 }十、创建Application对象时创建Context实例

// ActivityThread.java
private void handleBindApplication(AppBindData data) {
try {
// If the app is being launched for full backup or restore, bring it up in
// a restricted environment with the base application class.
Application app = data.info.makeApplication(data.restrictedBackupMode, null);
mInitialApplication = app;
...
} finally {
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(savedPolicy);
}
}

// LoadedApk.java
public Application makeApplication(boolean forceDefaultAppClass,
Instrumentation instrumentation) {
if (mApplication != null) {
return mApplication;
}

Application app = null;

String appClass = mApplicationInfo.className;
if (forceDefaultAppClass || (appClass == null)) {
appClass = "android.app.Application";
}

try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = getClassLoader();
ContextImpl appContext = new ContextImpl(); // 创建ContextImpl实例
appContext.init(this, null, mActivityThread);
app = mActivityThread.mInstrumentation.newApplication(
cl, appClass, appContext);
appContext.setOuterContext(app); // 将Application实例传递给Context实例
} catch (Exception e) {
...
}
mActivityThread.mAllApplications.add(app);
mApplication = app;

return app;
}
private Context createBaseContextForActivity(ActivityClientRecord r,
final Activity activity) {
ContextImpl appContext = new ContextImpl();  // 创建ContextImpl实例
appContext.init(r.packageInfo, r.token, this);
appContext.setOuterContext(activity);

// For debugging purposes, if the activity's package name contains the value of
// the "debug.use-second-display" system property as a substring, then show
// its content on a secondary display if there is one.
Context baseContext = appContext;
String pkgName = SystemProperties.get("debug.second-display.pkg");
if (pkgName != null && !pkgName.isEmpty()
&& r.packageInfo.mPackageName.contains(pkgName)) {
DisplayManagerGlobal dm = DisplayManagerGlobal.getInstance();
for (int displayId : dm.getDisplayIds()) {
if (displayId != Display.DEFAULT_DISPLAY) {
Display display = dm.getRealDisplay(displayId);
baseContext = appContext.createDisplayContext(display);
break;
}
}
}
return baseContext;
}

十一、创建Service对象时创建Context实例

通过startService或者bindService时，如果系统检测到需要新创建一个Service实例，就会回调handleCreateService()方法，完成相关数据操作。handleCreateService()函数位于 ActivityThread.java类，如下

 private void handleCreateService(CreateServiceData data) {
 // If we are getting ready to gc after going to the background, well
 // we are back active so skip it.
 unscheduleGcIdler();

 LoadedApk packageInfo = getPackageInfoNoCheck(
 data.info.applicationInfo, data.compatInfo);
 Service service = null;
 try {
 java.lang.ClassLoader cl = packageInfo.getClassLoader();
 service = (Service) cl.loadClass(data.info.name).newInstance();
 } catch (Exception e) {
 if (!mInstrumentation.onException(service, e)) {
 throw new RuntimeException(
 "Unable to instantiate service " + data.info.name
 + ": " + e.toString(), e);
 }
 }

 try {
 if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Creating service " + data.info.name);

 ContextImpl context = new ContextImpl(); // 创建ContextImpl实例
 context.init(packageInfo, null, this);

 Application app = packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);
 context.setOuterContext(service);
 service.attach(context, this, data.info.name, data.token, app,
 ActivityManagerNative.getDefault());
 service.onCreate();
 mServices.put(data.token, service);
 try {
 ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().serviceDoneExecuting(
 data.token, 0, 0, 0);
 } catch (RemoteException e) {
 // nothing to do.
 }
 } catch (Exception e) {
 if (!mInstrumentation.onException(service, e)) {
 throw new RuntimeException(
 "Unable to create service " + data.info.name
 + ": " + e.toString(), e);
 }
 }
 }

 private void handleCreateService(CreateServiceData data) {
 // If we are getting ready to gc after going to the background, well
 // we are back active so skip it.
 unscheduleGcIdler();

 LoadedApk packageInfo = getPackageInfoNoCheck(
 data.info.applicationInfo, data.compatInfo);
 Service service = null;
 try {
 java.lang.ClassLoader cl = packageInfo.getClassLoader();
 service = (Service) cl.loadClass(data.info.name).newInstance();
 } catch (Exception e) {
 if (!mInstrumentation.onException(service, e)) {
 throw new RuntimeException(
 "Unable to instantiate service " + data.info.name
 + ": " + e.toString(), e);
 }
 }

 try {
 if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Creating service " + data.info.name);

 ContextImpl context = new ContextImpl(); // 创建ContextImpl实例
 context.init(packageInfo, null, this);

 Application app = packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);
 context.setOuterContext(service);
 service.attach(context, this, data.info.name, data.token, app,
 ActivityManagerNative.getDefault());
 service.onCreate();
 mServices.put(data.token, service);
 try {
 ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().serviceDoneExecuting(
 data.token, 0, 0, 0);
 } catch (RemoteException e) {
 // nothing to do.
 }
 } catch (Exception e) {
 if (!mInstrumentation.onException(service, e)) {
 throw new RuntimeException(
 "Unable to create service " + data.info.name
 + ": " + e.toString(), e);
 }
 }
 }
