First, let's take a look at the flowchart:
Click event in Activity is actually triggering touch event, dispatchTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev) will be called, let’s take a look at the source code of Activity:
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
onUserInteraction();
}
if (getWindow().superDispatchTouchEvent(ev)) {
return true;
}
return onTouchEvent(ev);
}Here getWindow().superDispatchTouchEvent(ev) is actually the superDispatchTouchEvent method of PhoneWindow:
@Override
public boolean superDispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
return mDecor.superDispatchTouchEvent(event);
}Directly find mDecor.superDispatchTouchEvent(event), so let’s click in and take a look at DecorView:
public boolean superDispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
}Then click super.dispatchTouchEvent(event) to enter ViewGroup to see:
@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
if (mInputEventConsistencyVerifier != null) {
mInputEventConsistencyVerifier.onTouchEvent(ev, 1);
}
// If the event targets the accessibility focused view and this is it, start
// normal event dispatch. Maybe a descendant is what will handle the click.
if (ev.isTargetAccessibilityFocus() && isAccessibilityFocusedViewOrHost()) {
ev.setTargetAccessibilityFocus(false);
}
boolean handled = false;
if (onFilterTouchEventForSecurity(ev)) {
final int action = ev.getAction();
final int actionMasked = action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK;
// Handle an initial down.
if (actionMasked == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
// Throw away all previous state when starting a new touch gesture.
// The framework may have dropped the up or cancel event for the previous gesture
// due to an app switch, ANR, or some other state change.
cancelAndClearTouchTargets(ev);
resetTouchState();
}
// Check for interception.
final boolean intercepted;
if (actionMasked == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN
|| mFirstTouchTarget != null) {
final boolean disallowIntercept = (mGroupFlags & FLAG_DISALLOW_INTERCEPT) != 0;
if (!disallowIntercept) {

ev.setAction(action); // restore action in case it was changed
} else {

}
} else {
// There are no touch targets and this action is not an initial down
// so this view group continues to intercept touches.
intercepted = true;
}
// If intercepted, start normal event dispatch. Also if there is already
// a view that is handling the gesture, do normal event dispatch.
if (intercepted || mFirstTouchTarget != null) {

// We are looking up the accessibility focused host to avoid keeping
// state since these events are very rare.

}childView process
The code is too long, we will pick the main code to talk about:
final boolean intercepted;
if(actionMasked==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN||mFirstTouchTarget!=null){
final boolean disallowIntercept=(mGroupFlags&FLAG_DISALLOW_INTERCEPT)!=0;
if(!disallowIntercept){
intercepted=onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
ev.setAction(action); // restore action in case it was changed
}else{
intercepted=false;
}
}else{
// There are no touch targets and this action is not an initial down
// so this view group continues to intercept touches.
intercepted=true;
}The mFirstTouchTarget here has not yet been assigned a value of null, so actionMasked==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN is the step where the click event is pressed. The default mGroupFlags=0, so disallowIntercept is false and the execution onInterceptTouchEvent(ev) is also false by default. This method sets the return value by itself. Next, let’s look at the code in the if (!canceled && !intercepted) statement, and look down for if (dispatchTransformedTouchEvent(ev, false, child, idBitsToAssign)) to see that this is the dispatch child view Touch event:
private boolean dispatchTransformedTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, boolean cancel,
View child, int desiredPointerIdBits) {
final boolean handled;
// Canceling motions is a special case. We don't need to perform any transformations
// or filtering. The important part is the action, not the contents.
final int oldAction = event.getAction();
if (cancel || oldAction == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL) {
event.setAction(MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL);
if (child == null) {
handled = super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
} else {
handled = child.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
}
event.setAction(oldAction);
return handled;
}
// Calculate the number of pointers to deliver.
final int oldPointerIdBits = event.getPointerIdBits();
final int newPointerIdBits = oldPointerIdBits & desiredPointerIdBits;
// If for some reason we ended up in an inconsistent state where it looks like we
// might produce a motion event with no pointers in it, then drop the event.
if (newPointerIdBits == 0) {
return false;
}
// If the number of pointers is the same and we don't need to perform any fancy
// irreversible transformations, then we can reuse the motion event for this
// dispatch as long as we are careful to revert any changes we make.
// Otherwise we need to make a copy.
final MotionEvent transformedEvent;
if (newPointerIdBits == oldPointerIdBits) {
if (child == null || child.hasIdentityMatrix()) {
if (child == null) {
handled = super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
} else {
final float offsetX = mScrollX - child.mLeft;
final float offsetY = mScrollY - child.mTop;
event.offsetLocation(offsetX, offsetY);
handled = child.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
event.offsetLocation(-offsetX, -offsetY);
}
return handled;
}
transformedEvent = MotionEvent.obtain(event);
} else {
transformedEvent = event.split(newPointerIdBits);
}
// Perform any necessary transformations and dispatch.
if (child == null) {
handled = super.dispatchTouchEvent(transformedEvent);
} else {
final float offsetX = mScrollX - child.mLeft;
final float offsetY = mScrollY - child.mTop;
transformedEvent.offsetLocation(offsetX, offsetY);
if (! child.hasIdentityMatrix()) {
transformedEvent.transform(child.getInverseMatrix());
}
handled = child.dispatchTouchEvent(transformedEvent);
}
// Done.
transformedEvent.recycle();
return handled;
}Let's look at the longer code:
if (child == null) {
handled = super.dispatchTouchEvent(transformedEvent);
} else {
final float offsetX = mScrollX - child.mLeft;
final float offsetY = mScrollY - child.mTop;
transformedEvent.offsetLocation(offsetX, offsetY);
if (! child.hasIdentityMatrix()) {
transformedEvent.transform(child.getInverseMatrix());
}
handled = child.dispatchTouchEvent(transformedEvent);
}Here handled = child.dispatchTouchEvent(transformedEvent) has reached the touch event of VIew:
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// If the event should be handled by accessibility focus first.
if (event.isTargetAccessibilityFocus()) {
// We don't have focus or no virtual descendant has it, do not handle the event.
if (!isAccessibilityFocusedViewOrHost()) {
return false;
}
// We have focus and got the event, then use normal event dispatch.
event.setTargetAccessibilityFocus(false);
}
boolean result = false;
if (mInputEventConsistencyVerifier != null) {
mInputEventConsistencyVerifier.onTouchEvent(event, 0);
}

}If it is longer, let’s find it directly:

}Here is the onTouchEvent event of View:

// This is a tap, so remove the longpress check
removeLongPressCallback();
// Only perform take click actions if we were in the pressed state
if (!focusTaken) {

return true;
}
return false;
}Note that the return value of the return here is determined by the clickable. This method is used for both the child view and the viewgroup, so the return value is determined by the clickable. Okay, it is such a long code. If we look for the main code, we will know that the click event completes the MotionEvent. ACTION_UP, let’s find it here:
if (mPerformClick == null) {
mPerformClick = new PerformClick();
}
if (!post(mPerformClick)) {
performClickInternal();
}Find PerformClick, let's click in and have a look:
private final class PerformClick implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
performClickInternal();
}
}Then look at performClickInternal:
private boolean performClickInternal() {
// Must notify autofill manager before performing the click actions to avoid scenarios where
// the app has a click listener that changes the state of views the autofill service might
// be interested on.
notifyAutofillManagerOnClick();
return performClick();
}
Then look at performClick():
public boolean performClick() {
// We still need to call this method to handle the cases where performClick() was called
// externally, instead of through performClickInternal()
notifyAutofillManagerOnClick();
final boolean result;
final ListenerInfo li = mListenerInfo;
if (li != null && li.mOnClickListener != null) {
playSoundEffect(SoundEffectConstants.CLICK);
li.mOnClickListener.onClick(this);
result = true;
} else {
result = false;
}
sendAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_CLICKED);
notifyEnterOrExitForAutoFillIfNeeded(true);
return result;
}Finally found the click event we were looking for li.mOnClickListener.onClick(this); This is the click object of our set, if you don’t believe me, I will show you the source code:
public void setOnClickListener(@Nullable OnClickListener l) {
if (!isClickable()) {
setClickable(true);
}
getListenerInfo().mOnClickListener = l;
}ViewGroup process
You're done, this is how the entire click process event of View comes from, let's take a look at how the click event of viewgroup comes:
if (mFirstTouchTarget == null) {
// No touch targets so treat this as an ordinary view.
handled = dispatchTransformedTouchEvent(ev, canceled, null,
TouchTarget.ALL_POINTER_IDS);
} That's right, this mFirstTouchTarget value is the identifier added for the child view. Let's go back and look at the previous child touch event to know:
if (dispatchTransformedTouchEvent(ev, false, child, idBitsToAssign)) {
// Child wants to receive touch within its bounds.
mLastTouchDownTime = ev.getDownTime();
if (preorderedList != null) {
// childIndex points into presorted list, find original index
for (int j = 0; j < childrenCount; j++) {
if (children[childIndex] == mChildren[j]) {
mLastTouchDownIndex = j;
break;
}
}
} else {
mLastTouchDownIndex = childIndex;
}
mLastTouchDownX = ev.getX();
mLastTouchDownY = ev.getY();
newTouchTarget = addTouchTarget(child, idBitsToAssign);
alreadyDispatchedToNewTouchTarget = true;
break;
}See newTouchTarget = addTouchTarget(child, idBitsToAssign); Without this, it is assigned to mFirstTouchTarget:
private TouchTarget addTouchTarget(@NonNull View child, int pointerIdBits) {
final TouchTarget target = TouchTarget.obtain(child, pointerIdBits);
target.next = mFirstTouchTarget;
mFirstTouchTarget = target;
return target;
}Seeing this, I believe you should understand why the VIewGroup cannot execute the click event when the childview of the VIewGroup has a click event set, and the click event mFirstTouchTarget of the childview is set to be assigned a value, otherwise the air conditioner dispatchTransformedTouchEvent(ev, canceled, null,
ouchTarget .ALL_POINTER_IDS);Is it familiar to see here? Yes, childview adjusts this method, except that the child parameter passes a null point to find it:
if (child == null) {
handled = super.dispatchTouchEvent(transformedEvent);
} Here comes back to the dispatchTouchEvent(transformedEvent) method of the above View. Because ViewGroup extends View, I won't explain the process followed by the view anymore. It's all over here.
