通过上篇的介绍,我们知道在对KeyEvent的处理中有非常重要的一环,那就是KeyEvent在focus view的path上自上而下的分发,

换句话说只有focus的view才有资格参与KeyEvent的处理,所以说focused view在KeyEvent的处理中很重要,我们需要弄清楚明白

focus view是如何设置以及改变的。

通过Android官方文档 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html 中关于Focus Handling的介绍,

我们知道framework会根据用户的输入处理常规的focus移动,包括当删除、隐藏或添加新的view时改变focus。一个view有资格获得

focus的前提是isFocusable()方法返回true,你可以通过setFocusable(boolean)方法来设置它。另外当在touch mode下的时候,还

需要isFocusableInTouchMode()也返回true,你也可以通过setFocusableInTouchMode(boolean)来设置它。focus的移动是基于这

样的算法,它尝试在某个给定的方向上找最临近的view,设置它为新的focus。在极个别情况,如果默认的算法不符合你的需求,你也可以

在xml布局文件中通过显式指定nextFocusDown/Left/Right/Up这些属性来表明focus移动的顺序。在运行时刻,你也可以通过调用

View.requestFocus()方法来动态地让某个view获得focus。作为开始,我们先看看这几个具备获得焦点前提的方法,如下:

* Returns whether this View is able to take focus. * @return True if this view can take focus, or false otherwise. * @attr ref android.R.styleable#View_focusable @ViewDebug.ExportedProperty(category = "focus" ) public final boolean isFocusable() { return FOCUSABLE == (mViewFlags & FOCUSABLE_MASK); // 各种位操作,不熟悉、习惯的同学可以翻本C语言的书看看, } // 这里顺便推荐下《C Primer Plus》,一本足矣,而且里面 // 有一章是专门介绍bit操作的应用的,非常赞!!! * When a view is focusable, it may not want to take focus when in touch mode. * For example, a button would like focus when the user is navigating via a D-pad * so that the user can click on it, but once the user starts touching the screen, * the button shouldn't take focus * @return Whether the view is focusable in touch mode. * @attr ref android.R.styleable#View_focusableInTouchMode @ViewDebug.ExportedProperty public final boolean isFocusableInTouchMode() { return FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE == (mViewFlags & FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE); * Set whether this view can receive the focus. * Setting this to false will also ensure that this view is not focusable * in touch mode. * @param focusable If true, this view can receive the focus. * @see #setFocusableInTouchMode(boolean) * @attr ref android.R.styleable#View_focusable public void setFocusable( boolean focusable) { if (! focusable) { // 注意:是false的时候,会顺便保证在touch mode下也不能获得focus setFlags( 0 , FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE); setFlags(focusable ? FOCUSABLE : NOT_FOCUSABLE, FOCUSABLE_MASK); // 设置FOCUSABLEB位 * Set whether this view can receive focus while in touch mode. * Setting this to true will also ensure that this view is focusable. * @param focusableInTouchMode If true, this view can receive the focus while * in touch mode. * @see #setFocusable(boolean) * @attr ref android.R.styleable#View_focusableInTouchMode public void setFocusableInTouchMode( boolean focusableInTouchMode) { // Focusable in touch mode should always be set before the focusable flag // otherwise, setting the focusable flag will trigger a focusableViewAvailable() // which, in touch mode, will not successfully request focus on this view // because the focusable in touch mode flag is not set setFlags(focusableInTouchMode ? FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE : 0 , FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE); if (focusableInTouchMode) { // 如果是true顺便打开FOCUSABLE位 setFlags(FOCUSABLE, FOCUSABLE_MASK);

接下来我们就看看本文的重点View.requestFocus()等相关方法,代码如下:

* Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its * descendants. * A view will not actually take focus if it is not focusable ({
@link #isFocusable} returns * false), or if it is focusable and it is not focusable in touch mode * ({ @link #isFocusableInTouchMode}) while the device is in touch mode. * See also { @link #focusSearch(int)}, which is what you call to say that you * have focus, and you want your parent to look for the next one. * This is equivalent to calling { @link #requestFocus(int, Rect)} with arguments * { @link #FOCUS_DOWN} and <code>null</code>. * @return Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus. public final boolean requestFocus() { return requestFocus(View.FOCUS_DOWN); * Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its * descendants and give it a hint about what direction focus is heading. * A view will not actually take focus if it is not focusable ({ @link #isFocusable} returns * false), or if it is focusable and it is not focusable in touch mode * ({ @link #isFocusableInTouchMode}) while the device is in touch mode. * See also { @link #focusSearch(int)}, which is what you call to say that you * have focus, and you want your parent to look for the next one. * This is equivalent to calling { @link #requestFocus(int, Rect)} with * <code>null</code> set for the previously focused rectangle. * @param direction One of FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_DOWN, FOCUS_LEFT, and FOCUS_RIGHT * @return Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus. public final boolean requestFocus( int direction) { return requestFocus(direction, null ); * Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its descendants * and give it hints about the direction and a specific rectangle that the focus * is coming from. The rectangle can help give larger views a finer grained hint * about where focus is coming from, and therefore, where to show selection, or * forward focus change internally. * A view will not actually take focus if it is not focusable ({ @link #isFocusable} returns * false), or if it is focusable and it is not focusable in touch mode * ({ @link #isFocusableInTouchMode}) while the device is in touch mode. * A View will not take focus if it is not visible. * A View will not take focus if one of its parents has * { @link android.view.ViewGroup#getDescendantFocusability()} equal to * { @link ViewGroup#FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS}. * See also { @link #focusSearch(int)}, which is what you call to say that you * have focus, and you want your parent to look for the next one. * You may wish to override this method if your custom { @link View} has an internal * { @link View} that it wishes to forward the request to. * @param direction One of FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_DOWN, FOCUS_LEFT, and FOCUS_RIGHT * @param previouslyFocusedRect The rectangle (in this View's coordinate system) * to give a finer grained hint about where focus is coming from. May be null * if there is no hint. * @return Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus. public boolean requestFocus( int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) { return requestFocusNoSearch(direction, previouslyFocusedRect); private boolean requestFocusNoSearch( int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) { // 此方法就是最终被调用的版本 // need to be focusable if ((mViewFlags & FOCUSABLE_MASK) != FOCUSABLE || // 不是FOCUSABLE,即没资格获取焦点 (mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) != VISIBLE) { // 或者不是VISIBLE的,都直接返回false,表示请求获取焦点失败 return false ; // 所以除了上文提到的2个获取focus的前提,其实这里的VISIBLE也应该算是第3个前提吧! // need to be focusable in touch mode if in touch mode if (isInTouchMode() && // 同样在touch mode下,也要检测FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE标志 (FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE != (mViewFlags & FOCUSABLE_IN_TOUCH_MODE))) { return false ; // 不满足也直接返回false,表示失败 // need to not have any parents blocking us if (hasAncestorThatBlocksDescendantFocus()) { // parents阻止我们获得焦点的话,我们也只能以失败告终 return false ; // 以上重重关卡都通过了,才会走到这里,真正设置focus handleFocusGainInternal(direction, previouslyFocusedRect); return true ; * Give this view focus. This will cause * { @link #onFocusChanged(boolean, int, android.graphics.Rect)} to be called. * Note: this does not check whether this { @link View} should get focus, it just * gives it focus no matter what. It should only be called internally by framework * code that knows what it is doing, namely { @link #requestFocus(int, Rect)}. * @param direction values are { @link View#FOCUS_UP}, { @link View#FOCUS_DOWN}, * { @link View#FOCUS_LEFT} or { @link View#FOCUS_RIGHT}. This is the direction which * focus moved when requestFocus() is called. It may not always * apply, in which case use the default View.FOCUS_DOWN. * @param previouslyFocusedRect The rectangle of the view that had focus * prior in this View's coordinate system. void handleFocusGainInternal( int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) { if (DBG) { System.out.println( this + " requestFocus()" ); if ((mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FOCUSED) == 0 ) { // 只有当前View不是focused view时才会发生一系列操作,否则do nothing mPrivateFlags |= PFLAG_FOCUSED; // 如果没focus的话,先设置此view的focused标志,isFocused,hasFocus等方法会检测此标志 View oldFocus = (mAttachInfo != null ) ? getRootView().findFocus() : null ; // 找到之前的focus if (mParent != null ) { mParent.requestChildFocus( this , this ); // 如果有mParent,则将此新focus请求向上传递 if (mAttachInfo != null ) { // callback接口,将focus change事件notify出去 mAttachInfo.mTreeObserver.dispatchOnGlobalFocusChange(oldFocus, this ); onFocusChanged( true , direction, previouslyFocusedRect); refreshDrawableState();

接着我们看下关于PFLAG_FOCUSED标志位相关的几个方法,如下:

* Returns true if this view has focus *
@return True if this view has focus, false otherwise. @ViewDebug.ExportedProperty(category = "focus" ) public boolean isFocused() { return (mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FOCUSED) != 0 ; * Find the view in the hierarchy rooted at this view that currently has * focus. * @return The view that currently has focus, or null if no focused view can * be found. public View findFocus() { return (mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FOCUSED) != 0 ? this : null ; * Returns true if this view has focus iteself, or is the ancestor of the * view that has focus. * @return True if this view has or contains focus, false otherwise. @ViewDebug.ExportedProperty(category = "focus" ) public boolean hasFocus() { // 对View来说,hasFocus和isFocus是相同的,ViewGroup类重载了此方法 return (mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FOCUSED) != 0 ;

最后,我们看看ViewParent接口(以及其实现ViewGroup)的requestChildFocus()实现,代码如下:

* Called when a child of this parent wants focus *
@param child The child of this ViewParent that wants focus. This view * will contain the focused view. It is not necessarily the view that * actually has focus. * @param focused The view that is a descendant of child that actually has * focus public void requestChildFocus(View child, View focused); // parent中的某个child请求获得focus,child要么是focused, // 要么是focused的parent // 我们可以看到其实现类有ViewGroup、ScrollView等,这里我们看下ViewGroup类的,其他的有兴趣的同学可以自行研究 @Override public void requestChildFocus(View child, View focused) { if (DBG) { System.out.println( this + " requestChildFocus()" ); if (getDescendantFocusability() == FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS) { return ; // 如果此ViewGroup被设置为阻止任何children获得focus,则直接返回 // Unfocus us, if necessary super .unFocus(); // 先unFocus 此ViewGroup // We had a previous notion of who had focus. Clear it. if (mFocused != child) { // 如果mFocused不同于传递进来的child,则更新mFocused if (mFocused != null ) { mFocused.unFocus(); // 让旧的放弃focus mFocused = child; // 更新mFocused if (mParent != null ) { // 接着沿着focus path往上传递(递归调用) mParent.requestChildFocus( this , focused); // 注意这里的第2个参数,一直是传递进来的focused不变

我们注意到只有ViewGroup才有mFocused字段,表示focus path上的一个节点。我们看看与之相关的代码:

    // The view contained within this ViewGroup that has or contains focus.
    private View mFocused; // 此ViewGroup中的child view,它要么是focused view本身要么包含focused view
    @Override
    void handleFocusGainInternal(int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) { // 此方法重载了View中的
        if (mFocused != null) { // 添加了对mFocused的处理
            mFocused.unFocus(); // 让mFocused unFocus在这种情况下
            mFocused = null;
        super.handleFocusGainInternal(direction, previouslyFocusedRect);
     * {@inheritDoc}
    public void clearChildFocus(View child) {
        if (DBG) {
            System.out.println(this + " clearChildFocus()");
        mFocused = null; // 清空
        if (mParent != null) { // 将事件告诉parent
            mParent.clearChildFocus(this);
     * {@inheritDoc}
    @Override
    public void clearFocus() {
        if (DBG) {
            System.out.println(this + " clearFocus()");
        if (mFocused == null) { // 如果没有mFocused,则ViewGroup自身clearFocus
            super.clearFocus();
        } else { // 否则,让mFocused clearFocus,并且重置为null
            View focused = mFocused;
            mFocused = null;
            focused.clearFocus();
     * {@inheritDoc}
    @Override
    void unFocus() { // 大体同clearFocus,只是调的是unFocus方法
        if (DBG) {
            System.out.println(this + " unFocus()");
        if (mFocused == null) {
            super.unFocus();
        } else {
            mFocused.unFocus();
            mFocused = null;
     * Returns the focused child of this view, if any. The child may have focus
     * or contain focus.
     * @return the focused child or null.
    public View getFocusedChild() { // 返回这个字段,供客户端代码使用
        return mFocused;
     * Returns true if this view has or contains focus
     * @return true if this view has or contains focus
    @Override
    public boolean hasFocus() { // ViewGroup自己是focused或者其子、孙后代包含focused view
        return (mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FOCUSED) != 0 || mFocused != null;
     * (non-Javadoc)
     * @see android.view.View#findFocus()
    @Override
    public View findFocus() {
        if (DBG) {
            System.out.println("Find focus in " + this + ": flags="
                    + isFocused() + ", child=" + mFocused);
        if (isFocused()) { // 自己是focused,直接返回this
            return this;
        if (mFocused != null) { // 否则,mFocused不为空,则沿着这条线往下继续找
            return mFocused.findFocus();
        return null;
     * {@inheritDoc}
    @Override
    public boolean hasFocusable() {
        if ((mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) != VISIBLE) {
            return false;
        if (isFocusable()) {
            return true;
        final int descendantFocusability = getDescendantFocusability();
        if (descendantFocusability != FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS) {
            final int count = mChildrenCount;
            final View[] children = mChildren;
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                final View child = children[i];
                if (child.hasFocusable()) {
                    return true;
        return false;

接着我们看下View自己的unFocus、clearFocus实现,代码如下:

* Called internally by the view system when a new view is getting focus. * This is what clears the old focus. * <b>NOTE:</b> The parent view's focused child must be updated manually * after calling this method. Otherwise, the view hierarchy may be left in * an inconstent state. void unFocus() { if (DBG) { System.out.println(this + " unFocus()"); clearFocusInternal(false, false); * Called when this view wants to give up focus. If focus is cleared * {@link #onFocusChanged(boolean, int, android.graphics.Rect)} is called. * <strong>Note:</strong> When a View clears focus the framework is trying * to give focus to the first focusable View from the top. Hence, if this * View is the first from the top that can take focus, then all callbacks * related to clearing focus will be invoked after wich the framework will * give focus to this view. public void clearFocus() { if (DBG) { System.out.println(this + " clearFocus()"); clearFocusInternal(true, true); * Clears focus from the view, optionally propagating the change up through * the parent hierarchy and requesting that the root view place new focus. * @param propagate whether to propagate the change up through the parent * hierarchy * @param refocus when propagate is true, specifies whether to request the * root view place new focus void clearFocusInternal(boolean propagate, boolean refocus) { if ((mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FOCUSED) != 0) { // 如果当前是focused,先清掉PFLAG_FOCUSED位 mPrivateFlags &= ~PFLAG_FOCUSED; if (propagate && mParent != null) { mParent.clearChildFocus(this); // 如果向上传播的话,调用parent.clearChildFocus方法 onFocusChanged(false, 0, null); // 调用callback方法 refreshDrawableState(); // 刷新drawable状态 if (propagate && (!refocus || !rootViewRequestFocus())) { notifyGlobalFocusCleared(this);

  通过上一篇的介绍,我们知道KeyEvent的派发就是在view层次结构的focus path上自上而下发生的,具体参见View.dispatchKeyEvent

的方法doc。刚开始我一直不明白这里的focus path是怎么形成的,怎么按着这个链传递的。这里为了帮助大家理解,我举一个典型的例子,

通过例子可以很清楚的看到传递过程。比方说我们的view层次结构是这样的,C是个Button,B是C的parent,LinearLayout,A是B的parent,

FrameLayout。这里我们先假设C、B、A都是有资格且其parent都不阻止它获得焦点,当我们在代码里调用C.requestFocus()时发生的调用

序列如下:

1. --> B.requestChildFocus(C, C); 当此方法发生后产生的结果是:B.mFocused = C;接着产生2调用;

2. --> A.requestChildFocus(B, C); 同样的,当此方法发生后,A.mFocused = B; 接着往上传递直到parent为空时停止。

当C.requestFocus()调用结束时,如果没有各种失败的case发生,那么C就是当前view层次结构中的focus了,也就是C.isFocused()方法

此时会返回true。看到了吗?通过这个递归调用,focus path的链就形成了,从最顶层的A能通过其mFocused字段找到B,从找到的B能通过

其mFocused字段找到C,以此类推。为了加深这个印象,我们最后再看眼ViewGroup.dispatchKeyEvent()方法:

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
        /// 2.2.1.1...
        if (mInputEventConsistencyVerifier != null) {
            mInputEventConsistencyVerifier.onKeyEvent(event, 1);
        if ((mPrivateFlags & (PFLAG_FOCUSED | PFLAG_HAS_BOUNDS))
                == (PFLAG_FOCUSED | PFLAG_HAS_BOUNDS)) { // ViewGroup是focused,则优先交给它自己处理
            /// 2.2.1.2. 
            if (super.dispatchKeyEvent(event)) {
                return true;
        } else if (mFocused != null && (mFocused.mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_HAS_BOUNDS)
                == PFLAG_HAS_BOUNDS) { // 否则就沿着mFocused形成的focus path向下传递
            /// 2.2.1.3. 
            if (mFocused.dispatchKeyEvent(event)) {
                return true;
        if (mInputEventConsistencyVerifier != null) {
            mInputEventConsistencyVerifier.onUnhandledEvent(event, 1);
        /// 2.2.1.4. 
        return false;

  现在再回过头来看这里的逻辑,是不是感觉特别简单呢?那是因为你已经完全弄清楚了mFocused的由来以及各种变化过程。至此view层次

结构中关于focus的变化过程已经全部分析完毕了,enjoy。
