一段程序的調用都有它的程序入口，衆所周知Java程序的入口在main方法。作爲Android來說應用程序的啓動是通過 ActivityThread 類 來執行的。系統中對於該類的介紹如下：
該類是管理應用程序進程中主線程的執行，調度和執行活動，廣播以及活動管理者請求的其他操作。
當我打開App時，首先調用的是這個類中的main方法，也就是說這裏控制着程序的啓動。
ActivityThread#main
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
// CloseGuard defaults to true and can be quite spammy. We
// disable it here, but selectively enable it later (via
// StrictMode) on debug builds, but using DropBox, not logs.
CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);
//初始化當前的可訪問環境,主要是系統內部的可存儲環境
Environment.initForCurrentUser();
// Set the reporter for event logging in libcore
EventLogger.setReporter(new EventLoggingReporter());
// Make sure TrustedCertificateStore looks in the right place for CA certificates
final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);
Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");
//step 1:
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
//step 2:
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
thread.attach(false);
//初始化一個線程安全的handler對象
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
// End of event ActivityThreadMain.
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
//執行消息隊列，不斷輪詢消息。
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}main方法中重要的操作：
step 1：
Looper.prepareMainLooper() ：初始化當前的線程作爲一個looper，並且標記爲應用中的main looper。後面還跟着對應的loop(),在消息隊列中輪詢接收的消息。
step 2：
實例化當前ActivityThread對象，並且調用attach。繼續分析該方法中的調用。
ActivityThread#attach
private void attach(boolean system) {
sCurrentActivityThread = this;
mSystemThread = system;
if (!system) {
ViewRootImpl.addFirstDrawHandler(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
ensureJitEnabled();
}
});
android.ddm.DdmHandleAppName.setAppName("<pre-initialized>",
UserHandle.myUserId());
RuntimeInit.setApplicationObject(mAppThread.asBinder());
//step 1: 將ActivityManagerService 和 ApplicationThread 關聯起來
final IActivityManager mgr = ActivityManager.getService();
try {
mgr.attachApplication(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
// Watch for getting close to heap limit.
BinderInternal.addGcWatcher(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {
if (!mSomeActivitiesChanged) {
return;
}
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
long dalvikMax = runtime.maxMemory();
long dalvikUsed = runtime.totalMemory() - runtime.freeMemory();
if (dalvikUsed > ((3*dalvikMax)/4)) {
if (DEBUG_MEMORY_TRIM) Slog.d(TAG, "Dalvik max=" + (dalvikMax/1024)
+ " total=" + (runtime.totalMemory()/1024)
+ " used=" + (dalvikUsed/1024));
mSomeActivitiesChanged = false;
try {
mgr.releaseSomeActivities(mAppThread);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw e.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
}
}
});
} else {
// Don't set application object here -- if the system crashes,
// we can't display an alert, we just want to die die die.
android.ddm.DdmHandleAppName.setAppName("system_process",
UserHandle.myUserId());
try {
mInstrumentation = new Instrumentation();
ContextImpl context = ContextImpl.createAppContext(
this, getSystemContext().mPackageInfo);
mInitialApplication = context.mPackageInfo.makeApplication(true, null);
mInitialApplication.onCreate();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to instantiate Application():" + e.toString(), e);
}
}
// add dropbox logging to libcore
DropBox.setReporter(new DropBoxReporter());
ViewRootImpl.ConfigChangedCallback configChangedCallback
= (Configuration globalConfig) -> {
synchronized (mResourcesManager) {
// We need to apply this change to the resources immediately, because upon returning
// the view hierarchy will be informed about it.
if (mResourcesManager.applyConfigurationToResourcesLocked(globalConfig,
null /* compat */)) {
updateLocaleListFromAppContext(mInitialApplication.getApplicationContext(),
mResourcesManager.getConfiguration().getLocales());
// This actually changed the resources! Tell everyone about it.
if (mPendingConfiguration == null
|| mPendingConfiguration.isOtherSeqNewer(globalConfig)) {
mPendingConfiguration = globalConfig;
sendMessage(H.CONFIGURATION_CHANGED, globalConfig);
}
}
}
};
// 添加配置信息接口回調
ViewRootImpl.addConfigCallback(configChangedCallback);
}上面方法中傳入的參數爲false，所以執行的是if中的邏輯。這裏面主要的操作就是通過ActivityManager.getService() 返回了ActivityManagerService對象，然後調用attachApplication方法將ApplicationThread 對象關聯。下面我們繼續進入attachApplication 方法來分析。
ActivityManagerService#attachApplication
@Override

}通過這個方法中完成了一些啓動Activity的準備工作，然後調用scheduleLaunchActivity方法，從上面我們可以知道這裏調用的是ApplicationThread中的方法：
ActivityThread.ApplicationThread#scheduleLaunchActivity
@Override
public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, 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 notResumed, boolean isForward, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo) {
updateProcessState(procState, false);
ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord();
r.token = token;
r.ident = ident;
r.intent = intent;
r.referrer = referrer;
r.voiceInteractor = voiceInteractor;
r.activityInfo = info;
r.compatInfo = compatInfo;
r.state = state;
r.persistentState = persistentState;
r.pendingResults = pendingResults;
r.pendingIntents = pendingNewIntents;
r.startsNotResumed = notResumed;
r.isForward = isForward;
r.profilerInfo = profilerInfo;
r.overrideConfig = overrideConfig;
updatePendingConfiguration(curConfig);
sendMessage(H.LAUNCH_ACTIVITY, r);
}在這裏我們可以看到調用的是Handler的消息通信機制，當Activity狀態改變時，都會有對應的一個消息發送出去。而且我們還看到ApplicationThread類中包含了許多不同的scheduleXXX 類的方法，這些方法代表了不同啓動狀態，每個狀態的改變都通過它來發送給Handler進行處理。
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) Slog.v(TAG, ">>> handling: " + codeToString(msg.what));
