学习了一段时间的安卓自定义view,稍微总结一下学到的东西。最近也事情也比较烦，还是静下心来学习一波，不忘初心。 对于安卓开发者来说，setContentView这个方法再熟悉不过了，每个Activity都会调用，大家都知道这个是设置当前activity界面的，里面具体做了什么呢？通过原来阅读来简单介绍一下。
一. DecorView的生成 进入setContentView中，首先看到的 getWindow()自然就是PhoneWindow了，我们进入PhoneWindow 这里的关键代码在instalDecor()中，猜一下就是创建DecorView，DecorView又是什么呢？
//省略了数万行代码后 private void installDecor() { mForceDecorInstall = false; if (mDecor == null) { mDecor = generateDecor(-1); mDecor.setDescendantFocusability(ViewGroup.FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS); mDecor.setIsRootNamespace(true); if (!mInvalidatePanelMenuPosted && mInvalidatePanelMenuFeatures != 0) { mDecor.postOnAnimation(mInvalidatePanelMenuRunnable); } } else { mDecor.setWindow(this); } if (mContentParent == null) { mContentParent = generateLayout(mDecor); // Set up decor part of UI to ignore fitsSystemWindows if appropriate. mDecor.makeOptionalFitsSystemWindows(); final DecorContentParent decorContentParent = (DecorContentParent) mDecor.findViewById( R.id.decor_content_parent); if (decorContentParent != null) { mDecorContentParent = decorContentParent; mDecorContentParent.setWindowCallback(getCallback()); if (mDecorContentParent.getTitle() == null) { mDecorContentParent.setWindowTitle(mTitle); } final int localFeatures = getLocalFeatures(); for (int i = 0; i < FEATURE_MAX; i++) { if ((localFeatures & (1 << i)) != 0) { mDecorContentParent.initFeature(i); } } } else { } } }这里看关键的mDecor = generateDecor(-1); 这里只是生成了以DecorView，DecorView我们看源码就知道是继承FrameLayout的。 接下来 mContentParent = generateLayout(mDecor); 这里才是真正的绑定布局。
protected ViewGroup generateLayout(DecorView decor) { // Inflate the window decor. int layoutResource; int features = getLocalFeatures(); // System.out.println("Features: 0x" + Integer.toHexString(features)); if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_SWIPE_TO_DISMISS)) != 0) { layoutResource = R.layout.screen_swipe_dismiss; } else if ((features & ((1 << FEATURE_LEFT_ICON) | (1 << FEATURE_RIGHT_ICON))) != 0) { if (mIsFloating) { TypedValue res = new TypedValue(); getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute( R.attr.dialogTitleIconsDecorLayout, res, true); layoutResource = res.resourceId; } else { layoutResource = R.layout.screen_title_icons; } // XXX Remove this once action bar supports these features. removeFeature(FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); // System.out.println("Title Icons!"); } else if ((features & ((1 << FEATURE_PROGRESS) | (1 << FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS))) != 0 && (features & (1 << FEATURE_ACTION_BAR)) == 0) { // Special case for a window with only a progress bar (and title). // XXX Need to have a no-title version of embedded windows. layoutResource = R.layout.screen_progress; // System.out.println("Progress!"); } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE)) != 0) { // Special case for a window with a custom title. // If the window is floating, we need a dialog layout if (mIsFloating) { TypedValue res = new TypedValue(); getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute( R.attr.dialogCustomTitleDecorLayout, res, true); layoutResource = res.resourceId; } else { layoutResource = R.layout.screen_custom_title; } // XXX Remove this once action bar supports these features. removeFeature(FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_NO_TITLE)) == 0) { // If no other features and not embedded, only need a title. // If the window is floating, we need a dialog layout if (mIsFloating) { TypedValue res = new TypedValue(); getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute( R.attr.dialogTitleDecorLayout, res, true); layoutResource = res.resourceId; } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_ACTION_BAR)) != 0) { layoutResource = a.getResourceId( R.styleable.Window_windowActionBarFullscreenDecorLayout, R.layout.screen_action_bar); } else { layoutResource = R.layout.screen_title; } // System.out.println("Title!"); } else if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_ACTION_MODE_OVERLAY)) != 0) { layoutResource = R.layout.screen_simple_overlay_action_mode; } else { // Embedded, so no decoration is needed. layoutResource = R.layout.screen_simple; // System.out.println("Simple!"); } mDecor.startChanging(); mDecor.onResourcesLoaded(mLayoutInflater, layoutResource); ViewGroup contentParent = (ViewGroup)findViewById(ID_ANDROID_CONTENT); if (contentParent == null) { throw new RuntimeException("Window couldn't find content container view"); } if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS)) != 0) { ProgressBar progress = getCircularProgressBar(false); if (progress != null) { progress.setIndeterminate(true); } } if ((features & (1 << FEATURE_SWIPE_TO_DISMISS)) != 0) { registerSwipeCallbacks(); } // Remaining setup -- of background and title -- that only applies // to top-level windows. if (getContainer() == null) { final Drawable background; if (mBackgroundResource != 0) { background = getContext().getDrawable(mBackgroundResource); } else { background = mBackgroundDrawable; } mDecor.setWindowBackground(background); final Drawable frame; if (mFrameResource != 0) { frame = getContext().getDrawable(mFrameResource); } else { frame = null; } mDecor.setWindowFrame(frame); mDecor.setElevation(mElevation); mDecor.setClipToOutline(mClipToOutline); if (mTitle != null) { setTitle(mTitle); } if (mTitleColor == 0) { mTitleColor = mTextColor; } setTitleColor(mTitleColor); } mDecor.finishChanging(); return contentParent; }这里同样省略了很多代码，我们看一开始的注释就知道是来给DecorView绑定布局了，这里我们看一个最简单的布局R.layout.screen_simple，
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:orientation="vertical"> <ViewStub android:id="@+id/action_mode_bar_stub" android:inflatedId="@+id/action_mode_bar" android:layout="@layout/action_mode_bar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:theme="?attr/actionBarTheme" /> <FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:foregroundInsidePadding="false" android:foregroundGravity="fill_horizontal|top" android:foreground="?android:attr/windowContentOverlay" /> </LinearLayout>看完这个布局我们就知道了我们自己写的布局就是添加到content这个ID的FrameLayout里的，这里整个布局就是添加到DecorView中的，并且都是matchParent的，在这行代码可以找到答案 mDecor.onResourcesLoaded(mLayoutInflater, layoutResource); 那么我们整个视图就是这个样子的
二. LayoutInflater分析 这里我们继续回到setContentView中，mContentParent已经赋值了，就是我们的content,这里调用的 mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent); 当然就是把我们自己的布局添加到mContentParent中。分析一下内部实现。
public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root) { return inflate(resource, root, root != null); }这里调用两个参数的方法，最后一个boolean自然是true了，我们继续跟，最后到了
public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) { synchronized (mConstructorArgs) { Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, "inflate"); final Context inflaterContext = mContext; final AttributeSet attrs = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser); Context lastContext = (Context) mConstructorArgs[0]; mConstructorArgs[0] = inflaterContext; View result = root; try { // Look for the root node. int type; while ((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.START_TAG && type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) { // Empty } if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) { throw new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription() + ": No start tag found!"); } final String name = parser.getName(); if (DEBUG) { System.out.println("**************************"); System.out.println("Creating root view: " + name); System.out.println("**************************"); } if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) { if (root == null || !attachToRoot) { throw new InflateException("<merge /> can be used only with a valid " + "ViewGroup root and attachToRoot=true"); } rInflate(parser, root, inflaterContext, attrs, false); } else { // Temp is the root view that was found in the xml final View temp = createViewFromTag(root, name, inflaterContext, attrs); ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = null; if (root != null) { if (DEBUG) { System.out.println("Creating params from root: " + root); } // Create layout params that match root, if supplied params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs); if (!attachToRoot) { // Set the layout params for temp if we are not // attaching. (If we are, we use addView, below) temp.setLayoutParams(params); } } if (DEBUG) { System.out.println("-----> start inflating children"); } // Inflate all children under temp against its context. rInflateChildren(parser, temp, attrs, true); if (DEBUG) { System.out.println("-----> done inflating children"); } // We are supposed to attach all the views we found (int temp) // to root. Do that now. if (root != null && attachToRoot) { root.addView(temp, params); } // Decide whether to return the root that was passed in or the // top view found in xml. if (root == null || !attachToRoot) { result = temp; } } } catch (XmlPullParserException e) { final InflateException ie = new InflateException(e.getMessage(), e); ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE); throw ie; } catch (Exception e) { final InflateException ie = new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription() + ": " + e.getMessage(), e); ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE); throw ie; } finally { // Don't retain static reference on context. mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext; mConstructorArgs[1] = null; Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW); } return result; } }大概理解一下，这里通过递归不断解析xml来创建view,最后添加到mContentParent中。 这里主要关注几个点，merge如果为没有添加到其他布局而作为直接根布局会抛出异常，include不能作为xml的根布局，平时我写的很多的的LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.xx,null);这里经常不能正确渲染出宽高，通过查看源码。
// Decide whether to return the root that was passed in or the // top view found in xml. if (root == null || !attachToRoot) { result = temp; }这里的temp就是直接通过xml标签通过反射创建的view，没有设置LayoutParams。我们在ViewGroup中查看addView的源码，
public void addView(View child, int index) { if (child == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot add a null child view to a ViewGroup"); } LayoutParams params = child.getLayoutParams(); if (params == null) { params = generateDefaultLayoutParams(); if (params == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("generateDefaultLayoutParams() cannot return null"); } } addView(child, index, params); }其中会执行 params = generateDefaultLayoutParams();这里生成的params就是对应的父容器的默认params,这里宽高的都是wrap_content，所以这就是我们这样使用LayoutInflate渲染出来的view直接在xml根布局里修改宽高并没有什么作用的原因。
小结一下，setContentView的作用就是将指定的xml布局添加到decorView的content中，等待之后添加到window进行渲染。实际使用的还是LayoutInflater。
