前言

看了前一篇文章【重拾View(一)】——setContentView()源码解析我们了解到了Activity加载布局到过程,但是对于View的创建过程还需要进一步的了解。熟悉Android的应该都清楚,Android布局的一大特点就是XML文件,我们通过编写XML文件,便可以轻松的创建我们需要的View,这也是和IOS开发的一个很大的区别。但是当我们编写完一个XML文件,还需要生成对应可绘制的View对象,这时我们经常使用的方法便是LayoutInflater的inflate()方法。无论是我们自定义View通过还是Fragment还是我们上篇文章分析的Activity加载布局的过程,实质都是使用这种方式创建View。所以本篇博客便对LayoutInflater的源码进行分析。

创建对象

要获取LayoutInflater对象我们经常使用的有三种方式:

  1. Context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE) ;
  2. LayoutInflater.from(context);
  3. Activity.getLayoutInflater();
public static LayoutInflater from(Context context) {
        LayoutInflater LayoutInflater =
                (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        if (LayoutInflater == null) {
            throw new AssertionError("LayoutInflater not found.");
        }
        return LayoutInflater;
    }
//Activity.java
    @NonNull
    public LayoutInflater getLayoutInflater() {
        return getWindow().getLayoutInflater();
    }
 //PhoneWindow.java
    @Override
    public LayoutInflater getLayoutInflater() {
        return mLayoutInflater;
    }
    
    public PhoneWindow(Context context) {
        super(context);
        mLayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    }

通过上面的源码,其实我们可以发现上面三种方式的最终效果都是context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

inflate源码分析

我们最常用的inflate方法其实有两种

public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root) {
        return inflate(resource, root, root != null);
    }
    
public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {
        final Resources res = getContext().getResources();
        if (DEBUG) {
            Log.d(TAG, "INFLATING from resource: \"" + res.getResourceName(resource) + "\" ("
                    + Integer.toHexString(resource) + ")");
        }
        //获取xml解析器
        final XmlResourceParser parser = res.getLayout(resource);
        try {
                //解析xml文件
            return inflate(parser, root, attachToRoot);
        } finally {
            parser.close();
        }
    }

可以看到inflate方法其实就是做了两步:

  1. 创建XML解析器
  2. 解析XML文件成View并返回
    这里面我们要注意一下三个参数的传参,第一个当然就是我们的XML的id,第二个一般是我们传入的父View,第三个boolean注意当默认我们没有传值的时候,默认是root != null,也就是父View不为空则是true,为空便是false
    接下来我们来看一下inflate方法源码,看看是怎么解析xml文件的。
public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {
        //1.线程同步
        synchronized (mConstructorArgs) {
            Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, "inflate");

            final Context inflaterContext = mContext;
            final AttributeSet attrs = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);
            Context lastContext = (Context) mConstructorArgs[0];
            mConstructorArgs[0] = inflaterContext;
            //2.首先将root设置为result
            View result = root;

            try {
                // Look for the root node.
                int type;
                //3.遍历寻找布局的根结点
                while ((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.START_TAG &&
                        type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
                    // Empty
                }
                //4.如果找到的不是根结点,则异常
                if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
                    throw new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription()
                            + ": No start tag found!");
                }
                //5.获取根结点的名称
                final String name = parser.getName();

                if (DEBUG) {
                    System.out.println("**************************");
                    System.out.println("Creating root view: "
                            + name);
                    System.out.println("**************************");
                }
                //6.如果是merge节点
                if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {
                    //root不能为null,attachToRoot不能为false
                    if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {
                        throw new InflateException("<merge /> can be used only with a valid "
                                + "ViewGroup root and attachToRoot=true");
                    }
                    //7.解析merge节点下的
                    rInflate(parser, root, inflaterContext, attrs, false);
                } else {
                    // Temp is the root view that was found in the xml
                    //8.根据解析得到的节点名创建View
                    final View temp = createViewFromTag(root, name, inflaterContext, attrs);

                    ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = null;

                    if (root != null) {
                        if (DEBUG) {
                            System.out.println("Creating params from root: " +
                                    root);
                        }
                        // Create layout params that match root, if supplied
                        //9.根据父View创建LayoutParams
                        params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs);
                        if (!attachToRoot) {
                            // Set the layout params for temp if we are not
                            // attaching. (If we are, we use addView, below)
                            //10.如果不是attachToRoot,则将LayoutParam设置给View的属性中
                            temp.setLayoutParams(params);
                        }
                    }

                    if (DEBUG) {
                        System.out.println("-----> start inflating children");
                    }

                    // Inflate all children under temp against its context.
                    //11.递归解析子布局
                    rInflateChildren(parser, temp, attrs, true);

                    if (DEBUG) {
                        System.out.println("-----> done inflating children");
                    }

                    // We are supposed to attach all the views we found (int temp)
                    // to root. Do that now.
                    if (root != null && attachToRoot) {
                        //12.root不为null,并且attachToRoot,则将View加入到父View中,并将LayoutParams设置
                        root.addView(temp, params);
                    }

                    // Decide whether to return the root that was passed in or the
                    // top view found in xml.
                    if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {
                        //13.如果root为null或者attachToRoot为false,则返回解析得到的View
                        result = temp;
                    }
                }

            } catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
                final InflateException ie = new InflateException(e.getMessage(), e);
                ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
                throw ie;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                final InflateException ie = new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription()
                        + ": " + e.getMessage(), e);
                ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
                throw ie;
            } finally {
                // Don't retain static reference on context.
                mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
                mConstructorArgs[1] = null;

                Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW);
            }
            //14.返回解析得到的View或者父View
            return result;
        }
    }

首先可以看到,inflate方法是做了线程同步的,为了保证线程安全。紧接着在注释2处可以看到,首先将rootView赋值给了result,所以这里我们需要明白:

有时候我们通过inflate方法加载的xml文件得到的View不一定是我们xml中的父布局,可能是我们传入的rootView,如果不明白这个,轻易的就将View强转成我们认为的xml中的父布局,便会产生类型转换异常

接下来的注释3注释4可以一起理解,是对于XML文件的规则的校验,可以看到这里通过while循环查找布局中的根结点,当没找到规定的根结点,在注释4处当然便会抛没有找到根结点的异常。
紧接着在注释5处可以看到在找到根结点后,通过getName方法获取根结点的名称,这时我们在注释6处就有一个关键的判断了,是关于对于merge结点的判断逻辑。

if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {
                    //root不能为null,attachToRoot不能为false
                    if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {
                        throw new InflateException("<merge /> can be used only with a valid "
                                + "ViewGroup root and attachToRoot=true");
                    }
                    //7。解析merge节点下的
                    rInflate(parser, root, inflaterContext, attrs, false);
                }

这里可以看到如果xml的根结点是merge标签,下面有两个非常重要的判断条件,root==null|| !attachToRoot,当条件成立,便会抛出我们使用merge标签经常遇到的异常。这里细化分析一下,我们rootattachToRoot有多种可能。

  1. 没有传attachToRoot
    1.1 root=null,则attachToRoot为false
    》这时会抛异常
    1.2 root!=null,则attahcToRoot为true
    》允许解析merge标签
    2.传入了attachToRoot
    2.1 root=null,attachToRoot=true
    》抛异常
    2.2 roo!=null,attachToRoot=true
    》允许解析merge标签
    2.3 root=null,attachToRoot=false
    》抛异常
    2.4 root!=null,attachToRoot=false
    》抛异常
    这时这个逻辑就比较清晰了,当我们使用merge标签时,我们的root一定不能传入nullattahToRoot要不不传,传入只能传入true,所以这时就可以证明我们使用merge标签的规则了:

使用merge标签必须有父布局,并且attachToRoot一定为true

当完成这个判断后面便执行rInflate(parser, root, inflaterContext, attrs, false);方法,解析merge标签下的布局。关于rInflate方法后面我们后面再分析。

final View temp = createViewFromTag(root, name, inflaterContext, attrs);

当我们的根布局不是一个merge标签,这时在注释8处,便通过createViewFromTag方法将我们传入的xml中的父布局创建出了我们需要的View对象。关于createViewFromTag后面我们再分析。
当创建完父布局的View后,接下来还是和rootattachToRoot绕弯弯。

if (root != null) {
                        if (DEBUG) {
                            System.out.println("Creating params from root: " +
                                    root);
                        }
                        // Create layout params that match root, if supplied
                        //9。根据父View创建LayoutParams
                        params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs);
                        if (!attachToRoot) {
                            // Set the layout params for temp if we are not
                            // attaching. (If we are, we use addView, below)
                            //10。如果不是attachToRoot,则将LayoutParam设置给View的属性中
                            temp.setLayoutParams(params);
                        }
                    }

有了上面分析的基础这里思路就比较清晰了,可以看到当root不为null,并且attachToRoot为false,则将根据root创建的LayoutParams设置给创建出来的View-temp。所以当root不为null的情况,当我们传入attachToRoot=false,则会把rootLayoutParam设置给创建出来的TempView,当传入的attachToRoot=true,则此处不会设置(注意是此处!)。
紧接着在注释11处,解析完根结点后,调用rInflateChildren方法递归开始解析子布局。

final void rInflateChildren(XmlPullParser parser, View parent, AttributeSet attrs,
            boolean finishInflate) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
        rInflate(parser, parent, parent.getContext(), attrs, finishInflate);
    }

其实可以看到rInflateChildren方法实质调用的还是rInflate方法,所以后面我们会一起分析。

if (root != null && attachToRoot) {
                        //12。root不为null,并且attachToRoot,则将View加入到父View中,并将LayoutParams设置
                        root.addView(temp, params);
                    }

                    // Decide whether to return the root that was passed in or the
                    // top view found in xml.
                    if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {
                        //13。如果root为null或者attachToRoot为false,则返回解析得到的View
                        result = temp;
                    }

这时会看到一个很重要的一点,又和rootattachToRoot这两个变量打交道了,不仔细梳理的话很容易被这两个变量搞混乱。这里看到如果root不为null,并且attachToRoot,则将View加入到父View中,并将LayoutParams设置(在addView中会设置)。并且如果root为null或者attachToRoot为false,会将result设置为解析的temp,则返回解析得到的View(最初是将root设置给了result)。
到此我们的infalte方法其实已经分析完了,这里我们可以梳理一下关于rootattachToRoot的逻辑。

  1. root为null
    》如果root为null,则返回的就是xml中的父布局,并且该View也是没有LayoutParams参数
  2. root不为null
    2.1 attachToRoot=true
    》返回的是root,此时xml已经被加入到了rootView中
    2.2 attachToRoot=false
    》返回的是xml的父布局,但是此时xml的父布局没有被加入到root中,只是一个单纯的View,但是它有LayoutParams,是root类型的LayoutParams.

rInflate方法解析

void rInflate(XmlPullParser parser, View parent, Context context,
            AttributeSet attrs, boolean finishInflate) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
          //获取深度
        final int depth = parser.getDepth();
        int type;
        boolean pendingRequestFocus = false;

        while (((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.END_TAG ||
                parser.getDepth() > depth) && type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {

            if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
                continue;
            }

            final String name = parser.getName();

            if (TAG_REQUEST_FOCUS.equals(name)) {
                pendingRequestFocus = true;
                consumeChildElements(parser);
            } else if (TAG_TAG.equals(name)) {
                //1。解析tag标签,也就是View.setTag
                parseViewTag(parser, parent, attrs);
            } else if (TAG_INCLUDE.equals(name)) {
                //2。解析include标签
                if (parser.getDepth() == 0) {
                    throw new InflateException("<include /> cannot be the root element");
                }
                parseInclude(parser, context, parent, attrs);
            } else if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {
                //3。merge必须为根结点
                throw new InflateException("<merge /> must be the root element");
            } else {
                //4。创建当前节点的View
                final View view = createViewFromTag(parent, name, context, attrs);
                final ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) parent;
                final ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = viewGroup.generateLayoutParams(attrs);
                //递归深度继续解析
                rInflateChildren(parser, view, attrs, true);
                viewGroup.addView(view, params);
            }
        }

        if (pendingRequestFocus) {
            parent.restoreDefaultFocus();
        }

        if (finishInflate) {
            parent.onFinishInflate();
        }
    }

可以看到这里,首先获取xml的深度,然后依旧是while循环解析,所以下面就是各种标签情况的处理了。
首先看到注释1处,可以看到是对于tag标签到解析,当时tag标签,则调用parseViewTag方法。

private void parseViewTag(XmlPullParser parser, View view, AttributeSet attrs)
            throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
        final Context context = view.getContext();
        final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.ViewTag);
        final int key = ta.getResourceId(R.styleable.ViewTag_id, 0);
        final CharSequence value = ta.getText(R.styleable.ViewTag_value);
        //其实就是setTag...
        view.setTag(key, value);
        ta.recycle();

        consumeChildElements(parser);
    }

可以看到,这个方法的本质就是我们常用的setTag方法,也就是说我们可以有以下这种写法(虽然不常用)。

<Button
        android:id="@+id/tag_btn"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="自定义带监听事件的通知">

        <tag
            android:id="@+id/tag_id"
            android:value="@string/app_name" />

    </Button>

接下来解析的是我们常用的include标签,首先在注释2处,我们可以看到,include是不能再xml的深度=0的,应该也没人会把include作为xml的根结点吧。。。紧接着便调用parseInclude方法解析include标签内的布局文件。

private void parseInclude(XmlPullParser parser, Context context, View parent,
            AttributeSet attrs) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
        int type;

        if (parent instanceof ViewGroup) {
            // Apply a theme wrapper, if requested. This is sort of a weird
            // edge case, since developers think the <include> overwrites
            // values in the AttributeSet of the included View. So, if the
            // included View has a theme attribute, we'll need to ignore it.
            final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
            final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
            final boolean hasThemeOverride = themeResId != 0;
            if (hasThemeOverride) {
                context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
            }
            ta.recycle();

            // If the layout is pointing to a theme attribute, we have to
            // massage the value to get a resource identifier out of it.
            int layout = attrs.getAttributeResourceValue(null, ATTR_LAYOUT, 0);
            if (layout == 0) {
                final String value = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, ATTR_LAYOUT);
                if (value == null || value.length() <= 0) {
                    throw new InflateException("You must specify a layout in the"
                            + " include tag: <include layout=\"@layout/layoutID\" />");
                }

                        switch (visibility) {
                            case 0:
                                view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                                break;
                            case 1:
                                view.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

                        group.addView(view);

                    childParser.close();
                }
            }
        } else {
            throw new InflateException("<include /> can only be used inside of a ViewGroup");
        }

        LayoutInflater.consumeChildElements(parser);
    }

这里可以看到include标签记载的布局必须是ViewGroup,不然会抛异常,剩下的仔细看的话会发现其实和inflate方法几乎一摸一样,只不过多了一些属性判断,其实感觉Google这里的写法是可以优化的。。。
解析完include方法后在注释3处就是解析merge标签,这里可以看到,如果是merge标签,便会直接抛异常,当然,在rInflate方法其实已经是解析子View的方法了。

merge标签只能用于根结点

else {
                //4。创建当前节点的View
                final View view = createViewFromTag(parent, name, context, attrs);
                final ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) parent;
                final ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = viewGroup.generateLayoutParams(attrs);
                //递归深度继续解析
                rInflateChildren(parser, view, attrs, true);
                viewGroup.addView(view, params);
            }

剩下的就是其他常规View的创建了,利用createViewFromTag方法进行创建,创建完后调用rInflateChildren继续递归深度继续解析,然后加入到父布局中。
最终完成整个XML->View的转换。

createViewFromTag方法

private View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        return createViewFromTag(parent, name, context, attrs, false);
    }
    
View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
            boolean ignoreThemeAttr) {
        if (name.equals("view")) {
            name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class");
        }

        // Apply a theme wrapper, if allowed and one is specified.
        if (!ignoreThemeAttr) {
            final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
            final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
            if (themeResId != 0) {
                context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
            }
            ta.recycle();
        }

        if (name.equals(TAG_1995)) {
            // Let's party like it's 1995!
            //1。彩蛋,BlinkLayout,好像是为了庆祝1995年的复活节,是一个Layout,包含后,会一闪一闪
            return new BlinkLayout(context, attrs);
        }

        try {
            View view;
            //2。几个工厂,可以通过Activity设置后,自定义创建
            if (mFactory2 != null) {
                view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
            } else if (mFactory != null) {
                view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, context, attrs);
            } else {
                view = null;
            }

            if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) {
                view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
            }

            if (view == null) {
                final Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
                mConstructorArgs[0] = context;
                try {
                    if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) {
                        //3。没有.说明是原生系统内的控件
                        view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
                    } else {
                        //4。有.说明是自定义控件
                        view = createView(name, null, attrs);
                    }
                } finally {
                    mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
                }
            }

            return view;
        } catch (InflateException e) {
            throw e;

        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
            ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
            throw ie;

        } catch (Exception e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
            ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
            throw ie;
        }
    }    

这里我们首先看一个有趣的地方,那就是注释1,这里可以算是源码里的彩蛋,从名字上也就看出了这个的不一般~,这里提供了一个叫做BlinkLayout的控件,好像是为了庆祝1995年的复活节,是一个Layout,包含后,会一闪一闪。

接下来会看到几个工厂的创建,如果我们实现了几个工厂,那么我们就可以自定义View的创建过程,这里关于工厂的内容后面一篇博客会进行分析。
如果是常规的使用,我们一般不会使用自定义工厂这种方式的,所以到后面就是一个关键判断。

if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) {
                        //3。没有.说明是原生系统内的控件
                        view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
                    } else {
                        //4。有.说明是自定义控件
                        view = createView(name, null, attrs);
                    }

这里通过标签名时候包含‘.’作为判断依据,如果不包含‘.’则说明是原生系统内的控件,如果包含则是自定义控件。而系统控件执行的onCreateView方法,实质也是createView方法,只不过加上了”android.view.”的前缀

protected View onCreateView(String name, AttributeSet attrs)
            throws ClassNotFoundException {
        //最终还是调用的是createView方法,只不过加上了"android.view."的前缀
        return createView(name, "android.view.", attrs);
    }

接下来我们来看一下createView方法。

public final View createView(String name, String prefix, AttributeSet attrs)
            throws ClassNotFoundException, InflateException {
        Constructor<? extends View> constructor = sConstructorMap.get(name);
        if (constructor != null && !verifyClassLoader(constructor)) {
            constructor = null;
            sConstructorMap.remove(name);
        }
        Class<? extends View> clazz = null;

        try {
            Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, name);

            if (constructor == null) {
                // Class not found in the cache, see if it's real, and try to add it
                //1。加入的“android.view.”的前缀在此处就会用于查找Class对象
                clazz = mContext.getClassLoader().loadClass(
                        prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name).asSubclass(View.class);

                if (mFilter != null && clazz != null) {
                    boolean allowed = mFilter.onLoadClass(clazz);
                    if (!allowed) {
                        failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
                    }
                }
                //2。构造函数没有缓存,则直接反射调用构造函数,并缓存起来
                constructor = clazz.getConstructor(mConstructorSignature);
                constructor.setAccessible(true);
                sConstructorMap.put(name, constructor);
            } else {
                // If we have a filter, apply it to cached constructor
                if (mFilter != null) {
                    // Have we seen this name before?
                    Boolean allowedState = mFilterMap.get(name);
                    if (allowedState == null) {
                        // New class -- remember whether it is allowed
                        clazz = mContext.getClassLoader().loadClass(
                                prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name).asSubclass(View.class);

                        boolean allowed = clazz != null && mFilter.onLoadClass(clazz);
                        mFilterMap.put(name, allowed);
                        if (!allowed) {
                            failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
                        }
                    } else if (allowedState.equals(Boolean.FALSE)) {
                        failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
                    }
                }
            }

            Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
            if (mConstructorArgs[0] == null) {
                // Fill in the context if not already within inflation.
                mConstructorArgs[0] = mContext;
            }
            Object[] args = mConstructorArgs;
            args[1] = attrs;
            //3。利用反射构造函数,进行创建View
            final View view = constructor.newInstance(args);
            if (view instanceof ViewStub) {
                // Use the same context when inflating ViewStub later.
                final ViewStub viewStub = (ViewStub) view;
                //ViewStub会设置inflater
                viewStub.setLayoutInflater(cloneInContext((Context) args[0]));
            }
            mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
            return view;

        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + (prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name), e);
            ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
            throw ie;

        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            // If loaded class is not a View subclass
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Class is not a View " + (prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name), e);
            ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
            throw ie;
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            // If loadClass fails, we should propagate the exception.
            throw e;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(
                    attrs.getPositionDescription() + ": Error inflating class "
                            + (clazz == null ? "<unknown>" : clazz.getName()), e);
            ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
            throw ie;
        } finally {
            Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW);
        }
    }

这个方法还是比较简单的,首先在注释1处我们会发现我们刚才加入的”android.view.”的前缀会加入到class到全类名中,用于查找Class对象。
紧接着在注释2其实LayoutInflater查找缓存中的构造器对象,避免频繁的调用反射来查找使用构造器函数。

private static final HashMap<String, Constructor<? extends View>> sConstructorMap =
            new HashMap<String, Constructor<? extends View>>();

可以看到这里就是一个类名作为key,构造器函数作为value的hashMap
最后在注释3处通过反射调用View的构造函数,实现View的创建。

final View view = constructor.newInstance(args);

总结

到此关于LayoutInflater的源码分析算是有了一个整体的认识,通过分析inflate方法我们其实不仅仅可以学习关于加载布局时rootattachToRoot的关系,还可以了解到关于include标签,merge标签,的使用规则。当然我们最终会发现其实LayoutInflater的实质就递归解析,解析到类名后,如果是自定义的则是全类名,系统的则自动加上“android.view.”前缀,然后通过反射调用该类的构造函数,最终创建出View。
下一篇博客会继续分析关于LayoutInflater中关于工厂的使用,通过分析我们会发现关于fragment标签在系统的解析方式(本篇没有发现源码中有关于fragment标签的踪迹)。
