App launch process (including the Activity start) | android offers harvest

This problem in the interview once “novice network” encountered, but then only asked “Activity start process”, here on the entire “App start process” complete source code analysis, I hope to help you.

Source code analysis

1. The process of capturing click events is`Launcher#onClick` -> `Launcher#onClickAppShortcut` -> `Launcher#startAppShortcutOrInfoActivity` -> `Launcher#startActivitySafely` -> `Activity#startActivity`The Launcher3 source code is as follows:

// https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/blob/f7951c32984036eef2f2130f21abded3ddf6160a/src/com/android/launcher3/Launcher. java#L2249
public void onClick(View v) {... Object tag = v.getTag();if (tag instanceofShortcutInfo) { onClickAppShortcut(v); }... }// https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/blob/f7951c32984036eef2f2130f21abded3ddf6160a/src/com/android/launcher3/Launcher. java#L2412
protected void onClickAppShortcut(final View v) {...// Start activities
    startAppShortcutOrInfoActivity(v);
}

// https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/blob/f7951c32984036eef2f2130f21abded3ddf6160a/src/com/android/launcher3/Launcher. java#L2462
private void startAppShortcutOrInfoActivity(View v) {
    ItemInfo item = (ItemInfo) v.getTag();
    Intent intent;// The application is parsed and saved by PackageManagerService according to androidmanifest.xml when installed
    if (item instanceof PromiseAppInfo) {
        PromiseAppInfo promiseAppInfo = (PromiseAppInfo) item;
        intent = promiseAppInfo.getMarketIntent();
    } else{ intent = item.getIntent(); }...booleansuccess = startActivitySafely(v, intent, item); . }// https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/blob/f7951c32984036eef2f2130f21abded3ddf6160a/src/com/android/launcher3/Launcher. java#L2689
public boolean startActivitySafely(View v, Intent intent, ItemInfo item) {... intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); . startActivity(intent, optsBundle); . }Copy the code

2. Take API 27 source code as an example, said`Acitvity#startActivity`, we click on the source code to find the call is`Activity#startActivityForResult`, which is called`Instrumentation#execStartActivity`The source code for this method is as follows:

/ / http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java#4800
public void startActivity(Intent intent, @Nullable Bundle options) {
    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); }}/ / http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Activity.java#4482
public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode,
        @Nullable Bundle options) {... Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar = mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this, intent, requestCode, options); . }Copy the code

In 3.`Instrumentation#execStartActivity`We can find it called in`ActivityManager#getService()#startActivity`, its`ActivityManager#getService()`It takes a singleton and returns an implementation`IActivityManager`The type of`Binder`Object, whose concrete implementation is in`ActivityManagerService`In the.

/ / http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Instrumentation.java#1578
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
        Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
        Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {...try{...intresult = ActivityManager.getService() .startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent, intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()), token, target ! =null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
                    requestCode, 0.null, options); . }catch (RemoteException e) {
        ...
    }
    return null;
}

/ / http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityManager.java#4216
public static IActivityManager getService(a) {
    return IActivityManagerSingleton.get();
}
private static final Singleton<IActivityManager> IActivityManagerSingleton =
        new Singleton<IActivityManager>() {
            @Override
            protected IActivityManager create(a) {
                final IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
                final IActivityManager am = IActivityManager.Stub.asInterface(b);
                returnam; }};Copy the code

We’ll get there again`ActivityManagerService#startActivity`Look at the source code and find that it is called`ActivityManagerService#startActivityAsUser`The method is called again`ActivityStarter#startActivityMayWait`, the source code is as follows:

// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.ja va#4516
@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) {
    enforceNotIsolatedCaller("startActivity");
    userId = mUserController.handleIncomingUser(Binder.getCallingPid(), Binder.getCallingUid(),
            userId, false, ALLOW_FULL_ONLY, "startActivity".null);
    // TODO: Switch to user app stacks here.
    return mActivityStarter.startActivityMayWait(caller, -1, callingPackage, intent,
            resolvedType, null.null, resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, startFlags,
            profilerInfo, null.null, bOptions, false, userId, null."startActivityAsUser");
}
Copy the code

5. We found it`ActivityStarter#startActivityMayWait`, which is called`ActivityStarter#startActivityLocked`And then the`ActivityStarter#startActivity`, and then the`ActivityStarter#startActivityUnchecked`, which is called`ActivityStackSupervisor#resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked`, the source code is as follows:

// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java#673
final int startActivityMayWait(IApplicationThread caller, int callingUid,

        IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,

        ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, WaitResult outResult,
        Configuration globalConfig, Bundle bOptions, boolean ignoreTargetSecurity, int userId,
        TaskRecord inTask, String reason) {...intres = startActivityLocked(caller, intent, ephemeralIntent, resolvedType, aInfo, rInfo, voiceSession, voiceInteractor, resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, callingPid, callingUid, callingPackage, realCallingPid, realCallingUid, startFlags, options, ignoreTargetSecurity, componentSpecified, outRecord, inTask, reason); . }// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java#263
int startActivityLocked(IApplicationThread caller, Intent intent, Intent ephemeralIntent,
        String resolvedType, ActivityInfo aInfo, ResolveInfo rInfo,
        IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
        IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode, int callingPid, int callingUid,
        String callingPackage, int realCallingPid, int realCallingUid, int startFlags,
        ActivityOptions options, boolean ignoreTargetSecurity, boolean componentSpecified,
        ActivityRecord[] outActivity, TaskRecord inTask, String reason) {... mLastStartActivityResult = startActivity(caller, intent, ephemeralIntent, resolvedType, aInfo, rInfo, voiceSession, voiceInteractor, resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, callingPid, callingUid, callingPackage, realCallingPid, realCallingUid, startFlags, options, ignoreTargetSecurity, componentSpecified, mLastStartActivityRecord, inTask); }// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java#294
private int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, Intent intent, Intent ephemeralIntent,
        String resolvedType, ActivityInfo aInfo, ResolveInfo rInfo,
        IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
        IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode, int callingPid, int callingUid,
        String callingPackage, int realCallingPid, int realCallingUid, int startFlags,
        ActivityOptions options, boolean ignoreTargetSecurity, boolean componentSpecified,
        ActivityRecord[] outActivity, TaskRecord inTask) {...return startActivity(r, sourceRecord, voiceSession, voiceInteractor, startFlags, true,
            options, inTask, outActivity);
}

// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java#988
private int startActivity(final ActivityRecord r, ActivityRecord sourceRecord,
        IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
        int startFlags, boolean doResume, ActivityOptions options, TaskRecord inTask,
        ActivityRecord[] outActivity) {... result = startActivityUnchecked(r, sourceRecord, voiceSession, voiceInteractor, startFlags, doResume, options, inTask, outActivity); . }// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStarter.java#1015
private int startActivityUnchecked(final ActivityRecord r, ActivityRecord sourceRecord,
        IVoiceInteractionSession voiceSession, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
        int startFlags, boolean doResume, ActivityOptions options, TaskRecord inTask,
        ActivityRecord[] outActivity) {... mSupervisor.resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked(mTargetStack, mStartActivity, mOptions); . }Copy the code

To 6.`ActivityStackSupervisor#resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked`It was found that it was called`ActivityStack#resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked`, and then the`ActivityStack#resumeTopActivityInnerLocked`And then change back to`ActivityStackSupervisor.java`And call the`ActivityStackSupervisor#startSpecificActivityLocked`If yes, notify the process to start the Activity. Otherwise, create the process first.

// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.j ava#2085
boolean resumeFocusedStackTopActivityLocked( ActivityStack targetStack, ActivityRecord target, ActivityOptions targetOptions) {...returntargetStack.resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(target, targetOptions); . }// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java#2245
boolean resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {... result = resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(prev, options); . } http:/ / androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java#2286
private boolean resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {... mStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked(next,true.true); . }// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.j ava#1560
void startSpecificActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r,
        boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) {...if(app ! =null&& app.thread ! =null) {...// If the process already exists, notify the process to start the component
        realStartActivityLocked(r, app, andResume, checkConfig);
        return; . }// Otherwise, create the process first
    mService.startProcessLocked(r.processName, r.info.applicationInfo, true.0."activity", r.intent.getComponent(), false.false.true); . }Copy the code

7. We analyze situations where the process does not yet exist because we will encounter them again later`ActivityStackSupervisor#realStartActivityLocked`.`ActivityStackSupervisor#startSpecificActivityLocked`Used by the process created in`mService` 为 `ActivityManagerService`, we look at`ActivityManagerService#startProcessLocked`The source code is as follows:

// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.ja va#3777
private final void startProcessLocked(ProcessRecord app, String hostingType, String hostingNameStr, String abiOverride, String entryPoint, String[] entryPointArgs) {...if (entryPoint == null) entryPoint = "android.app.ActivityThread"; startResult = Process.start(entryPoint, app.processName, uid, uid, gids, debugFlags, mountExternal, app.info.targetSdkVersion, seInfo, requiredAbi, instructionSet, app.info.dataDir, invokeWith, entryPointArgs); . }Copy the code

8. Discover the final call`Process#start`To start the process, the process entry is in`android.app.ActivityThread.java`In the class`main()`Delta function, so we’re going to go from`ActivityThread#main`To analyze, it calls`ActivityThread#attach`, including`ActivityManager.getService()`As mentioned earlier, what you get back is an implementation`IActivityManager`The type of`Binder`Object, whose concrete implementation is in`ActivityManagerService`, the relevant source code is as follows:

/ / http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java#6459
public static void main(String[] args) {... Looper.prepareMainLooper(); ActivityThread thread =new ActivityThread();
    thread.attach(false); . Looper.loop(); . }/ / http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java#6315
private void attach(boolean system) {
    sCurrentActivityThread = this;
    mSystemThread = system;
    if(! system) { ...final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManager.getService();
        try {
            mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);
        } catch(RemoteException ex) { ... }... }... }Copy the code

9. We’re back`ActivityManagerService`To view it`attachApplication`Function, found called`thread#bindApplication` 和 `mStackSupervisor#attachApplicationLocked`We explain what each method does in turn, and the source code looks like this:

// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.ja va#7215
public final void attachApplication(IApplicationThread thread) {... attachApplicationLocked(thread, callingPid); . }// http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.ja va#6911
private final boolean attachApplicationLocked(IApplicationThread thread,
        int pid) {... thread.bindApplication(processName, appInfo, providers, app.instr.mClass, profilerInfo, app.instr.mArguments, app.instr.mWatcher, app.instr.mUiAutomationConnection, testMode, mBinderTransactionTrackingEnabled, enableTrackAllocation, isRestrictedBackupMode || ! normalMode, app.persistent,newConfiguration(getGlobalConfiguration()), app.compat, getCommonServicesLocked(app.isolated), mCoreSettingsObserver.getCoreSettingsLocked(), buildSerial); .if (normalMode) {
        try {
            if (mStackSupervisor.attachApplicationLocked(app)) {
                didSomething = true; }}catch(Exception e) { ... }}... }Copy the code

10. It says so`thread#bindApplication`In this`thread`Comes from the`ActivityThread#mAppThread`, its type is`ApplicationThread`, it is`ActivityThread`An inner class inherited from`IApplicationThread.Stub`Let’s check it out`ApplicationThread#bindApplication`Found that the last call`ActivityThread#sendMessage`Method, it calls internally`mH.sendMessage`To send a message,`mH` 是 `ActivityThread`The inner class`H`For an example of`H#handleMessage`To see what it does with the messages that come in, and it gets there`ActivityThread#handleBindApplication`.

The Application object is created by calling data#info#makeApplication. The data#info object is an instance of LoadedApk, Instrumentation#newApplication Instrumentation#newApplication, Instrumentation#newApplication, Class#newInstance() Instrumentation#newApplication Then call Application#attach(context) to bind the context.

Instrumentation#callApplicationOnCreate Instrumentation#callApplicationOnCreate Instrumentation#callApplicationOnCreate Instrumentation#callApplicationOnCreate

11. That’s all for 9`thread#bindApplication`Let’s move on`mStackSupervisor#attachApplicationLocked`, its`mStackSupervisor` 是 `ActivityStackSupervisor`An example of what we are looking at`ActivityStackSupervisor#attachApplicationLocked`Method is found to be called`ActivityStackSupervisor#realStartActivityLocked`, whose method is called`app#thread#scheduleLaunchActivity`, the source code is as follows:

12. As mentioned above`app#thread#scheduleLaunchActivity`In the`thread`That was mentioned earlier`IApplicationThread`, its implementation class is`ActivityThread#ApplicationThread`, we look at`ActivityThread#ApplicationThread#scheduleLaunchActivity`The code found in is ultimately sent`LAUNCH_ACTIVITY`Message, which we have analyzed in step 10, we can directly look at the message processing code, in the`H#handleMessage`In, we can see that it receives and processes many operations related to the four components`LAUNCH_ACTIVITY`It is found that the method of its processing is`ActivityThread#handleLaunchActivity`And it calls`ActivityThread#performLaunchActivity`Method, the implementation of which is covered again`Instrumentation`Class, which was created before`Application`Object uses it, now create`Activity`Object uses it again, its`Instrumentation#newActivity`through`Class.newInstance()`To instantiate`Activity`, returns after the instantiation`ActivityThread#performLaunchActivity`To get in`activity`Attach to the window, and then`callActivityOnCreate` 走 `Activity` 的 `onCreate`The source code involved in the lifecycle is as follows:

Source code analysis

1. The process of capturing click events isLauncher#onClick -> Launcher#onClickAppShortcut -> Launcher#startAppShortcutOrInfoActivity -> Launcher#startActivitySafely -> Activity#startActivityThe Launcher3 source code is as follows:

2. Take API 27 source code as an example, saidAcitvity#startActivity, we click on the source code to find the call isActivity#startActivityForResult, which is calledInstrumentation#execStartActivityThe source code for this method is as follows:

In 3.Instrumentation#execStartActivityWe can find it called inActivityManager#getService()#startActivity, itsActivityManager#getService()It takes a singleton and returns an implementationIActivityManagerThe type ofBinderObject, whose concrete implementation is inActivityManagerServiceIn the.

We’ll get there againActivityManagerService#startActivityLook at the source code and find that it is calledActivityManagerService#startActivityAsUserThe method is called againActivityStarter#startActivityMayWait, the source code is as follows:

9. We’re backActivityManagerServiceTo view itattachApplicationFunction, found calledthread#bindApplication 和 mStackSupervisor#attachApplicationLockedWe explain what each method does in turn, and the source code looks like this:
