingUid = Binder.getCallingUid();
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
attachApplicationLocked(thread, callingPid, callingUid, startSeq);
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
}
private final boolean attachApplicationLocked(IApplicationThread thread,
int pid, int callingUid, long startSeq) {
...
// See if the top visible activity is waiting to run in this process...
if (normalMode) {
try {
if (mStackSupervisor.attachApplicationLocked(app)) {
didSomething = true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Slog.wtf(TAG, "Exception thrown launching activities in " + app, e);
badApp = true;
}
}
...
}
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
boolean attachApplicationLocked(ProcessRecord app) throws RemoteException {
final String processName = app.processName;
boolean didSomething = false;
for (int displayNdx = mActivityDisplays.size() - 1; displayNdx >= 0; --displayNdx) {
final ActivityDisplay display = mActivityDisplays.valueAt(displayNdx);
for (int stackNdx = display.getChildCount() - 1; stackNdx >= 0; --stackNdx) {
final ActivityStack stack = display.getChildAt(stackNdx);
if (!isFocusedStack(stack)) {
continue;
}
stack.getAllRunningVisibleActivitiesLocked(mTmpActivityList);
final ActivityRecord top = stack.topRunningActivityLocked();
final int size = mTmpActivityList.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
final ActivityRecord activity = mTmpActivityList.get(i);
if (activity.app == null && app.uid == activity.info.applicationInfo.uid
&& processName.equals(activity.processName)) {
try {
if (realStartActivityLocked(activity, app,
top == activity /* andResume */, true /* checkConfig */)) {
didSomething = true;
}
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Exception in new application when starting activity "
+ top.intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString(), e);
throw e;
}
}
}
}
}
if (!didSomething) {
ensureActivitiesVisibleLocked(null, 0, !PRESERVE_WINDOWS);
}
return didSomething;
}在ActivityManagerService.attachApplication方法中经过多次跳转执行到ActivityStackSupervisor.realStartActivityLocked方法。看到这个方法有没有一点眼熟？没错，就是之前分析过程中遇到的如果应用进程已经启动的情况下去启动Activity所调用的方法，有点绕，自己体会一下。在ActivityStackSupervisor.realStartActivityLocked方法中为ClientTransaction对象添加LaunchActivityItem的callback，然后设置当前的生命周期状态，最后调用ClientLifecycleManager.scheduleTransaction方法执行。
final boolean realStartActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r, ProcessRecord app,
boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) throws RemoteException {
...
// Create activity launch transaction.
final ClientTransaction clientTransaction = ClientTransaction.obtain(app.thread,
r.appToken);
clientTransaction.addCallback(LaunchActivityItem.obtain(new Intent(r.intent),
System.identityHashCode(r), r.info,
// TODO: Have this take the merged configuration instead of separate global
// and override configs.
mergedConfiguration.getGlobalConfiguration(),
mergedConfiguration.getOverrideConfiguration(), r.compat,
r.launchedFromPackage, task.voiceInteractor, app.repProcState, r.icicle,
r.persistentState, results, newIntents, mService.isNextTransitionForward(),
profilerInfo));
// Set desired final state.
final ActivityLifecycleItem lifecycleItem;
if (andResume) {
lifecycleItem = ResumeActivityItem.obtain(mService.isNextTransitionForward());
} else {
lifecycleItem = PauseActivityItem.obtain();
}
clientTransaction.setLifecycleStateRequest(lifecycleItem);
// Schedule transaction.
mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction(clientTransaction);
...
return true;
}调用ClientLifecycleManager.scheduleTransaction方法之后具体是如何执行的前面已经分析过了，这里就不再分析了。先看一下执行callback后跳转到LaunchActivityItem.execute方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/LaunchActivityItem.java
public void execute(ClientTransactionHandler client, IBinder token,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
...
client.handleLaunchActivity(r, pendingActions, null /* customIntent */);
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
public Activity handleLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions, Intent customIntent) {
...
final Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);
...
return a;
}经过上面代码一步步的跳转，执行到ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity方法。在ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity方法中首先对Activity的ComponentName、ContextImpl、Activity以及Application对象进行了初始化并相互关联，然后设置Activity主题，最后调用Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate方法。
private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
// 初始化ComponentName
ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent();
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);
}
// 初始化ContextImpl和Activity
ContextImpl appContext = createBaseContextForActivity(r);
Activity activity = null;
try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = appContext.getClassLoader();
activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity(
cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);
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 {
// 初始化Application
Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);
if (activity != null) {
CharSequence title = r.activityInfo.loadLabel(appContext.getPackageManager());
Configuration config = new Configuration(mCompatConfiguration);
if (r.overrideConfig != null) {
config.updateFrom(r.overrideConfig);
}
Window window = null;
if (r.mPendingRemoveWindow != null && r.mPreserveWindow) {
window = r.mPendingRemoveWindow;
r.mPendingRemoveWindow = null;
r.mPendingRemoveWindowManager = null;
}
// Application、Activity和ContextImpl互相关联
appContext.setOuterContext(activity);
activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token,
r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent,
r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstances, config,
r.referrer, r.voiceInteractor, window, r.configCallback);
if (customIntent != null) {
activity.mIntent = customIntent;
}
r.lastNonConfigurationInstances = null;
checkAndBlockForNetworkAccess();
activity.mStartedActivity = false;
// 设置Activity的Theme
int theme = r.activityInfo.getThemeResource();
if (theme != 0) {
activity.setTheme(theme);
}
activity.mCalled = false;
if (r.isPersistable()) {
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state, r.persistentState);
} else {
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state);
}
if (!activity.mCalled) {
throw new SuperNotCalledException(
"Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() +
" did not call through to super.onCreate()");
}
r.activity = activity;
}
r.setState(ON_CREATE);
mActivities.put(r.token, r);
} catch (SuperNotCalledException e) {
throw e;
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to start activity " + component
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
return activity;
}从Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate方法继续追踪，跳转到Activity.performCreate方法，在这里我们看到了Activity.onCreate方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public void callActivityOnCreate(Activity activity, Bundle icicle,
PersistableBundle persistentState) {
...
activity.performCreate(icicle, persistentState);
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
final void performCreate(Bundle icicle) {
performCreate(icicle, null);
}
final void performCreate(Bundle icicle, PersistableBundle persistentState) {
...
if (persistentState != null) {
onCreate(icicle, persistentState);
} else {
onCreate(icicle);
}
...
}至此executeCallbacks执行完毕，开始执行executeLifecycleState方法。先执行cycleToPath方法，生命周期状态是从ON_CREATE状态到ON_RESUME状态，中间有一个ON_START状态，所以会执行ActivityThread.handleStartActivity方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/TransactionExecutor.java
private void cycleToPath(ActivityClientRecord r, int finish,
boolean excludeLastState) {
...
final IntArray path = mHelper.getLifecyclePath(start, finish, excludeLastState);
performLifecycleSequence(r, path);
}
/** Transition the client through previously initialized state sequence. */
private void performLifecycleSequence(ActivityClientRecord r, IntArray path) {
final int size = path.size();
for (int i = 0, state; i < size; i++) {
state = path.get(i);
log("Transitioning to state: " + state);
switch (state) {
case ON_CREATE:
mTransactionHandler.handleLaunchActivity(r, mPendingActions,
null /* customIntent */);
break;
case ON_START:
mTransactionHandler.handleStartActivity(r, mPendingActions);
break;
case ON_RESUME:
mTransactionHandler.handleResumeActivity(r.token, false /* finalStateRequest */,
r.isForward, "LIFECYCLER_RESUME_ACTIVITY");
break;
case ON_PAUSE:
mTransactionHandler.handlePauseActivity(r.token, false /* finished */,
false /* userLeaving */, 0 /* configChanges */, mPendingActions,
"LIFECYCLER_PAUSE_ACTIVITY");
break;
case ON_STOP:
mTransactionHandler.handleStopActivity(r.token, false /* show */,
0 /* configChanges */, mPendingActions, false /* finalStateRequest */,
"LIFECYCLER_STOP_ACTIVITY");
break;
case ON_DESTROY:
mTransactionHandler.handleDestroyActivity(r.token, false /* finishing */,
0 /* configChanges */, false /* getNonConfigInstance */,
"performLifecycleSequence. cycling to:" + path.get(size - 1));
break;
case ON_RESTART:
mTransactionHandler.performRestartActivity(r.token, false /* start */);
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unexpected lifecycle state: " + state);
}
}
}从ActivityThread.handleStartActivity方法经过多次跳转最后会调用Activity.onStart方法，至此cycleToPath方法执行完毕。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
public void handleStartActivity(ActivityClientRecord r,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
...
// Start
activity.performStart("handleStartActivity");
r.setState(ON_START);
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
final void performStart(String reason) {
...
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnStart(this);
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public void callActivityOnStart(Activity activity) {
activity.onStart();
}执行完毕cycleToPath，开始执行ResumeActivityItem.execute方法。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/ResumeActivityItem.java
@Override
public void execute(ClientTransactionHandler client, IBinder token,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
...
client.handleResumeActivity(token, true /* finalStateRequest */, mIsForward,
"RESUME_ACTIVITY");
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
@Override
public void handleResumeActivity(IBinder token, boolean finalStateRequest, boolean isForward,
String reason) {
...
// TODO Push resumeArgs into the activity for consideration
final ActivityClientRecord r = performResumeActivity(token, finalStateRequest, reason);
...
Looper.myQueue().addIdleHandler(new Idler());
...
}
public ActivityClientRecord performResumeActivity(IBinder token, boolean finalStateRequest,
String reason) {
...
try {
r.activity.onStateNotSaved();
r.activity.mFragments.noteStateNotSaved();
checkAndBlockForNetworkAccess();
if (r.pendingIntents != null) {
deliverNewIntents(r, r.pendingIntents);
r.pendingIntents = null;
}
if (r.pendingResults != null) {
deliverResults(r, r.pendingResults, reason);
r.pendingResults = null;
}
r.activity.performResume(r.startsNotResumed, reason);
r.state = null;
r.persistentState = null;
r.setState(ON_RESUME);
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mInstrumentation.onException(r.activity, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to resume activity "
+ r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() + ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
...
return r;
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
final void performResume(boolean followedByPause, String reason) {
performRestart(true /* start */, reason);
...
// mResumed is set by the instrumentation
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnResume(this);
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public void callActivityOnResume(Activity activity) {
activity.mResumed = true;
activity.onResume();
...
}经过上面的多次跳转最终调用到Activity.onResume方法，Activity启动完毕。
七、栈顶Activity执行onStop过程
至此Activity的启动流程基本上就分析完了，但是熟悉Activity生命周期的同学不难发现，栈顶Activity执行了onPause方法之后怎么没有看到哪里执行了onStop方法呢？之前在ActivityThread.handleResumeActivity方法里面有这么一行不起眼的代码，当MessageQueue空闲的时候就会执行这个Handler。那什么时候空闲呢？从这行代码所在的位置不难分析出是当前Activity执行完onResume的时候执行。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
@Override
public void handleResumeActivity(IBinder token, boolean finalStateRequest, boolean isForward,
String reason) {
...
Looper.myQueue().addIdleHandler(new Idler());
...
}接下来看一下Idler都做了什么。当MessageQueue空闲的时候就会回调Idler.queueIdle方法，经过层层调用跳转到ActivityStack.stopActivityLocked方法。
private class Idler implements MessageQueue.IdleHandler {
@Override
public final boolean queueIdle() {
...
if (a.activity != null && !a.activity.mFinished) {
try {
am.activityIdle(a.token, a.createdConfig, stopProfiling);
a.createdConfig = null;
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
...
return false;
}
}
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
@Override
public final void activityIdle(IBinder token, Configuration config, boolean stopProfiling) {
final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
synchronized (this) {
ActivityStack stack = ActivityRecord.getStackLocked(token);
if (stack != null) {
ActivityRecord r =
mStackSupervisor.activityIdleInternalLocked(token, false /* fromTimeout */,
false /* processPausingActivities */, config);
if (stopProfiling) {
if ((mProfileProc == r.app) && mProfilerInfo != null) {
clearProfilerLocked();
}
}
}
}
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);
}
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java
final ActivityRecord activityIdleInternalLocked(final IBinder token, boolean fromTimeout,
boolean processPausingActivities, Configuration config) {
...
// Stop any activities that are scheduled to do so but have been
// waiting for the next one to start.
for (int i = 0; i < NS; i++) {
r = stops.get(i);
final ActivityStack stack = r.getStack();
if (stack != null) {
if (r.finishing) {
stack.finishCurrentActivityLocked(r, ActivityStack.FINISH_IMMEDIATELY, false,
"activityIdleInternalLocked");
} else {
stack.stopActivityLocked(r);
}
}
}
...
return r;
}
frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java
final void stopActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r) {
...
mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction(r.app.thread, r.appToken,
StopActivityItem.obtain(r.visible, r.configChangeFlags));
...
}在ActivityStack.stopActivityLocked方法中，又见到了ClientLifecycleManager.scheduleTransaction方法，前面已经分析过多次，会去执行StopActivityItem.execute方法，然后经过多次跳转，最终执行了Activity.onStop方法。至此，栈顶Activity的onStop过程分析完毕。
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/servertransaction/StopActivityItem.java
@Override
public void execute(ClientTransactionHandler client, IBinder token,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
...
client.handleStopActivity(token, mShowWindow, mConfigChanges, pendingActions,
true /* finalStateRequest */, "STOP_ACTIVITY_ITEM");
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java
@Override
public void handleStopActivity(IBinder token, boolean show, int configChanges,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions, boolean finalStateRequest, String reason) {
...
performStopActivityInner(r, stopInfo, show, true /* saveState */, finalStateRequest,
reason);
...
}
private void performStopActivityInner(ActivityClientRecord r, StopInfo info, boolean keepShown,
boolean saveState, boolean finalStateRequest, String reason) {
...
if (!keepShown) {
callActivityOnStop(r, saveState, reason);
}
}
}
private void callActivityOnStop(ActivityClientRecord r, boolean saveState, String reason) {
...
try {
r.activity.performStop(false /*preserveWindow*/, reason);
} catch (SuperNotCalledException e) {
throw e;
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mInstrumentation.onException(r.activity, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to stop activity "
+ r.intent.getComponent().toShortString()
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java
final void performStop(boolean preserveWindow, String reason) {
...
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnStop(this);
...
}
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java
public void callActivityOnStop(Activity activity) {
activity.onStop();
}总结
Activity的工作原理相对复杂，分析起来很有难度，往往一行不起眼的代码都大有深意，在阅读源码过程中多次遇到分析不下去的情况，只能结合对Activity生命周期已有的认知重头来过查看漏了哪一处细节，由结果反推过程也是一个很好的办法。Android源码解析之（十四）–>Activity启动流程
和从应用角度看Android源码 – 是谁调用的ActivityThread的main方法
这两篇文章也给了我很多启发，让我多次找到回去的路。
Activity启动流程：
1、应用通过startActivity或是startActivityForResult方法向ActivityManagerService发出启动请求。
2、ActivityManagerService接收到启动请求后会进行必要的初始化以及状态的刷新，然后解析Activity的启动模式，为启动Activity做一系列的准备工作。
3、做完上述准备工作后，会去判断栈顶是否为空，如果不为空即当前有Activity显示在前台，则会先进行栈顶Activity的onPause流程退出。
4、栈顶Activity执行完onPause流程退出后开始启动Activity。如果Activity被启动过则直接执行onRestart->onStart->onResume过程直接启动Activity（热启动过程）。否则执行Activity所在应用的冷启动过程。
5、冷启动过程首先会通过Zygote进程fork出一个新的进程，然后根据传递的”android.app.ActivityThread”字符串，反射出该对象并执行ActivityThread的main方法进行主线程的初始化。
6、Activity所在应用的进程和主线程完成初始化之后开始启动Activity，首先对Activity的ComponentName、ContextImpl、Activity以及Application对象进行了初始化并相互关联，然后设置Activity主题，最后执行onCreate->onStart->onResume方法完成Activity的启动。
7、上述流程都执行完毕后，会去执行栈顶Activity的onStop过程。
至此，完整的Activity启动流程全部执行完毕。
