在Android开发中为了inflate一个布局文件，大体有2种方式，如下所示：
// 1. get a instance of LayoutInflater, then do whatever you want LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); // 2. you're in some View class, then just call View's static inflate method View.inflate(context, R.layout.xxx_xml, someViewGroup/null);
我们来看看这2种方式的具体源码：
<!-- View.java --> /** * Inflate a view from an XML resource. This convenience method wraps the {@link * LayoutInflater} class, which provides a full range of options for view inflation. * * @param context The Context object for your activity or application. * @param resource The resource ID to inflate * @param root A view group that will be the parent. Used to properly inflate the * layout_* parameters. * @see LayoutInflater */ public static View inflate(Context context, int resource, ViewGroup root) { LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(context); return factory.inflate(resource, root); } <!-- LayoutInflater.java --> /** * Obtains the LayoutInflater from the given context. */ public static LayoutInflater from(Context context) { LayoutInflater LayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); if (LayoutInflater == null) { throw new AssertionError("LayoutInflater not found."); } return LayoutInflater; }
现在我们看到实质上都是方法1中的做法，View.inflate只是个helper方法而已（少敲几行代码）。那么我们就先来看看
Context.getSystemService的具体实现，这里我们直接去ContextImpl.java文件中的相关代码：
/** * Override this class when the system service constructor needs a * ContextImpl. Else, use StaticServiceFetcher below. */ /*package*/ static class ServiceFetcher { int mContextCacheIndex = -1; /** * Main entrypoint; only override if you don't need caching. */ public Object getService(ContextImpl ctx) { ArrayList<Object> cache = ctx.mServiceCache; Object service; synchronized (cache) { if (cache.size() == 0) { // Initialize the cache vector on first access. // At this point sNextPerContextServiceCacheIndex // is the number of potential services that are // cached per-Context. for (int i = 0; i < sNextPerContextServiceCacheIndex; i++) { cache.add(null); } } else { service = cache.get(mContextCacheIndex); // 先从cache中找， if (service != null) { // 如果已经存在了直接返回 return service; } } service = createService(ctx); // 否则创建并加入到cache中，只会调用1次 cache.set(mContextCacheIndex, service); return service; } } /** * Override this to create a new per-Context instance of the * service. getService() will handle locking and caching. */ public Object createService(ContextImpl ctx) { throw new RuntimeException("Not implemented"); } } /** * Override this class for services to be cached process-wide. */ abstract static class StaticServiceFetcher extends ServiceFetcher { private Object mCachedInstance; @Override public final Object getService(ContextImpl unused) { synchronized (StaticServiceFetcher.this) { Object service = mCachedInstance; if (service != null) { return service; } return mCachedInstance = createStaticService(); } } public abstract Object createStaticService(); // 它不需要ContextImpl参数 } private static final HashMap<String, ServiceFetcher> SYSTEM_SERVICE_MAP = new HashMap<String, ServiceFetcher>(); // 全局system service的map private static int sNextPerContextServiceCacheIndex = 0; private static void registerService(String serviceName, ServiceFetcher fetcher) { if (!(fetcher instanceof StaticServiceFetcher)) { fetcher.mContextCacheIndex = sNextPerContextServiceCacheIndex++; } SYSTEM_SERVICE_MAP.put(serviceName, fetcher); // 放到全局的静态map中 }
// 还有很多registerService的调用，这里都省略了，我们现在只关心LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE registerService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE, new ServiceFetcher() { public Object createService(ContextImpl ctx) { // 我们前一篇文章中提到过会new一个 return PolicyManager.makeNewLayoutInflater(ctx.getOuterContext()); // PhoneLayoutInflater的对象返回 }});
到这里我们就清楚了Context.getSystemService方法的具体实现了，接下来我们将注意力转移到LayoutInflater类。关键代码如下：
/** * Obtains the LayoutInflater from the given context. */ public static LayoutInflater from(Context context) { LayoutInflater LayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); if (LayoutInflater == null) { throw new AssertionError("LayoutInflater not found."); } return LayoutInflater; } /** * Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified xml resource. Throws * {@link InflateException} if there is an error. * * @param resource ID for an XML layout resource to load (e.g., * <code>R.layout.main_page</code>) * @param root Optional view to be the parent of the generated hierarchy. * @return The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied, * this is the root View; otherwise it is the root of the inflated * XML file. */ public View inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root) { // 实际上调用3个参数的版本，从这里我们可以看出客户端代码 return inflate(resource, root, root != null); // 没必要这样写(root!= null)：inflate(resource, root, true); } /** * Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified xml node. Throws * {@link InflateException} if there is an error. * * <p> * <em><strong>Important</strong></em> For performance * reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files * that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to * use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime. * * @param parser XML dom node containing the description of the view * hierarchy. * @param root Optional view to be the parent of the generated hierarchy. * @return The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied, * this is the root View; otherwise it is the root of the inflated * XML file. */ public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, ViewGroup root) { // 不太常用，我们一般使用layout文件的版本，但实质都一样 return inflate(parser, root, root != null); // 下面的代码中inflate一个include tag时调用了此版本 } /** * Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified xml resource.

接下来我们看看inflate各种不同节点的方法：
/** * Recursive method used to descend down the xml hierarchy and instantiate * views, instantiate their children, and then call onFinishInflate(). */ void rInflate(XmlPullParser parser, View parent, final AttributeSet attrs, boolean finishInflate) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException { // 深度优先inflate，所有才能保证你在onFinish // Inflate()里可以通过findViewById找到已经创建完毕的孩子view final int depth = parser.getDepth(); int type; while (((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.END_TAG || parser.getDepth() > depth) && type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) { if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) { continue; } // 确保是一个START_TAG node final String name = parser.getName(); // 拿到tagName if (TAG_REQUEST_FOCUS.equals(name)) { // 处理REQUEST_FOCUS tag parseRequestFocus(parser, parent); } else if (TAG_INCLUDE.equals(name)) { // 处理include tag if (parser.getDepth() == 0) { // include节点不能是根节点，否则就抛异常了。。。 throw new InflateException("<include /> cannot be the root element"); } parseInclude(parser, parent, attrs); } else if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) { // merge节点必须是xml文件里的根节点，也就是说到这里的时候不应该再出现merge节点了 throw new InflateException("<merge /> must be the root element"); } else if (TAG_1995.equals(name)) { final View view = new BlinkLayout(mContext, attrs); final ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) parent; final ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = viewGroup.generateLayoutParams(attrs); rInflate(parser, view, attrs, true); viewGroup.addView(view, params); } else { // 一般情况，各种Android view、widget或用户自定义的view节点 final View view = createViewFromTag(parent, name, attrs); final ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) parent; final ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = viewGroup.generateLayoutParams(attrs); rInflate(parser, view, attrs, true); viewGroup.addView(view, params); } } if (finishInflate) parent.onFinishInflate(); // parent的所有孩子节点都inflate完毕的时候，调用onFinishInflate回调 } private void parseRequestFocus(XmlPullParser parser, View parent) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException { int type; parent.requestFocus(); final int currentDepth = parser.getDepth(); while (((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.END_TAG || // 忽略此节点剩下的所有内容，直到下一个新的START_TAG parser.getDepth() > currentDepth) && type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) { // Empty } } private void parseInclude(XmlPullParser parser, View parent, AttributeSet attrs) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException { int type; if (parent instanceof ViewGroup) { final int layout = attrs.getAttributeResourceValue(null, "layout", 0); // include节点中必须指定layout属性的值 if (layout == 0) { final String value = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "layout"); if (value == null) { throw new InflateException("You must specifiy a layout in the" + " include tag: <include layout="@layout/layoutID" />"); } else { throw new InflateException("You must specifiy a valid layout " + "reference.

If // they don't exist, we will rely on the layout params set in the // included XML file. // During a layoutparams generation, a runtime exception is thrown // if either layout_width or layout_height is missing. We catch // this exception and set localParams accordingly: true means we // successfully loaded layout params from the <include /> tag, // false means we need to rely on the included layout params. ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = null; try { params = group.generateLayoutParams(attrs); } catch (RuntimeException e) { params = group.generateLayoutParams(childAttrs); } finally { if (params != null) { view.setLayoutParams(params); // 设置其layoutParams } } // Inflate all children. rInflate(childParser, view, childAttrs, true); // 递归inflate剩下的节点 // Attempt to override the included layout's android:id with the // one set on the <include /> tag itself.

最后我们看看根据节点创建对应View的相关方法：
/* * default visibility so the BridgeInflater can override it. */ View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, AttributeSet attrs) { if (name.equals("view")) { name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class"); } if (DEBUG) System.out.println("******** Creating view: " + name); try { View view;
// 这里我们忽略掉了各种factory的onCreateView，有兴趣的读者可自行研究 if (mFactory2 != null) view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, mContext, attrs); else if (mFactory != null) view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, mContext, attrs); else view = null; if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) { view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, mContext, attrs); } if (view == null) { if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) { // 创建android.view.*里的任何view，如TextView，ImageView等等 view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs); // 其子类PhoneLayoutInflater override了此方法用来 } else { // 创建android.widget.*/android.webkit.*里的任何对象 view = createView(name, null, attrs); // 创建用户自定义的各种View(如com.xiaoweiz.browser.MyCustomView) } } if (DEBUG) System.out.println("Created view is: " + view); return view; } catch (InflateException e) { throw e; } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription() + ": Error inflating class " + name); ie.initCause(e); throw ie; } catch (Exception e) { InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription() + ": Error inflating class " + name); ie.initCause(e); throw ie; } } /** * Low-level function for instantiating a view by name.

至此我们已经将LayoutInflater.inflate的关键代码分析完毕了。
