在Android系统启动时，第一个启动起来的进程就是zygote进程，然后由zygote启动SystemServer，然后就是启动ActivityManagerService、WindowManagerService等系统核心服务，这些服务承担着整个Android系统与客户端交互的重担。zygote除了启动系统服务与进程外，普通的用户进程也由zygote进程fork而来，当一个应用进程启动起来后，就会加载用户在AndroidManifest.xml中配置的默认加载的Activity，此时加载的入口是ActivityThread.main(String[] args)方法，该方法类似于C语言中 的main方法，是整个应用程序的入口。
在ActivityThread.main(String[] args)方法中，主要的功能是创建Application和Activity,并且调用Activity的生命周期函数，如onCreate、onResume等。
#ActivityThread

Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");

从上述程序可以看到，在ActivityThread.main中主要的功能就是创建了UI线程消息循环，并启动了消息循环，最重要的是创建了ActivityThread，并调用了attach方法。在attach方法中又调用了ActivityManagerService中的attachApplication(mAppThread)方法，这个方法才是重点。mAppThread是ApplicationThread类型，它也不是一个Thread，而是一个Binder，负责与远程的ActivityManagerService进程交互。在了解attachApplication之前，先了解一下ApplicationThread与ActivityThread的关联。
public final class ActivityThread {
final ApplicationThread mAppThread = new ApplicationThread();
final Looper mLooper = Looper.myLooper();
final H mH = new H();
//通过mH发送消息
private void sendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1, int arg2, boolean async) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) Slog.v(
TAG, "SCHEDULE " + what + " " + mH.codeToString(what)

Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
msg.obj = obj;
msg.arg1 = arg1;
msg.arg2 = arg2;
if (async) {
msg.setAsynchronous(true);
}
mH.sendMessage(msg);
}
}
#ActivityThread内部类

int seq = getLifecycleSeq();
if (DEBUG_ORDER) Slog.d(TAG, "resumeActivity " + ActivityThread.this

updateProcessState(processState, false);

public final void scheduleLaunchActivity(Intent intent, IBinder token, int ident,

public static final int LAUNCH_ACTIVITY = 100;

(args.argi1 & DONT_REPORT) != 0, args.argi3);
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
} break;
... ...
}
}ApplicationThread与ActivityManagerService进行交互，通过H类的对象mH来发送消息，并且在H类的handleMessage函数中进行处理，然后handleMessage根据消息的类型调用ActivityThread中对应的方法。比如handleresumeActivity来使Activity变得可见。因为H的消息队列就是主线程的消息队列，因此，这些过程都在UI线程中处理。

}以上代码中注释3处，才是真正启动Activity的地方。mStackSupervisor的类型为ActivityStackSupervisor，观察注释3处ActivityStackSupervisor 类中的attachApplicationLocked方法。

这就是一个典型的模板方法，ActivityThread的main函数被调用之后，依次执行Activity的onCreate、onStart、onResume函数，用户通常在Activity的子类中覆写onCreate方法，并且在其中调用setContentView方法来设置布局。从上文可以知道，在onResume之后，Activity的布局内容就显示到窗口上了。

} 
generateLayout步骤如下：
1.获取用户设置的一些属性和Flag。
2.根基一些属性选择不同的顶层视图布局，如FEATURE_NO_TITLE则选择没有title的布局文件等。
选择layoutResource = R.layout.screen_title;的情形来分析，首先看screen_title的布局代码。
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- Popout bar for action modes -->
<ViewStub android:id="@+id/action_mode_bar_stub"
android:inflatedId="@+id/action_mode_bar"
android:layout="@layout/action_mode_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="?attr/actionBarTheme" />
title显示区域
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/windowTitleSize"
style="?android:attr/windowTitleBackgroundStyle">
<TextView android:id="@android:id/title"
style="?android:attr/windowTitleStyle"
android:background="@null"
android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>
内容显示区域，例如：main_activity.xml的布局就会被放到这个ViewGroup下面。
<FrameLayout android:id="@android:id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:foregroundGravity="fill_horizontal|top"
android:foreground="?android:attr/windowContentOverlay" />
</LinearLayout>
我们可以看到两个区域，即title区域和content区域，generateLayout获取的是content区域，代码如下：
//1.获取到我们的内容显示区域，这是一个ViewGroup类型的，其实FrameLayout
ViewGroup contentParent = (ViewGroup)findViewById(ID_ANDROID_CONTENT);
获取的就是xml中id为content的FrameLayout，这个content就是内容显示区域。
这两个区域就组成了mDecor视图，我们的main_activity.xml的布局就会被放在内容视图区域的。
3.加载顶层布局文件，转化为View，将其添加到mDecor中。
4.获取内容视图容器Content Parent，即用于显示内容的区域。
5.设置一些背景图和title等。
经过这几步，我们就得到mContentParent，就是用来装载视图的ViewGroup，再回过头来看setContentView函数。
#PhoneWindow
@Override
public void setContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
// Note: FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS may be set in the process of installing the window
// decor, when theme attributes and the like are crystalized. Do not check the feature
// before this happens.
if (mContentParent == null) {
//1.生成DecorView，并且根据窗口属性加载顶级视图布局。
//获取mContentParent、设置一些基本属性等。
installDecor();
} else if (!hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
mContentParent.removeAllViews();
}
if (hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
view.setLayoutParams(params);
final Scene newScene = new Scene(mContentParent, view);
transitionTo(newScene);
} else {
mContentParent.addView(view, params);
}
mContentParent.requestApplyInsets();
final Callback cb = getCallback();
if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
cb.onContentChanged();
}
mContentParentExplicitlySet = true;
}
#PhoneWindow
@Override
public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
// Note: FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS may be set in the process of installing the window
// decor, when theme attributes and the like are crystalized. Do not check the feature
// before this happens.
if (mContentParent == null) {
//1.生成DecorView，并且根据窗口属性加载顶级视图布局。
//获取mContentParent、设置一些基本属性等。
installDecor();
} else if (!hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
mContentParent.removeAllViews();
}
if (hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
final Scene newScene = Scene.getSceneForLayout(mContentParent, layoutResID,
getContext());
transitionTo(newScene);
} else {
//2.将layoutResId加载到mContentParent中
//这里的layoutResId就是Activity的onCreate函数执行的布局id
mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent);
}
mContentParent.requestApplyInsets();
final Callback cb = getCallback();
if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
cb.onContentChanged();
}
mContentParentExplicitlySet = true;
} 
实际上就是将layoutResId这个布局的视图附加到mContentParent中，这个layoutResId就是在onCreate中设置给Activity的那个资源id，也就是说google预先设置了一些布局资源，这些布局资源中有一个留给开发者设置窗口内容的区域，也就是content区域，我们通过setContentView设置的布局会添加到content布局中，这个content布局就是一个framelayout，因此它是一个ViewGroup。
ViewGroup从语义上来说是视图组，其继承自View类，它其实就是一个视图的容器。Android中通过ViewGroup组织管理子视图。在Activity启动时，通过onCreate函数让用户自己设置界面，系统将这个布局界面添加到一个内置的布局界面的content区域中，此时，DcroView就建立起来了。然后调用onStart函数，并且在调用onResume函数之后，将DecorView添加到WindowManager中，并且设置Activty可见，ActivityManager.getService().activityResumed(token);然后通知ActivityManagerService，该Activity已经变为了resume状态，使得系统可以渲染Activity的视图。
