Android的View绘制是从根节点（Activity对应的根节点是DecorView）开始，他是一个自上而下的过程。View的绘制经历三个过程：measure、layout、draw。
measure过程从View的measure()方法看起：

public final void measure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    // Suppress sign extension for the low bytes
    long key = (long) widthMeasureSpec << 32 | (long) heightMeasureSpec & 0xffffffffL; 
    //生成缓存的key
    if (mMeasureCache == null) mMeasureCache = new LongSparseLongArray(2); // 创建缓存

    if ((mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FORCE_LAYOUT) == PFLAG_FORCE_LAYOUT ||
            widthMeasureSpec != mOldWidthMeasureSpec ||
            heightMeasureSpec != mOldHeightMeasureSpec) {

        // first clears the measured dimension flag
        mPrivateFlags &= ~PFLAG_MEASURED_DIMENSION_SET;

        int cacheIndex = (mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_FORCE_LAYOUT) == PFLAG_FORCE_LAYOUT ? -1 :
                mMeasureCache.indexOfKey(key);
        if (cacheIndex < 0 || sIgnoreMeasureCache) {
            // measure ourselves, this should set the measured dimension flag back
            onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
            mPrivateFlags3 &= ~PFLAG3_MEASURE_NEEDED_BEFORE_LAYOUT;
        } else {
            long value = mMeasureCache.valueAt(cacheIndex);
            // Casting a long to int drops the high 32 bits, no mask needed
            setMeasuredDimensionRaw((int) (value >> 32), (int) value);
            mPrivateFlags3 |= PFLAG3_MEASURE_NEEDED_BEFORE_LAYOUT;
        }

        // flag not set, setMeasuredDimension() was not invoked, we raise
        // an exception to warn the developer
        if ((mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_MEASURED_DIMENSION_SET) != PFLAG_MEASURED_DIMENSION_SET) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("View with id " + getId() + ": "
                    + getClass().getName() + "#onMeasure() did not set the"
                    + " measured dimension by calling"
                    + " setMeasuredDimension()");
        }

        mPrivateFlags |= PFLAG_LAYOUT_REQUIRED;
    }

    mOldWidthMeasureSpec = widthMeasureSpec;
    mOldHeightMeasureSpec = heightMeasureSpec;

    mMeasureCache.put(key, ((long) mMeasuredWidth) << 32 |
            (long) mMeasuredHeight & 0xffffffffL); // suppress sign extension
}

在代码中mMeasureCache是一个LongSparseLongArray，代表measure结果的缓存，如果缓存没有命中或者忽略缓存，就调用onMeasure来测量结果，这种情况下用户需要调用setMeasuredDimension()来设置measure的结果，相反情况下直接使用缓存的结果，并直接调用setMeasuredDimensionraw()设置测量结果。最后将得到的结果保存在缓存中。

然后看View的onMeasure()方法：

protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    setMeasuredDimension(getDefaultSize(getSuggestedMinimumWidth(), widthMeasureSpec),
            getDefaultSize(getSuggestedMinimumHeight(), heightMeasureSpec));
}

使用getDefaultSize()方法计算出默认的值，具体的计算方法读者可以自行研究一下，在自定义View时可以参考。

View的measure()方法的功能是确定自己的大小，而ViewGroup的measure()方法则需要确定自己和所有的子View的大小。在ViewGroup中并没有找到measure()和onMeasure()方法，因为measure()方法对于所有的View都是通用的，只需要重写onMeasure()方法，同时不同的ViewGroup计算大小的方法并不相同，所以需要具体的ViewGroup来重写onMeasure()方法。
ViewGroup提供了三个measure相关的方法：measureChild,measureChildren,measureChildWithMargins供继承者调用。
我们选择最简单的一个ViewGroup,FrameLayout来看一下onMeasure()的实现。

protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    int count = getChildCount();
    int maxHeight = 0;
    int maxWidth = 0;

    int childState = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        final View child = getChildAt(i);
        if (mMeasureAllChildren || child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
            measureChildWithMargins(child, widthMeasureSpec, 0, heightMeasureSpec, 0);
            final LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
            maxWidth = Math.max(maxWidth,
                    child.getMeasuredWidth() + lp.leftMargin + lp.rightMargin);
            maxHeight = Math.max(maxHeight,
                    child.getMeasuredHeight() + lp.topMargin + lp.bottomMargin);
            childState = combineMeasuredStates(childState, child.getMeasuredState());
           
        }
    }

    // Account for padding too
    maxWidth += getPaddingLeftWithForeground() + getPaddingRightWithForeground();
    maxHeight += getPaddingTopWithForeground() + getPaddingBottomWithForeground();

    // Check against our minimum height and width
    maxHeight = Math.max(maxHeight, getSuggestedMinimumHeight());
    maxWidth = Math.max(maxWidth, getSuggestedMinimumWidth());

    // some more code
    setMeasuredDimension(resolveSizeAndState(maxWidth, widthMeasureSpec, childState),
            resolveSizeAndState(maxHeight, heightMeasureSpec,
                    childState << MEASURED_HEIGHT_STATE_SHIFT));
    // some more code
}

遍历所有的child，调用child的measure()方法获取child的宽和高。分别选取最大的宽和高，与自己的最小值比较，得到最后自己的大小，调用setMeasuredDimension()设置自己的大小。
PS：childView的measure方法可能会调用多次。

通过这一系列的measure()方法的调用，整个View层级的大小已经设置好了，接下来进入layout过程:
View的layout()方法：

public void layout(int l, int t, int r, int b) {
    if ((mPrivateFlags3 & PFLAG3_MEASURE_NEEDED_BEFORE_LAYOUT) != 0) {
        onMeasure(mOldWidthMeasureSpec, mOldHeightMeasureSpec);
        mPrivateFlags3 &= ~PFLAG3_MEASURE_NEEDED_BEFORE_LAYOUT;
    }

    int oldL = mLeft;
    int oldT = mTop;
    int oldB = mBottom;
    int oldR = mRight;

    boolean changed = isLayoutModeOptical(mParent) ?
            setOpticalFrame(l, t, r, b) : setFrame(l, t, r, b);

    if (changed || (mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_LAYOUT_REQUIRED) == PFLAG_LAYOUT_REQUIRED) {
        onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b);
        mPrivateFlags &= ~PFLAG_LAYOUT_REQUIRED;

        ListenerInfo li = mListenerInfo;
        if (li != null && li.mOnLayoutChangeListeners != null) {
            ArrayList<OnLayoutChangeListener> listenersCopy =
                    (ArrayList<OnLayoutChangeListener>)li.mOnLayoutChangeListeners.clone();
            int numListeners = listenersCopy.size();
            for (int i = 0; i < numListeners; ++i) {
                listenersCopy.get(i).onLayoutChange(this, l, t, r, b, oldL, oldT, oldR, oldB);
            }
        }
    }

    mPrivateFlags &= ~PFLAG_FORCE_LAYOUT;
    mPrivateFlags3 |= PFLAG3_IS_LAID_OUT;
}

mLeft,mTop,mBottom,mRight表示当前View在parentView中的位置信息。
首先判断在layout前是否需要调用onMeasure()并进行调用，然后将位置信息暂存下来。根据布局边界模式调用setFrame()或setOpticalFrame()方法。Optical Bounds（视觉边界）是Android在4.3版本针对.9图引入的API。其中setOpticalFrame()对边界的尺寸做一些计算之后直接调用setFrame()方法。

protected boolean setFrame(int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
    boolean changed = false;

    if (mLeft != left || mRight != right || mTop != top || mBottom != bottom) {
        changed = true;

        // Remember our drawn bit
        int drawn = mPrivateFlags & PFLAG_DRAWN;

        int oldWidth = mRight - mLeft;
        int oldHeight = mBottom - mTop;
        int newWidth = right - left;
        int newHeight = bottom - top;
        boolean sizeChanged = (newWidth != oldWidth) || (newHeight != oldHeight);

        // Invalidate our old position
        invalidate(sizeChanged);

        mLeft = left;
        mTop = top;
        mRight = right;
        mBottom = bottom;
        mRenderNode.setLeftTopRightBottom(mLeft, mTop, mRight, mBottom);

        mPrivateFlags |= PFLAG_HAS_BOUNDS;


        if (sizeChanged) {
            sizeChange(newWidth, newHeight, oldWidth, oldHeight);
        }

        if ((mViewFlags & VISIBILITY_MASK) == VISIBLE || mGhostView != null) {
            mPrivateFlags |= PFLAG_DRAWN;
            invalidate(sizeChanged);
            // parent display list may need to be recreated based on a change in the bounds
            // of any child
            invalidateParentCaches();
        }

        // Reset drawn bit to original value (invalidate turns it off)
        mPrivateFlags |= drawn;

        mBackgroundSizeChanged = true;
        if (mForegroundInfo != null) {
            mForegroundInfo.mBoundsChanged = true;
        }
    }
    return changed;
}

在setFrame()方法中，根据View的位置和尺寸的变化，选择性调用invalidate()和sizeChanged()方法。sizeChanged()方法调用onSizeChanged()方法。在自定义View时，重写onSizedChanged()方法能很方便地检查View尺寸的变化。如果View保存的mLeft,mTop,mRight,mBottom与setFrame()传入的left,top,right,bottom中有一个不一样，setFrame()就会返回true。回到layout()方法中，如果setFrame()返回true或者设置了需要Layout的FLAG,就会调用onLayout()方法，并且获取调用所有的OnLayoutChangeListener。
View的onLayout()方法：

protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
}

这是一个空方法，因为在layout()方法中设置好了View自身的位置，onLayout()方法需要设置child View的位置，所以View的onLayout()方法是空方法，具体的实现在对应的ViewGroup中。
在ViewGroup中，onLayout()是一个abstract方法，表示继承类必须重写这个方法。同样地，看一下FrameLayout的onLayout()方法：

protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
    layoutChildren(left, top, right, bottom, false /* no force left gravity */);
}

void layoutChildren(int left, int top, int right, int bottom,
                              boolean forceLeftGravity) {
    final int count = getChildCount();

    final int parentLeft = getPaddingLeftWithForeground();
    final int parentRight = right - left - getPaddingRightWithForeground();

    final int parentTop = getPaddingTopWithForeground();
    final int parentBottom = bottom - top - getPaddingBottomWithForeground();

    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        final View child = getChildAt(i);
        if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
            final LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();

            final int width = child.getMeasuredWidth();
            final int height = child.getMeasuredHeight();

            int childLeft;
            int childTop;

            int gravity = lp.gravity;
            if (gravity == -1) {
                gravity = DEFAULT_CHILD_GRAVITY;
            }

            final int layoutDirection = getLayoutDirection();
            final int absoluteGravity = Gravity.getAbsoluteGravity(gravity, layoutDirection);
            final int verticalGravity = gravity & Gravity.VERTICAL_GRAVITY_MASK;

            switch (absoluteGravity & Gravity.HORIZONTAL_GRAVITY_MASK) {
                case Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL:
                    childLeft = parentLeft + (parentRight - parentLeft - width) / 2 +
                    lp.leftMargin - lp.rightMargin;
                    break;
                case Gravity.RIGHT:
                    if (!forceLeftGravity) {
                        childLeft = parentRight - width - lp.rightMargin;
                        break;
                    }
                case Gravity.LEFT:
                default:
                    childLeft = parentLeft + lp.leftMargin;
            }

            switch (verticalGravity) {
                case Gravity.TOP:
                    childTop = parentTop + lp.topMargin;
                    break;
                case Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL:
                    childTop = parentTop + (parentBottom - parentTop - height) / 2 +
                    lp.topMargin - lp.bottomMargin;
                    break;
                case Gravity.BOTTOM:
                    childTop = parentBottom - height - lp.bottomMargin;
                    break;
                default:
                    childTop = parentTop + lp.topMargin;
            }

            child.layout(childLeft, childTop, childLeft + width, childTop + height);
        }
    }
}

遍历child View，根据childView在水平和竖直方向的Gravity，计算对应的位置，然后调用child View的layout()方法，设置child View的位置。

最后进入到draw流程：
draw流程的调用来源：
ViewRootImpl.performTraversals()->ViewRootImpl.performDraw()->ViewRootImpl.draw(boolean fullRedrawNeeded)->ViewRootImpl.drawSoftware()
在ViewRootImpl中有一个Surface对象mSurface，代表一块屏幕缓存区。
在drawSoftware()方法中，调用mSurface.lockCanvas()获取了一个Canvas对象，用来绘制。后面所有的绘制操作都在这个Canvas上。然后调用DecorView的draw()方法开始绘制。在绘制流程完成之后调用mSurface.unlockCanvasAndPost()将绘制的结果交给SurfaceFling服务进行渲染。

public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
    final int privateFlags = mPrivateFlags;
    final boolean dirtyOpaque = (privateFlags & PFLAG_DIRTY_MASK) == PFLAG_DIRTY_OPAQUE &&
            (mAttachInfo == null || !mAttachInfo.mIgnoreDirtyState);
    mPrivateFlags = (privateFlags & ~PFLAG_DIRTY_MASK) | PFLAG_DRAWN;

    /*
     * Draw traversal performs several drawing steps which must be executed
     * in the appropriate order:
     *
     *      1. Draw the background
     *      2. If necessary, save the canvas' layers to prepare for fading
     *      3. Draw view's content
     *      4. Draw children
     *      5. If necessary, draw the fading edges and restore layers
     *      6. Draw decorations (scrollbars for instance)
     */

    // Step 1, draw the background, if needed
    int saveCount;

    if (!dirtyOpaque) {
        drawBackground(canvas);
    }

    // skip step 2 & 5 if possible (common case)
    final int viewFlags = mViewFlags;
    boolean horizontalEdges = (viewFlags & FADING_EDGE_HORIZONTAL) != 0;
    boolean verticalEdges = (viewFlags & FADING_EDGE_VERTICAL) != 0;
    if (!verticalEdges && !horizontalEdges) {
        // Step 3, draw the content
        if (!dirtyOpaque) onDraw(canvas);

        // Step 4, draw the children
        dispatchDraw(canvas);

        // Overlay is part of the content and draws beneath Foreground
        if (mOverlay != null && !mOverlay.isEmpty()) {
            mOverlay.getOverlayView().dispatchDraw(canvas);
        }

        // Step 6, draw decorations (foreground, scrollbars)
        onDrawForeground(canvas);

        // we're done...
        return;
    }

    /*
     * Here we do the full fledged routine...
     * (this is an uncommon case where speed matters less,
     * this is why we repeat some of the tests that have been
     * done above)
     */

    // hide the full fledged routine...
}
