Android的四大元件中除了BroadCastReceiver以外，其他三種元件都必須在AndroidManifest中註冊，對於BroadCastReceiver來說，它既可以在AndroidManifest中註冊也可以通過程式碼來註冊，在呼叫方式上，Activity、Service和BroadCastReceiver需要藉助Intent，而ContentProvider則無需藉助Intent。
Activity是一種展示型元件，用於向使用者直接展示一個介面，並且可以接收使用者的輸入資訊從而進行互動，對於使用者來說，Activity就是一個Android應用的全部，這是因為其他三大元件對使用者來說都是不可感知的。Activity的啟動由Intent觸發，其中Intent可以分為顯式Intent和隱式Intent，顯式Intent可以明確地指向一個Activity元件，隱式Intent則指向一個或多個目標Activity元件，當然也有可能沒有一個Activity元件處理這個Intent。
Activity的工作過程
要分析Activity的啟動過程，就需要從startActivity方法開始分析，startActivity方法有好幾種過載方式，但是最終都會呼叫startActivityForResult方法，具體程式碼如下：
/**
* @hide
*/
@Override
public void startActivityForResult(
String who, Intent intent, int requestCode, @Nullable Bundle options) {
Uri referrer = onProvideReferrer();
if (referrer != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER, referrer);
}
options = transferSpringboardActivityOptions(options);
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, who,
intent, requestCode, options);
if (ar != null) {
mMainThread.sendActivityResult(
mToken, who, requestCode,
ar.getResultCode(), ar.getResultData());
}
cancelInputsAndStartExitTransition(options);
}在上面程式碼中，要注意的是mMainThread.getApplicationThread()這個引數，它的型別是ApplicationThread，ApplicationThread是ActivityThread的一個內部類，其實可以知道的是，ApplicationThread和ActivityThread在Activity啟動過程中發揮著重要的作用。然後看下 mInstrumentation.execStartActivity方法，程式碼如下：
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
Uri referrer = target != null ? target.onProvideReferrer() : null;
if (referrer != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER, referrer);
}
if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
synchronized (mSync) {
final int N = mActivityMonitors.size();
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
final ActivityMonitor am = mActivityMonitors.get(i);
if (am.match(who, null, intent)) {
am.mHits++;
if (am.isBlocking()) {
return requestCode >= 0 ? am.getResult() : null;
}
break;
}
}
}
}
try {
intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(who);
int result = ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failure from system", e);
}
return null;
}從上面程式碼中可以看出，啟動Activity真正的實現由ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()的startActivity方法來完成的，ActivityManagerService（簡稱AMS）繼承自ActivityManagerNative，而ActivityManagerNative繼承自Binder並實現了IActivityManager這個Binder介面，因此AMS也是一個Binder，它是IActivityManager的具體實現，其實ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()具體得到是AMS，在ActivityManagerNative中，AMS這個Binder物件採用單例模式對外提供，第一次呼叫它的get方法時它會通過create方法來初始化AMS這個Binder物件，在後續的呼叫中則直接返回之前建立的物件。這個過程原始碼如下：
/**
* Retrieve the system's default/global activity manager.
*/
static public IActivityManager getDefault() {
return gDefault.get();
}
private static final Singleton<IActivityManager> gDefault = new Singleton<IActivityManager>(){
protected IActivityManager create() {
IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService("activity");
if (false) {
Log.v("ActivityManager", "default service binder = " + b);
}
IActivityManager am = asInterface(b);
if (false) {
Log.v("ActivityManager", "default service = " + am);
}
return am;
}
};
看到其中的原始碼，可以得知，Activity的啟動過程又轉移到AMS中，最終只需要分析AMS中的startActivity方法即可。同時，我們也在execStartActivity方法中看到這麼一句：checkStartActivityResult(result, intent)，直觀應該是啟動Activity的結果，具體實現如下：
/** @hide */
public static void checkStartActivityResult(int res, Object intent) {
if (res >= ActivityManager.START_SUCCESS) {
return;
}
switch (res) {
case ActivityManager.START_INTENT_NOT_RESOLVED:
case ActivityManager.START_CLASS_NOT_FOUND:
if (intent instanceof Intent && ((Intent)intent).getComponent() != null)
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"Unable to find explicit activity class "
+ ((Intent)intent).getComponent().toShortString()
+ "; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?");
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"No Activity found to handle " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_PERMISSION_DENIED:
throw new SecurityException("Not allowed to start activity "
+ intent);
case ActivityManager.START_FORWARD_AND_REQUEST_CONFLICT:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(
"FORWARD_RESULT_FLAG used while also requesting a result");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_ACTIVITY:
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"PendingIntent is not an activity");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_VOICE_COMPATIBLE:
throw new SecurityException(
"Starting under voice control not allowed for: " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_NOT_ACTIVE_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Session calling startVoiceActivity does not match active session");
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_HIDDEN_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Cannot start voice activity on a hidden session");
case ActivityManager.START_CANCELED:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Activity could not be started for "
+ intent);
default:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Unknown error code "
+ res + " when starting " + intent);
}
}作用很明顯，就是檢查啟動Activity的結果，當無法正確地啟動一個Activity時，這個方法會丟擲異常資訊，最熟悉的錯誤就是Unable to find explicit activity class，have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?，當啟動的Activity沒有在AndroidManifest中註冊時，就會丟擲這個異常。
現在看AMS的startActivity這個方法：
@Override
public final int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions) {
return startActivityAsUser(caller, callingPackage, intent, resolvedType, resultTo,
resultWho, requestCode, startFlags, profilerInfo, bOptions,
UserHandle.getCallingUserId());
}
@Override
public final int startActivityAsUser(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,
int startFlags, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo, Bundle bOptions, int userId) {
enforceNotIsolatedCaller("startActivity");
userId = mUserController.handleIncomingUser(Binder.getCallingPid(), Binder.getCallingUid(),
userId, false, ALLOW_FULL_ONLY, "startActivity", null);
// TODO: Switch to user app stacks here.
return mActivityStarter.startActivityMayWait(caller, -1, callingPackage, intent,
resolvedType, null, null, resultTo, resultWho, requestCode, startFlags,
profilerInfo, null, null, bOptions, false, userId, null, null);
}從中可以看出，Activity的啟動過程又轉移到mActivityStarter.startActivityMayWait的方法上，在startActivityMayWait方法中又呼叫了startActivityLocked方法，然後startActivityLocked方法又呼叫了startActivityUncheckedLocked方法，最後呼叫了ActivityStack的resumeTopActivitiesLocked，此時啟動過程轉移到ActivityStack上。
總結一下，這其中走的流程圖如下：
最終，通過原始碼分析，從IApplicationThread宣告方法可以看出，內部包含了大量的啟動、停止Activity的介面，此外還包含了啟動和停止服務的介面。那麼IApplicationThread的實現者到底是什麼，答案就是ActivityThread內部的ApplicationThread，ApplicationThread的定義如下：
public interface IApplicationThread extends IInterface{
......//省略一部分程式碼
}我們可以看到IInterface介面有個型別IBinder：
/**
* Base class for Binder interfaces. When defining a new interface,
* you must derive it from IInterface.
*/
public interface IInterface
{
/**
* Retrieve the Binder object associated with this interface.
* You must use this instead of a plain cast, so that proxy objects
* can return the correct result.
*/
public IBinder asBinder();
}
最終是通過Binder通訊，系統為AIDL檔案自動生成的程式碼，同時還有會一個ApplicationThreadProxy類，這個類其實AIDL檔案自動生成的代理類，進而最終Activity的啟動過程最終回到ApplicationThread中。ApplicationThread通過scheduleLaunchActivity方法啟動Activity。
// we use token to identify this activity without having to send the
// activity itself back to the activity manager. (matters more with ipc)
@Override
public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, int ident,
ActivityInfo info, Configuration curConfig, Configuration overrideConfig,
CompatibilityInfo compatInfo, String referrer, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor,
int procState, Bundle state, PersistableBundle persistentState,
List<ResultInfo> pendingResults, List<ReferrerIntent> pendingNewIntents,
boolean notResumed, boolean isForward, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo) {
updateProcessState(procState, false);
ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord();
r.token = token;
r.ident = ident;
r.intent = intent;
r.referrer = referrer;
r.voiceInteractor = voiceInteractor;
r.activityInfo = info;
r.compatInfo = compatInfo;
r.state = state;
r.persistentState = persistentState;
r.pendingResults = pendingResults;
r.pendingIntents = pendingNewIntents;
r.startsNotResumed = notResumed;
r.isForward = isForward;
r.profilerInfo = profilerInfo;
r.overrideConfig = overrideConfig;
updatePendingConfiguration(curConfig);
sendMessage(H.LAUNCH_ACTIVITY, r);
}具體實現很簡單，就是傳送一個啟動Activity的訊息交由Handler處理，交給H處理，這個H具體類的原始碼：

進而performLaunchActivity方法最終完成了Activity物件的建立和啟動過程，並且ActivityThread通過handleResumeActivity方法來呼叫被啟動Activity的onResume這一生命週期方法。
那麼performLaunchActivity方法主要完成如下幾件事：
- 從ActivityClientRecord中獲取啟動的Activity的元件資訊
- 通過Instrumentation的newActivity方法使用類載入器建立Activity物件
- 通過LoadedApk的makeApplication方法來嘗試建立Application物件。值得注意的是在makeApplication方法中如果Application已經被建立過了，那麼就不會再重複建立了，這也意味著一個應用只有一個Application物件。同時，Application建立完畢後，系統會呼叫Application的onCreate方法。
- 建立ContextImpl物件並通過Activity的attach方法來完成一些重要資料的初始化
- 呼叫Activity的onCreate方法
原始碼如下：
private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
// System.out.println("##### [" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "] ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(" + r + ")");
ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo;
if (r.packageInfo == null) {
