1、一切的開端，Activity的setContentView()

public void setContentView(@LayoutRes int layoutResID) {
    getWindow().setContentView(layoutResID);
    initWindowDecorActionBar();
}
public Window getWindow() {
    return mWindow;
}

mWindow其實(shí)就是一個(gè)PhoneWindow

2、PhoneWindow

//...
private ViewGroup mContentParent;
//...
public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
    // Note: FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS may be set in the process of installing the window
    // decor, when theme attributes and the like are crystalized. Do not check the feature
    // before this happens.
    if (mContentParent == null) {
        installDecor();
    } else if (!hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
        mContentParent.removeAllViews();
    }

    if (hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
        final Scene newScene = Scene.getSceneForLayout(mContentParent, layoutResID,
                getContext());
        transitionTo(newScene);
    } else {
        mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent);
    }
    mContentParent.requestApplyInsets();
    final Callback cb = getCallback();
    if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
        cb.onContentChanged();
    }
}

看到這一行mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent)
就知道Activity中setContentView()，其實(shí)主要就是mContentParent.addView(view)，mContentParent是ViewGroup

3、ViewGroup

public void addView(View child, int index, LayoutParams params) {
    if (DBG) {
        System.out.println(this + " addView");
    }

    if (child == null) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot add a null child view to a ViewGroup");
    }

    // addViewInner() will call child.requestLayout() when setting the new LayoutParams
    // therefore, we call requestLayout() on ourselves before, so that the child's request
    // will be blocked at our level
    requestLayout();
    invalidate(true);
    addViewInner(child, index, params, false);
}

重點(diǎn)requestLayout()

4、View的requestLayout()

public void requestLayout() {
    if (mMeasureCache != null) mMeasureCache.clear();

    if (mAttachInfo != null && mAttachInfo.mViewRequestingLayout == null) {
        // Only trigger request-during-layout logic if this is the view requesting it,
        // not the views in its parent hierarchy
        ViewRootImpl viewRoot = getViewRootImpl();
        if (viewRoot != null && viewRoot.isInLayout()) {
            if (!viewRoot.requestLayoutDuringLayout(this)) {
                return;
            }
        }
        mAttachInfo.mViewRequestingLayout = this;
    }

    mPrivateFlags |= PFLAG_FORCE_LAYOUT;
    mPrivateFlags |= PFLAG_INVALIDATED;

    if (mParent != null && !mParent.isLayoutRequested()) {
        mParent.requestLayout();
    }
    if (mAttachInfo != null && mAttachInfo.mViewRequestingLayout == this) {
        mAttachInfo.mViewRequestingLayout = null;
    }
}

重點(diǎn)是mParent.requestLayout()，很明顯這個(gè)調(diào)用會向上遞歸
回到PhoneWindow里的mContentParent

mContentParent = generateLayout(mDecor);

protected ViewGroup generateLayout(DecorView decor) {
    //...
    ViewGroup contentParent = (ViewGroup)findViewById(ID_ANDROID_CONTENT);
    //...
    return contentParent ;
}

跟蹤findViewById()

public View findViewById(@IdRes int id) {
    return getDecorView().findViewById(id);
}

得知mContentParent的parent
就是我們常在Activity里寫的getWindow().getDecorView()
再看decor的parent是什么，Activity里面

void makeVisible() {
    if (!mWindowAdded) {
        ViewManager wm = getWindowManager();
        wm.addView(mDecor, getWindow().getAttributes());
        mWindowAdded = true;
    }
    mDecor.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
public WindowManager getWindowManager() {
    return mWindowManager;
}
//....
mWindowManager = mWindow.getWindowManager();
//....

跟蹤wm.addView()，Window類里面

mWindowManager = ((WindowManagerImpl)wm).createLocalWindowManager(this);

public WindowManager getWindowManager() {
    return mWindowManager;
}

跟蹤WindowManagerImpl

public void addView(@NonNull View view, @NonNull ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
    applyDefaultToken(params);
    mGlobal.addView(view, params, mDisplay, mParentWindow);
}

mGlobal就是WindowManagerGlobal

public void addView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params,
    //...
    ViewRootImpl root;
    //...
    root = new ViewRootImpl(view.getContext(), display);
    //...
    root.setView(view, wparams, panelParentView);
    //...
    
}

跟蹤root.setView()，ViewRootImpl類里面

public void setView(View view, WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs, View panelParentView) {
    //...
    view.assignParent(this);
    //...
}

assignParent()，顧名思義就是設(shè)置View的mParent

跟了這么久，得知DecorView的parent就是ViewRootImpl

5、ViewRootImpl

public void requestLayout() {
    if (!mHandlingLayoutInLayoutRequest) {
        checkThread();
        mLayoutRequested = true;
        scheduleTraversals();
    }
}
private void performTraversals() {
    //...
    performMeasure()
    //...
    performLayout()
    //...
    performDraw()
}

這個(gè)類里requestLayout()方法最終會調(diào)用performTraversals()

總結(jié)：
ViewGroup.addView(view)會調(diào)用requestLayout()
View.requestLyaout()每次都會遞歸回到Activity最上層的那個(gè)DecorView的parent就是ViewRootImpl
然后ViewRootImpl開始執(zhí)行measure()、layout()、draw()
這幾個(gè)方法里面會再遞歸遍歷執(zhí)行child View的measure()、layout()、draw()
當(dāng)然并不是一個(gè)View的一次requestLyaout()就會觸發(fā)所有View的重繪，View繪制方法中會判斷child View是否需要重繪。
invalidate()方法整個(gè)流程原理也大同小異，也是遞歸向上，最終還是進(jìn)入ViewRootImpl，調(diào)用scheduleTraversals()
