前言：
元旦假期，闲暇之余，写篇文章，总结下Activity启动过程。
概述：
Activity作为四大组件（Activity、Service、BroadcastReceiver、ContentProvider）之首，也是我们使用最频繁的应用程序组件，它是用来展示给用户一个可以与之进行交互的界面。一般来讲，我们启动一个Activity有两种方式：显示意图和隐式意图。
那么，如下所示：
Intent intent = new Intent(this, BActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);这样子来启动BActivity，很简单的代码，但是其过程真的就如此简单吗？其实不是，这是因为Android系统做了很大程度的封装，以极大简化我们使用Activity的成本。那么系统内部到底已经为我们做了哪些事情呢？我们一起来看。
首先，我们可以抛出一些问题，带着问题去研究，会使得我们更具有目的性。
- 以上代码是怎么启动BActivity的？
- BActivity的onCreate等生命周期方法是何时执行的？
- BActivity对象是何时创建的？
- 视图是怎么处理的，并且又是何时可见的？
Activity启动流程图：
流程分析：
Activity启动的发起
从startActivity方法开始，会走到startActivityForResult方法：
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);
}
} 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) {
// If this start is requesting a result, we can avoid making
// the activity visible until the result is received. Setting
// this code during onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) or onResume() will keep the
// activity hidden during this time, to avoid flickering.
// This can only be done when a result is requested because
// that guarantees we will get information back when the
// activity is finished, no matter what happens to it.
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);
}
}
}我们看到里面调用了mInstrumentation.execStartActivity方法，其中的一个参数是mMainThread.getApplicationThread()，它的类型是ApplicationThread（ApplicationThread是ActivityThread的内部类，并且继承自IApplicationThread.Stub） 。而Instrumentation具有跟踪application及activity生命周期的功能，用于android应用测试框架中代码检测。现在我们接着看mInstrumentation.execStartActivity方法：
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
Uri referrer = target != null ? target.onProvideReferrer() : null;
if (referrer != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER, referrer);
}
if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
synchronized (mSync) {
final int N = mActivityMonitors.size();
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
final ActivityMonitor am = mActivityMonitors.get(i);
ActivityResult result = null;
if (am.ignoreMatchingSpecificIntents()) {
result = am.onStartActivity(intent);
}
if (result != null) {
am.mHits++;
return result;
} else if (am.match(who, null, intent)) {
am.mHits++;
if (am.isBlocking()) {
return requestCode >= 0 ? am.getResult() : null;
}
break;
}
}
}
}
try {
intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(who);
int result = ActivityTaskManager.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;
}我们注意看其中的一段代码：
int result = ActivityTaskManager.getService()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);我们可以发现，Activity的启动又交给了ActivityTaskManager.getService()，继续跟进去看看：
public static IActivityTaskManager getService() {
return IActivityTaskManagerSingleton.get();
}
@UnsupportedAppUsage(trackingBug = 129726065)
private static final Singleton<IActivityTaskManager> IActivityTaskManagerSingleton =
new Singleton<IActivityTaskManager>() {
@Override
protected IActivityTaskManager create() {
final IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService(Context.ACTIVITY_TASK_SERVICE);
return IActivityTaskManager.Stub.asInterface(b);
}
};我们看到了IBinder，那么这里是获取一个跨进程的服务，即ActivityTaskManagerService(ATMS)，它继承于IActivityTaskManager.Stub。
public class ActivityTaskManagerService extends IActivityTaskManager.StubATMS是用于管理Activity及其容器（比如任务、堆栈等等）的系统服务，运行在系统服务进程（system_server）之中。
ActivityTaskManager.getService().startActivity有个返回值result，并且紧接着调用了 checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
/** @hide */
@UnsupportedAppUsage(maxTargetSdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.P, trackingBug = 115609023)
public static void checkStartActivityResult(int res, Object intent) {
if (!ActivityManager.isStartResultFatalError(res)) {
return;
}
switch (res) {
case ActivityManager.START_INTENT_NOT_RESOLVED:
case ActivityManager.START_CLASS_NOT_FOUND:
if (intent instanceof Intent && ((Intent)intent).getComponent() != null)
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"Unable to find explicit activity class "
+ ((Intent)intent).getComponent().toShortString()
+ "; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?");
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"No Activity found to handle " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_PERMISSION_DENIED:
throw new SecurityException("Not allowed to start activity "
+ intent);
case ActivityManager.START_FORWARD_AND_REQUEST_CONFLICT:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(
"FORWARD_RESULT_FLAG used while also requesting a result");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_ACTIVITY:
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"PendingIntent is not an activity");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_VOICE_COMPATIBLE:
throw new SecurityException(
"Starting under voice control not allowed for: " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_NOT_ACTIVE_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Session calling startVoiceActivity does not match active session");
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_HIDDEN_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Cannot start voice activity on a hidden session");
case ActivityManager.START_ASSISTANT_NOT_ACTIVE_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Session calling startAssistantActivity does not match active session");
case ActivityManager.START_ASSISTANT_HIDDEN_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Cannot start assistant activity on a hidden session");
case ActivityManager.START_CANCELED:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Activity could not be started for "
+ intent);
default:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Unknown error code "
+ res + " when starting " + intent);
}
}这是用来检查Activity启动的结果。如果发生了严重的错误，就会抛出相应的异常。
我们可以看到have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
如果Activity没在Manifest中注册，就会抛出这个错误。
Activity的管理---ATMS
Activity启动跨进程(IPC)转移到系统进程提供的服务ATMS中，那么我们接着看ATMS的startActivity。
@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 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,

}
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("startActivityAsUser");
userId = getActivityStartController().checkTargetUser(userId, validateIncomingUser,
Binder.getCallingPid(), Binder.getCallingUid(), "startActivityAsUser");
// TODO: Switch to user app stacks here.
return getActivityStartController().obtainStarter(intent, "startActivityAsUser")
.setCaller(caller)
.setCallingPackage(callingPackage)
.setResolvedType(resolvedType)
.setResultTo(resultTo)
.setResultWho(resultWho)
.setRequestCode(requestCode)
.setStartFlags(startFlags)
.setProfilerInfo(profilerInfo)
.setActivityOptions(bOptions)
.setMayWait(userId)
.execute();
}我们一路跟到startActivityAsUser方法中，发现是通过getActivityStartController().obtainStarter方法获取ActivityStarter实例，并且然后调用一系列方法，最后调用execute()方法开始启动activity。
/**
* Starts an activity based on the request parameters provided earlier.
* @return The starter result.
*/
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.realCallingPid, mRequest.realCallingUid,
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,
mRequest.originatingPendingIntent, mRequest.allowBackgroundActivityStart);
} 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,
mRequest.originatingPendingIntent, mRequest.allowBackgroundActivityStart);
}
} finally {
onExecutionComplete();
}

}我们发现其中有这样一行代码：
mRootActivityContainer.resumeFocusedStacksTopActivities(
mTargetStack, mStartActivity, mOptions);
也就是说调用了RootActivityContainer的resumeFocusedStacksTopActivities方法，接着调用了ActivityStack的resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked方法：
boolean resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked(ActivityRecord prev, ActivityOptions options) {
if (mInResumeTopActivity) {
// Don't even start recursing.
return false;
}
boolean result = false;
try {
// Protect against recursion.
mInResumeTopActivity = true;
result = resumeTopActivityInnerLocked(prev, options);
// When resuming the top activity, it may be necessary to pause the top activity (for
// example, returning to the lock screen. We suppress the normal pause logic in
// {@link #resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked}, since the top activity is resumed at the
// end. We call the {@link ActivityStackSupervisor#checkReadyForSleepLocked} again here
// to ensure any necessary pause logic occurs. In the case where the Activity will be
// shown regardless of the lock screen, the call to
// {@link ActivityStackSupervisor#checkReadyForSleepLocked} is skipped.
final ActivityRecord next = topRunningActivity(true /* focusableOnly */);
if (next == null || !next.canTurnScreenOn()) {
checkReadyForSleep();
}
} finally {
mInResumeTopActivity = false;
}
return result;
}接着跟进resumeTopActivityInnerLocked方法，我们来看看里面一些关键性代码：
...
boolean pausing = taskDisplayArea.pauseBackStacks(userLeaving, next);
if (mResumedActivity != null) {
if (DEBUG_STATES) Slog.d(TAG_STATES,
"resumeTopActivityLocked: Pausing " + mResumedActivity);
//暂停上一个Activity
pausing |= startPausingLocked(userLeaving, false /* uiSleeping */, next);
}
...
//这里next.attachedToProcess()，只有启动了的Activity才会返回true
if (next.attachedToProcess()) {
...
try {
final ClientTransaction transaction =
ClientTransaction.obtain(next.app.getThread(), next.appToken);
...
//启动了的Activity就发送ResumeActivityItem事务给客户端了，后面会讲到
transaction.setLifecycleStateRequest(
ResumeActivityItem.obtain(next.app.getReportedProcState(),
getDisplay().mDisplayContent.isNextTransitionForward()));
mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction(transaction);
....
} catch (Exception e) {
....
mStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked(next, true, false);
return true;
}
....
} else {
....
if (SHOW_APP_STARTING_PREVIEW) {
//这里就是 冷启动时 出现白屏 的原因了：取根activity的主题背景 展示StartingWindow
next.showStartingWindow(null , false ,false);
}
// 继续当前Activity，普通activity的正常启动 关注这里即可
mStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked(next, true, true);
}
return true;通过源码，我们可以得知：先对上一个Activity执行pause操作，再执行当前成绩操作，最终进入到了ActivityStackSupervior.startSpecificActivityLocked方法中。在启动Activity之前，调用了next.showStartingWindow方法来展示一个window，这就是冷启动时出现白屏的原因。我们继续看ActivityStackSupervior.startSpecificActivityLocked方法。

}注意看，其中的一个判断：if(wpc != null && wpc.hasThread())，也就是说判断是否启动了应用进程，内部是通过IApplicationThread是否为空来判断。接着看其中调用的realStartActivityLocked方法：

}代码中，通过ClientTransaction.obtain(proc.getThread(), r.appToken) 获取了clientTransaction，其中参数proc.getThread()是IApplicationThread在系统进程的代理。
ClientTransaction是包含一系列的待客户端处理的事务的容器，客户端接收后取出事务并执行。
接着看，使用clientTransaction.addCallback添加了LaunchActivityItem实例。我们来看看LaunchActivityItem实例是怎么获取的？
/** Obtain an instance initialized with provided params. */
public static LaunchActivityItem obtain(Intent intent, int ident, ActivityInfo info,
Configuration curConfig, Configuration overrideConfig, CompatibilityInfo compatInfo,
String referrer, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor, int procState, Bundle state,
PersistableBundle persistentState, List<ResultInfo> pendingResults,
List<ReferrerIntent> pendingNewIntents, boolean isForward, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo,
IBinder assistToken) {
LaunchActivityItem instance = ObjectPool.obtain(LaunchActivityItem.class);
if (instance == null) {
instance = new LaunchActivityItem();
}
setValues(instance, intent, ident, info, curConfig, overrideConfig, compatInfo, referrer,
voiceInteractor, procState, state, persistentState, pendingResults,
pendingNewIntents, isForward, profilerInfo, assistToken);
return instance;
}new了一个LaunchActivityItem之后，然后设置了一堆值。我们再回到realStartActivityLocked方法，接着调用了mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction(clientTransaction)，mService是ActivityTaskManagerService，getLifecycleManager()方法获取的是ClientLifecycleManager实例，它的scheduleTransaction方法如下：
void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) throws RemoteException {
final IApplicationThread client = transaction.getClient();
transaction.schedule();
if (!(client instanceof Binder)) {
// If client is not an instance of Binder - it's a remote call and at this point it is
// safe to recycle the object. All objects used for local calls will be recycled after
// the transaction is executed on client in ActivityThread.
transaction.recycle();
}
}就是调用ClientTransaction的schedule方法：
public void schedule() throws RemoteException {
mClient.scheduleTransaction(this);
}其实也就是调用了IApplicationThread的scheduleTransaction方法。我们知道IApplicationThread是ApplicationThread在系统进程的代理，所以真正执行的地方就是客户端的ApplicationThread中了。换句话说，Activity启动的操作又跨进程的还给了客户端。
梳理下：启动Activity的操作从客户端跨进程转移到ATMS，ATMS通过ActivityStarter、ActivityStack、ActivityStackSupervisor对Activity任务、activity栈、Activity记录管理后，又通过跨进程把正在启动过程转移到了客户端。
线程切换以及消息处理
我们看ApplicationThread的scheduleTransaction方法：
@Override
public void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) throws RemoteException {
ActivityThread.this.scheduleTransaction(transaction);
}我们再看ActivityThread的scheduleTransaction方法，其实这个是在其父类ClientTransactionHandler当中：
/** Prepare and schedule transaction for execution. */
void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) {
transaction.preExecute(this);
sendMessage(ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION, transaction);
}好的，我们注意看，有一个sendMessage，毫无疑问，这个是用来发送消息的，参数是ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION和transaction，接着看：
void sendMessage(int what, Object obj) {
sendMessage(what, obj, 0, 0, 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);
}（注意，这一块的代码又回到ActivityThread中了）
最后调用了mH.sendMessage(msg)，那么mH是什么？我们看下：
我们在ActivityThread的源码中看到mH的定义在这里：
final H mH = new H();而H又是什么呢？继续看源码：

}H是定义在ActivityThread中的一个内部类，并且H继承自Handler。mH是在创建ActivityThread实例时赋值的，也就是在ActivityThread的main方法中，并且初始化是已经主线程已经有了mainLooper，所以，使用这个mH来sendMessage就把消息发送到了主线程。
我们再来看看ApplicationThread的scheduleTransaction方法是执行在哪个线程中。我们知道服务器的Binder方法运行在Binder的线程池中，也就是说系统进行跨进程调用ApplicationThread的scheduleTransaction，也就是说ApplicationThread的scheduleTransaction是执行在Binder的线程池中。
我们再来看是怎么处理Activity的启动的。我们找到ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION这个消息的处理，就是在handleMessage方法的倒数第三个case，我们可以发现是取出ClientTransaction实例，再调用TransactionExecutor的execute方法：
public void execute(ClientTransaction transaction) {
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Start resolving transaction");
final IBinder token = transaction.getActivityToken();
if (token != null) {
final Map<IBinder, ClientTransactionItem> activitiesToBeDestroyed =
mTransactionHandler.getActivitiesToBeDestroyed();
final ClientTransactionItem destroyItem = activitiesToBeDestroyed.get(token);
if (destroyItem != null) {
if (transaction.getLifecycleStateRequest() == destroyItem) {
// It is going to execute the transaction that will destroy activity with the
// token, so the corresponding to-be-destroyed record can be removed.
activitiesToBeDestroyed.remove(token);
}
if (mTransactionHandler.getActivityClient(token) == null) {
// The activity has not been created but has been requested to destroy, so all
// transactions for the token are just like being cancelled.
Slog.w(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Skip pre-destroyed transaction:\n"
+ transactionToString(transaction, mTransactionHandler));
return;
}
}
}
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, transactionToString(transaction, mTransactionHandler));
executeCallbacks(transaction);
executeLifecycleState(transaction);
mPendingActions.clear();
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "End resolving transaction");
}继续跟进executeCallbacks方法：
/** Cycle through all states requested by callbacks and execute them at proper times. */
@VisibleForTesting
public void executeCallbacks(ClientTransaction transaction) {
final List<ClientTransactionItem> callbacks = transaction.getCallbacks();
if (callbacks == null || callbacks.isEmpty()) {
// No callbacks to execute, return early.
return;
}
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Resolving callbacks in transaction");
final IBinder token = transaction.getActivityToken();
ActivityClientRecord r = mTransactionHandler.getActivityClient(token);
// In case when post-execution state of the last callback matches the final state requested
// for the activity in this transaction, we won't do the last transition here and do it when
// moving to final state instead (because it may contain additional parameters from server).
final ActivityLifecycleItem finalStateRequest = transaction.getLifecycleStateRequest();
final int finalState = finalStateRequest != null ? finalStateRequest.getTargetState()
: UNDEFINED;
// Index of the last callback that requests some post-execution state.
final int lastCallbackRequestingState = lastCallbackRequestingState(transaction);
final int size = callbacks.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
final ClientTransactionItem item = callbacks.get(i);
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Resolving callback: " + item);
final int postExecutionState = item.getPostExecutionState();
final int closestPreExecutionState = mHelper.getClosestPreExecutionState(r,
item.getPostExecutionState());
if (closestPreExecutionState != UNDEFINED) {
cycleToPath(r, closestPreExecutionState, transaction);
}
item.execute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
item.postExecute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
if (r == null) {
// Launch activity request will create an activity record.
r = mTransactionHandler.getActivityClient(token);
}
if (postExecutionState != UNDEFINED && r != null) {
// Skip the very last transition and perform it by explicit state request instead.
final boolean shouldExcludeLastTransition =
i == lastCallbackRequestingState && finalState == postExecutionState;
cycleToPath(r, postExecutionState, shouldExcludeLastTransition, transaction);
}
}
}通过源码，我们可以发现是：遍历callbacks，调用ClientTransactionItem的execute方法，而我们这里要关注的是ClientTransactionItem的子类LaunchActivityItem，我们看下它的execute方法：
@Override
public void execute(ClientTransactionHandler client, IBinder token,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
Trace.traceBegin(TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "activityStart");
ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord(token, mIntent, mIdent, mInfo,
mOverrideConfig, mCompatInfo, mReferrer, mVoiceInteractor, mState, mPersistentState,
mPendingResults, mPendingNewIntents, mIsForward,
mProfilerInfo, client, mAssistToken);
client.handleLaunchActivity(r, pendingActions, null /* customIntent */);
Trace.traceEnd(TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
}注意看，其中有一行代码：client.handleLaunchActivity(r, pendingActions, null /* customIntent */);
client是ClientTransactionHandler的实例，是在TransactionExecutor构造方法传入的，TransactionExecutor创建是在ActivityThread中：
private final TransactionExecutor mTransactionExecutor = new TransactionExecutor(this);
所以，client.handleLaunchActivity方法就是ActivityThread的handleLaunchActivity方法。
OK,到此为止，ApplicationThread把启动Activity的操作，通过mH切到了主线程，走到了ActivityThread的handleLaunchActivity方法。
Activity启动的核心实现---初始化以及生命周期
我们接着看handleLaunchActivity方法，其中有一段关键代码：
final Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);继续跟performLaunchActivity方法，这里就是activity启动的核心实现了：
/** Core implementation of activity launch. */
private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo;
if (r.packageInfo == null) {
r.packageInfo = getPackageInfo(aInfo.applicationInfo, r.compatInfo,
Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE);
}
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);
}
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 {
Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Performing launch of " + r);
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
TAG, r + ": app=" + app
+ ", appName=" + app.getPackageName()
+ ", pkg=" + r.packageInfo.getPackageName()
+ ", comp=" + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString()
+ ", dir=" + r.packageInfo.getAppDir());
if (activity != null) {
CharSequence title = r.activityInfo.loadLabel(appContext.getPackageManager());
Configuration config = new Configuration(mCompatConfiguration);
if (r.overrideConfig != null) {
config.updateFrom(r.overrideConfig);
}
if (DEBUG_CONFIGURATION) Slog.v(TAG, "Launching activity "
+ r.activityInfo.name + " with config " + config);
Window window = null;
if (r.mPendingRemoveWindow != null && r.mPreserveWindow) {
window = r.mPendingRemoveWindow;
r.mPendingRemoveWindow = null;
r.mPendingRemoveWindowManager = null;
}
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,
r.assistToken);
if (customIntent != null) {
activity.mIntent = customIntent;
}
r.lastNonConfigurationInstances = null;
checkAndBlockForNetworkAccess();
activity.mStartedActivity = false;
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);
// updatePendingActivityConfiguration() reads from mActivities to update
// ActivityClientRecord which runs in a different thread. Protect modifications to
// mActivities to avoid race.
synchronized (mResourcesManager) {
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;
}performLaunchActivity主要完成了以下事情：
- 从ActivityClientRecord获取待启动的Activity的组件信息
- 通过mInstrumentation.newActivity方法使用类加载器创建activity实例
- 通过LoadedApk的makeApplication方法创建Application对象，内部也是通过mInstrumentation使用类加载器，创建后就调用了instrumentation.callApplicationOnCreate方法，也就是Application的onCreate方法。
- 创建ContextImpl对象并通过activity.attach方法对重要数据初始化，关联了Context的具体实现ContextImpl，attach方法内部还完成了window创建，这样Window接收到外部事件后就能传递给Activity了。
- 调用Activity的onCreate方法，是通过mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate方法完成。
我们已经分析到LaunchActivityItem，是用来启动activity的，也就是走到activity的onCreate，那么对应的还有：
- ResumeActivityItem 远程APP端的onResume生命周期事务
- PauseActivityItem 远程APP端的onPause生命周期事务
- StopActivityItem 远程APP端的onStop生命周期事务
- DestroyActivityItem 远程APP端onDestroy生命周期事务
一些整理
| ActivityThread | 应用的入口类，系统通过调用main函数，开启消息循环队列。 |
| ApplicationThread | 这个是ActivityThread的内部类，继承自IApplicationThread.Stub，是一个IBinder，是ActivityThread和AMS通信的桥梁。 |
| H | 是ActivityThread的内部类，继承自Handler。 |
| Instrumentation | 具有跟踪application以及activity生命周期的功能，用户监控app和系统的交互。 |
| ActivityManagerService | Android中最核心的服务之一，负责系统中四大组件的启动、切换、调度及应用进程的管理和调度等工作，其职责与操作系统中的进程管理和调度模块相类似。它在Android中非常重要。 |
| ActivityTaskManagerService | 管理activity及其容器（任务、堆栈等等）的系统服务（Android 10中新增，分担了AMS的部分职责）。 |
| ActivityStarter | 用于解释如何启动活动。该类收集所有逻辑，用于确定Intent和flag应如何转换活动以及相关的任务和堆栈。 |
| ActivityStack | 用来管理系统所有的Activity，内部维护了Activity的所有状态和Activity相关的列表等数据。 |
| ActivityStackSupervisor | 负责所有Activity栈的管理。AMS的stack管理主要有三个类：ActivityStackSupervisor、ActivityStack、TaskRecord。 |
| ClientLifecycleManager | 客户端生命周期执行请求管理。 |
| ClientTransaction | 是包含一系列的待客户端处理的事务的容器，客户端接收后取出事务并执行。 |
| LaunchActivityItem、ResumeActivityItem、 PauseActivityItem、 StopActivityItem、 DestroyActivityItem |
它们的基类都是ClientTransactionItem，分别对应Activity生命周期的各个阶段。 |
总结
至此，我们就对一个普通Activity启动的流程完成了解析了。总结下大致分为几个阶段：
启动的发起、AMS的管理，线程切换以及消息传递、启动核心实现。
