AccountManager.addAccount()
public AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> addAccount(final String accountType,
final String authTokenType, final String[] requiredFeatures,
final Bundle addAccountOptions,
final Activity activity, AccountManagerCallback<Bundle> callback, Handler handler) {
...
}
在程序中创建指定类型的系统帐号，需要提供一个AccountManagerCallback类型的回调，后面会讲到其作用。
本方法要求用户添加指定类型的帐号。
此种帐号类型对应的authenticator将加载对应的UI来处理这个请求。
方法返回一个AccountManagerFuture对象，可解析出一个Bundle，包含以下信息：
- KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME: 创建的帐号的名称
- KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE: 帐号类型
本方法创建一个匿名AmsTask实例并启动：
return new AmsTask(activity, handler, callback) {
public void doWork() throws RemoteException {
mService.addAcount(mResponse, accountType, authTokenType,
requiredFeatures, activity != null, optionsIn);
}
}.start();这里，以异步的方式请求AccountManagerService.addAccount()
start()方法立即返回，返回值是AccountManagerFuture类型的。
AccountManagerService.addAccount()
这个方法中，创建一个Session类型的匿名实例，并调用其bind()方法，最终捆绑到应用程序提供的authenticator service：
new Session(accounts, response, accountType, expectActivityLaunch,
true /* stripAuthTokenFromResult */) {
public void run() throws RemoteException {
mAuthenticator.addAccount(this, mAccountType, authTokenType, requiredFeatures,
options);
} protected String toDebugString(long now) {
return super.toDebugString(now) + ", addAccount"
+ ", accountType " + accountType
+ ", requiredFeatures "
+ (requiredFeatures != null
? TextUtils.join(",", requiredFeatures)
: null);
}
}.bind();
这是Session.bind()方法的相关细节：
void bind() {
...
if (!bindToAuthenticator(mAccountType)) {
Log.d(TAG, "bind attempt failed for " + toDebugString());
onError(AccountManager.ERROR_CODE_REMOTE_EXCEPTION, "bind failure");
}
}
bindToAuthenticator()方法找到对应的组件名称（应用程序中定义的相关service），并且对Service发起绑定：
private boolean bindToAuthenticator(String authenticatorType) {
final AccountAuthenticatorCache.ServiceInfo<AuthenticatorDescription> authenticatorInfo;
authenticatorInfo = mAuthenticatorCache.getServiceInfo(
AuthenticatorDescription.newKey(authenticatorType), mAccounts.userId);
...
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(AccountManager.ACTION_AUTHENTICATOR_INTENT);
intent.setComponent(authenticatorInfo.componentName);
...
if (!mContext.bindService(intent, this, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE, mAccounts.userId)) {
...
}
return true;
}Session类实现了ServiceConnection接口，因此，当成功绑定到对应的应用程序中的Service，其实现的onServiceConnected()方法将被调用：
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
mAuthenticator = IAccountAuthenticator.Stub.asInterface(service);
try {
run();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
onError(AccountManager.ERROR_CODE_REMOTE_EXCEPTION,
"remote exception");
}
}这里的service，即是AbstractAuthenticator抽象类提供的IBinder:
public abstract class AbstractAccountAuthenticator {
...
private class Transport extends IAccountAuthenticator.Stub {
public void addAccount(IAccountAuthenticatorResponse response, String accountType,
String authTokenType, String[] features, Bundle options)
throws RemoteException {
...
try {
final Bundle result = AbstractAccountAuthenticator.this.addAccount(
new AccountAuthenticatorResponse(response),
accountType, authTokenType, features, options);
...
}
...
}
...
}
...
private Transport mTransport = new Transport();
/**
* @return the IBinder for the AccountAuthenticator
*/
public final IBinder getIBinder() {
return mTransport.asBinder();
}
...
}AbstractAccountAuthenticator的内部类Transport是IAccountAuthenticator接口的一个实现。后者规定了Authenticator的一组行为。
以添加帐号的操作为例，作为接口实现的Transport的addAccount()方法调用了AbstractAccountAuthenticator类的addAccount()抽象方法，这个方法的具体实现，则由应用程序中定义的authenticator子类来完成。
这里涉及到IPC，应用程序是服务端，提供服务的实现，而AccountManagerService则是客户端，负责通过代理对象发起调用。
Email的authenticator实现：
class PopImapAuthenticator extends AbstractAccountAuthenticator {
...
@Override
public Bundle addAccount(AccountAuthenticatorResponse response, String accountType,
String authTokenType, String[] requiredFeatures, Bundle options)
throws NetworkErrorException {
// There are two cases here:
// 1) We are called with a username/password; this comes from the traditional email
// app UI; we simply create the account and return the proper bundle
if (options != null && options.containsKey(OPTIONS_PASSWORD)
&& options.containsKey(OPTIONS_USERNAME)) {
final Account account = new Account(options.getString(OPTIONS_USERNAME),
AccountManagerTypes.TYPE_POP_IMAP);
AccountManager.get(PopImapAuthenticatorService.this).addAccountExplicitly(
account, options.getString(OPTIONS_PASSWORD), null);
...
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME, options.getString(OPTIONS_USERNAME));
b.putString(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE, AccountManagerTypes.TYPE_POP_IMAP);
return b;
// 2) The other case is that we're creating a new account from an Account manager
// activity. In this case, we add an intent that will be used to gather the
// account information...
} else {
Bundle b = new Bundle();
Intent intent =
AccountSetupBasics.actionSetupPopImapIntent(PopImapAuthenticatorService.this);
intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATOR_RESPONSE, response);
b.putParcelable(AccountManager.KEY_INTENT, intent);
return b;
}
}1) 如果是Email应用程序内部添加新的电子邮件帐号，此时已经取得了帐号的用户名和密码，那么直接创建对应的系统帐号，并调用AccountManager.addAccountExplicitly()将其添加到系统帐号数据库中，并返回帐号名称和类型。
2) 如果是从外部，比如系统设置中添加Email帐号，则创建指向Email应用中创建帐号对应的activity的Intent，并返回。这样，AmsTask实例在完成时会通过Handler机制调用AddAccountSettings活动提交的一个回调：
private AccountManagerCallback<Bundle> mCallback = new AccountManagerCallback<Bundle>() {
public void run(AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> future) {
boolean done = true;
try {
Bundle bundle = future.getResult();
//bundle.keySet();
Intent intent = (Intent) bundle.get(AccountManager.KEY_INTENT);
if (intent != null) {
done = false;
Bundle addAccountOptions = new Bundle();
addAccountOptions.putParcelable(KEY_CALLER_IDENTITY, mPendingIntent);
addAccountOptions.putBoolean(EXTRA_HAS_MULTIPLE_USERS,
Utils.hasMultipleUsers(AddAccountSettings.this));
intent.putExtras(addAccountOptions);
startActivityForResult(intent, ADD_ACCOUNT_REQUEST);
...
}这样就会启动Email创建帐号的activity，之后又会走到1)中的步骤了。
