Android中的Application

先定義一個Application
 
package com.xesam;

import android.app.Application;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.util.Log;

public class ApplicationActivity extends Application {
    static String name = "小西山子";
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        Log.v("ApplicationActivity","onCreate");
        super.onCreate();
    }
    @Override
    public void onTerminate() {
        Log.v("ApplicationActivity","onTerminate");
        super.onTerminate();
    }
    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        Log.v("ApplicationActivity","onConfigurationChanged");
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    }
    @Override
    public void onLowMemory() {
        Log.v("ApplicationActivity","onLowMemory");
        super.onLowMemory();
    }
}
 
主要Activity：
 
package com.xesam;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Log.v("MainActivity","onCreate");
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       
        ApplicationActivity app = (ApplicationActivity)this.getApplication();
       
        LinearLayout main = new LinearLayout(this);
        main.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
        main.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        tv.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
        tv.setText(app.name);
        tv.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
        main.addView(tv);
        setContentView(main);
    }
    @Override
    public void onDestroy(){
        Log.v("MainActivity","onDestroy");
        super.onDestroy();
        //System.exit(0);
    }
}
 
AndroidManifest.xml：
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.xesam"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name="ApplicationActivity">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>
 
這裡我們自訂了一個Application，所以必須指定AndroidManifest.xml中application的android:name屬性（預設是android.app.Application）。
輸出結果：
"ApplicationActivity","onCreate"
"MainActivity","onCreate"
"MainActivity","小西山子"
"ApplicationActivity","onConfigurationChanged"
退出之後列印結果：
"MainActivity","onDestroy"
從模擬器再次開啟應用（沒有再次編譯）之後，列印結果
"MainActivity","onCreate"
"MainActivity","小西山子"
所以後退的時候並沒有關閉application，要強制關閉application，可以在MainActivity的onDestroy中調用System.exit(0)
    @Override
    public void onDestroy(){
        Log.v("MainActivity","onDestroy");
        super.onDestroy();
        System.exit(0);
    }
這樣就完全退出程式了。
 
回到application的問題上來，顯然，application的onCreate在activity的onCreate之前執行了，所以整個應用的最初入口是這個方法。
onCreate作用說明：
 
    /**
     * Called when the application is starting, before any other application
     * objects have been created.  Implementations should be as quick as
     * possible (for example using lazy initialization of state) since the time
     * spent in this function directly impacts the performance of starting the
     * first activity, service, or receiver in a process.
     * If you override this method, be sure to call super.onCreate().
     */
 
可以認為Activity，service以及其他的組件共同構成了一個application的環境，因此application中可以共用或者初始化一些全域變數，比如地圖（百度地圖demo就是這麼做的）。
 
 
註：eclipse查看源碼的方法：
下載android版本對應的源碼【2.2版本地址：http://rgruet.free.fr/public/android-2.2-froyo-src.zip】
解壓縮到 /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-8下，然後修改同目錄下source.properties檔案中的Pkg.SourceUrl為剛才解壓的源碼目錄就行了
一個樣本（我下載的源碼放在/usr/local/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-8/source目錄中，所以Pkg.SourceUrl=sources）：
