LayoutInflater是android中加载xml文件变成View的工具，几乎有view的地方都会有LayoutInflater的身影，所以需要熟悉inflate方法的各参数的意义
android中LayoutInflater原理总结:
1、LayoutInflater用于将xml形式的view加载为真正的view；
2、获取LayoutInflater：
1
2
3LayoutInflater layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
第一种是对第二种的封装；
3、常用的LayoutInflater.inflate两个重载：
1
2public View inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root);
public View inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot);最终会调用以下方法：

使用总结：
① 若root == null，则以layout_开头的属性都将失效
② 若root != null且attachToRoot == true，则会将加载的布局添加到root中并返回root
③ 若root != null且attachToRoot == false，则会将布局的layout_*属性进行设置，此时返回加载的view
④ 两个参数的方法中，attachToRoot = (root != null)
