我們在自定義實現一個自定義view的時候，往往需要重寫它的onDraw()方法，在這個方法中，我們可以獲取到它的Canvas對象，那麼，這個Canvas對象是怎麼得到的呢？
首先我們知道Activity的視圖是由一個Window來進行顯示的，具體來說是一個Phone Window對象，而每個窗口又都會包含一個Surface，而Canvas就是由這個得到的，具體流程如下：
- 當窗口需要繪製UI時，調用關聯的Surface的lockCanvas方法獲得Canvas
- 獲得Canvas後將調用View.draw()方法將內容繪製到Canvas上
- 第二步完成之後，調用unLockCanvasAndPost方法將Canvas顯示到屏幕上
而我們最需要關心的是第二步中View.draw()方法，因爲在它裏面調用了我們熟悉的onDraw（）方法以及平常不被注意的一些方法，我們先來看它的具體實現。
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
final int privateFlags = mPrivateFlags;
final boolean dirtyOpaque = (privateFlags & PFLAG_DIRTY_MASK) == PFLAG_DIRTY_OPAQUE &&
(mAttachInfo == null || !mAttachInfo.mIgnoreDirtyState);
mPrivateFlags = (privateFlags & ~PFLAG_DIRTY_MASK) | PFLAG_DRAWN;
/*
* Draw traversal performs several drawing steps which must be executed
* in the appropriate order:
*
* 1. Draw the background
* 2. If necessary, save the canvas' layers to prepare for fading
* 3. Draw view's content
* 4. Draw children
* 5. If necessary, draw the fading edges and restore layers
* 6. Draw decorations (scrollbars for instance)
*/
// Step 1, draw the background, if needed
int saveCount;
if (!dirtyOpaque) {
drawBackground(canvas);
}
// skip step 2 & 5 if possible (common case)
final int viewFlags = mViewFlags;
boolean horizontalEdges = (viewFlags & FADING_EDGE_HORIZONTAL) != 0;
boolean verticalEdges = (viewFlags & FADING_EDGE_VERTICAL) != 0;
if (!verticalEdges && !horizontalEdges) {
// Step 3, draw the content
if (!dirtyOpaque) onDraw(canvas);
// Step 4, draw the children
dispatchDraw(canvas);
drawAutofilledHighlight(canvas);
// Overlay is part of the content and draws beneath Foreground
if (mOverlay != null && !mOverlay.isEmpty()) {
mOverlay.getOverlayView().dispatchDraw(canvas);
}
// Step 6, draw decorations (foreground, scrollbars)
onDrawForeground(canvas);
// Step 7, draw the default focus highlight
drawDefaultFocusHighlight(canvas);
if (debugDraw()) {
debugDrawFocus(canvas);
}
// we're done...
return;

}我們可以將View的繪製流程總結下，完整的繪製分別是以下幾步：
- 背景（private，無法重寫）
- 主體（onDraw()）
- 子 View（dispatchDraw()）
- 滑動邊緣漸變和滑動條
- 前景
需要注意的有兩點，因爲我們最常重寫的方法是onDraw（）方法，但是實際上onDraw方法在View中是一個空方法，如果我們是直接繼承View而不是其他的子類的話，其實super.onDraw（）是可以被省略掉的，還有一點就是，dispatchDraw（）方法其實在Canvas中也是一個空方法，因爲View是沒有子類的，我們可以看看ViewGroup中是怎麼實現它的。

}可以看到，ViewGrup在dispatchDraw方法中調用了drawChild方法，而drawChild方法如下：
protected boolean drawChild(Canvas canvas, View child, long drawingTime) {
return child.draw(canvas, this, drawingTime);
}可以看到，其實裏面就是調用了子View的draw方法，這實際上是一個遞歸的過程。
總結Window繪製UI的流程如下：
- 通過Surface獲得Canvas對象
- 調用Draw方法遞歸地繪製（View則繪製自身，ViewGroup則繪製自身和子View）
- 顯示UI
