未正确自定义 View 导致 ViewBinding 使用 Crash：Missing required view with ID_综合

今天使用 ViewBinding 时遇到一个 Crash：java.lang.NullPointerException: Missing required view with ID，最终发现是与自定义 View 有关系……

一、背景

最近使用 ViewBinding 时，遇到这么一个报错：

E AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

整体代码逻辑大致是：Activity 创建时跳转到一个 Fragment，这个 Fragment 对应的 XML 里很简单——FrameLayout 里套了一个自定义 View。错误堆栈提示找不到资源 id my_gl_surface_view。这让我不禁怀疑是不是自定义 View 导致的。

二、分析过程

2.1 找到 `ViewBinding` 生成的 UI 类

ViewBinding 的大致原理是在编译时，把开启了 ViewBinding 功能的布局资源 XML 生成对应的 Java 类。例如在这个 case 中，对应的类文件位置为：app/build/generated/data_binding_base_class_source_out/debug/out/me/ljh/app/databinding/FragmentGlesDemoBinding.java。

2.2 分析关键代码

以下代码片段是从 FragmentGlesDemoBinding 中摘出：

// file: app/build/generated/data_binding_base_class_source_out/debug/out/me/ljh/app/databinding/FragmentGlesDemoBinding.java
public final class FragmentGlesDemoBinding implements ViewBinding {
    @NonNullpublic static FragmentGlesDemoBinding bind(@NonNull View rootView) {
    // The body of this method is generated in a way you would not otherwise write.// This is done to optimize the compiled bytecode for size and performance.int id;missingId: {
    id = R.id.my_gl_surface_view;MyGLSurfaceView myGlSurfaceView = ViewBindings.findChildViewById(rootView, id);if (myGlSurfaceView == null) {
    // 无法找到 view，则 break 准备抛出异常break missingId;}// 递归处理 R.id.my_gl_surface_view 的子 viewreturn new FragmentGlesDemoBinding((FrameLayout) rootView, myGlSurfaceView);}String missingId = rootView.getResources().getResourceName(id);throw new NullPointerException("Missing required view with ID: ".concat(missingId));}
}

考虑到该问题跟布局文件密切相关，放上布局文件的源码：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:background="?attr/fullscreenBackgroundColor"android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.LearnAndroidOpenGL.FullscreenContainer"tools:context=".demo.GLESDemoFragment"><!-- 这里使用了自定义布局 --><me.ljh.app.widget.MyGLSurfaceViewandroid:id="@+id/my_gl_surface_view"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent" /></FrameLayout>

其中，MyGLSurfaceView 的实现如下：

class MyGLSurfaceView(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : GLSurfaceView(context) {
    // MyGLRender 是继承自 GLSurfaceView.Render 接口的一个类，与这里的报错并无关系private val renderer: MyGLRender = MyGLRender()init {
    setEGLContextClientVersion(3)setRenderer(renderer)renderMode = RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY}constructor(context: Context) : this(context, null)
}

2.2.1 怀疑点1：与 ViewBinding 不支持布局中有自定义的 View 控件有关？

虽然觉得不可能，但还是验证了下：

class GLESDemoFragment : Fragment() {
    private var _binding: FragmentGlesDemoBinding? = nullprivate val mBinding get() = _binding!!override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater,container: ViewGroup?,savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View {
    // 步骤一：将 ViewBinding 的代码注释掉//_binding = FragmentGlesDemoBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)// return mBinding.root// 步骤二：使用 inflate XML 的方式加载 Viewval rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_gles_demo, container, false)return rootView}
}

意外发现，这样竟然不会奔溃，可以运行了！
未正确自定义 View 导致 ViewBinding 使用 Crash：Missing required view with ID

不会吧，真与 ViewBinding 有关？抱着怀疑、实事求是的态度，尝试在上面的基础上，通过 findViewById 拿到 view 实例。

val rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_gles_demo, container, false)
val myGlView = rootView.findViewById(R.id.my_gl_surface_view)
Log.d(TAG, "my gl view $myGlView")
return rootView

果不其然，竟然获取到的为 null ！！

这说明在根 view 中，找不到 ID 为 my_gl_surface_view 的子 view，但从这并不复杂的 XML 布局中，可以清晰看到，ID 确确实实是对的，哪里错了呢？并且，为什么通过手动 inflate 布局 XML 的方式，程序能运行的好好地呢？

2.3 发现问题

考虑到用了自定义 View，这种情况下，怀疑大概是自定义 View 写的有问题。

回到 MyGLSurfaceView 的源码，突然注意到它的构造函数。

class MyGLSurfaceView(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : GLSurfaceView(context) {
    // ......constructor(context: Context) : this(context, null)
}

最开始自定义 View 的时候，主构造函数只用到了一个 Context，然后发现在 XML 中引入布局后，运行程序会发生奔溃。

因此，给 MyGlSurfaceView 的主构造函数加入了 AttributeSet 参数，便没有了 Crash。但并没有把该参数传递给父类 GLSurfaceView。

猜测很大概率是这里，因此加上后尝试下。

class MyGLSurfaceView(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : GLSurfaceView(context, attrs) {
    // ......constructor(context: Context) : this(context, null)
}

通过 findViewById 能拿到 view 实例了，并且使用 ViewBinding 也正常了。

看来真是这里的问题，但新问题来了，

这个参数是干嘛用的？
为什么 XML 方式创建 View 时一定需要它？
为什么没有这个参数，findViewById 会找不到 View？如果确实要这样，有其他办法可以拿到吗？
为什么自定义 View，通过 setContenxtView(MyGLSurfaceView(this)) 类似的方式可以正常使用？

三、探究原理

3.1 `AttributeSet` 是什么？

在 AS 中，对着 AttributeSet 按 Ctrl + B (Windows) / Command + B (MacOS)，跳转到它的定义。

/*** A collection of attributes, as found associated with a tag in an XML* document. Often you will not want to use this interface directly, instead* passing it to {@link android.content.res.Resources.Theme#obtainStyledAttributes(AttributeSet, int[], int, int)* Resources.Theme.obtainStyledAttributes()}* which will take care of parsing the attributes for you. In particular,* the Resources API will convert resource references (attribute values such as* "@string/my_label" in the original XML) to the desired type* for you; if you use AttributeSet directly then you will need to manually* check for resource references* (with {@link #getAttributeResourceValue(int, int)}) and do the resource* lookup yourself if needed. Direct use of AttributeSet also prevents the* application of themes and styles when retrieving attribute values.* * <p>This interface provides an efficient mechanism for retrieving* data from compiled XML files, which can be retrieved for a particular* XmlPullParser through {@link Xml#asAttributeSet* Xml.asAttributeSet()}. Normally this will return an implementation* of the interface that works on top of a generic XmlPullParser, however it* is more useful in conjunction with compiled XML resources:* * <pre>* XmlPullParser parser = resources.getXml(myResource);* AttributeSet attributes = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);</pre>* * <p>The implementation returned here, unlike using* the implementation on top of a generic XmlPullParser,* is highly optimized by retrieving pre-computed information that was* generated by aapt when compiling your resources. For example,* the {@link #getAttributeFloatValue(int, float)} method returns a floating* point number previous stored in the compiled resource instead of parsing* at runtime the string originally in the XML file.* * <p>This interface also provides additional information contained in the* compiled XML resource that is not available in a normal XML file, such* as {@link #getAttributeNameResource(int)} which returns the resource* identifier associated with a particular XML attribute name.** @see XmlPullParser*/

一大串有点长，总结就是：这是 XML 里面，对一个 View 配置的属性集合。比如android:id="@+id/my_gl_surface_view"、android:layout_width="match_parent"、android:layout_height="match_parent"，它们会被 XML Parser 解析成一个个 Java 对象，AttributeSet 就是这些对象的集合。

这就回答了前面的 1、2、3、4 个问题：

这个参数，用于 XML 转换为 Java 对象时，传递 XML 中关于 view 实例的描述信息，包括它的id、宽、高……
显然，通过 XML 绘制 View 的方式一定会有这个参数。
没有这个参数，通过 android:id="@+id/my_gl_surface_view 方式指定的 id 自然就不会对 view 生效；如果一定要获取呢？既然能拿到父 view，就肯定有办法。我目前想到的是通过 rootView.children 的方式去遍历获取子 view 对象。但说实话没必要这样折腾自己。
显然，通过代码的方式，当然可以不提供了。

四、结束语

感觉好快就破案了，貌似有些潦草……

其实这问题在于，要理解 XML 到 UI 的原理，如果理解了，那就不会很难。
