Android使用Multidex突破64K方法数限制原理解析

1. 问题的产生

Android系统安装一个应用的时候,有一步是对Dex进行优化,这个过程有一个专门的工具来处理,叫DexOpt。DexOpt的执行过程是在第一次加载Dex文件的时候执行的。这个过程会生成一个ODEX文件,即Optimised Dex。执行ODex的效率会比直接执行Dex文件的效率要高很多。

但是在早期的Android系统中,DexOpt有一个问题,DexOpt会把每一个类的方法id检索起来,存在一个链表结构里面。但是这个链表的长度是用一个short类型来保存的,导致了方法id的数目不能够超过65536个。当一个项目足够大的时候,显然这个方法数的上限是不够的。尽管在新版本的Android系统中,DexOpt修复了这个问题,但是我们仍然需要对低版本的Android系统做兼容。

2.Multidex的出现

在android5.0之前,每一个android应用中只会含有一个dex文件,但是这个dex的方法数量被限制在65535之内,这就是著名的64K(64*1024)事件。为了解决这个问题,Google官方推出了这个类似于补丁一样的support-library。关于这个库的使用,对于新手来说不免会遇到一些坑的,本篇文章重点在于MultiDex的使用原理的分析,关于它的使用爬坑以及优化方案,请看我的其他两篇文章。其实你不知道MultiDex到底有多坑Android MultiDex初次启动APP优化方案优雅的实现。使用这个库后,我们的APP不再只会仅有一个dex文件,可能会产生多个dex文件,这样就避免了64K问题。

比如:微信app经过分包后,我们解压其apk文件:

解压之后的微信apk

3.Multidex的基本使用

  • 1.配置build.gradle
android {

    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
        ...

        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
  • 2.配置AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.android.multidex.myapplication">
    <application
        ...
        android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>
  • 3.若是有自定义的Application则可以直接继承MultiDexApplication
public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication{
  // ...........
}
  • 4.若是不想继承MultiDexApplication, 也可以复写attachBaseContext方法
@Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this) ;
    }
  • 5.使用productFlavors(初次引入MultiDex 需要很长的时间,为减少开发阶段,运行时间,使用productFlavors)
android {
    //定义不同的flavors
    productFlavors {
       //开发阶段
        dev {
           //运行在Android 5.0以上版本的设备中,使用ART-supported格式生成multidex的速度要快得多
            minSdkVersion 21
        }
        prod {
          //实际支持的最低版本
            minSdkVersion 14
        }
    }
}

4.原理分析之android中的类加载机制

在分析MultiDex.install(Context)之前,先了解一下android中的类是如何加载的。在android中,类的加载可以分为DexClassLoaderPathClassLoader,这里先看看他们各自的实现:
DexClassLoader

/**
 * A class loader that loads classes from {@code .jar} and {@code .apk} files
 * containing a {@code classes.dex} entry. This can be used to execute code not
 * installed as part of an application.
 * 从包含dex文件的jar或是apk中加载classes。该ClassLoader可以用来加载外部的classes,
 * 也就是可以加载没有预先安装的含有dex文件的jar或是apk。
 *
 * <p>This class loader requires an application-private, writable directory to
 * cache optimized classes. Use {@code Context.getDir(String, int)} to create
 * such a directory: <pre>   {@code
 *   File dexOutputDir = context.getDir("dex", 0);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p><strong>Do not cache optimized classes on external storage.</strong>
 * External storage does not provide access controls necessary to protect your
 * application from code injection attacks.
 */
public class DexClassLoader extends BaseDexClassLoader {
    /**
     * Creates a {@code DexClassLoader} that finds interpreted and native
     * code.  Interpreted classes are found in a set of DEX files contained
     * in Jar or APK files.
     *
     * <p>The path lists are separated using the character specified by the
     * {@code path.separator} system property, which defaults to {@code :}.
     *
     * @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
     *     resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
     *     defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
     *      含有classes和resources的文件(jar/apk)路径,多个文件以 File.pathSeparator(Linux为":"Windows为";")分割开来,比如:xx/xx/aa.apk:yy/yy/bb.apk
     * @param optimizedDirectory directory where optimized dex files
     *     should be written; must not be {@code null}
     *      dex文件所在的根路径,不能为null
     * @param libraryPath the list of directories containing native
     *     libraries, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}; may be
     *     {@code null}
     *      SO文件所在的路径
     * @param parent the parent class loader
     */
    public DexClassLoader(String dexPath, String optimizedDirectory,
            String libraryPath, ClassLoader parent) {
        super(dexPath, new File(optimizedDirectory), libraryPath, parent);
    }
}

PathClassLoader

/**
 * Provides a simple {@link ClassLoader} implementation that operates on a list
 * of files and directories in the local file system, but does not attempt to
 * load classes from the network. Android uses this class for its system class
 * loader and for its application class loader(s).
 * 不能加载从网络上获取的classes,Android用这个类来加载系统classes和已经安装的应用的classes
 */
public class PathClassLoader extends BaseDexClassLoader {
    /**
     * Creates a {@code PathClassLoader} that operates on a given list of files
     * and directories. This method is equivalent to calling
     * {@link #PathClassLoader(String, String, ClassLoader)} with a
     * {@code null} value for the second argument (see description there).
     *
     * @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
     * resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
     * defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
     * @param parent the parent class loader
     */
    public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, ClassLoader parent) {
        super(dexPath, null, null, parent);
    }
    /**
     * Creates a {@code PathClassLoader} that operates on two given
     * lists of files and directories. The entries of the first list
     * should be one of the following:
     *
     * <ul>
     * <li>JAR/ZIP/APK files, possibly containing a "classes.dex" file as
     * well as arbitrary resources.
     * <li>Raw ".dex" files (not inside a zip file).
     * </ul>
     * dexPath只支持jar/zip/apk/dex四种文件
     *
     * The entries of the second list should be directories containing
     * native library files.
     *
     * @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
     * resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
     * defaults to {@code ":"} on Android
     * @param libraryPath the list of directories containing native
     * libraries, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}; may be
     * {@code null}
     * @param parent the parent class loader
     */
    public PathClassLoader(String dexPath, String libraryPath,
            ClassLoader parent) {
        super(dexPath, null, libraryPath, parent);
    }
}

从类的说明以及构造函数可以明显的知道DexClassLoader和PathClassLoader区别:DexClassLoader可以加载未安装的含有dex文件的jar或是apk,而PathClassLoader只能加载已安装好的含有dex文件的jar/apk/zip/dex。

对于它们的父类PathClassLoader:

public class BaseDexClassLoader extends ClassLoader {

    /** structured lists of path elements */
    private final DexPathList pathList;

   public BaseDexClassLoader(String dexPath, File optimizedDirectory,
            String libraryPath, ClassLoader parent) {
        super(parent);
        this.originalPath = dexPath;
        this.pathList =
            new DexPathList(this, dexPath, libraryPath, optimizedDirectory);
    }
}

其中用到了一个类DexPathList:

/**
 * A pair of lists of entries, associated with a {@code ClassLoader}.
 * One of the lists is a dex/resource path &mdash; typically referred
 * to as a "class path" &mdash; list, and the other names directories
 * containing native code libraries. Class path entries may be any of:
 * a {@code .jar} or {@code .zip} file containing an optional
 * top-level {@code classes.dex} file as well as arbitrary resources,
 * or a plain {@code .dex} file (with no possibility of associated
 * resources).
 *
 * <p>This class also contains methods to use these lists to look up
 * classes and resources.</p>
 */
/*package*/ final class DexPathList {
    private static final String DEX_SUFFIX = ".dex";
    private static final String JAR_SUFFIX = ".jar";
    private static final String ZIP_SUFFIX = ".zip";
    private static final String APK_SUFFIX = ".apk";
    /** class definition context */
    private final ClassLoader definingContext;
    /** list of dex/resource (class path) elements */
    private final Element[] dexElements;
    /** list of native library directory elements */
    private final File[] nativeLibraryDirectories;

    public DexPathList(ClassLoader definingContext, String dexPath,
            String libraryPath, File optimizedDirectory) {
        if (definingContext == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException("definingContext == null");
        }
        if (dexPath == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException("dexPath == null");
        }
        if (optimizedDirectory != null) {
            // 对于PathClassloader来说optimizedDirectory是恒等于null的
            if (!optimizedDirectory.exists())  {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                        "optimizedDirectory doesn't exist: "
                        + optimizedDirectory);
            }
            if (!(optimizedDirectory.canRead()
                            && optimizedDirectory.canWrite())) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                        "optimizedDirectory not readable/writable: "
                        + optimizedDirectory);
            }
        }
        // classLoader
        this.definingContext = definingContext;
        // 把每个dex文件的相关信息存储到Element这个对象中
        this.dexElements =
            makeDexElements(splitDexPath(dexPath), optimizedDirectory);
        // 本地so文件路径
        this.nativeLibraryDirectories = splitLibraryPath(libraryPath);
    }
    //......
}

首先是通过splitDexPath()得到含有dex文件的jar/zip/dex/apk集合:

/**
     * Splits the given dex path string into elements using the path
     * separator, pruning out any elements that do not refer to existing
     * and readable files. (That is, directories are not included in the
     * result.)
     */
    private static ArrayList<File> splitDexPath(String path) {
        return splitPaths(path, null, false);
    }


/**
     * Splits the given path strings into file elements using the path
     * separator, combining the results and filtering out elements
     * that don't exist, aren't readable, or aren't either a regular
     * file or a directory (as specified). Either string may be empty
     * or {@code null}, in which case it is ignored. If both strings
     * are empty or {@code null}, or all elements get pruned out, then
     * this returns a zero-element list.
     */
    private static ArrayList<File> splitPaths(String path1, String path2,
            boolean wantDirectories) {
        ArrayList<File> result = new ArrayList<File>();
        splitAndAdd(path1, wantDirectories, result);
        splitAndAdd(path2, wantDirectories, result);
        return result;
    }

/**
     * Helper for {@link #splitPaths}, which does the actual splitting
     * and filtering and adding to a result.
     */
    private static void splitAndAdd(String path, boolean wantDirectories,
            ArrayList<File> resultList) {
        if (path == null) {
            return;
        }
        // 路径分离
        String[] strings = path.split(Pattern.quote(File.pathSeparator));
        for (String s : strings) {
            File file = new File(s);
            if (! (file.exists() && file.canRead())) {
                continue;
            }
            /*
             * Note: There are other entities in filesystems than
             * regular files and directories.
             */
            if (wantDirectories) {
                if (!file.isDirectory()) {
                    continue;
                }
            } else {
                if (!file.isFile()) {
                    continue;
                }
            }
            resultList.add(file);
        }
    }

然后通过makeDexElements()来把dex信息保存到Element对象中:

/**
     * Makes an array of dex/resource path elements, one per element of
     * the given array.
     */
    private static Element[] makeDexElements(ArrayList<File> files,
            File optimizedDirectory) {
        ArrayList<Element> elements = new ArrayList<Element>();
        /*
         * Open all files and load the (direct or contained) dex files
         * up front.
         */
        for (File file : files) {
            ZipFile zip = null;
            DexFile dex = null;
            String name = file.getName();
            if (name.endsWith(DEX_SUFFIX)) {// 直接是.dex文件
                // Raw dex file (not inside a zip/jar).
                try {
                    dex = loadDexFile(file, optimizedDirectory);
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    System.logE("Unable to load dex file: " + file, ex);
                }
            } else if (name.endsWith(APK_SUFFIX) || name.endsWith(JAR_SUFFIX)
                    || name.endsWith(ZIP_SUFFIX)) {// 其他三种格式文件:都是压缩包啊
                try {
                    zip = new ZipFile(file);
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    /*
                     * Note: ZipException (a subclass of IOException)
                     * might get thrown by the ZipFile constructor
                     * (e.g. if the file isn't actually a zip/jar
                     * file).
                     */
                    System.logE("Unable to open zip file: " + file, ex);
                }
                try {
                    dex = loadDexFile(file, optimizedDirectory);
                } catch (IOException ignored) {
                    /*
                     * IOException might get thrown "legitimately" by
                     * the DexFile constructor if the zip file turns
                     * out to be resource-only (that is, no
                     * classes.dex file in it). Safe to just ignore
                     * the exception here, and let dex == null.
                     */
                }
            } else {
                System.logW("Unknown file type for: " + file);
            }
            // 格式符合要求,放到数组中
            if ((zip != null) || (dex != null)) {
                // 依靠DexFile创建Element对象
                elements.add(new Element(file, zip, dex));
            }
        }
        return elements.toArray(new Element[elements.size()]);
    }
/**
     * Constructs a {@code DexFile} instance, as appropriate depending
     * on whether {@code optimizedDirectory} is {@code null}.
      * .dex文件转成DexFile对象
     */

        } else {
            String optimizedPath = optimizedPathFor(file, optimizedDirectory);
            return DexFile.loadDex(file.getPath(), optimizedPath, 0);
        }
    }

/**
     * Converts a dex/jar file path and an output directory to an
     * output file path for an associated optimized dex file.
     * 主要是对非.dex结尾的文件加上.dex后缀,统一为.dex后缀
     * 没有使用.odex为后缀,是因为构建系统会把.odex文件认为是只含有资源的文件
     */
    private static String optimizedPathFor(File path,
            File optimizedDirectory) {
        /*

         */
        String fileName = path.getName();
        if (!fileName.endsWith(DEX_SUFFIX)) {
            int lastDot = fileName.lastIndexOf(".");
            if (lastDot < 0) {
                fileName += DEX_SUFFIX;
            } else {
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(lastDot + 4);
                sb.append(fileName, 0, lastDot);
                sb.append(DEX_SUFFIX);

            }
        }
        File result = new File(optimizedDirectory, fileName);
        return result.getPath();
    }

以上,是android中类加载过程,从中可以发现,android中的classloader能加载的文件格式只能为zip/apk/dex/jar,加载目标是把dex文件转化成一个Element对象,以供后续查找使用。

5.原理分析之MultiDex.install(Context)

我们先来看一下源码:

    }

整个加载过程主要分为3步骤:

  • clearOldDexDir():清理过期数据
  • MultiDexExtractor.load:把dex转换成对应的zip文件
  • installSecondaryDexes:dex转换成对应的Element对象
  1. 清理过期文件:删除/data/data/(pkg)/files/secondary-dexes路径下的所有文件和该文件夹。源码如下:
private static void clearOldDexDir(Context context) throws Exception {
        // dexDir = /data/data/com.example.android.animationsdemo/files/secondary-dexes
        File dexDir = new File(context.getFilesDir(), OLD_SECONDARY_FOLDER_NAME);
        if (dexDir.isDirectory()) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Clearing old secondary dex dir (" + dexDir.getPath() + ").");
            File[] files = dexDir.listFiles();
            if (files == null) {
                Log.w(TAG, "Failed to list secondary dex dir content (" + dexDir.getPath() + ").");
                return;
            }
            for (File oldFile : files) {
                Log.i(TAG, "Trying to delete old file " + oldFile.getPath() + " of size "
                        + oldFile.length());
                if (!oldFile.delete()) {
                    Log.w(TAG, "Failed to delete old file " + oldFile.getPath());
                } else {
                    Log.i(TAG, "Deleted old file " + oldFile.getPath());
                }
            }
            if (!dexDir.delete()) {
                Log.w(TAG, "Failed to delete secondary dex dir " + dexDir.getPath());
            } else {
                Log.i(TAG, "Deleted old secondary dex dir " + dexDir.getPath());
            }
        }
    }
  1. 把dex文件转换成对应的zip文件:classesN.dex-->/data/data/(包名)/code_cache/secondary-dexes/(包名)-1.apk.classesN.zip。源码如下:
static List<File> load(Context context, ApplicationInfo applicationInfo, File dexDir,
            boolean forceReload) throws IOException {
        Log.i(TAG, "MultiDexExtractor.load(" + applicationInfo.sourceDir + ", " + forceReload + ")");
        // sourceApk = /data/app/com.example.android.animationsdemo-1.apk
        final File sourceApk = new File(applicationInfo.sourceDir);
        long currentCrc = getZipCrc(sourceApk);
        // Validity check and extraction must be done only while the lock file has been taken.
        File lockFile = new File(dexDir, LOCK_FILENAME);
        RandomAccessFile lockRaf = new RandomAccessFile(lockFile, "rw");
        FileChannel lockChannel = null;
        FileLock cacheLock = null;
        List<File> files;
        IOException releaseLockException = null;
        try {
            lockChannel = lockRaf.getChannel();
            Log.i(TAG, "Blocking on lock " + lockFile.getPath());
            cacheLock = lockChannel.lock();
            Log.i(TAG, lockFile.getPath() + " locked");
            if (!forceReload && !isModified(context, sourceApk, currentCrc)) {
                // APK信息没有发生变化
                try {
                    // dex对应的zip文件已经存在
                    files = loadExistingExtractions(context, sourceApk, dexDir);
                } catch (IOException ioe) {
                    Log.w(TAG, "Failed to reload existing extracted secondary dex files,"
                            + " falling back to fresh extraction", ioe);
                    files = performExtractions(sourceApk, dexDir);
                    putStoredApkInfo(context,
                            getTimeStamp(sourceApk), currentCrc, files.size() + 1);
                }
            } else {
                // second dex 发生了改变
                Log.i(TAG, "Detected that extraction must be performed.");
                files = performExtractions(sourceApk, dexDir);
                // 保存APK相关信息:时间戳、总dex数等
                putStoredApkInfo(context, getTimeStamp(sourceApk), currentCrc, files.size() + 1);
            }
        } finally {
            if (cacheLock != null) {
                try {
                    cacheLock.release();
                } catch (IOException e) {

                    releaseLockException = e;
                }
            }
            if (lockChannel != null) {
                closeQuietly(lockChannel);
            }
            closeQuietly(lockRaf);
        }
        if (releaseLockException != null) {
            throw releaseLockException;
        }
        Log.i(TAG, "load found " + files.size() + " secondary dex files");
        return files;
    }
