LinearLayout的测量过程

从LinearLayout的onMeasure()方法开始分析：（所用代码 API 23）

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    if (mOrientation == VERTICAL) {
        measureVertical(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    } else {
        measureHorizontal(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    }
}

LinearLayout分两个方向的测量， 看一个即可。 

这里选择竖直方向上的测量过程：

    /**
     * Measures the children when the orientation of this LinearLayout is set
     * to {@link #VERTICAL}.
     *
     * @param widthMeasureSpec Horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent.
     * @param heightMeasureSpec Vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent.
     *
     * @see #getOrientation()
     * @see #setOrientation(int)
     * @see #onMeasure(int, int)
     */

从 上面这段代码可以看出，系统会遍历子元素并对每个子元素执行 measureChildBeforeLayout 方法，这个方法内部会调用子元素的 measure 方法，这样各个子元素就开始依次进入 measure 过程，并且系统会通过 mTotalLength 这个变量来存储 LinearLayout 在竖直方向的初始高度。每测量一个子元素，mTotalLength 就会增加，增加的部分主要包括了子元素的高度以及子元素在竖直方向上的 margin 等。

等子元素测量完毕后，LinearLayout 会测量自己的大小，源码如下：

   public static int resolveSizeAndState(int size, int measureSpec, int childMeasuredState) {
        final int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpec);
        final int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(measureSpec);
        final int result;
        switch (specMode) {
            case MeasureSpec.AT_MOST:
                if (specSize < size) {
                    result = specSize | MEASURED_STATE_TOO_SMALL;
                } else {
                    result = size;
                }
                break;
            case MeasureSpec.EXACTLY:
                result = specSize;
                break;
            case MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
            default:
                result = size;
        }
        return result | (childMeasuredState & MEASURED_STATE_MASK);
    }

　　针对竖直的LinearLayout而言， 它在水平方向上的测量过程遵循View的测量过程。

在竖直方向上的测量过程则和View不同：

     如果LinearLayout的布局中高度是match_parent或者具体数值， 那么它的测量过程与View一致， 即高度为specSize;

      如果LinearLayout的布局中高度是wrap_content， 那么它的高度就是所有子元素所占用的高度总和， 但是仍然不能超过它的父容器的剩余空间，当然它的最终高度还需要考虑其在竖直方向的padding。

LinearLaout类中测量子类

    void measureChildBeforeLayout(View child, int childIndex,
            int widthMeasureSpec, int totalWidth, int heightMeasureSpec,
            int totalHeight) {
        measureChildWithMargins(child, widthMeasureSpec, totalWidth,
                heightMeasureSpec, totalHeight);
    }

　　实际上是调用父类ViewGroup的measureChildWithMargins()方法

    /**
     * Ask one of the children of this view to measure itself, taking into
     * account both the MeasureSpec requirements for this view and its padding
     * and margins. The child must have MarginLayoutParams The heavy lifting is
     * done in getChildMeasureSpec.
     *
     * @param child The child to measure
     * @param parentWidthMeasureSpec The width requirements for this view
     * @param widthUsed Extra space that has been used up by the parent
     *        horizontally (possibly by other children of the parent)
     * @param parentHeightMeasureSpec The height requirements for this view
     * @param heightUsed Extra space that has been used up by the parent
     *        vertically (possibly by other children of the parent)
     */
    protected void measureChildWithMargins(View child,
            int parentWidthMeasureSpec, int widthUsed,
            int parentHeightMeasureSpec, int heightUsed) {
        final MarginLayoutParams lp = (MarginLayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();

        final int childWidthMeasureSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(parentWidthMeasureSpec,
                mPaddingLeft + mPaddingRight + lp.leftMargin + lp.rightMargin
                        + widthUsed, lp.width);
        final int childHeightMeasureSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(parentHeightMeasureSpec,
                mPaddingTop + mPaddingBottom + lp.topMargin + lp.bottomMargin
                        + heightUsed, lp.height);

        child.measure(childWidthMeasureSpec, childHeightMeasureSpec);
    }

具体测量规格的创建是通过 getChildMeasureSpec()方法

    public static int getChildMeasureSpec(int spec, int padding, int childDimension) {
        int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(spec);
        int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(spec);

        int size = Math.max(0, specSize - padding);

        int resultSize = 0;
        int resultMode = 0;

        switch (specMode) {
        // Parent has imposed an exact size on us

对于DecorView, 其MeasureSpec由窗口和其自身的LaoyutParams来共同确定；

对于普通View，其MeasureSpec由父容器的MeasureSpec和自身的LayoutParams来共同决定。
