在将Android window Layer层级关系之前，我们先来直观的看看是什么样的：
adb shell dumpsys SurfaceFlinger
可以看到类似这样的输出：
Display 0 HWC layers:

这个输出包含了，Layer层级，Layer 画面的width, height 信息，要理解Layer 的层级关系，我们先要了解三个东西：WindowType, Z-Order, Layer
1.WindowType
在 WindowManager.java 中定义了Window的类型，这个类型引用 也是应用开发过程中直接使用的类型，主要分成三大类:
Application windows（应用窗口）: 1~99
Sub-windows(子窗口): 1000~1999
System windows（系统窗口）: 2000~2999
注意：
网上有很多说法，系统窗口 > 子窗口 > 应用窗口，从数值上来说是正确的，但是如果说 Window Layer的层级关系，这个说法就是错误的，举个很简单的例子，壁纸层 属于系统窗口管理，但是Window Layer的层级关系 却是最底端；WindowType 的值划分是为了更好的管理Window的类别、权限、依赖关系，和实际的Window Layer层级并没有关系。
2. Z-Order
可以去查一下这个词汇的含义，这个词汇一般出现在产品，UX设计过程中，而这个值的定义才是产品意义上的界面层级关系；Android WindowManagerPolicy中也给出了WindowType 和 Z-Order的对应关系：
/**
* Returns the layer assignment for the window type. Allows you to control how different
* kinds of windows are ordered on-screen.
*
* @param type The type of window being assigned.
* @param canAddInternalSystemWindow If the owner window associated with the type we are
* evaluating can add internal system windows. I.e they have
* {@link permission#INTERNAL_SYSTEM_WINDOW}. If true, alert window
* types {@link android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#isSystemAlertWindowType(int)}
* can be assigned layers greater than the layer for
* {@link android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY} Else, their
* layers would be lesser.
* @return int An arbitrary integer used to order windows, with lower numbers below higher ones.
*/
default int getWindowLayerFromTypeLw(int type, boolean canAddInternalSystemWindow) {
if (type >= FIRST_APPLICATION_WINDOW && type <= LAST_APPLICATION_WINDOW) {
return APPLICATION_LAYER;
}
switch (type) {
case TYPE_WALLPAPER:

}
可以看出Android8.0 Z-Order 定义了33 层, 相信看到这个兑换关系会解决你很多疑惑，到了这一层还是跟我们一开始看到的Layer 关系对不上?；褂幸徊鉠-Order 如何跟Surface Layer 进行对应？
3. Layer
Android 画面内容输出，是通过SurfaceFlinger 进行画面的合成、输出的，直接关联的就是Layer
Framework中计算Layer 的公式为：Layer = Z-Order * 10000 + 1000 :
getWindowLayerFromTypeLw() * WindowManagerService.TYPE_LAYER_MULTIPLIER + WindowManagerService.TYPE_LAYER_OFFSET
相同Layer 会根据添加的顺序，加上offset 值。
