Service 之 AIDL

Android API Guides

---

1. Create .aidl文件
   定义Service接口

Caution: AIDL 做的任何改变，都必须保持后向兼容
方法支持参数和返回值，参数和返回值可以是任意类型。
1. 所有Java原型都支持（int, long, float, char ,boolean等）
2. String
3. Charsequence
4. List,元素必须是支持的数据类型，也可是其他AIDL所申明的，或者是parcelables。同时也可使用泛型申明。实际使用ArrayList来存储元素。
5. Map，也list要求相同。但不可使用泛型，实际使用HashMap来存储。

如果要使用除以上数据的类型其他类型数据，则必须使用import进行申明。

此外，在定义接口时，还需注意的有：
1. 方法可为0个或多个参数，可返回值或者void
2. 所有非原型参数，需要方向标签，in,out,inout。
3. 所有代码注释都会被生成到java接口中，除了import和package申明之前的。
4. 只支持方法，不支持静态成员变量的申明。

案例

// IRemoteService.aidl
package com.example.android;

// Declare any non-default types here with import statements

/** Example service interface */
interface IRemoteService {
    /** Request the process ID of this service, to do evil things with it. */
    int getPid();

    /** Demonstrates some basic types that you can use as parameters
     * and return values in AIDL.
     */
    void basicTypes(int anInt, long aLong, boolean aBoolean, float aFloat,
            double aDouble, String aString);
}

1. 实现一个接口
   Android SDK tools会根据aidl文件自动生成一个java语言的编程接口，这个接口包含一个继承于Binder的抽象类和aidl中的接口方法实现。必须继承Stub然后实现方法。

保存到/src目录下，ADT tool 会在/gen目录下生成IBinder接口文件。注意包名。
生成的接口包含一个子类Stub, 是对接口的抽象实现。因此，需要继承该Stub，然后实现抽象方法。
其中Stub还有一个助手方法asInterface(),传递IBinder并返回stub接口实例。
实例代码如下：

private final IRemoteService.Stub mBinder = new IRemoteService.Stub() {
    public int getPid(){
        return Process.myPid();
    }
    public void basicTypes(int anInt, long aLong, boolean aBoolean,
        float aFloat, double aDouble, String aString) {
        // Does nothing
    }
};

Caution: 注意多线程，要确保方法是线程安全的。RPC calls 通常是同步的，所以在client调用时，请使用子线程避免hand up the main thread and encounter ANR.此外，Server端不会返回Exception。

1. Expose the interface to the clients
   继承Service，重写onBind()，然后返回Stub 类的实现，即mBinder。

public class RemoteService extends Service {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // Return the interface
        return mBinder;
    }
}

Client调用，如果与Server不再同一个Application下，那么需要将aidl文件拷贝到Client，并且保持包名的一致。

Passing Objects over IPC

支持Parcelable，将允许Android系统decompose objects into primitives that can be marshalled over processes, 意思就是允许Android系统将objects 解耦成primitives，而这些primitives可在进程间传递。
Step:
1. 让需要传递的类实现Parcelable接口，
2. 实现writeToParcel()方法，它将把对象的当前状态写到一个Parcel
3. 添加静态字段CREATOR，它时实现Parcelable.Creator接口。
4. create a aidl, 然后申明这个Parcelable 类。

aidl 申明Rect类代码如下：

package android.graphics;

// Declare Rect so AIDL can find it and knows that it implements
// the parcelable protocol.
parcelable Rect;

接下来是Rect类实现Parcelable接口代码：

import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;

public final class Rect implements Parcelable {
    public int left;
    public int top;
    public int right;
    public int bottom;

    public static final Parcelable.Creator<Rect> CREATOR = new
Parcelable.Creator<Rect>() {
        public Rect createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new Rect(in);
        }

        public Rect[] newArray(int size) {
            return new Rect[size];
        }
    };

    public Rect() {
    }

    private Rect(Parcel in) {
        readFromParcel(in);
    }

    public void writeToParcel(Parcel out) {
        out.writeInt(left);
        out.writeInt(top);
        out.writeInt(right);
        out.writeInt(bottom);
    }

    public void readFromParcel(Parcel in) {
        left = in.readInt();
        top = in.readInt();
        right = in.readInt();
        bottom = in.readInt();
    }
}

Calling an IPC Method

调用远程服务的实例，在之前的Service节中已经出现过了。这里不妨再赘上,有效长，:）

public static class Binding extends Activity {
    /** The primary interface we will be calling on the service. */
    IRemoteService mService = null;
    /** Another interface we use on the service. */
    ISecondary mSecondaryService = null;

    Button mKillButton;
    TextView mCallbackText;

    private boolean mIsBound;

    /**
     * Standard initialization of this activity.  Set up the UI, then wait
     * for the user to poke it before doing anything.
     */
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.remote_service_binding);

        // Watch for button clicks.
        Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bind);
        button.setOnClickListener(mBindListener);
        button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.unbind);
        button.setOnClickListener(mUnbindListener);
        mKillButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.kill);
        mKillButton.setOnClickListener(mKillListener);
        mKillButton.setEnabled(false);

        mCallbackText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.callback);
        mCallbackText.setText("Not attached.");
    }

    /**
     * Class for interacting with the main interface of the service.
     */
    private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
        public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
                IBinder service) {
            // This is called when the connection with the service has been
            // established, giving us the service object we can use to
            // interact with the service.  We are communicating with our
            // service through an IDL interface, so get a client-side
            // representation of that from the raw service object.
            mService = IRemoteService.Stub.asInterface(service);
            mKillButton.setEnabled(true);
            mCallbackText.setText("Attached.");

            // We want to monitor the service for as long as we are
            // connected to it.
            try {
                mService.registerCallback(mCallback);
            } catch (RemoteException e) {
                // In this case the service has crashed before we could even
                // do anything with it; we can count on soon being
                // disconnected (and then reconnected if it can be restarted)
                // so there is no need to do anything here.
            }

            // As part of the sample, tell the user what happened.
            Toast.makeText(Binding.this, R.string.remote_service_connected,
