前几天写动画时遇到这个奇怪问题，百度了一圈大概知道了是因为在动画时执行了removeView导致的。但是都没有更具体的解答，无奈之下翻看了一下原码终于找到了本质的问题。
@Override
protected void dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) {
boolean usingRenderNodeProperties = canvas.isRecordingFor(mRenderNode);
final int childrenCount = mChildrenCount;
final View[] children = mChildren;
int flags = mGroupFlags;
if ((flags & FLAG_RUN_ANIMATION) != 0 && canAnimate()) {
final boolean buildCache = !isHardwareAccelerated();
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++) {
final View child = children[i];
if ((child.mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) == VISIBLE) {
final LayoutParams params = child.getLayoutParams();
attachLayoutAnimationParameters(child, params, i, childrenCount);
bindLayoutAnimation(child);
}
}
final LayoutAnimationController controller = mLayoutAnimationController;
if (controller.willOverlap()) {
mGroupFlags |= FLAG_OPTIMIZE_INVALIDATE;
}
controller.start();
mGroupFlags &= ~FLAG_RUN_ANIMATION;
mGroupFlags &= ~FLAG_ANIMATION_DONE;
if (mAnimationListener != null) {
mAnimationListener.onAnimationStart(controller.getAnimation());
}
}
int clipSaveCount = 0;
final boolean clipToPadding = (flags & CLIP_TO_PADDING_MASK) == CLIP_TO_PADDING_MASK;
if (clipToPadding) {
clipSaveCount = canvas.save(Canvas.CLIP_SAVE_FLAG);
canvas.clipRect(mScrollX + mPaddingLeft, mScrollY + mPaddingTop,
mScrollX + mRight - mLeft - mPaddingRight,
mScrollY + mBottom - mTop - mPaddingBottom);
}
// We will draw our child's animation, let's reset the flag
mPrivateFlags &= ~PFLAG_DRAW_ANIMATION;
mGroupFlags &= ~FLAG_INVALIDATE_REQUIRED;
boolean more = false;
final long drawingTime = getDrawingTime();
if (usingRenderNodeProperties) canvas.insertReorderBarrier();
final int transientCount = mTransientIndices == null ? 0 : mTransientIndices.size();
int transientIndex = transientCount != 0 ? 0 : -1;
// Only use the preordered list if not HW accelerated, since the HW pipeline will do the
// draw reordering internally
final ArrayList<View> preorderedList = usingRenderNodeProperties
? null : buildOrderedChildList();
final boolean customOrder = preorderedList == null
&& isChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled();
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++) {
while (transientIndex >= 0 && mTransientIndices.get(transientIndex) == i) {
final View transientChild = mTransientViews.get(transientIndex);
if ((transientChild.mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) == VISIBLE ||
transientChild.getAnimation() != null) {
more |= drawChild(canvas, transientChild, drawingTime);
}
transientIndex++;
if (transientIndex >= transientCount) {
transientIndex = -1;
}
}
final int childIndex = getAndVerifyPreorderedIndex(childrenCount, i, customOrder);
final View child = getAndVerifyPreorderedView(preorderedList, children, childIndex);
if ((child.mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) == VISIBLE || child.getAnimation() != null) {
more |= drawChild(canvas, child, drawingTime);
}
}
while (transientIndex >= 0) {
// there may be additional transient views after the normal views
final View transientChild = mTransientViews.get(transientIndex);
if ((transientChild.mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) == VISIBLE ||
transientChild.getAnimation() != null) {
more |= drawChild(canvas, transientChild, drawingTime);
}
transientIndex++;
if (transientIndex >= transientCount) {
break;
}
}
if (preorderedList != null) preorderedList.clear();
// Draw any disappearing views that have animations
if (mDisappearingChildren != null) {
final ArrayList<View> disappearingChildren = mDisappearingChildren;
final int disappearingCount = disappearingChildren.size() - 1;
// Go backwards -- we may delete as animations finish
for (int i = disappearingCount; i >= 0; i--) {
final View child = disappearingChildren.get(i);
more |= drawChild(canvas, child, drawingTime);
}
}
if (usingRenderNodeProperties) canvas.insertInorderBarrier();
if (debugDraw()) {
onDebugDraw(canvas);
}
if (clipToPadding) {
canvas.restoreToCount(clipSaveCount);
}
// mGroupFlags might have been updated by drawChild()
flags = mGroupFlags;
if ((flags & FLAG_INVALIDATE_REQUIRED) == FLAG_INVALIDATE_REQUIRED) {
invalidate(true);
}
if ((flags & FLAG_ANIMATION_DONE) == 0 && (flags & FLAG_NOTIFY_ANIMATION_LISTENER) == 0 &&
mLayoutAnimationController.isDone() && !more) {
// We want to erase the drawing cache and notify the listener after the
// next frame is drawn because one extra invalidate() is caused by
// drawChild() after the animation is over
mGroupFlags |= FLAG_NOTIFY_ANIMATION_LISTENER;
final Runnable end = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
notifyAnimationListener();
}
};
post(end);
}
}
private void removeFromArray(int index) {
final View[] children = mChildren;
if (!(mTransitioningViews != null && mTransitioningViews.contains(children[index]))) {
children[index].mParent = null;
}
final int count = mChildrenCount;
if (index == count - 1) {
children[--mChildrenCount] = null;
} else if (index >= 0 && index < count) {
System.arraycopy(children, index + 1, children, index, count - index - 1);
children[--mChildrenCount] = null;
} else {
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();
}
if (mLastTouchDownIndex == index) {
mLastTouchDownTime = 0;
mLastTouchDownIndex = -1;
} else if (mLastTouchDownIndex > index) {
mLastTouchDownIndex--;
}
}
仔细阅读这段代码可以发现，在开始处用了一个局部变量childrenCount来记录子View的数量。如果在遍历child的过程中调用removeView删除一个child，就会导致mChildren数组中的最后一个元素为null，当遍历到最后一个child时就会发生NPE异常，因为childrenCount是在dispatchDraw方法开始时就赋值好的，所以在遍历child过程中调用removeView删除view不会及时更新这个值。而且整个dispatchDraw方法中又都是使用：
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++) {
final View child = children[i];
if ((child.mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) == VISIBLE) {
final LayoutParams params = child.getLayoutParams();
attachLayoutAnimationParameters(child, params, i, childrenCount);
bindLayoutAnimation(child);
}
}
来遍历View的。通过post方法在下一个loop循环removeView就不会有这个问题了
