Android应用程序发送广播(sendBroadcast)的过程分析
前面我们分析了Android应用程序注册广播接收器的过程,这个过程只完成了万里长征的第一步,接下来它还要等待ActivityManagerService将广播分发过来。ActivityManagerService是如何得到广播并把它分发出去的呢?这就是本文要介绍的广播发送过程了。

广播的发送过程比广播接收器的注册过程要复杂得多了,不过这个过程仍然是以ActivityManagerService为中心。广播的发送者将广播发送到ActivityManagerService,ActivityManagerService接收到这个广播以后,就会在自己的注册中心查看有哪些广播接收器订阅了该广播,然后把这个广播逐一发送到这些广播接收器中,但是ActivityManagerService并不等待广播接收器处理这些广播就返回了,因此,广播的发送和处理是异步的。概括来说,广播的发送路径就是从发送者到ActivityManagerService,再从ActivityManagerService到接收者,这中间的两个过程都是通过Binder进程间通信机制来完成的,因此,希望读者在继续阅读本文之前,对Android系统的Binder进程间通信机制有所了解,具体可以参考Android进程间通信(IPC)机制Binder简要介绍和学习计划一文。
本文继续以Android系统中的广播(Broadcast)机制简要介绍和学习计划一文中所开发的应用程序为例子,并且结合上文Android应用程序注册广播接收器(registerReceiver)的过程分析的内容,一起来分析Android应用程序发送广播的过程。
回顾一下Android系统中的广播(Broadcast)机制简要介绍和学习计划一文中所开发的应用程序的组织架构,MainActivity向ActivityManagerService注册了一个CounterService.BROADCAST_COUNTER_ACTION类型的计数器服务广播接收器,计数器服务CounterService在后台线程中启动了一个异步任务(AsyncTask),这个异步任务负责不断地增加计数,并且不断地将当前计数值通过广播的形式发送出去,以便MainActivity可以将当前计数值在应用程序的界面线程中显示出来。
计数器服务CounterService发送广播的代码如下所示:
public class CounterService extends Service implements ICounterService { ...... public void startCounter(int initVal) { AsyncTask<Integer, Integer, Integer> task = new AsyncTask<Integer, Integer, Integer>() { @Override protected Integer doInBackground(Integer... vals) { ...... } @Override protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) { super.onProgressUpdate(values); int counter = values[0]; Intent intent = new Intent(BROADCAST_COUNTER_ACTION); intent.putExtra(COUNTER_VALUE, counter); sendBroadcast(intent); } @Override protected void onPostExecute(Integer val) { ...... } }; task.execute(0); } ...... }在onProgressUpdate函数中,创建了一个BROADCAST_COUNTER_ACTION类型的Intent,并且在这里个Intent中附加上当前的计数器值,然后通过CounterService类的成员函数sendBroadcast将这个Intent发送出去。CounterService类继承了Service类,Service类又继承了ContextWrapper类,成员函数sendBroadcast就是从ContextWrapper类继承下来的,因此,我们就从ContextWrapper类的sendBroadcast函数开始,分析广播发送的过程。
在继承分析广播的发送过程前,我们先来看一下广播发送过程的序列图,然后按照这个序图中的步骤来一步一步分析整个过程。
Step 1. ContextWrapper.sendBroadcast
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/ContextWrapper.java文件中:
public class ContextWrapper extends Context { Context mBase; ...... @Override public void sendBroadcast(Intent intent) { mBase.sendBroadcast(intent); } ...... }这里的成员变量mBase是一个ContextImpl实例,这里只简单地调用ContextImpl.sendBroadcast进一行操作。
Step 2. ContextImpl.sendBroadcast
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ContextImpl.java文件中:
class ContextImpl extends Context { ...... @Override public void sendBroadcast(Intent intent) { String resolvedType = intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(getContentResolver()); try { ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().broadcastIntent( mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), intent, resolvedType, null, Activity.RESULT_OK, null, null, null, false, false); } catch (RemoteException e) { } } ...... }这里的resolvedType表示这个Intent的MIME类型,我们没有设置这个Intent的MIME类型,因此,这里的resolvedType为null。接下来就调用ActivityManagerService的远程接口ActivityManagerProxy把这个广播发送给ActivityManagerService了。
Step 3. ActivityManagerProxy.broadcastIntent
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityManagerNative.java文件中:
class ActivityManagerProxy implements IActivityManager { ...... public int broadcastIntent(IApplicationThread caller, Intent intent, String resolvedType, IIntentReceiver resultTo, int resultCode, String resultData, Bundle map, String requiredPermission, boolean serialized, boolean sticky) throws RemoteException { Parcel data = Parcel.obtain(); Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain(); data.writeInterfaceToken(IActivityManager.descriptor); data.writeStrongBinder(caller != null ? caller.asBinder() : null); intent.writeToParcel(data, 0); data.writeString(resolvedType); data.writeStrongBinder(resultTo != null ? resultTo.asBinder() : null); data.writeInt(resultCode); data.writeString(resultData); data.writeBundle(map); data.writeString(requiredPermission); data.writeInt(serialized ? 1 : 0); data.writeInt(sticky ? 1 : 0); mRemote.transact(BROADCAST_INTENT_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0); reply.readException(); int res = reply.readInt(); reply.recycle(); data.recycle(); return res; } ...... }这里的实现比较简单,把要传递的参数封装好,然后通过Binder驱动程序进入到ActivityManagerService的broadcastIntent函数中。
Step 4. ctivityManagerService.broadcastIntent
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中:
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback { ...... public final int broadcastIntent(IApplicationThread caller, Intent intent, String resolvedType, IIntentReceiver resultTo, int resultCode, String resultData, Bundle map, String requiredPermission, boolean serialized, boolean sticky) { synchronized(this) { intent = verifyBroadcastLocked(intent); final ProcessRecord callerApp = getRecordForAppLocked(caller); final int callingPid = Binder.getCallingPid(); final int callingUid = Binder.getCallingUid(); final long origId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity(); int res = broadcastIntentLocked(callerApp, callerApp != null ? callerApp.info.packageName : null, intent, resolvedType, resultTo, resultCode, resultData, map, requiredPermission, serialized, sticky, callingPid, callingUid); Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(origId); return res; } } ...... }这里调用broadcastIntentLocked函数来进一步处理。
Step 5. ActivityManagerService.broadcastIntentLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中:
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback { ...... private final int broadcastIntentLocked(ProcessRecord callerApp, String callerPackage, Intent intent, String resolvedType, IIntentReceiver resultTo, int resultCode, String resultData, Bundle map, String requiredPermission, boolean ordered, boolean sticky, int callingPid, int callingUid) { intent = new Intent(intent); ...... // Figure out who all will receive this broadcast. List receivers = null; List<BroadcastFilter> registeredReceivers = null; try { if (intent.getComponent() != null) { ...... } else { ...... registeredReceivers = mReceiverResolver.queryIntent(intent, resolvedType, false); } } catch (RemoteException ex) { ...... } final boolean replacePending = (intent.getFlags()&Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING) != 0; int NR = registeredReceivers != null ? registeredReceivers.size() : 0; if (!ordered && NR > 0) { // If we are not serializing this broadcast, then send the // registered receivers separately so they don't wait for the // components to be launched. BroadcastRecord r = new BroadcastRecord(intent, callerApp, callerPackage, callingPid, callingUid, requiredPermission, registeredReceivers, resultTo, resultCode, resultData, map, ordered, sticky, false); ...... boolean replaced = false; if (replacePending) { for (int i=mParallelBroadcasts.size()-1; i>=0; i--) { if (intent.filterEquals(mParallelBroadcasts.get(i).intent)) { ...... mParallelBroadcasts.set(i, r); replaced = true; break; } } } if (!replaced) { mParallelBroadcasts.add(r); scheduleBroadcastsLocked(); } registeredReceivers = null; NR = 0; } ...... } ...... }这个函数首先是根据intent找出相应的广播接收器:
// Figure out who all will receive this broadcast. List receivers = null; List<BroadcastFilter> registeredReceivers = null; try { if (intent.getComponent() != null) { ...... } else { ...... registeredReceivers = mReceiverResolver.queryIntent(intent, resolvedType, false); } } catch (RemoteException ex) { ...... }回忆一下前面一篇文章Android应用程序注册广播接收器(registerReceiver)的过程分析中的Step 6(ActivityManagerService.registerReceiver)中,我们将一个filter类型为BROADCAST_COUNTER_ACTION类型的BroadcastFilter实例保存在了ActivityManagerService的成员变量mReceiverResolver中,这个BroadcastFilter实例包含了我们所注册的广播接收器,这里就通过mReceiverResolver.queryIntent函数将这个BroadcastFilter实例取回来。由于注册一个广播类型的接收器可能有多个,所以这里把所有符合条件的的BroadcastFilter实例放在一个List中,然后返回来。在我们这个场景中,这个List就只有一个BroadcastFilter实例了,就是MainActivity注册的那个广播接收器。
继续往下看:
final boolean replacePending = (intent.getFlags()&Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING) != 0;这里是查看一下这个intent的Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING位有没有设置,如果设置了的话,ActivityManagerService就会在当前的系统中查看有没有相同的intent还未被处理,如果有的话,就有当前这个新的intent来替换旧的intent。这里,我们没有设置intent的Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING位,因此,这里的replacePending变量为false。
再接着往下看:
int NR = registeredReceivers != null ? registeredReceivers.size() : 0; if (!ordered && NR > 0) { // If we are not serializing this broadcast, then send the // registered receivers separately so they don't wait for the // components to be launched. BroadcastRecord r = new BroadcastRecord(intent, callerApp, callerPackage, callingPid, callingUid, requiredPermission, registeredReceivers, resultTo, resultCode, resultData, map, ordered, sticky, false); ...... boolean replaced = false; if (replacePending) { for (int i=mParallelBroadcasts.size()-1; i>=0; i--) { if (intent.filterEquals(mParallelBroadcasts.get(i).intent)) { ...... mParallelBroadcasts.set(i, r); replaced = true; break; } } } if (!replaced) { mParallelBroadcasts.add(r); scheduleBroadcastsLocked(); } registeredReceivers = null; NR = 0; }前面我们说到,这里得到的列表registeredReceivers的大小为1,且传进来的参数ordered为false,表示要将这个广播发送给所有注册了BROADCAST_COUNTER_ACTION类型广播的接收器,因此,会执行下面的if语句。这个if语句首先创建一个广播记录块BroadcastRecord,里面记录了这个广播是由谁发出的以及要发给谁等相关信息。由于前面得到的replacePending变量为false,因此,不会执行接下来的if语句,即不会检查系统中是否有相同类型的未处理的广播。
这样,这里得到的replaced变量的值也为false,于是,就会把这个广播记录块r放在ActivityManagerService的成员变量mParcelBroadcasts中,等待进一步处理;进一步处理的操作由函数scheduleBroadcastsLocked进行。
Step 6. ActivityManagerService.scheduleBroadcastsLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中:
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback { ...... private final void scheduleBroadcastsLocked() { ...... if (mBroadcastsScheduled) { return; } mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(BROADCAST_INTENT_MSG); mBroadcastsScheduled = true; } ...... }这里的mBroadcastsScheduled表示ActivityManagerService当前是不是正在处理其它广播,如果是的话,这里就先不处理直接返回了,保证所有广播串行处理。
注意这里处理广播的方式,它是通过消息循环来处理,每当ActivityManagerService接收到一个广播时,它就把这个广播放进自己的消息队列去就完事了,根本不管这个广播后续是处理的,因此,这里我们可以看出广播的发送和处理是异步的。
这里的成员变量mHandler是一个在ActivityManagerService内部定义的Handler类变量,通过它的sendEmptyMessage函数把一个类型为BROADCAST_INTENT_MSG的空消息放进ActivityManagerService的消息队列中去。这里的空消息是指这个消息除了有类型信息之外,没有任何其它额外的信息,因为前面已经把要处理的广播信息都保存在mParcelBroadcasts中了,等处理这个消息时,从mParcelBroadcasts就可以读回相关的广播信息了,因此,这里不需要把广播信息再放在消息内容中。
Step 7. Handler.sendEmptyMessage
这个自定义的Handler类实现在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中,它是ActivityManagerService的内部类,调用了它的sendEmptyMessage函数来把一个消息放到消息队列后,一会就会调用它的handleMessage函数来真正处理这个消息:
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback { ...... final Handler mHandler = new Handler() { public void handleMessage(Message msg) { switch (msg.what) { ...... case BROADCAST_INTENT_MSG: { ...... processNextBroadcast(true); } break; ...... } } } ...... }这里又调用了ActivityManagerService的processNextBroadcast函数来处理下一个未处理的广播。
Step 8. ActivityManagerService.processNextBroadcast
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中:
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback { ...... private final void processNextBroadcast(boolean fromMsg) { synchronized(this) { BroadcastRecord r; ...... if (fromMsg) { mBroadcastsScheduled = false; } // First, deliver any non-serialized broadcasts right away. while (mParallelBroadcasts.size() > 0) { r = mParallelBroadcasts.remove(0); ...... final int N = r.receivers.size(); ...... for (int i=0; i<N; i++) { Object target = r.receivers.get(i); ...... deliverToRegisteredReceiverLocked(r, (BroadcastFilter)target, false); } addBroadcastToHistoryLocked(r); ...... } ...... } } ...... }这里传进来的参数fromMsg为true,于是把mBroadcastScheduled重新设为false,这样,下一个广播就能进入到消息队列中进行处理了。前面我们在Step 5中,把一个广播记录块BroadcastRecord放在了mParallelBroadcasts中,因此,这里就把它取出来进行处理了。广播记录块BroadcastRecord的receivers列表中包含了要接收这个广播的目标列表,即前面我们注册的广播接收器,用BroadcastFilter来表示,这里while循环中的for循环就是把这个广播发送给每一个订阅了该广播的接收器了,通过deliverToRegisteredReceiverLocked函数执行。
Step 9. ActivityManagerService.deliverToRegisteredReceiverLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中:
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback { ...... private final void deliverToRegisteredReceiverLocked(BroadcastRecord r, BroadcastFilter filter, boolean ordered) { boolean skip = false; if (filter.requiredPermission != null) { ...... } if (r.requiredPermission != null) { ...... } if (!skip) { // If this is not being sent as an ordered broadcast, then we // don't want to touch the fields that keep track of the current // state of ordered broadcasts. if (ordered) { ...... } try { ...... performReceiveLocked(filter.receiverList.app, filter.receiverList.receiver, new Intent(r.intent), r.resultCode, r.resultData, r.resultExtras, r.ordered, r.initialSticky); ...... } catch (RemoteException e) { ...... } } } ...... }函数首先是检查一下广播发送和接收的权限,在我们分析的这个场景中,没有设置权限,因此,这个权限检查就跳过了,这里得到的skip为false,于是进入下面的if语句中。由于上面传时来的ordered参数为false,因此,直接就调用performReceiveLocked函数来进一步执行广播发送的操作了。
Step 10. ActivityManagerService.performReceiveLocked
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java文件中:
public final class ActivityManagerService extends ActivityManagerNative implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback { ...... static void performReceiveLocked(ProcessRecord app, IIntentReceiver receiver, Intent intent, int resultCode, String data, Bundle extras, boolean ordered, boolean sticky) throws RemoteException { // Send the intent to the receiver asynchronously using one-way binder calls. if (app != null && app.thread != null) { // If we have an app thread, do the call through that so it is // correctly ordered with other one-way calls. app.thread.scheduleRegisteredReceiver(receiver, intent, resultCode, data, extras, ordered, sticky); } else { ...... } } ...... }注意,这里传进来的参数app是注册广播接收器的Activity所在的进程记录块,在我们分析的这个场景中,由于是MainActivity调用registerReceiver函数来注册这个广播接收器的,因此,参数app所代表的ProcessRecord就是MainActivity所在的进程记录块了;而参数receiver也是注册广播接收器时传给ActivityManagerService的一个Binder对象,它的类型是IIntentReceiver,具体可以参考上一篇文章Android应用程序注册广播接收器(registerReceiver)的过程分析中的Step 2。
MainActivity在注册广播接收器时,已经把自己的ProcessRecord记录下来了,所以这里的参数app和app.thread均不为null,于是,ActivityManagerService就调用app.thread.scheduleRegisteredReceiver函数来把这个广播分发给MainActivity了。这里的app.thread是一个Binder远程对象,它的类型是ApplicationThreadProxy,我们在前面介绍应用程序的Activity启动过程时,已经多次看到了,具体可以参考主题Android应用程序的Activity启动过程简要介绍和学习计划。
Step 11. ApplicationThreadProxy.scheduleRegisteredReceiver
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ApplicationThreadNative.java文件中:
class ApplicationThreadProxy implements IApplicationThread { ...... public void scheduleRegisteredReceiver(IIntentReceiver receiver, Intent intent, int resultCode, String dataStr, Bundle extras, boolean ordered, boolean sticky) throws RemoteException { Parcel data = Parcel.obtain(); data.writeInterfaceToken(IApplicationThread.descriptor); data.writeStrongBinder(receiver.asBinder()); intent.writeToParcel(data, 0); data.writeInt(resultCode); data.writeString(dataStr); data.writeBundle(extras); data.writeInt(ordered ? 1 : 0); data.writeInt(sticky ? 1 : 0); mRemote.transact(SCHEDULE_REGISTERED_RECEIVER_TRANSACTION, data, null, IBinder.FLAG_ONEWAY); data.recycle(); } ...... }这里通过Binder驱动程序就进入到ApplicationThread.scheduleRegisteredReceiver函数去了。ApplicationThread是ActivityThread的一个内部类,具体可以参考Activity启动主题Android应用程序的Activity启动过程简要介绍和学习计划。
Step 12. ApplicaitonThread.scheduleRegisteredReceiver
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ActivityThread.java文件中:
public final class ActivityThread { ...... private final class ApplicationThread extends ApplicationThreadNative { ...... // This function exists to make sure all receiver dispatching is // correctly ordered, since these are one-way calls and the binder driver // applies transaction ordering per object for such calls. public void scheduleRegisteredReceiver(IIntentReceiver receiver, Intent intent, int resultCode, String dataStr, Bundle extras, boolean ordered, boolean sticky) throws RemoteException { receiver.performReceive(intent, resultCode, dataStr, extras, ordered, sticky); } ...... } ...... }这里的receiver是在前面一篇文章Android应用程序注册广播接收器(registerReceiver)的过程分析中的Step 4中创建的,它的具体类型是LoadedApk.ReceiverDispatcher.InnerReceiver,即定义在LoadedApk类的内部类ReceiverDispatcher里面的一个内部类InnerReceiver,这里调用它的performReceive函数。
Step 13. InnerReceiver.performReceive
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/LoadedApk.java文件中:
final class LoadedApk { ...... static final class ReceiverDispatcher { final static class InnerReceiver extends IIntentReceiver.Stub { ...... public void performReceive(Intent intent, int resultCode, String data, Bundle extras, boolean ordered, boolean sticky) { LoadedApk.ReceiverDispatcher rd = mDispatcher.get(); ...... if (rd != null) { rd.performReceive(intent, resultCode, data, extras, ordered, sticky); } else { ...... } } } ...... } ...... }这里,它只是简单地调用ReceiverDispatcher的performReceive函数来进一步处理,这里的ReceiverDispatcher类是LoadedApk类里面的一个内部类。
Step 14. ReceiverDispatcher.performReceive
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/LoadedApk.java文件中:
final class LoadedApk { ...... static final class ReceiverDispatcher { ...... public void performReceive(Intent intent, int resultCode, String data, Bundle extras, boolean ordered, boolean sticky) { ...... Args args = new Args(); args.mCurIntent = intent; args.mCurCode = resultCode; args.mCurData = data; args.mCurMap = extras; args.mCurOrdered = ordered; args.mCurSticky = sticky; if (!mActivityThread.post(args)) { ...... } } ...... } ...... }这里mActivityThread成员变量的类型为Handler,它是前面MainActivity注册广播接收器时,从ActivityThread取得的,具体可以参考前面一篇文章Android应用程序注册广播接收器(registerReceiver)的过程分析中的Step 3。这里ReceiverDispatcher借助这个Handler,把这个广播以消息的形式放到MainActivity所在的这个ActivityThread的消息队列中去,因此,ReceiverDispatcher不等这个广播被MainActivity处理就返回了,这里也体现了广播的发送和处理是异步进行的。
注意这里处理消息的方式是通过Handler.post函数进行的,post函数的参数是Runnable类型的,这个消息最终会调用这个这个参数的run成员函数来处理。这里的Args类是LoadedApk类的内部类ReceiverDispatcher的一个内部类,它继承于Runnable类,因此,可以作为mActivityThread.post的参数传进去,代表这个广播的intent也保存在这个Args实例中。
Step 15. Hanlder.post
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Handler.java文件中,这个函数我们就不看了,有兴趣的读者可以自己研究一下,它的作用就是把消息放在消息队列中,然后就返回了,这个消息最终会在传进来的Runnable类型的参数的run成员函数中进行处理。
Step 16. Args.run
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/LoadedApk.java文件中:
final class LoadedApk { ...... static final class ReceiverDispatcher { ...... final class Args implements Runnable { ...... public void run() { BroadcastReceiver receiver = mReceiver; ...... Intent intent = mCurIntent; ...... try { ClassLoader cl = mReceiver.getClass().getClassLoader(); intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl); if (mCurMap != null) { mCurMap.setClassLoader(cl); } receiver.setOrderedHint(true); receiver.setResult(mCurCode, mCurData, mCurMap); receiver.clearAbortBroadcast(); receiver.setOrderedHint(mCurOrdered); receiver.setInitialStickyHint(mCurSticky); receiver.onReceive(mContext, intent); } catch (Exception e) { ...... } ...... } ...... } ...... } ...... }这里的mReceiver是ReceiverDispatcher类的成员变量,它的类型是BroadcastReceiver,这里它就是MainActivity注册广播接收器时创建的BroadcastReceiver实例了,具体可以参考前面一篇文章Android应用程序注册广播接收器(registerReceiver)的过程分析中的Step 2。
有了这个ReceiverDispatcher实例之后,就可以调用它的onReceive函数把这个广播分发给它处理了。
Step 17. BroadcastReceiver.onReceive
这个函数定义Android系统中的广播(Broadcast)机制简要介绍和学习计划一文中所介绍的Android应用程序Broadcast的工程目录下的src/shy/luo/broadcast/MainActivity.java文件中:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener { ...... private BroadcastReceiver counterActionReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver(){ public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { int counter = intent.getIntExtra(CounterService.COUNTER_VALUE, 0); String text = String.valueOf(counter); counterText.setText(text); Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Receive counter event"); } } ...... }这样,MainActivity里面的定义的BroadcastReceiver实例counterActionReceiver就收到这个广播并进行处理了。
至此,Android应用程序发送广播的过程就分析完成了,结合前面这篇分析广播接收器注册过程的文章Android应用程序注册广播接收器(registerReceiver)的过程分析,就会对Android系统的广播机制且个更深刻的认识和理解了。
最后,我们总结一下这个Android应用程序发送广播的过程:
1. Step 1 - Step 7,计数器服务CounterService通过sendBroadcast把一个广播通过Binder进程间通信机制发送给ActivityManagerService,ActivityManagerService根据这个广播的Action类型找到相应的广播接收器,然后把这个广播放进自己的消息队列中去,就完成第一阶段对这个广播的异步分发了;
2. Step 8 - Step 15,ActivityManagerService在消息循环中处理这个广播,并通过Binder进程间通信机制把这个广播分发给注册的广播接收分发器ReceiverDispatcher,ReceiverDispatcher把这个广播放进MainActivity所在的线程的消息队列中去,就完成第二阶段对这个广播的异步分发了;
3. Step 16 - Step 17, ReceiverDispatcher的内部类Args在MainActivity所在的线程消息循环中处理这个广播,最终是将这个广播分发给所注册的BroadcastReceiver实例的onReceive函数进行处理。
这样,Android系统广播机制就学习完成了,希望对读者有所帮助。重新学习Android系统的广播机制,请回到Android系统中的广播(Broadcast)机制简要介绍和学习计划一文中。
