APT—annotation processing tool

apt(Annotation processing tool) 是在编译时,扫描和处理注解的一个构建工具,Java 5 时就已经有了,直到 Java 6 才提供 API 给开发者,apt 的道路实在坎坷,到了 Java 7 又被废弃。现在,该功能由 javac 来实现,我们可以在 javac 编译时源代码额外生成 java 源代码(也可以是其它类型的文件),那么如何处理注解,需要我们了解 AbstractProcessor 这个类。

AbstractProcessor

AbstractProcessorjavac 扫描和处理注解的关键类,在所有的 ProcessorAPI 中都可以看到它们都继承自 AbstractProcessor ,像下面的代码示例:

package cn.septenary.processor;

public class MyProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {

@Override
public synchronized void init(ProcessingEnvironment env){ }

@Override
public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annoations, RoundEnvironment env) { }

@Override
public Set<String> getSupportedAnnotationTypes() { }

@Override
public SourceVersion getSupportedSourceVersion() { }

}
  • init(ProcessingEnvironment env)javac 会在 Processor 创建时调用并执行的初始化操作,该方法会传入 一个参数 ProcessingEnvironment env ,通过 env 可以访问 ElementsTypesFiler等工具类。
  • process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations, RoundEnvironment env) :它是每个 processor 的主方法,可以在这个方法中扫描和处理注解,并生成新的 java 源代码,通过参数 RoundEnvironment env 可以找到我们想要的某一个被注解的元素
  • getSupportedAnnotationTypes() 指定哪些注解需要注册
  • getSupportedSourceVersion() 指定支持的 java 版本,通常返回 SourceVersion.latestSupported(),如果只想支持到 Java 6 可以返回 SourceVersion.RELEASE_6

Java 7 中可以不用重写 getSupportedAnnotationTypes()getSupportedSourceVersion()

@SupportedSourceVersion(SourceVersion.latestSupported())
@SupportedAnnotationTypes({
// Set of full qullified annotation type names
})
public class MyProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {

@Override
public synchronized void init(ProcessingEnvironment env){ }

@Override
public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annoations, RoundEnvironment env) { }
}

Register Your Processor

如何让 javac 执行时调用我自定义的 MyProcessor 呢,需要注册自定义的 MyProcessor 来完成

1.MyProcessor 需要打包到 jar 包中,就像其它普通的 .jar 文件一样,这里命名为 MyProcessor.jar
2.但 MyProcessor.jar 中多了一个特殊的文件:javax.annotation.processing.Processor 它存储在 jar/META-INF/services/ 文件夹下,MyProcessor.jar 的结构是这样的:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
MyProcessor.jar
- cn
- septenary
- processor
- MyProcessor.class
- META-INF
- services
- javax.annotation.processing.Processor

javax.annotation.processing.Processor 文件列出了要注册的 Processor,每个 Processor 逐行列出

1
2
3
cn.septenary.processor.MyProcessor
com.foo.OtherProcessor
net.foo.SpecialProcessor

构建项目时 javac 自动检测并读取 javax.annotation.processing.Processor 来注册列出来的 Processor

Android Studio 中实现编译时动态生成代码

1.新建工程,分别创建三个模板

  • app module (Android module)
  • api module (Java module)
  • compiler module (Java module)

2.根目录 build.gradle

需要声明依赖插件 android-apt,它是将 Android Studio 与 annotation processors 结合的一个插件,构建工程时,它会辅助 javac 执行 processor, More

buildscript {
...
dependencies {
...
classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
}
}
...

3.app module

Android 模板,使用 android-apt插件,依赖 api modulecompiler module

1.使用自定义注解 @MyAnnotation 的类 Bean:

12
13
@MyAnnotation
public class Bean {
public String name;
public String address;
public Bean(String name, String address) {
this.name = name;
this.address = address;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return StringUtil.createString(this);
}
}

app module 中并没有 StringUtil 这个类,不考虑其他 module ,编写 Bean 中代码时,IDE 会警告找不到 StringUtil这个类,它是在编译时由 javaccompiler.jar 自动生成,继续往下看

2.build.gradle :

apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'
...
...
dependencies {
...
apt project(':compiler')
}

4.lib module

普通的 java 模板,自定义注解 MyAnnotation

build.gradle :

1
2
apply plugin: 'java'
...

MyAnnotation:

1
2
3
4
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.CLASS)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface MyAnnotation {
}

5.compiler module

普通的 java 模板

1.自定义注解处理器: MyProcessor
2.引入了三个依赖:

  • lib ,使用自定义的注解 MyAnnotation
  • auto-service, 用来自动生成 javax.annotation.processing.Processor 文件, More
  • javapoet ,自动生成代码的工具类库, More

compile 'com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.0-rc2'
compile 'com.squareup:javapoet:1.4.0'

6.构建 api module

生成 api.jar ,供 lib module app module 使用

7.构建 lib module

生成了 complier.jar ,其中关键文件 javax.annotation.processing.Processor 也被自动添加到 jar 包中

complier.jar

8.构建 app module

构建后会看到,IDE 不在警告 TextUtil 找不到的错误了,他的文件被自动生成在:

TextUtil
