1、ContextWrapper.startService
startService是Context的方法,Activity、Service都继承自ContextWrapper,而ContextWrapper又继承自Context,BroadcastReceiver的onReceive方法中有个参数是Context类型的,所以我们在Activity、Service、BroadcastReceiver中都可以调用startService方法,当在Activity等中调用startService时,首先会调用到ContextWrapper的startService方法:
public ComponentName startService(Intent service) { return mBase.startService(service); }
2、ContextImpl.startService
mBase是ContextImpl的实例,从名字也可以看到ContextImpl也是Context的子类,从ContextWrapper的名字也可以看到,它只是Context的包装类,其函数内部的实现都是通过调用内部ContextImpl类的实例mBase来完成实际请求,这被称为装饰者模式。
ContextImpl的startService直接调用startServiceAsUser,在startServiceAsUser中调用ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().startService,ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()返回一个IActivityManager对象,典型的Binder通信。所以接下来会通过ActivityManagerProxy的startService经由Binder调用到ActivityManagerService(继承自ActivityManagerNative)的startService方法。
public ComponentName startServiceAsUser(Intent service, UserHandle user) { try { service.setAllowFds(false); ComponentName cn = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().startService( mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), service, service.resolveTypeIfNeeded(getContentResolver()), user.getIdentifier()); ... return cn; } catch (RemoteException e) { return null; } }
3、ActivityManagerService.startService与ActiveServices
在ActivityManagerService的startService中,首先检查Caller的合法性(PID、UID),然后调用ActiveServices的startServiceLocked方法(在旧版本中这个方法在ActivityManagerService中),在startServiceLocked中,首先通过retrieveServiceLocked检索我们调用startService时传入的Intent信息,将结果存入ServiceLookupResult.record中(ServiceRecord),紧接着调用ActiveServices的bringUpServiceLocked方法。
在bringUpServiceLocked中调用ActivityManagerService的startProcessLocked获得一个ProcessRecord对象并将其加入到mPendingServices队列中。startServiceLocked、bringUpServiceLocked都是从ActivityManagerService中调用过来的,所以是一直运行在ActivityaManagerService进程中,再调用ActivityManagerService的方法就是直接调用,而不用通过IPC。
ActivityManagerService中有两个重载形式的startProcessLocked,首先进入参数多的那一个,通过newProcessRecordLocked获得一个ProcessRecord对象,然后把这个对象作为参数调用另一个形式的startProcessLocked,在这个startProcessLocked中,调用Process.start创建一个新的进程,将返回的Process.ProcessStartResult对象、新进程的PID及获得的ProcessRecord对象放入mPidSelfLocked列表中。
final ProcessRecord startProcessLocked(String processName, ApplicationInfo info, boolean knownToBeDead, int intentFlags, String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName, boolean allowWhileBooting, boolean isolated) { ... app = newProcessRecordLocked(null, info, processName, isolated); ... startProcessLocked(app, hostingType, hostingNameStr); return (app.pid != 0) ? app : null; } private final void startProcessLocked(ProcessRecord app, String hostingType, String hostingNameStr) { ... Process.ProcessStartResult startResult = Process.start("android.app.ActivityThread", app.processName, uid, uid, gids, debugFlags, mountExternal, app.info.targetSdkVersion, null, null); ... synchronized (mPidsSelfLocked) { this.mPidsSelfLocked.put(startResult.pid, app); ... } ... }
4、ActivityThread.main
在Process.start中创建了一个进程,然后调用了ActivityThread的main函数。
public static void main(String[] args) { ... Looper.prepareMainLooper(); ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread(); thread.attach(false); if (sMainThreadHandler == null) { sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler(); } ... Looper.loop(); ... }
5、ActivityManagerService.attachApplication
在main中新建一个ActivityThread对象,并调用其attach方法,参数表示是否是系统进程。这里已经是在新进程里了。在attach中,又调用了ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().attachApplication(mAppThread)。同样,经由Binder由ActivityManagerProxy到了ActivityManagerService的attachApplication方法,在attachApplication中直接调用attachApplicationLocked。
在attachApplicationLocked中,通过新进程的PID获得在第3步中放入mPidSelfLocked列表中的ProcessRecord对象,然后调用ActiveyServices的attachApplicationLocked方法,在这个方法中通过进程PID与进程名找到在第3步中放入mPendingServices中的ServiceRecord对象,再以这个找到的ServiceRecord对象与传入的ProcessRecord对象为参数调用realStartServiceLocked,这个函数也在ActiveServices中。
private final boolean attachApplicationLocked(IApplicationThread thread, nt pid) { ProcessRecord app; if (pid != MY_PID && pid >= 0) { synchronized (mPidsSelfLocked) { app = mPidsSelfLocked.get(pid); } } else { app = null; } ... mServices.attachApplicationLocked(app, processName); ... } boolean attachApplicationLocked(ProcessRecord proc, String processName) throws Exception { boolean didSomething = false; // Collect any services that are waiting for this process to come up. if (mPendingServices.size() > 0) { ServiceRecord sr = null; try { for (int i=0; i<mPendingServices.size(); i++) { sr = mPendingServices.get(i); if (proc != sr.isolatedProc && (proc.uid != sr.appInfo.uid || !processName.equals(sr.processName))) { continue; } mPendingServices.remove(i); i--; realStartServiceLocked(sr, proc); didSomething = true; } } catch (Exception e) { Slog.w(TAG, "Exception in new application when starting service " + sr.shortName, e); throw e; } } ... }
6、ActiveServices.realStartServiceLocked
在realStartServiceLocked中,取得传入的ProcessRecord对象的IApplicationThread类型的成员变量thread,调用其scheduleCreateService方法,同ActivityManagerProxy一样,调用的是ApplicationThreadProxy的scheduleCreateService,然后经由Binder到ApplicationThread的scheduleCreateService(ApplicationThread是ActivityThread的私有内部类)。
7、ApplicationThread.scheduleCreateService与ActivityThread.handleCreateService
在ApplicationThread的scheduleCreateService中调用了外部类ActivityThread的queueOrSendMessage方法,向H中sendMessage(H继承自Handler),接下来肯定到了H的handleMessage,在handleMessage中走CREATE_SERVICE的switch case,调用外部类ActivityThread的handleCreateService方法。
在handleCreateService通过JAVA的ClassLoader load加载要启动的Service的类,并通过newInstance新建一个Service的实例,new ContextImpl,makeApplication并跟新建的Service实例attach,然后调用我们熟悉的Service的onCreate方法,至此Service启动成功。
private void handleCreateService(CreateServiceData data) { // If we are getting ready to gc after going to the background, well // we are back active so skip it. unscheduleGcIdler(); LoadedApk packageInfo = getPackageInfoNoCheck( data.info.applicationInfo, data.compatInfo); Service service = null; try { java.lang.ClassLoader cl = packageInfo.getClassLoader(); service = (Service) cl.loadClass(data.info.name).newInstance(); } catch (Exception e) { ... } try { if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Creating service " + data.info.name); ContextImpl context = new ContextImpl(); context.init(packageInfo, null, this); Application app = packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation); context.setOuterContext(service); service.attach(context, this, data.info.name, data.token, app, ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()); // 调用Service的onCreate,即要启动的Service的onCreate service.onCreate(); mServices.put(data.token, service); try { ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().serviceDoneExecuting( data.token, 0, 0, 0); } catch (RemoteException e) { // nothing to do. } } catch (Exception e) { ... } }
总结:
1、调用ContextImpl的startService,通过Binder进入ActivityManagerService的进程执行ActivityManagerService的startService方法。
2、在startService过程中新建一个进程,在新建的进程中创建Looper,调用ActivityThread的attach方法,然后就又进入了ActivityManagerService的进程。
3、获取要在新进程启动的服务的相关信息,在ActivityManagerService中通过ApplicationThreadProxy又进入Service进程,Service的进程启起来,调用我们熟悉的Service的onCreate方法。
