前面我们在两篇文章Android应用程序启动过程源代码分析和Android应用程序内部启动Activity过程（startActivity）的源代码分析时，分别在Step 9和Step 8中分析了Activity在启动过程中与任务相关的函数ActivityStack.startActivityUncheckedLocked函数中，它定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack { ...... final int startActivityUncheckedLocked(ActivityRecord r, ActivityRecord sourceRecord, Uri[] grantedUriPermissions, int grantedMode, boolean onlyIfNeeded, boolean doResume) { final Intent intent = r.intent; final int callingUid = r.launchedFromUid; int launchFlags = intent.getFlags(); ...... ActivityRecord notTop = (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP) != 0 ? r : null; ...... if (sourceRecord == null) { ...... } else if (sourceRecord.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) { ...... } else if (r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE || r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK) { // The activity being started is a single instance... it always // gets launched into its own task. launchFlags |= Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK; } ...... boolean addingToTask = false; if (((launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) != 0 && (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK) == 0) || r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK || r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) { // If bring to front is requested, and no result is requested, and // we can find a task that was started with this same // component, then instead of launching bring that one to the front. if (r.resultTo == null) { // See if there is a task to bring to the front. If this is // a SINGLE_INSTANCE activity, there can be one and only one // instance of it in the history, and it is always in its own // unique task, so we do a special search. ActivityRecord taskTop = r.launchMode != ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE ? findTaskLocked(intent, r.info) : findActivityLocked(intent, r.info); if (taskTop != null) { ...... if ((launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) != 0 || r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK || r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) { // In this situation we want to remove all activities // from the task up to the one being started. In most // cases this means we are resetting the task to its // initial state. ActivityRecord top = performClearTaskLocked( taskTop.task.taskId, r, launchFlags, true); if (top != null) { ...... } else { // A special case: we need to // start the activity because it is not currently // running, and the caller has asked to clear the // current task to have this activity at the top. addingToTask = true; // Now pretend like this activity is being started // by the top of its task, so it is put in the // right place. sourceRecord = taskTop; } } else if (r.realActivity.equals(taskTop.task.realActivity)) { ...... } else if ((launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED) == 0) { ...... } else if (!taskTop.task.rootWasReset) { ...... } ...... } } } ...... if (r.packageName != null) { // If the activity being launched is the same as the one currently // at the top, then we need to check if it should only be launched // once. ActivityRecord top = topRunningNonDelayedActivityLocked(notTop); if (top != null && r.resultTo == null) { if (top.realActivity.equals(r.realActivity)) { if (top.app != null && top.app.thread != null) { ...... } } } } else { ...... } boolean newTask = false; // Should this be considered a new task? if (r.resultTo == null && !addingToTask && (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) != 0) { // todo: should do better management of integers. mService.mCurTask++; if (mService.mCurTask <= 0) { mService.mCurTask = 1; } r.task = new TaskRecord(mService.mCurTask, r.info, intent, (r.info.flags&ActivityInfo.FLAG_CLEAR_TASK_ON_LAUNCH) != 0); if (DEBUG_TASKS) Slog.v(TAG, "Starting new activity " + r + " in new task " + r.task); newTask = true; if (mMainStack) { mService.addRecentTaskLocked(r.task); } } else if (sourceRecord != null) { if (!addingToTask && (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) != 0) { ...... } else if (!addingToTask && (launchFlags&Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT) != 0) { ...... } // An existing activity is starting this new activity, so we want // to keep the new one in the same task as the one that is starting // it. r.task = sourceRecord.task; ...... } else { ...... } ...... startActivityLocked(r, newTask, doResume); return START_SUCCESS; } ...... }首先是获得用来启动Activity的Intent的Flags，并且保存在launchFlags变量中，这里，launcFlags的Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP位没有置位，因此，notTop为null。
接下来的这个if语句：
if (sourceRecord == null) { ...... } else if (sourceRecord.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) { ...... } else if (r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE || r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK) { // The activity being started is a single instance... it always // gets launched into its own task. launchFlags |= Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK; }
这里变量r的类型为ActivityRecord，它表示即将在启动的Activity，在这个例子中，即为SubActivity，因此，这里的r.launchMode等于ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK，于是，无条件将launchFlags的Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP位置为1，表示这个SubActivity要在新的任务中启动，但是别急，还要看看其它条件是否满足，如果条件都满足，才可以在新的任务中启动这个SubActivity。
接下将addingToTask变量初始化为false，这个变量也将决定是否要将SubActivity在新的任务中启动，从名字我们就可以看出，默认不增加到原有的任务中启动，即要在新的任务中启动。这里的r.launchMode == ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_TASK条成立，条件r.resultTo == null也成立，它表这个Activity不需要将结果返回给启动它的Activity。于是会进入接下来的if语句中，执行：
ActivityRecord taskTop = r.launchMode != ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE ? findTaskLocked(intent, r.info) : findActivityLocked(intent, r.info)
这里的条件r.launchMode != ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE成立，于是执行findTaskLocked函数，这个函数也是定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStack.java文件中：
public class ActivityStack { ...... /** * Returns the top activity in any existing task matching the given * Intent. Returns null if no such task is found. */ private ActivityRecord findTaskLocked(Intent intent, ActivityInfo info) { ComponentName cls = intent.getComponent(); if (info.targetActivity != null) { cls = new ComponentName(info.packageName, info.targetActivity); } TaskRecord cp = null; final int N = mHistory.size(); for (int i=(N-1); i>=0; i--) { ActivityRecord r = (ActivityRecord)mHistory.get(i); if (!r.finishing && r.task != cp && r.launchMode != ActivityInfo.LAUNCH_SINGLE_INSTANCE) { cp = r.task; //Slog.i(TAG, "Comparing existing cls=" + r.task.intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString() // + "/aff=" + r.task.affinity + " to new cls=" // + intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString() + "/aff=" + taskAffinity); if (r.task.affinity != null) { if (r.task.affinity.equals(info.taskAffinity)) { //Slog.i(TAG, "Found matching affinity!"); return r; } } else if (r.task.intent != null && r.task.intent.getComponent().equals(cls)) { //Slog.i(TAG, "Found matching class!"); //dump(); //Slog.i(TAG, "For Intent " + intent + " bringing to top: " + r.intent); return r; } else if (r.task.affinityIntent != null && r.task.affinityIntent.getComponent().equals(cls)) { //Slog.i(TAG, "Found matching class!"); //dump(); //Slog.i(TAG, "For Intent " + intent + " bringing to top: " + r.intent); return r; } } } return null; } ...... }
