最近有同学问我关于Manifest何时被系统解析的问题，正好也分析到这一块了，索性这一章就讲解一下android系统何时解析Manifest吧，这里的Manifest指的是android安装文件apk中的androidManifest.xml文件是何时被解析的。 大家应该都知道，Android系统启动之后，我们就可以在一个应用中打开另一个从未打开过的应用，或者是在一个应用中发送广播，如果另外一个应用设置了这个广播的接收器，那么这个应用进程就会被启动并接收该广播并作出相应的处理，这样的例子很多，我们可以猜测到Android系统在启动的时候就会抓取到了系统中所有安装的应用信息（应该是解析apk文件的Manifest信息），即在Android系统的启动过程中就已经解析了系统中安装应用的androidManifest.xml文件并保存起来了，那么这个过程具体是如何的呢?
其实android系统启动过程中解析Manifest的流程是通过PackageManagerService服务来实现的。这里我们重点分析一下PackageManagerService服务是如何解析Manifest的。
首先看一下在SystemServer进程启动过程中是如何启动PackageManagerService服务的：
private void startBootstrapServices() {
...
mPackageManagerService = PackageManagerService.main(mSystemContext, installer,
mFactoryTestMode != FactoryTest.FACTORY_TEST_OFF, mOnlyCore);
mFirstBoot = mPackageManagerService.isFirstBoot();
mPackageManager = mSystemContext.getPackageManager();
...
}在SystemServer进程启动过程中会调用SystemServer类的startBootstrapServices方法（主要用于启动ActivityManagerService服务和PackageManagerService服务），然后会在这个方法中会调用PackageManagerService.main静态方法，这个方法主要是用来初始化PackageManagerService服务并执行相关逻辑的。下面我来看一下main方法的具体逻辑：
public static PackageManagerService main(Context context, Installer installer,
boolean factoryTest, boolean onlyCore) {
PackageManagerService m = new PackageManagerService(context, installer,
factoryTest, onlyCore);
ServiceManager.addService("package", m);
return m;
}可以发现main方法的实现逻辑主要是创建了一个PackageManagerService对象，并将这个对象添加到ServierManager中为其他组件提供服务。好吧，看来PackageManagerService的初始化操作主要是在PackageManagerService的构造方法中了，下面我们来看一下其构造方法的实现逻辑：
File dataDir = Environment.getDataDirectory();
mAppDataDir = new File(dataDir, "data");
mAppInstallDir = new File(dataDir, "app");
mAppLib32InstallDir = new File(dataDir, "app-lib");
mAsecInternalPath = new File(dataDir, "app-asec").getPath();
mUserAppDataDir = new File(dataDir, "user");
mDrmAppPrivateInstallDir = new File(dataDir, "app-private");PackageManagerService的构造方法代码量比较大，这里就不贴出所有的代码了，我们主要和解析Manifest相关的主要代码，在构造方法中有这样几段代码。可以发现在构造方法中，解析了系统中几个apk的安装目录，这几个目录就是系统中安装apk的目录，android系统会默认解析这几个目录下apk文件，也就是说如果我们android手机在其他的目录下存在apk文件系统是不会默认解析的，反过来说，如果我们把我们的apk文件移动到这几个目录下，那么重新启动操作系统，该apk文件就会被系统解析并执行相关的逻辑操作，具体做什么操作呢？我们看下面的实现。
/ overlay packages if they reside in VENDOR_OVERLAY_DIR.
File vendorOverlayDir = new File(VENDOR_OVERLAY_DIR);
scanDirLI(vendorOverlayDir, PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM_DIR, scanFlags | SCAN_TRUSTED_OVERLAY, 0);
// Find base frameworks (resource packages without code).
scanDirLI(frameworkDir, PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM_DIR
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_PRIVILEGED,
scanFlags | SCAN_NO_DEX, 0);
// Collected privileged system packages.
final File privilegedAppDir = new File(Environment.getRootDirectory(), "priv-app");
scanDirLI(privilegedAppDir, PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM_DIR
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_PRIVILEGED, scanFlags, 0);
// Collect ordinary system packages.
final File systemAppDir = new File(Environment.getRootDirectory(), "app");
scanDirLI(systemAppDir, PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM_DIR, scanFlags, 0);
// Collect all vendor packages.
File vendorAppDir = new File("/vendor/app");
try {
vendorAppDir = vendorAppDir.getCanonicalFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
// failed to look up canonical path, continue with original one
}
scanDirLI(vendorAppDir, PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM_DIR, scanFlags, 0);
// Collect all OEM packages.
final File oemAppDir = new File(Environment.getOemDirectory(), "app");
scanDirLI(oemAppDir, PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM
| PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM_DIR, scanFlags, 0);在我们刚刚的PackageManagerService.mani方法中，解析完刚刚的几个系统目录之后系统会调用scanDirLI方法，那么这个方法主要是做什么用的呢？看它的名字应该是遍历这个系统目录。好吧，这个方法主要就是用于解析上面几个目录下的apk文件的。不信？我们看一下scanDirLI方法的具体实现：
private void scanDirLI(File dir, int parseFlags, int scanFlags, long currentTime) {
final File[] files = dir.listFiles();
if (ArrayUtils.isEmpty(files)) {
Log.d(TAG, "No files in app dir " + dir);
return;
}
if (DEBUG_PACKAGE_SCANNING) {
Log.d(TAG, "Scanning app dir " + dir + " scanFlags=" + scanFlags
+ " flags=0x" + Integer.toHexString(parseFlags));
}
for (File file : files) {
final boolean isPackage = (isApkFile(file) || file.isDirectory())
&& !PackageInstallerService.isStageName(file.getName());
if (!isPackage) {
// Ignore entries which are not packages
continue;
}
try {
scanPackageLI(file, parseFlags | PackageParser.PARSE_MUST_BE_APK,
scanFlags, currentTime, null);
} catch (PackageManagerException e) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Failed to parse " + file + ": " + e.getMessage());
// Delete invalid userdata apps
if ((parseFlags & PackageParser.PARSE_IS_SYSTEM) == 0 &&
e.error == PackageManager.INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK) {
logCriticalInfo(Log.WARN, "Deleting invalid package at " + file);
if (file.isDirectory()) {
mInstaller.rmPackageDir(file.getAbsolutePath());
} else {
file.delete();
}
}
}
}
}可以放下其首先会遍历该目录下的所有文件，并判断是否是apk文件，如果是apk文件则调用scanPackageLI方法，scanPackageLI方法的名字很明显，就是用于解析这个apk文件的。
继续看一下scanPakcageLI方法的实现：
private PackageParser.Package scanPackageLI(File scanFile, int parseFlags, int scanFlags,
long currentTime, UserHandle user) throws PackageManagerException {
if (DEBUG_INSTALL) Slog.d(TAG, "Parsing: " + scanFile);
parseFlags |= mDefParseFlags;
PackageParser pp = new PackageParser();
pp.setSeparateProcesses(mSeparateProcesses);
pp.setOnlyCoreApps(mOnlyCore);
pp.setDisplayMetrics(mMetrics);
if ((scanFlags & SCAN_TRUSTED_OVERLAY) != 0) {
parseFlags |= PackageParser.PARSE_TRUSTED_OVERLAY;
}
final PackageParser.Package pkg;
try {
pkg = pp.parsePackage(scanFile, parseFlags);
} catch (PackageParserException e) {
throw PackageManagerException.from(e);
}
...
}好吧，这个方法也比较复杂，这里只是列出重点相关的代码，我们可以发现在这个方法中创建了一个PackagerParser对象，并调用了parsePackage方法，这个方法其实就是解析Manifest的主要方法，我们可以看一下其具体的实现：
public Package parsePackage(File packageFile, int flags) throws PackageParserException {
if (packageFile.isDirectory()) {
return parseClusterPackage(packageFile, flags);
} else {
return parseMonolithicPackage(packageFile, flags);
}
}可以发现，若我们解析的File对象是一个文件夹则执行调用parseClusterPackage方法，否则调用执行parseMonolithicPackage方法，很明显的因为我们这里解析的是apk文件（在上一方法中我们循环遍历得到了apk文件，这里的File对象就代表了一个个的apk文件信息），所以这里会执行parseMonolithicPackage方法，然后我们来看一下parseMonolithicPackage方法：
public Package parseMonolithicPackage(File apkFile, int flags) throws PackageParserException {
if (mOnlyCoreApps) {
final PackageLite lite = parseMonolithicPackageLite(apkFile, flags);
if (!lite.coreApp) {
throw new PackageParserException(INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED,
"Not a coreApp: " + apkFile);
}
}
final AssetManager assets = new AssetManager();
try {
final Package pkg = parseBaseApk(apkFile, assets, flags);
pkg.codePath = apkFile.getAbsolutePath();
return pkg;
} finally {
IoUtils.closeQuietly(assets);
}
}可以看出，这里又调用了parseBaseApk方法：
private Package parseBaseApk(File apkFile, AssetManager assets, int flags)
...
final Package pkg = parseBaseApk(res, parser, flags, outError);
...
}可以看出，这个parseBaseApk方法调用了其重载的parseBaseApk方法：

}在这个parseBaseApk方法中有一个while循环，该循环主要就是用于解析AndroidManifest.xml文件中的节点信息。在开始解析application节点的时候，同时调用了parseBaseApplication方法，该方法解析了application节点下的activity，service，broadcast，contentprovier等组件的定义信息：

}这样，经过这里循环遍历，整个androidManifest的节点信息就被解析并保存在了Package对象中。可以看到我们平时在Manifest中定义的各种节点，其实都是在这里有所体现。当androidManifest.xml文件被解析完成之后会调用我们刚刚介绍的scanPackageLI的重载方法，将解析完成的Package对象信息保存的Setting对象中，这个对象用于保存app的安装信息，具体实现是在方法：
private PackageParser.Package scanPackageLI(File scanFile, int parseFlags, int scanFlags,
long currentTime, UserHandle user) throws PackageManagerException当解析完成manifest文件之后会调用其重载方法：
// Note that we invoke the following method only if we are about to unpack an application
PackageParser.Package scannedPkg = scanPackageLI(pkg, parseFlags, scanFlags
| SCAN_UPDATE_SIGNATURE, currentTime, user);这样，解析的manifest文件信息就会被保存到Settings中，并持久化，然后执行安装apk的操作，我们可以看一下该重载方法的具体实现：
private PackageParser.Package scanPackageLI(PackageParser.Package pkg, int parseFlags,
int scanFlags, long currentTime, UserHandle user) throws PackageManagerException {
boolean success = false;
try {
final PackageParser.Package res = scanPackageDirtyLI(pkg, parseFlags, scanFlags,
currentTime, user);
success = true;
return res;
} finally {
if (!success && (scanFlags & SCAN_DELETE_DATA_ON_FAILURES) != 0) {
removeDataDirsLI(pkg.volumeUuid, pkg.packageName);
}
}
}可以发现其内部调用了scanPackageDirtyLI方法，这个方法就是实际实现持久化manifest信息并安装APK操作的：
private PackageParser.Package scanPackageDirtyLI(PackageParser.Package pkg, int parseFlags,
int scanFlags, long currentTime, UserHandle user) throws PackageManagerException {
...
// And now re-install the app.
ret = createDataDirsLI(pkg.volumeUuid, pkgName, pkg.applicationInfo.uid,
pkg.applicationInfo.seinfo);
...
}可以发现其内部调用了createDataDirLI，该方法主要实现安装apk的操作。
private int createDataDirsLI(String volumeUuid, String packageName, int uid, String seinfo) {
int[] users = sUserManager.getUserIds();
int res = mInstaller.install(volumeUuid, packageName, uid, uid, seinfo);
if (res < 0) {
return res;
}
for (int user : users) {
if (user != 0) {
res = mInstaller.createUserData(volumeUuid, packageName,
UserHandle.getUid(user, uid), user, seinfo);
if (res < 0) {
return res;
}
}
}
return res;
}查看该方法的实现：
public int install(String uuid, String name, int uid, int gid, String seinfo) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("install");
builder.append(' ');
builder.append(escapeNull(uuid));
builder.append(' ');
builder.append(name);
builder.append(' ');
builder.append(uid);
builder.append(' ');
builder.append(gid);
builder.append(' ');
builder.append(seinfo != null ? seinfo : "!");
return mInstaller.execute(builder.toString());
}怎么样？很熟悉吧，这里的Installer其实调用的就是我们平时运行android项目很熟悉的install命令，原来android系统安装apk文件底层都是调用的adb命令。
总结：
android系统启动之后会解析固定目录下的apk文件，并执行解析，持久化apk信息，重新安装等操作；
解析Manifest流程：Zygote进程 --> SystemServer进程 --> PackgeManagerService服务 --> scanDirLI方法 --> scanPackageLI方法 --> PackageParser.parserPackage方法；
