在Zygote进程启动过程的源代码分析一文中介绍到，Zygote是java世界的开创者，所有的java应用进程都是通过Zygote孵化出来的。我们知道在Android应用程序框架层中，ActivityManagerService组件负责管理Android应用程序的创建，ActivityManagerService也是运行在独立的进程SystemServer中，SystemServer进程启动过程源码分析中介绍了SystemServer进程是如果通过开启线程来启动各种服务，ActivityManagerService也是System Server启动的服务之一。
ActivityManagerService请求创建应用程序进程
当系统决定要在一个新的进程中启动一个Activity或者Service时，它就会创建一个新的进程，ActivityManagerService通过调用startProcessLocked函数来为应用程序启动新的进程。

app = null;
}
// We don't have to do anything more if:

// object attached to it so we know it couldn't have crashed; and

// already running.

}最后将参数列表写入到创建的客户端Socket中，从而将应用程序启动参数发送给Zygote进程，启动参数包括：

要启动一个新的应用程序进程，应用程序不能直接请求Zygote来fork出新进程，而是要通过SystemServer进程中的ActivityManagerService服务来请求Zygote进程。
Zygote进程孵化应用程序进程
ActivityManagerService通过Socket方式将请求参数发送给Zygote，此时Zygote正在runSelectLoopMode()函数中监听Socket连接。

*/

}
}当接收到新的客户端socket连接请求时，函数从selectReadable中返回，并为该客户端连接创建一个ZygoteConnection实例；当Zygote接收到SystemServer进程发送过来的应用程序进程启动参数时，就会调用相应ZygoteConnection实例的runOnce()函数来启动一个新的进程。

} else {
//为应用程序进程启动Binder线程池
RuntimeInit.zygoteInit(parsedArgs.targetSdkVersion,parsedArgs.remainingArgs);
}
} else {
String className;
try {
//读取新进程执行的类名，在Process.start()函数中，传过来的类名为："android.app.ActivityThread"
className = parsedArgs.remainingArgs[0];
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) {
logAndPrintError(newStderr,"Missing required class name argument", null);
return;
}
String[] mainArgs = new String[parsedArgs.remainingArgs.length - 1];
System.arraycopy(parsedArgs.remainingArgs, 1,mainArgs, 0, mainArgs.length);
if (parsedArgs.invokeWith != null) {
WrapperInit.execStandalone(parsedArgs.invokeWith,parsedArgs.classpath, className, mainArgs);
} else {
//获取类加载器
ClassLoader cloader;
if (parsedArgs.classpath != null) {
cloader = new PathClassLoader(parsedArgs.classpath,ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
} else {
cloader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
}
//加载并执行"android.app.ActivityThread"类
try {
ZygoteInit.invokeStaticMain(cloader, className, mainArgs);
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
logAndPrintError(newStderr, "Error starting.", ex);
}
}
}
}由于应用程序启动参数中已经设置了”–runtime-init”标志位，因此新创建的应用程序进程将调用RuntimeInit.zygoteInit()函数来初始化运行时库，为应用程序启动Binder线程池，完成这些准备工作后，调用应用程序进程的入口函数ActivityThread.main()为应用程序进程创建消息循环。
frameworks\base\core\java\com\android\internal\os\RuntimeInit.java
public static final void zygoteInit(int targetSdkVersion, String[] argv)
throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
if (DEBUG) Slog.d(TAG, "RuntimeInit: Starting application from zygote");
//重定向Log输出流
redirectLogStreams();
//初始化运行环境
commonInit();
//启动Binder线程池
nativeZygoteInit();
//调用程序入口函数
applicationInit(targetSdkVersion, argv);
}1. 初始化Log输出流
/**
* Redirect System.out and System.err to the Android log.
*/
public static void redirectLogStreams() {
System.out.close();
System.setOut(new AndroidPrintStream(Log.INFO, "System.out"));
System.err.close();
System.setErr(new AndroidPrintStream(Log.WARN, "System.err"));
}
2.初始化运行环境
private static final void commonInit() {
if (DEBUG) Slog.d(TAG, "Entered RuntimeInit!");
/* set default handler; this applies to all threads in the VM */
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new UncaughtHandler());
/*
* Install a TimezoneGetter subclass for ZoneInfo.db
*/
TimezoneGetter.setInstance(new TimezoneGetter() {
@Override
public String getId() {
return SystemProperties.get("persist.sys.timezone");
}
});
TimeZone.setDefault(null);
/*
* Sets handler for java.util.logging to use Android log facilities.
* The odd "new instance-and-then-throw-away" is a mirror of how
* the "java.util.logging.config.class" system property works. We
* can't use the system property here since the logger has almost
* certainly already been initialized.
*/
LogManager.getLogManager().reset();
new AndroidConfig();
/*
* Sets the default HTTP User-Agent used by HttpURLConnection.
*/
String userAgent = getDefaultUserAgent();
System.setProperty("http.agent", userAgent);
/*
* Wire socket tagging to traffic stats.
*/
NetworkManagementSocketTagger.install();
/*
* If we're running in an emulator launched with "-trace", put the
* VM into emulator trace profiling mode so that the user can hit
* F9/F10 at any time to capture traces. This has performance
* consequences, so it's not something you want to do always.
*/
String trace = SystemProperties.get("ro.kernel.android.tracing");
if (trace.equals("1")) {
Slog.i(TAG, "NOTE: emulator trace profiling enabled");
Debug.enableEmulatorTraceOutput();
}
initialized = true;
}3.启动Binder线程池
关于Binder线程池的启动过程请参考Android应用程序启动Binder线程源码分析
4.调用进程入口函数
static void invokeStaticMain(ClassLoader loader,
String className, String[] argv)
throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
//加载"android.app.ActivityThread"类
Class<?> cl;
try {
cl = loader.loadClass(className);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("Missing class when invoking static main " + className,
ex);
}
//通过类反射机制查找ActivityThread类中的main函数
Method m;
try {
m = cl.getMethod("main", new Class[] { String[].class });
} catch (NoSuchMethodException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("Missing static main on " + className, ex);
} catch (SecurityException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("Problem getting static main on " + className, ex);
}
//获取main函数的修饰符
int modifiers = m.getModifiers();
//进程入口函数必须为静态Public类型
if (! (Modifier.isStatic(modifiers) && Modifier.isPublic(modifiers))) {
throw new RuntimeException("Main method is not public and static on " + className);
}
/*
* This throw gets caught in ZygoteInit.main(), which responds
* by invoking the exception's run() method. This arrangement
* clears up all the stack frames that were required in setting
* up the process.
*/
throw new ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller(m, argv);
}抛出MethodAndArgsCaller异常，并在ZygoteInit.main()函数中捕获该异常，这样就可以清除应用程序进程创建过程的调用栈，将应用程序启动的入口函数设置为ActivityThread.main()
frameworks\base\core\java\com\android\internal\os\ZygoteInit.java
public static void main(String argv[]) {
try {
...
//捕获MethodAndArgsCaller异常
} catch (MethodAndArgsCaller caller) {
caller.run();
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
Log.e(TAG, "Zygote died with exception", ex);
closeServerSocket();
throw ex;
}
}在该函数里，捕获了MethodAndArgsCaller异常，并调用MethodAndArgsCaller类的run()方法来处理异常：
public static class MethodAndArgsCaller extends Exception implements Runnable {
public void run() {
try {
mMethod.invoke(null, new Object[] { mArgs });
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
} catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
Throwable cause = ex.getCause();
if (cause instanceof RuntimeException) {
throw (RuntimeException) cause;
} else if (cause instanceof Error) {
throw (Error) cause;
}
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
}
}这里通过反射机制调用ActivityThread类的main函数，到此新的应用程序进程就创建完毕，同时新的应用程序从ActivityThread.main()函数中开始运行。
frameworks\base\core\java\android\app\ActivityThread.java
public static void main(String[] args) {
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
// CloseGuard defaults to true and can be quite spammy. We
// disable it here, but selectively enable it later (via
// StrictMode) on debug builds, but using DropBox, not logs.
CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);
Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");
//为新的应用程序创建消息队列
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = new Handler();
}
//创建一个ActivityThread对象，初始化应用程序运行环境，每一个进程对应一个ActivityThread实例
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
//建立与ActivityManagerService之间的Binder通信通道
thread.attach(false);
AsyncTask.init();
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(newLogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
//为新的应用程序进程启动消息循环，这个消息循环就是应用程序主线程消息循环
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}至此，Android应用程序进程启动过程的源代码就分析完成了，以下是android应用进程的启动过程的时序图：
