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

* 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
} /**
