我们知道SystemServer进程是Zygote通过fork调用启动的，SystemServer进程的启动过程中会调用其main静态方法，开始执行整个SystemServer的启动流程，在其中通过调用三个内部方法分别启动boot service、core service和other service。在调用startOtherService方法中就会通过调用mActivityManagerService.systemReady()方法，而这个ActivityManagerService的systemReady函数就是启动Launcher的入口。
frameworks\base\services\java\com\android\server\SystemServer.java
private void startOtherServices() {
...
// We now tell the activity manager it is okay to run third party
// code. It will call back into us once it has gotten to the state
// where third party code can really run (but before it has actually
// started launching the initial applications), for us to complete our
// initialization.
mActivityManagerService.systemReady(() -> {
Slog.i(TAG, "Making services ready");
traceBeginAndSlog("StartActivityManagerReadyPhase");
mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(
SystemService.PHASE_ACTIVITY_MANAGER_READY);
traceEnd();
traceBeginAndSlog("StartObservingNativeCrashes");
try {
mActivityManagerService.startObservingNativeCrashes();
} catch (Throwable e) {
reportWtf("observing native crashes", e);
}
traceEnd();
...
}ActivityManagerService.systemReady()函数中将调用startHomeActivityLocked()方法
frameworks\base\services\core\java\com\android\server\am\ActivityManagerService.java
public void systemReady(final Runnable goingCallback, TimingsTraceLog traceLog) {
......
// Start up initial activity.
mBooting = true;
// Enable home activity for system user, so that the system can always boot. We don't
// do this when the system user is not setup since the setup wizard should be the one
// to handle home activity in this case.
if (UserManager.isSplitSystemUser() &&
Settings.Secure.getInt(mContext.getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.USER_SETUP_COMPLETE, 0) != 0) {
ComponentName cName = new ComponentName(mContext, SystemUserHomeActivity.class);
try {
AppGlobals.getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(cName,
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, 0,
UserHandle.USER_SYSTEM);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw e.rethrowAsRuntimeException();
}
}
startHomeActivityLocked(currentUserId, "systemReady");
......
}startHomeActivityLocked()的实现如下：
frameworks\base\services\core\java\com\android\server\am\ActivityManagerService.java
boolean startHomeActivityLocked(int userId, String reason) {
if (mFactoryTest == FactoryTest.FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL
&& mTopAction == null) {
// We are running in factory test mode, but unable to find
// the factory test app, so just sit around displaying the
// error message and don't try to start anything.
return false;
}
Intent intent = getHomeIntent();
ActivityInfo aInfo = resolveActivityInfo(intent, STOCK_PM_FLAGS, userId);
if (aInfo != null) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(aInfo.applicationInfo.packageName, aInfo.name));
// Don't do this if the home app is currently being
// instrumented.
aInfo = new ActivityInfo(aInfo);
aInfo.applicationInfo = getAppInfoForUser(aInfo.applicationInfo, userId);
ProcessRecord app = getProcessRecordLocked(aInfo.processName,
aInfo.applicationInfo.uid, true);
if (app == null || app.instr == null) {
intent.setFlags(intent.getFlags() | FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
final int resolvedUserId = UserHandle.getUserId(aInfo.applicationInfo.uid);
// For ANR debugging to verify if the user activity is the one that actually
// launched.
final String myReason = reason + ":" + userId + ":" + resolvedUserId;
mActivityStartController.startHomeActivity(intent, aInfo, myReason);
}
} else {
Slog.wtf(TAG, "No home screen found for " + intent, new Throwable());
}
return true;
}其中getHomeIntent()和resolveActivityInfo()的作用就是找到系统配置的第一个Home应用。在getHomeIntent()方法中 mTopComponent=null, mTopAction=Intent.ACTION_MAIN, mTopData=null,这就使得resolveActivityInfo()方法直接进入else的有关逻辑。之后getHomeIntent()构建了一个Intent并给它加上了Intent.CATEGORY_HOME属性。它的具体的值是
public static final String CATEGORY_HOME = "android.intent.category.HOME";
Intent getHomeIntent() {
Intent intent = new Intent(mTopAction, mTopData != null ? Uri.parse(mTopData) : null);
intent.setComponent(mTopComponent);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_DEBUG_TRIAGED_MISSING);
if (mFactoryTest != FactoryTest.FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL) {
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
}
return intent;
} private ActivityInfo resolveActivityInfo(Intent intent, int flags, int userId) {
ActivityInfo ai = null;
ComponentName comp = intent.getComponent();
try {
if (comp != null) {
// Factory test.
ai = AppGlobals.getPackageManager().getActivityInfo(comp, flags, userId);
} else {
ResolveInfo info = AppGlobals.getPackageManager().resolveIntent(
intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(mContext.getContentResolver()),
flags, userId);
if (info != null) {
ai = info.activityInfo;
}
}
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// ignore
}
return ai;
}在这里我们看一下Launcher3应用的Manifest配置：
<activity
android:name="com.android.launcher3.Launcher"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
android:stateNotNeeded="true"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
android:screenOrientation="unspecified"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|mcc|mnc|navigation|orientation|screenSize|screenLayout|smallestScreenSize"
android:resizeableActivity="true"
android:resumeWhilePausing="true"
android:taskAffinity=""
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER_APP" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>在Manifest的配置中有<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />这个属性。一般来说系统都是只会有一个Home的应用程序，所以通过PackageManagerService就可以查询到Launcher3应用的信息(匹配查询的过程还是比较复杂的，以后再抽时间深入学习下)，以便进一步将其启动。
frameworks\base\services\core\java\com\android\server\am\ActivityStartController.java
void startHomeActivity(Intent intent, ActivityInfo aInfo, String reason) {
mSupervisor.moveHomeStackTaskToTop(reason);
mLastHomeActivityStartResult = obtainStarter(intent, "startHomeActivity: " + reason)
.setOutActivity(tmpOutRecord)
.setCallingUid(0)
.setActivityInfo(aInfo)
.execute();
mLastHomeActivityStartRecord = tmpOutRecord[0];
if (mSupervisor.inResumeTopActivity) {
// If we are in resume section already, home activity will be initialized, but not
// resumed (to avoid recursive resume) and will stay that way until something pokes it
// again. We need to schedule another resume.
mSupervisor.scheduleResumeTopActivities();
}
}可以看到ActivityStartContriller是通过obtainStarter().execute()来启动Launcher的主activity的，而obtainStarter()返回的就是ActivityStarter对象。
frameworks\base\services\core\java\com\android\server\am\ActivityStarter.java
/**
* 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.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);
} 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);
}
} finally {
onExecutionComplete();
}
}到了这一步的话相信很多人都清楚以下的逻辑了，通过ActivityStarter进一步执行Activity的启动流程。在Activity的启动流程源码分析的那篇文章已经讲过接下来的流程，不懂的可以去看下。
