本篇文章的起点是从 Activity的 setContentView方法说起。我先放一张加载布局的时序图，布局加载涉及的类相对比较少一些。

1. Activity#setContentView()

public void setContentView(@LayoutRes int layoutResID) 
    getWindow().setContentView(layoutResID);
    initWindowDecorActionBar();

这里 getWindow() 返回的是 Window 类型的，它是一个抽象类，变量名为 mWindow,之前看过我写的 Activity 启动流程的应该知道，它是在 Activity的 attach方法中初始化的，可以看下面的代码：

Activity#attach

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) 
    attachBaseContext(context);

    mFragments.attachHost(null /*parent*/);

    mWindow = new PhoneWindow(this, window, activityConfigCallback);
    mWindow.setWindowControllerCallback(this);
    mWindow.setCallback(this);
    mWindow.setOnWindowDismissedCallback(this);

创建出实现类 PhoneWindow,其实 Window 也只有一个实现类就是 PhoneWindow. 接下来，就到了 PhoneWindow 的setContentView 方法中了，继续跟进。

2. PhoneWindow#setContentView

@Override
public void setContentView(int layoutResID) 
    // Note: FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS may be set in the process of installing the window
    // decor, when theme attributes and the like are crystalized. Do not check the feature
    // before this happens.
    if (mContentParent == null) 
        installDecor();//------------------->2
     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);//------------------->2
    
    mContentParent.requestApplyInsets();
    final Callback cb = getCallback();
    if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) 
        cb.onContentChanged();
    
    mContentParentExplicitlySet = true;

注释1处是对 DecorView 进行初始化，这个不是我们本篇文档的重点，我们看下注释2 是用 LayoutInflater 对我们的资源id 进行加载：

3.LayoutInflater#inflate

public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root) 
    return inflate(resource, root, root != null);

两个参数的会调用三个参数的方法，其中 第三个参数的话肯定就是 true了，因为我们上面穿了 mContentParent，这个值会在 installDecor 方法中进行初始化的。

public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) 
    final Resources res = getContext().getResources();
    if (DEBUG) 
        Log.d(TAG, "INFLATING from resource: "" + res.getResourceName(resource) + "" ("
                + Integer.toHexString(resource) + ")");
    

    final XmlResourceParser parser = res.getLayout(resource);
    try 
        return inflate(parser, root, attachToRoot);
     finally 
        parser.close();
    

XMLResourceParser 负责加载解析我们 xml ,最后交给 inflate 方法，我曾经在 解决布局加载那些奇奇怪怪的事 中对这部分代码做过详细的解释，在里面的 createViewFromTag 方法中，对 View 进行反射，看下代码：

View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
        boolean ignoreThemeAttr) 
    if (name.equals("view")) 
        name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class");
    

    // Apply a theme wrapper, if allowed and one is specified.
    if (!ignoreThemeAttr) 
        final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
        final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
        if (themeResId != 0) 
            context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
        
        ta.recycle();
    

    if (name.equals(TAG_1995)) 
        // Let's party like it's 1995!
        return new BlinkLayout(context, attrs);
    

    ...
        View view;
        if (mFactory2 != null) //------------->1
            view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
         else if (mFactory != null) //------------>2
            view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, context, attrs);
         else 
            view = null;
        

        if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) 
            view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
        

        if (view == null) 
            final Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
            mConstructorArgs[0] = context;
            try 
                if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) //----------->3
                    view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
                 else //----------------->4
                    view = createView(name, null, attrs);
                
             finally 
                mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
            
        

        return view;
    ...

注释1：判断是否设置了 mFactory2 ; 注释2：判断是否设置了 mFactory; 如果我们设置了 Factory ,就会调用相应的 onCreateView 方法，利用它我们可以做很多事情，像统计布局控件的绘制速度，全局替换某个控件等，这个我在后面文章会介绍它的使用。 注释3：判断我们在xml 中的控件是否自定义控件，如果是自定义控件的话，一般我们都是 xxx.MyView 一定会包含 .,如果含有的话就是自定义控件，否则就是进入注释4，系统控件，例如：TextView 这样，进入 createView 方法：

public final View createView(String name, String prefix, AttributeSet attrs)
        throws ClassNotFoundException, InflateException 
    Constructor<? extends View> constructor = sConstructorMap.get(name);
    if (constructor != null && !verifyClassLoader(constructor)) 
        constructor = null;
        sConstructorMap.remove(name);
    
    Class<? extends View> clazz = null;

    try 
        Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, name);

        if (constructor == null) 
            // Class not found in the cache, see if it's real, and try to add it
            clazz = mContext.getClassLoader().loadClass(
                    prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name).asSubclass(View.class);

            if (mFilter != null && clazz != null) 
                boolean allowed = mFilter.onLoadClass(clazz);
                if (!allowed) 
                    failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
                
            
            constructor = clazz.getConstructor(mConstructorSignature);
            constructor.setAccessible(true);
            sConstructorMap.put(name, constructor);
         else 
            // If we have a filter, apply it to cached constructor
            if (mFilter != null) 
                // Have we seen this name before?
                Boolean allowedState = mFilterMap.get(name);
                if (allowedState == null) 
                    // New class -- remember whether it is allowed
                    clazz = mContext.getClassLoader().loadClass(
                            prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name).asSubclass(View.class);

                    boolean allowed = clazz != null && mFilter.onLoadClass(clazz);
                    mFilterMap.put(name, allowed);
                    if (!allowed) 
                        failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
                    
                 else if (allowedState.equals(Boolean.FALSE)) 
                    failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
                
            
        

        Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
        if (mConstructorArgs[0] == null) 
            // Fill in the context if not already within inflation.
            mConstructorArgs[0] = mContext;
        
        Object[] args = mConstructorArgs;
        args[1] = attrs;

        final View view = constructor.newInstance(args);
        if (view instanceof ViewStub) 
            // Use the same context when inflating ViewStub later.
            final ViewStub viewStub = (ViewStub) view;
            viewStub.setLayoutInflater(cloneInContext((Context) args[0]));
        
        mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
        return view;

    ...

可以看到我们对 View 最终是通过反射创建出来的，并且对View进行了缓存.

sConstructorMap.put(name, constructor);
