引用： 三个案例带你看懂LayoutInflater中inflate方法两个参数和三个参数的区别
对于方法：
public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot)
在结合案例后，根据源码解析，源码如下：
/**
* Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified XML node. Throws
* {@link InflateException} if there is an error.
* <p>
* <em><strong>Important</strong></em> For performance
* reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files
* that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to
* use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime.
*
* @param parser XML dom node containing the description of the view
* hierarchy.
* @param root Optional view to be the parent of the generated hierarchy (if
* <em>attachToRoot</em> is true), or else simply an object that
* provides a set of LayoutParams values for root of the returned
* hierarchy (if <em>attachToRoot</em> is false.)
* @param attachToRoot Whether the inflated hierarchy should be attached to
* the root parameter? If false, root is only used to create the
* correct subclass of LayoutParams for the root view in the XML.
* @return The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied and
* attachToRoot is true, this is root; otherwise it is the root of
* the inflated XML file.

1.1 root不为null，attachToRoot为true
当root不为null，attachToRoot为true时，表示将resource指定的布局添加到root中，添加的过程中resource所指定的的布局的根节点的各个属性都是有效的。
// Create layout params that match root, if supplied
params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs);
当root != null,将根据layout文件获取layoutParams,如果attachToRoot == true, 就会将有layout生成的View添加到root中。
if (root != null && attachToRoot) {
root.addView(temp, params);
}
如果是在fragment中使用, 会将attachRoot置为false， 否则会造成重复添加，原因见后面的内容。
1.2 root不为null，attachToRoot为false
如果root不为null，而attachToRoot为false的话，表示不将第一个参数所指定的View添加到root中，但是会将layoutParams设置到由layout文件生成的view中。就是上面的源码中 temp.setLayoutParams(params);
通常在fragment中会这样使用：
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(layoutId,container,false);
return view;
}
因为在Fragment Manager中，会将fragment.onCreateView生成的view添加到父布局中，如果在这里再添加的话，会造成重复添加：
void moveToState(Fragment f, int newState, int transit, int transitionStyle,
boolean keepActive) {
//.............................................
case Fragment.CREATED:
if (newState > Fragment.CREATED) {
if (DEBUG) Log.v(TAG, "moveto ACTIVITY_CREATED: " + f);
if (!f.mFromLayout) {
ViewGroup container = null;
if (f.mContainerId != 0) {
if (f.mContainerId == View.NO_ID) {
throwException(new IllegalArgumentException(
"Cannot create fragment "
+ f
+ " for a container view with no id"));
}
container = (ViewGroup) mContainer.onFindViewById(f.mContainerId);
if (container == null && !f.mRestored) {
String resName;
try {
resName = f.getResources().getResourceName(f.mContainerId);
} catch (NotFoundException e) {
resName = "unknown";
}
throwException(new IllegalArgumentException(
"No view found for id 0x"
+ Integer.toHexString(f.mContainerId) + " ("
+ resName
+ ") for fragment " + f));
}
}
f.mContainer = container;
f.mView = f.performCreateView(f.getLayoutInflater(
f.mSavedFragmentState), container, f.mSavedFragmentState);
if (f.mView != null) {
f.mInnerView = f.mView;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
ViewCompat.setSaveFromParentEnabled(f.mView, false);
} else {
f.mView = NoSaveStateFrameLayout.wrap(f.mView);
}
if (container != null) {
container.addView(f.mView);
}
if (f.mHidden) {
f.mView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
f.onViewCreated(f.mView, f.mSavedFragmentState);
dispatchOnFragmentViewCreated(f, f.mView, f.mSavedFragmentState,
false);
// Only animate the view if it is visible. This is done after
// dispatchOnFragmentViewCreated in case visibility is changed
f.mIsNewlyAdded = (f.mView.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE)
&& f.mContainer != null;
} else {
f.mInnerView = null;
}
}
f.performActivityCreated(f.mSavedFragmentState);
dispatchOnFragmentActivityCreated(f, f.mSavedFragmentState, false);
if (f.mView != null) {
f.restoreViewState(f.mSavedFragmentState);
}
f.mSavedFragmentState = null;
}
case Fragment.ACTIVITY_CREATED:
if (newState > Fragment.ACTIVITY_CREATED) {
f.mState = Fragment.STOPPED;
}
//.............
}
} else if (f.mState > newState) {
//..........
}
}
//..........
}
关键处：
f.mView = f.performCreateView(f.getLayoutInflater(f.mSavedFragmentState), container, f.mSavedFragmentState);
if (container != null) {
container.addView(f.mView);
}
1.3 root为null
当root为null时，不论attachToRoot为true还是为false，显示效果都是一样的。当root为null表示不需要将第一个参数所指定的布局添加到任何容器中，同时也表示没有任何容器来来协助第一个参数所指定布局的根节点生成布局参数。
3. 那Activity呢，有几种情况：
activity的onCreateView中通常调用setContentView(layoutId)来完成。
最终会调用PhoneWindow.setContentView(layoutId)。
@Override
public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
// Note: FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS may be set in the process of installing the window
// decor, when theme attributes and the like are crystalized. Do not check the feature
// before this happens.
if (mContentParent == null) {
installDecor();
} else if (!hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
mContentParent.removeAllViews();
}
if (hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
final Scene newScene = Scene.getSceneForLayout(mContentParent, layoutResID,
getContext());
transitionTo(newScene);
} else {
mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutResID, mContentParent);
}
mContentParent.requestApplyInsets();
final Callback cb = getCallback();
if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
cb.onContentChanged();
}
}
@Override
public void setContentView(View view) {
setContentView(view, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT));
}
@Override
public void setContentView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
// Note: FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS may be set in the process of installing the window
// decor, when theme attributes and the like are crystalized. Do not check the feature
// before this happens.
if (mContentParent == null) {
installDecor();
} else if (!hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
mContentParent.removeAllViews();
}
if (hasFeature(FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS)) {
view.setLayoutParams(params);
final Scene newScene = new Scene(mContentParent, view);
transitionTo(newScene);
} else {
mContentParent.addView(view, params);
}
mContentParent.requestApplyInsets();
final Callback cb = getCallback();
if (cb != null && !isDestroyed()) {
cb.onContentChanged();
}
}
不难看出，（与引用的博客中的观点不符合，有兴趣的可以自己demo去验证）
