注意:通常,客户端和服务端只是在同一个应用和进程中工作,例如,对于一个要良好工作的播放音乐的应用程序,就需要把在后台工作的播放音乐的服务与应用自己的一个Activity绑定。
以下是建立绑定类型服务的步骤:
1. 在服务中,使用以下方法之一创建Binder实例:
A. 包含客户端能够调用的公共方法;
B. 返回当前服务的实例,它有客户端能够调用的公共方法;
C. 或者返回一个带有客户端能够调用的公共方法的被服务持有的另一个类。
2. 从onBind()回调方法中返回这个Binder对象的实例;
3. 在客户端,在onServiceConnected()回调方法中接收Binder对象,并且使用这个对象提供的方法来调用被绑定的服务。
注意:服务端和客户端必须在同一个应用中的原因是:这样的客户端能够转换返回的对象,并正确的调用自己的APIs。服务端和客户端也必须是在同一个进程中,因为这种技术不执行任何跨进程处理。
例如,以下服务端代码提供了通过Binder实现访问服务端方法的能力:
public class LocalService extends Service {
// Binder given to clients
private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();
// Random number generator
private final Random mGenerator = new Random();
/**
* Class used for the client Binder. Because we know this service always
* runs in the same process as its clients, we don't need to deal with IPC.
*/
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
LocalService getService() {
// Return this instance of LocalService so clients can call public methods
return LocalService.this;
}
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mBinder;
}
/** method for clients */
public int getRandomNumber() {
return mGenerator.nextInt(100);
}
}
以上代码中的LocalBinder对象给客户端提供了getService()方法,用这个方法客户端能够获取LocalService服务的当前实例。这样就允许客户端调用服务中的公共方法。例如,客户端能够调用服务端的getRandomNumber()方法。
以下Activity代码绑定了LocalService服务,并且在点击一个按钮时调用了服务的getRandomNumber()方法:
public class BindingActivity extends Activity {
LocalService mService;
boolean mBound = false;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Bind to LocalService
Intent intent = new Intent(this, LocalService.class);
bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
// Unbind from the service
if (mBound) {
unbindService(mConnection);
mBound = false;
}
}
/** Called when a button is clicked (the button in the layout file attaches to
* this method with the android:onClick attribute) */
public void onButtonClick(View v) {
if (mBound) {
// Call a method from the LocalService.
// However, if this call were something that might hang, then this request should
// occur in a separate thread to avoid slowing down the activity performance.
int num = mService.getRandomNumber();
Toast.makeText(this, "number: " + num, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
/** Defines callbacks for service binding, passed to bindService() */
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder service) {
// We've bound to LocalService, cast the IBinder and get LocalService instance
LocalBinder binder = (LocalBinder) service;
mService = binder.getService();
mBound = true;
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
mBound = false;
}
};
}
以上实例显示了客户端时怎样使用ServiceConnection接口和onServiceConnected回调方法的实现来绑定服务的。在接下来的章节中会提供更多的关于绑定服务进程的信息。
注意:上例中没有明确解除绑定的服务端,但是,所有的客户端都应该在合适的时机解除绑定(如在Activity暂停时)。
