首先明确两个概念：
1、init进程：是Linux内核启动的第一个用户级进程。主要有两个作用：a、启动Android系统的关键服务；b、作为上述关键服务的守护进程，确保不被杀死（通过socket的方式完成进程间通信，init进程会不断给每一个关键服务发送消息，正常情况下，init进程的read()方法会处于阻塞状态；如果某个关键服务被杀死，那么init进程的read()方法就会读取到这一状态，从而重启该服务）。需要特殊说明的是：init进程并不能重启所有的关键服务，比如zygote进程会孵化很多app进程，如果这样的进程被系统杀死，那么是无法通过init重启的，此时只能通过重启Android系统来解决
2、init进程和Android的关系：当Linux内核启动之后，通过启动用户级的init进程，来引导Android Framework的建立。因此init总是第一个进程，它的进程号固定为1
接下来，进入正题，先来一张图：
zygote启动后，会通过PMS进程扫描/data/app目录下所有的.apk文件，将AndroidManifest.xml的所有标签信息存档，从而建立一个缓存中心(Packages)
最后，看一下源代码：
main函数作为进程的入口，自然要从这里看起
public static PackageManagerService main (Context context, Installer installer, boolean factoryTest, boolean onlyCore) {
// Self-check for initial settings.
PackageManagerServiceCompilerMapping.checkProperties();
// 1、创建PMS对象
PackageManagerService m = new PackageManagerService(context, installer, factoryTest, onlyCore);
// 2、添加到ServiceManager中
ServiceManager.addService("package", m);
return m;
}
main()函数比较简单，首先创建PMS对象，然后添加到ServiceManager中。然后我们看一下PackageManagerService的构造方法：
/** Directory where installed applications are stored */
private static final FilesAppInstallDir = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory(), "app"); // /data/app目录
public PackageManagerService(Context context, Installer installer, boolean factoryTest, boolean onlyCore) {
......
scanDirTracedLI(sAppInstallDir, 0, scanFlags | SCAN_REQUIRE_KNOWN, 0);
......
}
private void scanDirTracedLI(File scanDir, final int parseFlags, int scanFlags, long currentTime) {
scanDirLI(scanDir, parseFlags, scanFlags, currentTime);
}
private void scanDirLI(File scanDir, int parseFlags, int scanFlags, long currentTime) {
for (File file : files) {
final boolean isPackage = (isApkFile(file) || file.isDirectory()) && !PackageInstallerService.isStageName(file.getName());
if (!isPackage) {
// Ignore entries which are not packages continue;
continue;
}
parallelPackageParser.submit(file, parseFlags);
}
}
public void submit(File scanFile, int parseFlags) {
mService.submit(() -> {
ParseResult pr = new ParseResult();
try {
PackageParser pp = new PackageParser();
pp.setSeparateProcesses(mSeparateProcesses);
pp.setOnlyCoreApps(mOnlyCore);
pp.setDisplayMetrics(mMetrics);
pp.setCacheDir(mCacheDir);
pp.setCallback(mPackageParserCallback);
pr.scanFile = scanFile;
pr.pkg = parsePackage(pp, scanFile, parseFlags);
}catch (Throwable e) {
pr.throwable = e;
} finally {
Trace.traceEnd(TRACE_TAG_PACKAGE_MANAGER);
}
}
@VisibleForTestingprotected
PackageParser.Package parsePackage(PackageParser packageParser, File scanFile, int parseFlags) throws PackageParser.PackageParserException {
return packageParser.parsePackage(scanFile, parseFlags, true /* useCaches */);
}
public Package parsePackage(File packageFile, int flags, boolean useCaches) throws PackageParserException {
if (packageFile.isDirectory()) { // 显然packageFile就是扫描到的.apk文件

} else {

} else if (tagName.equals("receiver")) {
// 在AndroidManifest.xml中，Activity和Receiver的标签属性一样，所以Google使用了相同的数据对象

} else if (tagName.equals("activity-alias")) {

至此，Android启动流程也就基本结束了！
