summary
Window is a very common concept in android. Common knowledge points such as Activity, Dialog and Toast are inseparable from window.
Therefore, the author arranges the knowledge related to the next window, hoping to help the readers in need.
window official description
The description of window in the source code of window is as follows:
/** * Abstract base class for a top-level window look and behavior policy. An * instance of this class should be used as the top-level view added to the * window manager. It provides standard UI policies such as a background, title * area, default key processing, etc. * * <p>The only existing implementation of this abstract class is * android.view.PhoneWindow, which you should instantiate when needing a * Window. */
The general meaning of the author's translation is as follows:
- Window is an abstract class, which is mainly used to deal with window display and behavior strategies (such as touch, click, etc.).
- The instance of window class should be a top-level view added to windows manager.
- window provides standard UI policies, such as background, title area, default key processing, etc.
- widnow's only implementation class is Android view. Phonewindow. If you want to use window, you must use Android view. PhoneWindow.
window and decorview
The logical relationship between window and decorview is as follows:
- An activity corresponds to a PhoneWindow. PhoneWidnow will handle the ui display and user behavior (such as touch, click, etc.) in this activity.
- PhoneWidnow is not a View object. By adding PhoneWindow to windowManager, PhoneWindow can pass the behavior events to be processed to DecorView.
- DecorView inherits from FrameLayout and is the top-level view except Window.
- ContentView is the activity we usually use The View set in setcontentview(). Its corresponding ID is R.id.content.
Source code analysis
Next, let's look at the relationship between specific window related levels through source code analysis.
Activity.setContentView()
The logic is as follows:
- Call window Setcontentview() to initialize Layout
- Call initWindowDecorActionBar to initialize the actionBar
Since we are concerned about the relationship between the relevant levels of window, we will directly look at window Setcontentview source code.
public void setContentView(@LayoutRes int layoutResID) { getWindow().setContentView(layoutResID); initWindowDecorActionBar(); }
PhoneWindow.setContentView()
According to the comments of window analyzed above, it is known that the instance of window is PhoneWindow, so jump directly to the source code of PhoneWindow.
The main logic is as follows:
- First, judge whether the contentView has been created. If not, you need to call installDecor() to initialize DecorView.
- Then, the inflate() method will be called to add the layout to the contentView. (FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS is the logic related to transition animation, which is not to be seen for the time being.)
- Finally, call the onContentChanged() method of callBack of window to inform window content changes.
// This is the view in which the window contents are placed. It is either // mDecor itself, or a child of mDecor where the contents go. ViewGroup mContentParent; public void setContentView(int layoutResID) { if (mContentParent == null) { installDecor(); } else if (!hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) { mContentParent.removeAllViews(); } if (hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) { final Scene newScene = Scene.getSceneForLayout(mContentParent, layoutResID, getContext()); transitionTo(newScene); } else { mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent); } mContentParent.requestApplyInsets(); final Callback cb = getCallback(); if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) { cb.onContentChanged(); } mContentParentExplicitlySet = true; }
PhoneWindow.installDecor()
installDecor() is the relevant logic for initializing DecorView. The main logic is as follows:
- Judge whether the DecorView is empty. If it is empty, call generateDecor() to create it. If it has been initialized, call setWindow again to bind the window at this time.
- Judge whether the contentView is empty. If it is empty, call generateLayout() to create it.
- decorContentParent is the View of the toolbar. It also executes the initialization logic by judging whether it is empty.
- Later FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS is the logic related to transition animation. Let's not look at it for the time being.
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); } } mDecorContentParent.setUiOptions(mUiOptions); if ((mResourcesSetFlags & FLAG_RESOURCE_SET_ICON) != 0 || (mIconRes != 0 && !mDecorContentParent.hasIcon())) { mDecorContentParent.setIcon(mIconRes); } else if ((mResourcesSetFlags & FLAG_RESOURCE_SET_ICON) == 0 && mIconRes == 0 && !mDecorContentParent.hasIcon()) { mDecorContentParent.setIcon( getContext().getPackageManager().getDefaultActivityIcon()); mResourcesSetFlags |= FLAG_RESOURCE_SET_ICON_FALLBACK; } if ((mResourcesSetFlags & FLAG_RESOURCE_SET_LOGO) != 0 || (mLogoRes != 0 && !mDecorContentParent.hasLogo())) { mDecorContentParent.setLogo(mLogoRes); } // Invalidate if the panel menu hasn't been created before this. // Panel menu invalidation is deferred avoiding application onCreateOptionsMenu // being called in the middle of onCreate or similar. // A pending invalidation will typically be resolved before the posted message // would run normally in order to satisfy instance state restoration. PanelFeatureState st = getPanelState(FEATURE_OPTIONS_PANEL, false); if (!isDestroyed() && (st == null || st.menu == null) && !mIsStartingWindow) { invalidatePanelMenu(FEATURE_ACTION_BAR); } } else { mTitleView = findViewById(R.id.title); if (mTitleView != null) { if ((getLocalFeatures() & (1 << FEATURE_NO_TITLE)) != 0) { final View titleContainer = findViewById(R.id.title_container); if (titleContainer != null) { titleContainer.setVisibility(View.GONE); } else { mTitleView.setVisibility(View.GONE); } mContentParent.setForeground(null); } else { mTitleView.setText(mTitle); } } } if (mDecor.getBackground() == null && mBackgroundFallbackResource != 0) { mDecor.setBackgroundFallback(mBackgroundFallbackResource); } // Only inflate or create a new TransitionManager if the caller hasn't // already set a custom one. if (hasFeature(FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS)) { if (mTransitionManager == null) { final int transitionRes = getWindowStyle().getResourceId( R.styleable.Window_windowContentTransitionManager, 0); if (transitionRes != 0) { final TransitionInflater inflater = TransitionInflater.from(getContext()); mTransitionManager = inflater.inflateTransitionManager(transitionRes, mContentParent); } else { mTransitionManager = new TransitionManager(); } } mEnterTransition = getTransition(mEnterTransition, null, R.styleable.Window_windowEnterTransition); mReturnTransition = getTransition(mReturnTransition, USE_DEFAULT_TRANSITION, R.styleable.Window_windowReturnTransition); mExitTransition = getTransition(mExitTransition, null, R.styleable.Window_windowExitTransition); mReenterTransition = getTransition(mReenterTransition, USE_DEFAULT_TRANSITION, R.styleable.Window_windowReenterTransition); mSharedElementEnterTransition = getTransition(mSharedElementEnterTransition, null, R.styleable.Window_windowSharedElementEnterTransition); mSharedElementReturnTransition = getTransition(mSharedElementReturnTransition, USE_DEFAULT_TRANSITION, R.styleable.Window_windowSharedElementReturnTransition); mSharedElementExitTransition = getTransition(mSharedElementExitTransition, null, R.styleable.Window_windowSharedElementExitTransition); mSharedElementReenterTransition = getTransition(mSharedElementReenterTransition, USE_DEFAULT_TRANSITION, R.styleable.Window_windowSharedElementReenterTransition); if (mAllowEnterTransitionOverlap == null) { mAllowEnterTransitionOverlap = getWindowStyle().getBoolean( R.styleable.Window_windowAllowEnterTransitionOverlap, true); } if (mAllowReturnTransitionOverlap == null) { mAllowReturnTransitionOverlap = getWindowStyle().getBoolean( R.styleable.Window_windowAllowReturnTransitionOverlap, true); } if (mBackgroundFadeDurationMillis < 0) { mBackgroundFadeDurationMillis = getWindowStyle().getInteger( R.styleable.Window_windowTransitionBackgroundFadeDuration, DEFAULT_BACKGROUND_FADE_DURATION_MS); } if (mSharedElementsUseOverlay == null) { mSharedElementsUseOverlay = getWindowStyle().getBoolean( R.styleable.Window_windowSharedElementsUseOverlay, true); } } } }
PhoneWindow.generateDecor()
generateDecor() is the relevant logic for creating DecorView. The main logic is as follows:
- First judge whether the current context is a DecorContext. If not, create a new DecorContext through application and the current content.
- Directly return a new DecorView. You need to pass in the parameter DecorContext and the window at this time.
protected DecorView generateDecor(int featureId) { // System process doesn't have application context and in that case we need to directly use // the context we have. Otherwise we want the application context, so we don't cling to the // activity. Context context; if (mUseDecorContext) { Context applicationContext = getContext().getApplicationContext(); if (applicationContext == null) { context = getContext(); } else { context = new DecorContext(applicationContext, getContext()); if (mTheme != -1) { context.setTheme(mTheme); } } } else { context = getContext(); } return new DecorView(context, featureId, this, getAttributes()); }
PhoneWindow.generateLayout()
generateLayout() is a method for creating contentView. The main logic is as follows:
- Get the TypeArray of the window through getWindowStyle(), and then get the relevant status of the window through this TypeArray, so as to set the properties of the window. (common status, such as title, actionbar, etc.)
- There is also Window The logic of getcontainer(). For example, a dialog will have its own Window. The Container of the dialog Window is the Window of its Activity.
- Will eventually pass id=ID_ANDROID_CONTENT gets contentParent and returns. ID_ANDROID_CONTENT = com.android.internal.R.id.content. (r.id.content is often used when using fragment, which is actually the corresponding contentView)

Initialization of window in activity
The window is initialized when the activity is started. The task stack calls initialized by widnow are:
- ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity()
- Activity.attach()
Activity. The main logic of attach() is as follows:
- Create PhoneWindow
- Set windowManager for PhoneWindow through context Getsystemservice() gets the windowsmanager.
- When the mParent of the activity exists, set the container of the window to mParent getWindow(). (mParent is related to TabActivity. If you are interested, you can see the TabActivity source code by yourself)
final void attach(Context context, ActivityThread aThread, Instrumentation instr, IBinder token, int ident, Application application, Intent intent, ActivityInfo info, CharSequence title, Activity parent, String id, NonConfigurationInstances lastNonConfigurationInstances, Configuration config, String referrer, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor, Window window, ActivityConfigCallback activityConfigCallback, IBinder assistToken) { attachBaseContext(context); mFragments.attachHost(null /*parent*/); mWindow = new PhoneWindow(this, window, activityConfigCallback); mWindow.setWindowControllerCallback(this); mWindow.setCallback(this); mWindow.setOnWindowDismissedCallback(this); mWindow.getLayoutInflater().setPrivateFactory(this); if (info.softInputMode != WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_UNSPECIFIED) { mWindow.setSoftInputMode(info.softInputMode); } if (info.uiOptions != 0) { mWindow.setUiOptions(info.uiOptions); } mUiThread = Thread.currentThread(); mMainThread = aThread; mInstrumentation = instr; mToken = token; mAssistToken = assistToken; mIdent = ident; mApplication = application; mIntent = intent; mReferrer = referrer; mComponent = intent.getComponent(); mActivityInfo = info; mTitle = title; mParent = parent; mEmbeddedID = id; mLastNonConfigurationInstances = lastNonConfigurationInstances; if (voiceInteractor != null) { if (lastNonConfigurationInstances != null) { mVoiceInteractor = lastNonConfigurationInstances.voiceInteractor; } else { mVoiceInteractor = new VoiceInteractor(voiceInteractor, this, this, Looper.myLooper()); } } mWindow.setWindowManager( (WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE), mToken, mComponent.flattenToString(), (info.flags & ActivityInfo.FLAG_HARDWARE_ACCELERATED) != 0); if (mParent != null) { mWindow.setContainer(mParent.getWindow()); } mWindowManager = mWindow.getWindowManager(); mCurrentConfig = config; mWindow.setColorMode(info.colorMode); setAutofillOptions(application.getAutofillOptions()); setContentCaptureOptions(application.getContentCaptureOptions()); }
