当我们在startActivity时，Activity类中第一个被调用的方法是attach，在这个方法里会new PhoneWindow，PhoneWindow里会生成DecorView，这个DecorView就是window的根view。

根据windowmanager的使用方法，我们需要探究的是，什么时候调用的windowmanager的addview方法，将DecorView添加。

结论是在ActivityThread的handleResumeActivity里

    final void handleResumeActivity(IBinder token,
            boolean clearHide, boolean isForward, boolean reallyResume, int seq, String reason) {
        ...
            if (r.window == null && !a.mFinished && willBeVisible) {
                r.window = r.activity.getWindow();
                View decor = r.window.getDecorView();
                decor.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                ViewManager wm = a.getWindowManager();
                WindowManager.LayoutParams l = r.window.getAttributes();
                a.mDecor = decor;
                l.type = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_BASE_APPLICATION;
                l.softInputMode |= forwardBit;
                if (r.mPreserveWindow) {
                    a.mWindowAdded = true;
                    r.mPreserveWindow = false;
                    // Normally the ViewRoot sets up callbacks with the Activity
                    // in addView->ViewRootImpl#setView. If we are instead reusing
                    // the decor view we have to notify the view root that the
                    // callbacks may have changed.
                    ViewRootImpl impl = decor.getViewRootImpl();
                    if (impl != null) {
                        impl.notifyChildRebuilt();
                    }
                }
                if (a.mVisibleFromClient && !a.mWindowAdded) {
                    a.mWindowAdded = true;
                    wm.addView(decor, l);
                }

            // If the window has already been added, but during resume
            // we started another activity, then don't yet make the
            // window visible.
            } else if (!willBeVisible) {
                if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
                    TAG, "Launch " + r + " mStartedActivity set");
                r.hideForNow = true;
            }

            // Get rid of anything left hanging around.
            cleanUpPendingRemoveWindows(r, false /* force */);

            // The window is now visible if it has been added, we are not
            // simply finishing, and we are not starting another activity.
            if (!r.activity.mFinished && willBeVisible
                    && r.activity.mDecor != null && !r.hideForNow) {
                if (r.newConfig != null) {
                    performConfigurationChangedForActivity(r, r.newConfig, REPORT_TO_ACTIVITY);
                    if (DEBUG_CONFIGURATION) Slog.v(TAG, "Resuming activity "
                            + r.activityInfo.name + " with newConfig " + r.activity.mCurrentConfig);
                    r.newConfig = null;
                }
                if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Resuming " + r + " with isForward="
                        + isForward);
                WindowManager.LayoutParams l = r.window.getAttributes();
                if ((l.softInputMode
                        & WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_IS_FORWARD_NAVIGATION)
                        != forwardBit) {
                    l.softInputMode = (l.softInputMode
                            & (~WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_IS_FORWARD_NAVIGATION))
                            | forwardBit;
                    if (r.activity.mVisibleFromClient) {
                        ViewManager wm = a.getWindowManager();
                        View decor = r.window.getDecorView();
                        wm.updateViewLayout(decor, l);
                    }
                }
                r.activity.mVisibleFromServer = true;
                mNumVisibleActivities++;
                if (r.activity.mVisibleFromClient) {
                    r.activity.makeVisible();
                }
            }
    ...
    }

所以在调用Activity的onStart时，Activity尚不可见，在onResume时可见。

下面是验证的代码,放在onStart里，输出是null

        View v = getWindow().getDecorView();
        ViewRootImpl viewRootImpl = null;
        try {
            viewRootImpl = (ViewRootImpl) ReflectionUtils.getMethod(View.class, "getViewRootImpl").invoke(v);
            Log.d("log", "viewRootImpl:"+viewRootImpl);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
