activity的启动流程之前已经通过源码了解了，那么app的启动流程是怎样的，从我们按下app的图标，到应用启动起来显示出画面，中间都经历了什么？
安卓是基于java的，所以和java有一定的相似性，一个java程序的起点是main，那么android是不是也是如此？事实上，正如猜想我们找到ActivityTread这个类中的main方法，这里就是app启动的源头
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "ActivityThreadMain");
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
CloseGuard.setEnabled(false);
//初始化内存卡环境
Environment.initForCurrentUser();
// Set the reporter for event logging in libcore
EventLogger.setReporter(new EventLoggingReporter());
//处理签名相关的东西，验证之类的饿
AndroidKeyStoreProvider.install();
// Make sure TrustedCertificateStore looks in the right place for CA certificates
//用户目录相关的东西
final File configDir = Environment.getUserConfigDirectory(UserHandle.myUserId());
TrustedCertificateStore.setDefaultUserDirectory(configDir);
Process.setArgV0("<pre-initialized>");
//应用程序一启动就初始化全局的looper
Looper.prepareMainLooper();
ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
//这个是主要的方法，false表示不是系统应用，第三方app默认都是false
thread.attach(false);
//初始化主线程handler，在ActivityTread加载的时候就已经生成了
if (sMainThreadHandler == null) {
sMainThreadHandler = thread.getHandler();
}
if (false) {
Looper.myLooper().setMessageLogging(new
LogPrinter(Log.DEBUG, "ActivityThread"));
}
// End of event ActivityThreadMain.
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
Looper.loop();
throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");

Application是启动了，那么到了这里似乎已经无法继续往下走了，activity是如何启动的，我们回到ActivityManagerService中，在上边的那代码下如下,现在已经知道了bindApplication最终执行到了Application的onCreate，那么下边的方法attachApplicationLocked将会是寻找Activity启动的线索

到了realStartActivityLocked这个方法这里，后边的东西就和之前看过的activity的启动流程相同了，所以就不再往下看了，感兴趣可以看看我的另一篇03.源码阅读（Activity启动流程--android api 23）
