Android persistent属性原理分析

Android persistent属性原理分析

[TOC] 以下代码基于Android9.0

persistent属性的定义

开发系统应用时,有时我们需要应用常驻,被杀死后能够自动重启,此时就需要使用到persistent属性, 下面是关于该属性在framework层的定义,属性的定义位于 persistent属性定义在platform/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/attrs_manifest.xml文件内:

1
2
    <!-- 控制应用程序是否处于特殊持久模式的标志,通常情况下不应该被使用,该标志位能够保证应用程序一直运行 -->
    <attr name="persistent" format="boolean" />

persistent属性的使用

开发系统应用时,有时我们需要应用常驻,被杀死后能够自动重启,此时我们就要在应用的AndroidManifest.xml中设置

1
android:persistent="true"

设置后应用就具备了以下两个特性:

  1. 系统启动时该应用也会启动
  2. 应用被杀死后,系统会重启该应用

persistent属性的原理

persistent属性的解析

当我们应用安装或启动的过程中,会对AndroidManifest.xml进行解析,解析相关的代码位于 platform/frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/pm/PackageParser.java

public class PackageParser {
    ....
    private boolean parseBaseApplication(Package owner, Resources res,
            XmlResourceParser parser, int flags, String[] outError)
            throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
                final ApplicationInfo ai = owner.applicationInfo;
                final String pkgName = owner.applicationInfo.packageName;
        
                // 获取 AndroidManifest 的属性
                TypedArray sa = res.obtainAttributes(parser,
                com.android.internal.R.styleable.AndroidManifestApplication);
                ....
                // 获取所设置的 persistent 值,默认为 false
                if (sa.getBoolean(
                    com.android.internal.R.styleable.AndroidManifestApplication_persistent,
                    false)) {
                // 检查应用是否支持这个权限
                final String requiredFeature = sa.getNonResourceString(com.android.internal.R.styleable
                    .AndroidManifestApplication_persistentWhenFeatureAvailable);
                    if (requiredFeature == null || mCallback.hasFeature(requiredFeature)) {
                        // 将 persistent 的 flag 设置到应用信息中
                        ai.flags |= ApplicationInfo.FLAG_PERSISTENT;
                    }
                }
                ....
    }
    ....
    
}

解析后就会将应用的各种信息保存在PKMS中的一个存储所有应用信息的一个Map中,其中设置了persistent的应用就包含了ApplicationInfo.FLAG_PERSISTENT标志位,之后在系统的启动过程中就会根据这个标志位控制应用的启动。

persistent应用的启动

persistent应用的启动发生在AMSsystemReady方法内,这一部分通过PKMS获取到所有persistent为true的应用列表,之后对列表进行遍历,通过addAppLocked方法将应用一个个启动起来。 对应代码的位于 /platform/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java

}

添加并启动应用进程

AMS内有一个存放所有正在启动的persistent应用ListmPersistentStartingProcesses,后续在启动应用重启应用时都会使用到该List

public class ActivityManagerService extends IActivityManager.Stub
        implements Watchdog.Monitor, BatteryStatsImpl.BatteryCallback {
        
    /**
     * 正在启动的persistent应用程序列表。
     */
    final ArrayList<ProcessRecord> mPersistentStartingProcesses = new ArrayList<ProcessRecord>();
    
    ....
    final ProcessRecord addAppLocked(ApplicationInfo info, String customProcess, boolean isolated,
            String abiOverride) {
        return addAppLocked(info, customProcess, isolated, false /* disableHiddenApiChecks */,
                abiOverride);
    }
    
 final ProcessRecord addAppLocked(ApplicationInfo info, String customProcess, boolean isolated,
            boolean disableHiddenApiChecks, String abiOverride) {
        // ProcessRecord是用于描述进程的数据结构
        ProcessRecord app;
        // 传入的isolated为false
        if (!isolated) {
            // 第一次启动,这里查找应用所在的进程返回都为null
            app = getProcessRecordLocked(customProcess != null ? customProcess : info.processName,
                    info.uid, true);
        } else {
            app = null;
        }
        if (app == null) {
            // 为应用创建ProcessRecord
            app = newProcessRecordLocked(info, customProcess, isolated, 0);
            updateLruProcessLocked(app, false, null);
            updateOomAdjLocked();
        }
        ....
        
        if ((info.flags & PERSISTENT_MASK) == PERSISTENT_MASK) {
            app.persistent = true;
            app.maxAdj = ProcessList.PERSISTENT_PROC_ADJ;
        }
        // 整个启动过程是异步的,所以这里仍需要判断应用线程是否为null,同时判断应用是否正在启动中(在mPersistentStartingProcesses列表内)
        if (app.thread == null && mPersistentStartingProcesses.indexOf(app) < 0) {
            // 应用没有在启动,则将应用添加到mPersistentStartingProcesses列表
            mPersistentStartingProcesses.add(app);
            // 启动应用
            startProcessLocked(app, "added application",
                    customProcess != null ? customProcess : app.processName, disableHiddenApiChecks,
                    abiOverride);
        }

        return app;
    }
    ....
}

系统启动时应用的ProcessRecord都未创建,所以在addAppLocked内首先通过newProcessRecordLocked为应用程序创建ProcessRecord,之后调用startProcessLocked来启动应用程序,启动的过程不是这部分的重点,就不再详细说明。

persistent应用启动完成

当应用启动完毕后就会调用到ActivityThread.java内的attach方法,方法内调用了AMSattachApplication方法,之后再到attachApplicationLocked,该方法内部就会将应用移除mPersistentStartingProcesses列表,表明应用启动完毕,同时为应用并注册一个死亡监听器AppDeathRecipient,用于应用被异常杀死后的重启。

                app.deathRecipient = adr;
            } catch (RemoteException e) {
                app.resetPackageList(mProcessStats);
                //如果注册死亡接收器失败,也会重新启动App进程
                startProcessLocked(app, "link fail", processName);
                return false;
            }
            ....
            // 将应用移除正在启动的持久性应用列表
            mPersistentStartingProcesses.remove(app);
            ....
        }
}

persistent应用死亡后重启

当应用被杀死后,就会调用死亡接收器AppDeathRecipientbinderDied方法,方法内根据应用是否是persistent应用来控制是否重启,整个流程如下:

            }
            app.setPid(0);
        }
    }
}

经过这个过程之后,persistent属性为true的应用程序进程就会被重启。
