Activity UI视图结构

每个Activity都会获得一个窗口，那就是Window，它用于绘制用户的UI界面
Window是一个抽象类，提供了绘制窗口的一组通用API，PhoneWindow是它的唯一实现类
DecorView是所有应用窗口的根节点。是FrameLayout的子类
PhoneWindow内部实现xml布局文件的加载，容器为根据feature进行加载的对应的layout布局中android:id="@android:id/content"的ViewGroup类型的容器

 源码分析

xml布局文件的使用

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //R.layout.xxx为引入自定义xml布局文件xxx.xml
        setContentView(R.layout.xxx);
    }
	......
}

针对上面setContentView(R.layout.xxx);的使用，作为Android APP开发者来说，深入骨髓的说法已经不为过了，但是就这么一个方法，是怎么生成上图描述的UI层级结构的？
这就是我们今天的核心目标，我们将以源码分析的方式进行深度学习。

setContentView(R.layout.xxx)
 

/**
 * Set the activity content from a layout resource.  The resource will be
 * inflated, adding all top-level views to the activity.
 * 译文：从布局资源中设置Activity的视图内容，该资源将会被inflated并且把所有的顶层视图添加到Activity中
 * @param layoutResID Resource ID to be inflated.
 *
 * @see #setContentView(android.view.View)
 * @see #setContentView(android.view.View, android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)
 */
public void setContentView(@LayoutRes int layoutResID) {
    getWindow().setContentView(layoutResID);
    initWindowDecorActionBar();//这是一个ActionBar的创建过程，暂不参与本次流程学习
}

getWindow().setContentView(layoutResID);引出了一个Window类

android.view.PhoneWindow

/**
 * Abstract base class for a top-level window look and behavior policy.  An
 * instance of this class should be used as the top-level view added to the
 * window manager. It provides standard UI policies such as a background, title
 * area, default key processing, etc.
 * 译文：顶层窗口外观和行为策略的抽象基类。这个类的一个实例应该用作添加到窗口管理器的顶级视图。
 * 
 * 它提供了标准的UI策略，如背景、标题区域、默认键处理等
 * <p>The only existing implementation of this abstract class is
 * android.view.PhoneWindow, which you should instantiate when needing a
 * Window.
 * 译文：android.view.PhoneWindow是该抽象类的唯一实现类，你在需要一个Window时应该实例
 */

方法内容总结：

获取有关Window的Style属性，是否浮窗（Floating）类型、主题（windowNoTitle与windowActionBar）、全屏（windowFullscreen）、Window透明情况等
对相关Window的Style属性设置requestFeature、setFlags等信息
根据 int features = getLocalFeatures();取得的features属性值，加载对应的DecorView布局容器（layoutResource）
NOTES：这里也验证了对requestFeature设置的属性，是在这里被使用到的，而这里是在setContentView流程中，所以requestFeature设置就必须在setContentView之前！
返回以features属性对应的DecorView布局容器中用来存放用户自定义的xml布局容器mContentParent对象
 

protected ViewGroup generateLayout(DecorView decor) {
    // Apply data from current theme.

	//1.加载Window相关的Style属性：当我们在xml中设置一下Style属性之后，就是在这里进行加载
