Android四大组件与进程启动的关系

Posted by Gityuan on October 9, 2016

一. 概述

Android系统将进程做得很友好的封装,对于上层app开发者来说进程几乎是透明的. 了解Android的朋友,一定知道Android四大组件,但对于进程可能会相对较陌生. 一个进程里面可以跑多个app, 一个app也可以跑在多个进程里,通过配置Android:process属性来决定所运行在哪个进程。

再进一步进程是如何创建的, 可能很多人不知道fork的存在. 在我的文章理解Android进程创建流程 集中一点详细介绍了Process.start的过程是如何一步步创建进程.

进程承载着整个系统,”进程之于Android犹如水之于鱼”, 进程对于Android系统非常重要, 对于android来说承载着Android四大组件,承载着系统的正常运转. 本文则跟大家聊一聊进程的,是从另个角度来全局性讲解android进程启动全过程所涉及的根脉, 先来看看AMS.startProcessLocked方法.

二. 四大组件与进程

2.1 四大组件

Activity, Service, ContentProvider, BroadcastReceiver这四大组件,在启动的过程,当其所承载的进程不存在时需要调用startProcessLocked先创建进程

component_process

2.1.1 Activity

启动Activity过程: 调用startActivity,该方法经过层层调用,最终会调用ActivityStackSupervisor.java中的startSpecificActivityLocked,当activity所属进程还没启动的情况下,则需要创建相应的进程.更多关于Activity, 见startActivity启动过程分析

[-> ActivityStackSupervisor.java]

void startSpecificActivityLocked(...) {
    ProcessRecord app = mService.getProcessRecordLocked(r.processName,
            r.info.applicationInfo.uid, true);
    if (app != null && app.thread != null) {
        ...  //进程已创建的case
        return
    }
    mService.startProcessLocked(r.processName, r.info.applicationInfo, true, 0,
                "activity", r.intent.getComponent(), false, false, true);
}

2.1.2 Service

启动服务过程: 调用startService,该方法经过层层调用,最终会调用ActiveServices.java中的bringUpServiceLocked,当Service进程没有启动的情况(app==null), 则需要创建相应的进程. 更多关于Service, 见startService启动过程分析

[-> ActiveServices.java]

private final String bringUpServiceLocked(...){
    ...
    ProcessRecord app = mAm.getProcessRecordLocked(procName, r.appInfo.uid, false);
    if (app == null) {
        if ((app=mAm.startProcessLocked(procName, r.appInfo, true, intentFlags,
                "service", r.name, false, isolated, false)) == null) {
            ...
        }
    }
    ...
}

2.1.3 ContentProvider

ContentProvider处理过程: 调用ContentResolver.query该方法经过层层调用, 最终会调用到AMS.java中的getContentProviderImpl,当ContentProvider所对应进程不存在,则需要创建新进程. 更多关于ContentProvider,见理解ContentProvider原理(一)

[-> AMS.java]

private final ContentProviderHolder getContentProviderImpl(...) {
    ...
    ProcessRecord proc = getProcessRecordLocked(cpi.processName, cpr.appInfo.uid, false);
    if (proc != null && proc.thread != null) {
        ...  //进程已创建的case
    } else {
        proc = startProcessLocked(cpi.processName,
                    cpr.appInfo, false, 0, "content provider",
                    new ComponentName(cpi.applicationInfo.packageName,cpi.name),
                    false, false, false);
    }
    ...
}

2.1.4 Broadcast

广播处理过程: 调用sendBroadcast,该方法经过层层调用, 最终会调用到BroadcastQueue.java中的processNextBroadcast,当BroadcastReceiver所对应的进程尚未启动,则创建相应进程. 更多关于broadcast, 见Android Broadcast广播机制分析.

[-> BroadcastQueue.java]

final void processNextBroadcast(boolean fromMsg) {
    ...
    ProcessRecord app = mService.getProcessRecordLocked(targetProcess,
        info.activityInfo.applicationInfo.uid, false);
    if (app != null && app.thread != null) {
        ...  //进程已创建的case
        return
    }

    if ((r.curApp=mService.startProcessLocked(targetProcess,
            info.activityInfo.applicationInfo, true,
            r.intent.getFlags() | Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND,
            "broadcast", r.curComponent,
            (r.intent.getFlags()&Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_BOOT_UPGRADE) != 0, false, false))
                    == null) {
        ...
    }
    ...
}

2.2 进程启动

ActivityManagerService.java关于启动进程有4个同名不同参数的重载方法StartProcessLocked, 为了便于说明,以下4个方法依次记为1(a),1(b), 2(a), 2(b) :

//方法 1(a)
final ProcessRecord startProcessLocked(
    String processName, ApplicationInfo info, boolean knownToBeDead,
    int intentFlags, String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName,
    boolean allowWhileBooting, boolean isolated, boolean keepIfLarge)

//方法 1(b)
final ProcessRecord startProcessLocked(
    String processName, ApplicationInfo info, boolean knownToBeDead,
    int intentFlags, String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName,
    boolean allowWhileBooting, boolean isolated, int isolatedUid,
    boolean keepIfLarge, String abiOverride, String entryPoint,
    String[] entryPointArgs, Runnable crashHandler)

//方法 2(a)
private final void startProcessLocked(
    ProcessRecord app, String hostingType, String hostingNameStr)

//方法 2(b)
private final void startProcessLocked(
    ProcessRecord app, String hostingType, String hostingNameStr,
    String abiOverride, String entryPoint, String[] entryPointArgs)

1(a) ==> 1(b): 方法1(a)将isolatedUid=0,其他参数赋值为null,再调用给1(b)

final ProcessRecord startProcessLocked(String processName,
        ApplicationInfo info, boolean knownToBeDead, int intentFlags,
        String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName, boolean allowWhileBooting,
        boolean isolated, boolean keepIfLarge) {
    return startProcessLocked(processName, info, knownToBeDead, intentFlags, hostingType,
            hostingName, allowWhileBooting, isolated, 0 /* isolatedUid */, keepIfLarge,
            null /* ABI override */, null /* entryPoint */, null /* entryPointArgs */,
            null /* crashHandler */);进程名至少要有2个字符 **2(a) ==> 2(b):** 方法2(a)将其他3个参数abiOverride,entryPoint, entryPointArgs赋值为null,再调用给2(b)

private final void startProcessLocked(ProcessRecord app,
        String hostingType, String hostingNameStr) {
    startProcessLocked(app, hostingType, hostingNameStr, null /* abiOverride */,
            null /* entryPoint */, null /* entryPointArgs */);
}

小结:

  • 1(a),1(b)的第一个参数为String类型的进程名processName,
  • 2(a), 2(b)的第一个参数为ProcessRecord类型进程记录信息ProcessRecord;
  • 1系列的方法最终调用到2系列的方法;

四大组件所在应用首次启动时, 调用startProcessLocked方法1(a),之后再调用流程: 1(a) => 1(b) ==> 2(b).

2.3 启动时机

刚解说了4大组件与进程创建的调用方法,那么接下来再来说说进程创建的触发时机有哪些?如下:

  • 单进程App:对于这种情况,那么app首次启动某个组件时,比如通过调用startActivity来启动某个app,则先会触发创建该app进程,然后再启动该Activity。此时该app进程已创建,那么后续再该app中内部启动同一个activity或者其他组件,则都不会再创建新进程(除非该app进程被系统所杀掉)。
  • 多进程App: 对于这种情况,那么每个配置过android:process属性的组件的首次启动,则都分别需要创建进程。再次启动同一个activity,其则都不会再创建新进程(除非该app进程被系统所杀掉),但如果启动的是其他组件,则还需要再次判断其所对应的进程是否存在。

大多数情况下,app都是单进程架构,对于多进程架构的app一般是通过在AndroidManifest.xml中android:process属性来实现的。

  • 当android:process属性值以”:”开头,则代表该进程是私有的,只有该app可以使用,其他应用无法访问;
  • 当android:process属性值不以”:“开头,则代表的是全局型进程,但这种情况需要注意的是进程名必须至少包含“.”字符。

接下来,看看PackageParser.java来解析AndroidManiefst.xml过程就明白进程名的命名要求:

public class PackageParser {
    ...
    private static String buildCompoundName(String pkg,
       CharSequence procSeq, String type, String[] outError) {
        String proc = procSeq.toString();
        char c = proc.charAt(0);
        if (pkg != null && c == ':') {
           if (proc.length() < 2) {
               //进程名至少要有2个字符
               return null;
           }
           String subName = proc.substring(1);
           //此时并不要求强求 字符'.'作为分割符号
           String nameError = validateName(subName, false, false);
           if (nameError != null) {
               return null;
           }
           return (pkg + proc).intern();
        }
        //此时必须字符'.'作为分割符号
        String nameError = validateName(proc, true, false);
        if (nameError != null && !"system".equals(proc)) {
           return null;
        }
        return proc.intern();
    }

    private static String validateName(String name, boolean requireSeparator,
    boolean requireFilename) {
        final int N = name.length();
        boolean hasSep = false;
        boolean front = true;
        for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
            final char c = name.charAt(i);
            if ((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z')) {
                front = false;
                continue;
            }
            if (!front) {
                if ((c >= '0' && c <= '9') || c == '_') {
                    continue;
                }
            }
            //字符'.'作为分割符号
            if (c == '.') {
                hasSep = true;
                front = true;
                continue;
            }
            return "bad character '" + c + "'";
        }
        if (requireFilename && !FileUtils.isValidExtFilename(name)) {
            return "Invalid filename";
        }
        return hasSep || !requireSeparator
                ? null : "must have at least one '.' separator";
    }
}

看完上面的源码.很显然对于android:process属性值不以”:“开头的进程名必须至少包含“.”字符。

2.4 小节

Activity, Service, ContentProvider, BroadcastReceiver这四大组件在启动时,当所承载的进程不存在时,包括多进程的情况,则都需要创建。

四大组件的进程创建方法:

组件 创建方法
Activity ASS.startSpecificActivityLocked()
Service ActiveServices.bringUpServiceLocked()
ContentProvider AMS.getContentProviderImpl()
Broadcast BroadcastQueue.processNextBroadcast()

进程的创建过程交由系统进程system_server来完成的.

app_process_ipc

简称:

  • ATP: ApplicationThreadProxy
  • AT: ApplicationThread (继承于ApplicationThreadNative)
  • AMP: ActivityManagerProxy
  • AMS: ActivityManagerService (继承于ActivityManagerNative)

图解:

  1. system_server进程中调用startProcessLocked方法,该方法最终通过socket方式,将需要创建新进程的消息告知Zygote进程,并阻塞等待Socket返回新创建进程的pid;
  2. Zygote进程接收到system_server发送过来的消息, 则通过fork的方法,将zygote自身进程复制生成新的进程,并将ActivityThread相关的资源加载到新进程app process,这个进程可能是用于承载activity等组件;
  3. 创建完新进程后fork返回两次, 在新进程app process向servicemanager查询system_server进程中binder服务端AMS,获取相对应的Client端,也就是AMP. 有了这一对binder c/s对, 那么app process便可以通过binder向跨进程system_server发送请求,即attachApplication()
  4. system_server进程接收到相应binder操作后,经过多次调用,利用ATP向app process发送binder请求, 即bindApplication.

system_server拥有ATP/AMS, 每一个新创建的进程都会有一个相应的AT/AMS,从而可以跨进程 进行相互通信. 这便是进程创建过程的完整生态链.

三. 进程启动全过程

前面刚已介绍四大组件的创建进程的过程是调用1(a) startProcessLocked方法,该方法会再调用1(b)方法. 接下来从该方法开始往下讲述.

3.1 AMS.startProcessLocked

final ProcessRecord startProcessLocked(String processName, ApplicationInfo info,
        boolean knownToBeDead, int intentFlags, String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName,
        boolean allowWhileBooting, boolean isolated, int isolatedUid, boolean keepIfLarge,
        String abiOverride, String entryPoint, String[] entryPointArgs, Runnable crashHandler) {
    long startTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
    ProcessRecord app;
    if (!isolated) {
        //根据进程名和uid检查相应的ProcessRecord
        app = getProcessRecordLocked(processName, info.uid, keepIfLarge);

        if ((intentFlags & Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND) != 0) {
            //如果当前处于后台进程,检查当前进程是否处于bad进程列表
            if (mBadProcesses.get(info.processName, info.uid) != null) {
                return null;
            }
        } else {
            //当用户明确地启动进程,则清空crash次数,以保证其不处于bad进程直到下次再弹出crash对话框。
            mProcessCrashTimes.remove(info.processName, info.uid);
            if (mBadProcesses.get(info.processName, info.uid) != null) {
                mBadProcesses.remove(info.processName, info.uid);
                if (app != null) {
                    app.bad = false;
                }
            }
        }
    } else {
        //对于孤立进程,无法再利用已存在的进程
        app = null;
    }

    //当存在ProcessRecord,且已分配pid(正在启动或者已经启动),
    // 且caller并不认为该进程已死亡或者没有thread对象attached到该进程.则不应该清理该进程
    if (app != null && app.pid > 0) {
        if (!knownToBeDead || app.thread == null) {
            //如果这是进程中新package,则添加到列表
            app.addPackage(info.packageName, info.versionCode, mProcessStats);
            return app;
        }
        //当ProcessRecord已经被attached到先前的一个进程,则杀死并清理该进程
        killProcessGroup(app.info.uid, app.pid);
        handleAppDiedLocked(app, true, true);
    }

    String hostingNameStr = hostingName != null? hostingName.flattenToShortString() : null;
    if (app == null) {
        // 创建新的Process Record对象
        app = newProcessRecordLocked(info, processName, isolated, isolatedUid);
        if (app == null) {
            return null;
        }
        app.crashHandler = crashHandler;
    } else {
        //如果这是进程中新package,则添加到列表
        app.addPackage(info.packageName, info.versionCode, mProcessStats);
    }
    //当系统未准备完毕,则将当前进程加入到mProcessesOnHold
    if (!mProcessesReady && !isAllowedWhileBooting(info) && !allowWhileBooting) {
        if (!mProcessesOnHold.contains(app)) {
            mProcessesOnHold.add(app);
        }
        return app;
    }
    // 启动进程【见小节3.2】
    startProcessLocked(app, hostingType, hostingNameStr, abiOverride, entryPoint, entryPointArgs);
    return (app.pid != 0) ? app : null;
}

主要功能:

  • 对于非isolated进程,则根据进程名和uid来查询相应的ProcessRecord结构体. 如果当前进程处于后台且当前进程处于mBadProcesses列表,则直接返回;否则清空crash次数,以保证其不处于bad进程直到下次再弹出crash对话框。
  • 当存在ProcessRecord,且已分配pid(正在启动或者已经启动)的情况下
    • 当caller并不认为该进程已死亡或者没有thread对象attached到该进程.则不应该清理该进程,则直接返回;
    • 否则杀死并清理该进程;
  • 当ProcessRecord为空则新建一个,当创建失败则直接返回;
  • 当以下3个值都为false,则将当前进程加入到mProcessesOnHold, 并直接返回; 当进程真正创建则从mProcessesOnHold中移除.
    • 当AMS.systemReady()执行完成,则mProcessesReady=true;
    • 当进程为persistent, 则isAllowedWhileBooting =true;
    • 一般地创建进程时参数allowWhileBooting = false, 只有AMS.startIsolatedProcess该值才为true;
  • 最后启动新进程,其中参数含义:
    • hostingType可取值为”activity”,”service”,”broadcast”,”content provider”;
    • hostingNameStr数据类型为ComponentName,代表的是具体相对应的组件名.

另外, 进程uid是在进程真正创建之前调用newProcessRecordLocked方法来获取的uid, 这里会考虑是否为isolated的情况.

3.2 AMS.startProcessLocked

private final void startProcessLocked(ProcessRecord app, String hostingType,
        String hostingNameStr, String abiOverride, String entryPoint, String[] entryPointArgs) {
    long startTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
    //当app的pid大于0且不是当前进程的pid,则从mPidsSelfLocked中移除该app.pid
    if (app.pid > 0 && app.pid != MY_PID) {
        synchronized (mPidsSelfLocked) {
            mPidsSelfLocked.remove(app.pid);
            mHandler.removeMessages(PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG, app);
        }
        app.setPid(0);
    }
    //从mProcessesOnHold移除该app
    mProcessesOnHold.remove(app);
    updateCpuStats(); //更新cpu统计信息
    try {
        try {
            if (AppGlobals.getPackageManager().isPackageFrozen(app.info.packageName)) {
                //当前package已被冻结,则抛出异常
                throw new RuntimeException("Package " + app.info.packageName + " is frozen!");
            }
        } catch (RemoteException e) {
            throw e.rethrowAsRuntimeException();
        }
        int uid = app.uid;
        int[] gids = null;
        int mountExternal = Zygote.MOUNT_EXTERNAL_NONE;
        if (!app.isolated) {
            int[] permGids = null;
            try {
                //通过Package Manager获取gids
                final IPackageManager pm = AppGlobals.getPackageManager();
                permGids = pm.getPackageGids(app.info.packageName, app.userId);
                MountServiceInternal mountServiceInternal = LocalServices.getService(
                        MountServiceInternal.class);
                mountExternal = mountServiceInternal.getExternalStorageMountMode(uid,
                        app.info.packageName);
            } catch (RemoteException e) {
                throw e.rethrowAsRuntimeException();
            }

            //添加共享app和gids,用于app直接共享资源
            if (ArrayUtils.isEmpty(permGids)) {
                gids = new int[2];
            } else {
                gids = new int[permGids.length + 2];
                System.arraycopy(permGids, 0, gids, 2, permGids.length);
            }
            gids[0] = UserHandle.getSharedAppGid(UserHandle.getAppId(uid));
            gids[1] = UserHandle.getUserGid(UserHandle.getUserId(uid));
        }

        //根据不同参数,设置相应的debugFlags
        ...

        app.gids = gids;
        app.requiredAbi = requiredAbi;
        app.instructionSet = instructionSet;

        boolean isActivityProcess = (entryPoint == null);
        if (entryPoint == null) entryPoint = "android.app.ActivityThread";
        //请求Zygote创建新进程[见3.3]
        Process.ProcessStartResult startResult = Process.start(entryPoint,
                app.processName, uid, uid, gids, debugFlags, mountExternal,
                app.info.targetSdkVersion, app.info.seinfo, requiredAbi, instructionSet,
                app.info.dataDir, entryPointArgs);

        ...
        if (app.persistent) {
            Watchdog.getInstance().processStarted(app.processName, startResult.pid);
        }
        //重置ProcessRecord的成员变量
        app.setPid(startResult.pid);
        app.usingWrapper = startResult.usingWrapper;
        app.removed = false;
        app.killed = false;
        app.killedByAm = false;

        //将新创建的进程加入到mPidsSelfLocked
        synchronized (mPidsSelfLocked) {
            this.mPidsSelfLocked.put(startResult.pid, app);
            if (isActivityProcess) {
                Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage(PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG);
                msg.obj = app;
                //延迟发送消息PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG
                mHandler.sendMessageDelayed(msg, startResult.usingWrapper
                        ? PROC_START_TIMEOUT_WITH_WRAPPER : PROC_START_TIMEOUT);
            }
        }
    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        app.setPid(0); //进程创建失败,则重置pid
    }
}
  • 根据不同参数,设置相应的debugFlags,比如在AndroidManifest.xml中设置androidd:debuggable为true,代表app运行在debug模式,则增加debugger标识以及开启JNI check功能
  • 调用Process.start来创建新进程;
  • 重置ProcessRecord的成员变量, 一般情况下超时10s后发送PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG的handler消息;

关于Process.start()是通过socket通信告知Zygote创建fork子进程,创建新进程后将ActivityThread类加载到新进程,并调用ActivityThread.main()方法。详细过程见理解Android进程创建流程,接下来进入AT.main方法.

3.3 ActivityThread.main

[-> ActivityThread.java]

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //性能统计默认是关闭的
    SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
    //将当前进程所在userId赋值给sCurrentUser
    Environment.initForCurrentUser();

    EventLogger.setReporter(new EventLoggingReporter());
    AndroidKeyStoreProvider.install();

    //确保可信任的CA证书存放在正确的位置
    final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
    TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);

    Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");

    //创建主线程的Looper对象, 该Looper是不运行退出
    Looper.prepareMainLooper();

    //创建ActivityThread对象
    ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();

    //建立Binder通道 【见流程3.4】
    thread.attach(false);
    if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
        sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
    }

    // 当设置为true时,可打开消息队列的debug log信息
    if (false) {
        Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
    }
    Looper.loop(); //消息循环运行
    throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}
  • 创建主线程的Looper对象: 该Looper是不运行退出. 也就是说主线程的Looper是在进程创建完成时自动创建完成,如果子线程也需要创建handler通信过程,那么就需要手动创建Looper对象,并且每个线程只能创建一次.
  • 创建ActivityThread对象thread = new ActivityThread(): 该过程会初始化几个很重要的变量:
    • mAppThread = new ApplicationThread()
    • mLooper = Looper.myLooper()
    • mH = new H(), H继承于Handler;用于处理组件的生命周期.
  • attach过程是当前主线程向system_server进程通信的过程, 将thread信息告知AMS.接下来还会进一步说明该过程.
  • sMainThreadHandler通过getHandler(),获取的对象便是mH,这就是主线程的handler对象.

之后主线程调用Looper.loop(),进入消息循环状态, 当没有消息时主线程进入休眠状态, 一旦有消息到来则唤醒主线程并执行相关操作.

        @Override
        public void onTrimMemory(int level) {

    });
}

对于非系统attach的处理流程:

  • 创建线程来开启虚拟机的jit即时编译;
  • 通过binder, 调用到AMS.attachApplication, 其参数mAppThread的数据类型为ApplicationThread
  • 观察是否快接近heap的上限,当已用内存超过最大内存的3/4,则请求释放内存空间
  • 添加dropbox日志到libcore
  • 添加Config回调接口

3.5 AMP.attachApplication

}

此处 descriptor = “android.app.IActivityManager”

        attachApplicationLocked(thread, callingPid); // 【见流程3.8】
        Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId);

}
  1. 根据pid从mPidsSelfLocked中查询到相应的ProcessRecord对象app;
  2. 当app==null,意味着本次创建的进程不存在, 则直接返回.
  3. 还刚进入attach过程,此时thread应该为null,若不为null则表示该app附到上一个进程,则调用handleAppDiedLocked清理.
  4. 绑定死亡通知,当进程pid死亡时会通过binder死亡回调,来通知system_server进程死亡的消息;
  5. 重置ProcessRecord进程信息, 此时app.thread也赋予了新值,便不再为空.
  6. app进程存在正在启动中的provider,则超时10s后发送CONTENT_PROVIDER_PUBLISH_TIMEOUT_MSG消息
  7. 调用thread.bindApplication绑定应用进程, 后面再进一步说明
  8. 处理Provider, Activity, Service, Broadcast相应流程

下面,再来说说thread.bindApplication的过程.

在handleBindApplication()的过程中,会同时设置以下两个值:

  • LoadedApk.mApplication
  • AT.mInitialApplication

3.13.1 getPackageInfoNoCheck

[-> ActivityThread.java]

public final LoadedApk getPackageInfoNoCheck(ApplicationInfo ai,
        CompatibilityInfo compatInfo) {
    return getPackageInfo(ai, compatInfo, null, false, true, false);
}

private LoadedApk getPackageInfo(ApplicationInfo aInfo, CompatibilityInfo compatInfo,
    ClassLoader baseLoader, boolean securityViolation, boolean includeCode,
        boolean registerPackage) {
    final boolean differentUser = (UserHandle.myUserId() != UserHandle.getUserId(aInfo.uid));
    synchronized (mResourcesManager) {
        WeakReference<LoadedApk> ref;
        if (differentUser) {
            //不支持跨用户
            ref = null;
        } else if (includeCode) {
            ref = mPackages.get(aInfo.packageName);
        } else {
            ref = mResourcePackages.get(aInfo.packageName);
        }

        LoadedApk packageInfo = ref != null ? ref.get() : null;
        if (packageInfo == null || (packageInfo.mResources != null
                && !packageInfo.mResources.getAssets().isUpToDate())) {
            //创建LoadedApk对象
            packageInfo =
                new LoadedApk(this, aInfo, compatInfo, baseLoader,
                        securityViolation, includeCode &&
                        (aInfo.flags&ApplicationInfo.FLAG_HAS_CODE) != 0, registerPackage);

            if (mSystemThread && "android".equals(aInfo.packageName)) {
                packageInfo.installSystemApplicationInfo(aInfo,
                        getSystemContext().mPackageInfo.getClassLoader());
            }

            if (differentUser) {
                //不支持跨用户
            } else if (includeCode) {
                mPackages.put(aInfo.packageName,
                        new WeakReference<LoadedApk>(packageInfo));
            } else {
                mResourcePackages.put(aInfo.packageName,
                        new WeakReference<LoadedApk>(packageInfo));
            }
        }
        return packageInfo;
    }
}

创建LoadedApk对象

3.14 makeApplication

[-> LoadedApk.java]

public Application makeApplication(boolean forceDefaultAppClass,
        Instrumentation instrumentation) {
    if (mApplication != null) {
        return mApplication;
    }

    Application app = null;

    String appClass = mApplicationInfo.className;
    if (forceDefaultAppClass || (appClass == null)) {
        appClass = "android.app.Application";
    }

    try {
        java.lang.ClassLoader cl = getClassLoader();
        if (!mPackageName.equals("android")) {
            initializeJavaContextClassLoader();
        }
        //[见小节3.14.1]
        ContextImpl appContext = ContextImpl.createAppContext(mActivityThread, this);
        //[见小节3.14.2]
        app = mActivityThread.mInstrumentation.newApplication(
                cl, appClass, appContext);
        appContext.setOuterContext(app);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        ...
    }
    mActivityThread.mAllApplications.add(app);
    //设置mApplication对象值
    mApplication = app;

    if (instrumentation != null) {
        try {
            //调用app.onCreate()
            instrumentation.callApplicationOnCreate(app);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            ...
        }
    }

    SparseArray<String> packageIdentifiers = getAssets(mActivityThread)
            .getAssignedPackageIdentifiers();
    final int N = packageIdentifiers.size();
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        final int id = packageIdentifiers.keyAt(i);
        if (id == 0x01 || id == 0x7f) {
            continue;
        }
        //重写所有apk库中的R常量[见小节3.14.3]
        rewriteRValues(getClassLoader(), packageIdentifiers.valueAt(i), id);
    }
    return app;
}

3.14.1 createAppContext

[-> ContextImpl.java]

static ContextImpl createAppContext(ActivityThread mainThread, LoadedApk packageInfo) {
    if (packageInfo == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("packageInfo");
    return new ContextImpl(null, mainThread,
            packageInfo, null, null, false, null, null, Display.INVALID_DISPLAY);
}

创建ContextImpl对象

3.14.2 newApplication

[-> Instrumentation.java]

public Application newApplication(ClassLoader cl, String className, Context context)
        throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException,
        ClassNotFoundException {
    return newApplication(cl.loadClass(className), context);
}

创建Application对象, 该对象名来自于mApplicationInfo.className.

3.14.3 rewriteRValues

[-> LoadedApk.java]

    try {
        rClazz = cl.loadClass(packageName + ".R");
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        return;
    }

    final Method callback;
    try {
        callback = rClazz.getMethod("onResourcesLoaded", int.class);
    } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
        return;
    }

    Throwable cause;
    try {
        callback.invoke(null, id);
        return;
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        cause = e;
    } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
        cause = e.getCause();
    }

    throw new RuntimeException("Failed to rewrite resource references for " + packageName,
            cause);
}

四. 总结

本文首先介绍AMS的4个同名不同参数的方法startProcessLocked; 紧接着讲述了四大组件与进程的关系, Activity, Service, ContentProvider, BroadcastReceiver这四大组件,在启动的过程,当其所承载的进程不存在时需要先创建进程. 再然后进入重点以startProcessLocked以引线一路讲解整个过程所遇到的核心方法. 在整个过程中有新创建的进程与system_server进程之间的交互过程 是通过binder进行通信的, 这里有两条binder通道分别为AMP/AMN 和 ATP/ATN.

start_process

上图便是一次完整的进程创建过程,app的任何组件需要有一个承载其运行的容器,那就是进程, 那么进程的创建过程都是由系统进程system_server通过socket向zygote进程来请求fork()新进程, 当创建出来的app process与system_server进程之间的通信便是通过binder IPC机制.
