當(dāng)我們調(diào)用Adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()時候, 會調(diào)用被觀察者的()方法，

public abstract class BaseAdapter implements ListAdapter, SpinnerAdapter {

    //數(shù)據(jù)集被觀察者
    private final DataSetObservable mDataSetObservable = new DataSetObservable();

    public boolean hasStableIds() {
        return false;
    }
    
    public void registerDataSetObserver(DataSetObserver observer) {
        mDataSetObservable.registerObserver(observer);
    }

    public void unregisterDataSetObserver(DataSetObserver observer) {
        mDataSetObservable.unregisterObserver(observer);
    }
    
        /**
     * Notifies the attached observers that the underlying data has been changed
     * and any View reflecting the data set should refresh itself.
     */
    public void notifyDataSetChanged() {
        //通知觀察者更新
        mDataSetObservable.notifyChanged();
    }
    
}

//

在DataSetObservable.notifyChanged()方法中，遍歷每個觀察者，并調(diào)用觀察者的onChanged()方法。

public class DataSetObservable extends Observable<DataSetObserver> {
    /**
     * Invokes {@link DataSetObserver#onChanged} on each observer.
     * Called when the contents of the data set have changed.  The recipient
     * will obtain the new contents the next time it queries the data set.
     */
    public void notifyChanged() {
        synchronized(mObservers) {
            // since onChanged() is implemented by the app, it could do anything, including
            // removing itself from {@link mObservers} - and that could cause problems if
            // an iterator is used on the ArrayList {@link mObservers}.
            // to avoid such problems, just march thru the list in the reverse order.
            for (int i = mObservers.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                mObservers.get(i).onChanged();
            }
        }
    }
}

//
這些觀察者從哪里來的，又是什么時候綁定到DataSetObservable中的?
查看ListView的setAdapter()方法

    /**
     * Sets the data behind this ListView.
     *
     * The adapter passed to this method may be wrapped by a {@link WrapperListAdapter},
     * depending on the ListView features currently in use. For instance, adding
     * headers and/or footers will cause the adapter to be wrapped.
     *
     * @param adapter The ListAdapter which is responsible for maintaining the
     *        data backing this list and for producing a view to represent an
     *        item in that data set.
     *
     * @see #getAdapter() 
     */
    @Override
    public void setAdapter(ListAdapter adapter) {
     //如果已存在adapter先注銷原來Adapter對應(yīng)的觀察者
        if (mAdapter != null && mDataSetObserver != null) {
            mAdapter.unregisterDataSetObserver(mDataSetObserver);
        }

        resetList();
        mRecycler.clear();

        if (mHeaderViewInfos.size() > 0|| mFooterViewInfos.size() > 0) {
            mAdapter = wrapHeaderListAdapterInternal(mHeaderViewInfos, mFooterViewInfos, adapter);
        } else {
            mAdapter = adapter;
        }

        mOldSelectedPosition = INVALID_POSITION;
        mOldSelectedRowId = INVALID_ROW_ID;

        // AbsListView#setAdapter will update choice mode states.
        super.setAdapter(adapter);

        if (mAdapter != null) {
            mAreAllItemsSelectable = mAdapter.areAllItemsEnabled();
            mOldItemCount = mItemCount;
            mItemCount = mAdapter.getCount();
            checkFocus();

        //創(chuàng)建一個數(shù)據(jù)集觀察者
            mDataSetObserver = new AdapterDataSetObserver();
            
                //注冊觀察者
            mAdapter.registerDataSetObserver(mDataSetObserver);

            mRecycler.setViewTypeCount(mAdapter.getViewTypeCount());

            int position;
            if (mStackFromBottom) {
                position = lookForSelectablePosition(mItemCount - 1, false);
            } else {
                position = lookForSelectablePosition(0, true);
            }
            setSelectedPositionInt(position);
            setNextSelectedPositionInt(position);

            if (mItemCount == 0) {
                // Nothing selected
                checkSelectionChanged();
            }
        } else {
            mAreAllItemsSelectable = true;
            checkFocus();
            // Nothing selected
            checkSelectionChanged();
        }

        requestLayout();
    }

///
AdapterDataSetObserver是AbsListView中定義的內(nèi)部類

    class AdapterDataSetObserver extends AdapterView<ListAdapter>.AdapterDataSetObserver {
        @Override
        public void onChanged() {
            //調(diào)用父類的onChange()方法。
            super.onChanged();
            if (mFastScroll != null) {
                mFastScroll.onSectionsChanged();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onInvalidated() {
            super.onInvalidated();
            if (mFastScroll != null) {
                mFastScroll.onSectionsChanged();
            }
        }
    }

而它又繼承AdapterView的AdapterDataSetObserver

    class AdapterDataSetObserver extends DataSetObserver {

        private Parcelable mInstanceState = null;
        
        //最終調(diào)用
        @Override
        public void onChanged() {
            mDataChanged = true;
            mOldItemCount = mItemCount;
            mItemCount = getAdapter().getCount();

            // Detect the case where a cursor that was previously invalidated has
            // been repopulated with new data.
            if (AdapterView.this.getAdapter().hasStableIds() && mInstanceState != null
                    && mOldItemCount == 0 && mItemCount > 0) {
                AdapterView.this.onRestoreInstanceState(mInstanceState);
                mInstanceState = null;
            } else {
                rememberSyncState();
            }
            checkFocus();
            requestLayout();
        }

        @Override
        public void onInvalidated() {
            mDataChanged = true;

            if (AdapterView.this.getAdapter().hasStableIds()) {
                // Remember the current state for the case where our hosting activity is being
                // stopped and later restarted
                mInstanceState = AdapterView.this.onSaveInstanceState();
            }

            // Data is invalid so we should reset our state
            mOldItemCount = mItemCount;
            mItemCount = 0;
            mSelectedPosition = INVALID_POSITION;
            mSelectedRowId = INVALID_ROW_ID;
            mNextSelectedPosition = INVALID_POSITION;
            mNextSelectedRowId = INVALID_ROW_ID;
            mNeedSync = false;

            checkFocus();
            requestLayout();
        }

        public void clearSavedState() {
            mInstanceState = null;
        }
    }

我們只關(guān)注onChanged()方法

        @Override
        public void onChanged() {
            mDataChanged = true;
            mOldItemCount = mItemCount;
            mItemCount = getAdapter().getCount();

            // Detect the case where a cursor that was previously invalidated has
            // been repopulated with new data.
            if (AdapterView.this.getAdapter().hasStableIds() && mInstanceState != null
                    && mOldItemCount == 0 && mItemCount > 0) {
                AdapterView.this.onRestoreInstanceState(mInstanceState);
                mInstanceState = null;
            } else {
                rememberSyncState();
            }
            checkFocus();
            requestLayout();
        }

它會調(diào)用requestLayout()方法進(jìn)行重新布局，從而刷新listvew(GridView ， AdapterView)界面
