App加载dex文件源码分析
App加载dex文件是通过PathClassLoader,我们就来看看它的源码。本人看的是7.0的源码,其他的版本的没有看,有兴趣的,可以去看看。
1,我们首先找到PathClassLoader源码打开,如下代码:
可以看到PathClassLoader里面,挺简单的,它继承BaseDexClassLoader
package dalvik.system;
/** * Provides a simple {@link ClassLoader} implementation that operates on a list
* of files and directories in the local file system, but does not attempt to
* load classes from the network. Android uses this class for its system class
* loader and for its application class loader(s).
*/
public class PathClassLoader extends BaseDexClassLoader {
/**
* Creates a {@code PathClassLoader} that operates on a given list of files
* and directories. This method is equivalent to calling
* {@link #PathClassLoader(String, String, ClassLoader)} with a
* {@code null} value for the second argument (see description there).
*
* @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
* resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
* defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
* @param parent the parent class loader
*/
public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, ClassLoader parent) {
super(dexPath, null, null, parent);
}
/**
* Creates a {@code PathClassLoader} that operates on two given
* lists of files and directories. The entries of the first list
* should be one of the following:
*
* <ul>
* <li>JAR/ZIP/APK files, possibly containing a "classes.dex" file as
* well as arbitrary resources.
* <li>Raw ".dex" files (not inside a zip file).
* </ul>
*
* The entries of the second list should be directories containing
* native library files.
*
* @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
* resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
* defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
* @param librarySearchPath the list of directories containing native
* libraries, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}; may be
* {@code null}
* @param parent the parent class loader
*/
public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, String librarySearchPath, ClassLoader parent) {
super(dexPath, null, librarySearchPath, parent);
}
}
2,我们点开BaseDexClassLoader,代码如下:
可以看到PathClassLoader,它是去调用BaseDexClassLoader里面的findClass方法,但是方法里面又去调用pathList的findClass方法 。而我们看到pathList是DexPathList的对象。
public class BaseDexClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
//pathList成员变量
private final DexPathList pathList;
/**
* Constructs an instance.
*
* @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
* resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
* defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
* @param optimizedDirectory directory where optimized dex files
* should be written; may be {@code null}
* @param librarySearchPath the list of directories containing native
* libraries, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}; may be
* {@code null}
* @param parent the parent class loader
*/
public BaseDexClassLoader(String dexPath, File optimizedDirectory,
String librarySearchPath, ClassLoader parent) {
super(parent);
this.pathList = new DexPathList(this, dexPath, librarySearchPath, optimizedDirectory);
}
//当调用PathClassLoader,它去调用此方法,查找需要的类名
@Override
protected Class<?> findClass(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException {
List<Throwable> suppressedExceptions = new ArrayList<Throwable>();
//可以看到是由pathList再去调用findClass方法。
Class c = pathList.findClass(name, suppressedExceptions);
if (c == null) {
ClassNotFoundException cnfe = new ClassNotFoundException("Didn't find class \"" + name + "\" on path: " + pathList);
for (Throwable t : suppressedExceptions) {
cnfe.addSuppressed(t);
}
throw cnfe;
}
return c;
}
/**
* @hide
*/
public void addDexPath(String dexPath) {
pathList.addDexPath(dexPath, null /*optimizedDirectory*/);
}
@Override
protected URL findResource(String name) {
return pathList.findResource(name);
}
@Override
protected Enumeration<URL> findResources(String name) {
return pathList.findResources(name);
}
@Override
public String findLibrary(String name) {
return pathList.findLibrary(name);
}
/**
* Returns package information for the given package.
* Unfortunately, instances of this class don't really have this
* information, and as a non-secure {@code ClassLoader}, it isn't
* even required to, according to the spec. Yet, we want to
* provide it, in order to make all those hopeful callers of
* {@code myClass.getPackage().getName()} happy. Thus we construct
* a {@code Package} object the first time it is being requested
* and fill most of the fields with dummy values. The {@code
* Package} object is then put into the {@code ClassLoader}'s
* package cache, so we see the same one next time. We don't
* create {@code Package} objects for {@code null} arguments or
* for the default package.
*
* <p>There is a limited chance that we end up with multiple
* {@code Package} objects representing the same package: It can
* happen when when a package is scattered across different JAR
* files which were loaded by different {@code ClassLoader}
* instances. This is rather unlikely, and given that this whole
* thing is more or less a workaround, probably not worth the
* effort to address.
*
* @param name the name of the class
* @return the package information for the class, or {@code null}
* if there is no package information available for it
*/
@Override
protected synchronized Package getPackage(String name) {
if (name != null && !name.isEmpty()) {
Package pack = super.getPackage(name);
if (pack == null) {
pack = definePackage(name, "Unknown", "0.0", "Unknown",
"Unknown", "0.0", "Unknown", null);
}
return pack;
}
return null;
}
/**
* @hide
*/
public String getLdLibraryPath() {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for (File directory : pathList.getNativeLibraryDirectories()) {
if (result.length() > 0) {
result.append(':');
}
result.append(directory);
}
return result.toString();
}
@Override public String toString() {
return getClass().getName() + "[" + pathList + "]";
}
}
3,我们点击开DexPathList进去看看,代码如下:
所以最后是调用DexPathList里面的findClass方法,在里面对dexElements数组进行遍历dex,加载。
final class DexPathList {
//................这里为了简洁,无关的代码就省略了....................
/**
* List of dex/resource (class path) elements.
* Should be called pathElements, but the Facebook app uses reflection
* to modify 'dexElements' (http://b/7726934).
*/
//这里是一个数组,里面存放的就是dex文件
private Element[] dexElements;
//....................省略不相干的代码.............................
/**
* Finds the named class in one of the dex files pointed at by
* this instance. This will find the one in the earliest listed
* path element. If the class is found but has not yet been
* defined, then this method will define it in the defining
* context that this instance was constructed with.
*
* @param name of class to find
* @param suppressed exceptions encountered whilst finding the class
* @return the named class or {@code null} if the class is not
* found in any of the dex files
*/
//pathList调用的是这里的findClass方法。
public Class findClass(String name, List<Throwable> suppressed) {
//遍历dex文件加载
for (Element element : dexElements) {
DexFile dex = element.dexFile;
if (dex != null) {
Class clazz = dex.loadClassBinaryName(name, definingContext, suppressed);
if (clazz != null) {
return clazz;
}
}
}
if (dexElementsSuppressedExceptions != null) {
suppressed.addAll(Arrays.asList(dexElementsSuppressedExceptions));
}
return null;
}
//....................省略不相干的代码.............................
}
