AIDL的典型使用流程是:首先创建一个Service和一个AIDL接口,接着创建一个类继承自AIDL接口中的Stub类并实现Stub中的抽象方法,在Service的onBind方法中返回这个类的对象,然后客户端就可以绑定服务端Service,建立连接后就可以访问远程服务端的方法了。
现在考虑一种情况:如果项目规模扩大,现在有10个不同的业务模块都需要使用AIDL来进行进程间通信,那我们该如何处理呢?也许你会说:“按照AIDL的实现方式一个个来吧,”这是可以的,如果用这种方法,首先我们需要创建10个Service,那如果100个业务模块呢?显然这种方式不妥当。
针对上述问题,我们可以将所有的AIDL放在同一个Service中去管理。在这种模式下,整个工作机制是这样的:每个业务模块创建自己的AIDL接口并实现此接口,这个时候不同业务模块之间是不能有耦合的,所有实现细节要单独开来,然后向服务端提供自己的唯一标识和其对应的Binder对象;对于服务端来说,只需要一个Service就可以了,服务端提供一个queryBinder接口,这个接口能够根据业务模块的特征来返回相应的Binder对象给它们,不同的业务模块拿到所需的Binder对象后就可以进行远程方法调用(Remote Procedure Call)了。由此可见,Binder连接池的主要作用就是将每个业务模块的Binder请求同意转发到远程Service中去执行,从而避免了重复创建Service的过程。
下面对Binder连接池的代码实现做一下说明。首先,提供两个接口(ISecurityCenter和ICompute)来模拟上面提到的多个业务模块都要使用AIDL的情况,其中ISecurityCenter接口提供加密解密功能,声明如下:
interface ISecurityCenter {
String encrypt(String content);
String decrypt(String password);
}
而ICompute接口提供计算加法的功能,声明如下:
interface ICompute {
int add(int a, int b);
}
接着看两个AIDL接口的实现:
public class SecurityCenterImpl extends ISecurityCenter.Stub {
private static final char SECRET_CODE = '^';
@Override
public String encrypt(String content) throws RemoteException {
char[] chars = content.toCharArray();
for(int i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
chars[i] ^= SECRET_CODE;
}
return new String(chars);
}
@Override
public String decrypt(String password) throws RemoteException {
return encrypt(password);
}
}
public class ComputeImpl extends ICompute.Stub {
@Override
public int add(int a, int b) throws RemoteException {
return a + b;
}
}
接下来就是服务端和Binder连接池的工作了。首先,为Binder连接池创建AIDL接口IBinderPool.aidl:
interface IBinderPool {
// @param binderCode, the unique token of specific Binder
// @return specific Binder who's token is binderCode.
IBinder queryBinder(int binderCode);
}
接着,为Binder连接池创建远程Service并实现IBinderPool,下面是queryBinder的具体实现,可以看到请求转发的实现方法,当Binder连接池连接上远程服务时,会根据不同模块的标识即bindCode返回不同的Binder对象,通过这个Binder对象所执行的操作全部发生在远程服务端。
@Override
public IBinder queryBinder(int binderCode) throws RemoteException {
IBinder binder = null;
switch (binderCode) {
case BINDER_SECURITY_CENTER:
binder = new SecurityCenterImpl();
break;
case BINDER_COMPUTE:
binder = new ComputeImpl();
break;
default:
break;
}
return binder;
}
远程Service的代码如下:
public class BinderPoolService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "BinderPoolService";
private Binder mBinderPool = new BinderPool.BinderPoolImpl();
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, "onBind");
return mBinderPool;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
}
下面还剩下Binder连接池的具体实现,在它的内部首先要去绑定远程服务绑定成功后,客户端就可以通过它的queryBinder方法去获取各自对应的Binder,拿到所需的Binder以后,不同业务模块就可以进行各自的操作了,Binder连接池的代码如下:
public class BinderPool {
private static final String TAG = "BinderPool";
public static final int BINDER_NONE = -1;
public static final int BINDER_COMPUTE = 0;
public static final int BINDER_SECURITY_CENTER = 1;
private IBinderPool mBinderPool;
private static volatile BinderPool sInstance;
private Context mContext;
private CountDownLatch mConnectBinderPoolCountDownLatch;
public BinderPool(Context context) {
mContext = context.getApplicationContext();
connectBinderPoolService();
}
public static BinderPool getInstance(Context context) {
if(sInstance == null) {
synchronized (BinderPool.class) {
if(sInstance == null) {
sInstance = new BinderPool(context);
}
}
}
return sInstance;
}
private synchronized void connectBinderPoolService() {
mConnectBinderPoolCountDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);
Intent service = new Intent(mContext, BinderPoolService.class);
mContext.bindService(service, mBinderPoolConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
try {
mConnectBinderPoolCountDownLatch.await();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* query binder by binderCode from binder pool
* @param binderCode the unique token of binder
* @return binder who's token is binderCode
* return null when not found or BinderPoolService died.
*/
public IBinder queryBinder(int binderCode) {
IBinder binder = null;
if(mBinderPool != null) {
try {
binder = mBinderPool.queryBinder(binderCode);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return binder;
}
private ServiceConnection mBinderPoolConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
mBinderPool = IBinderPool.Stub.asInterface(service);
try {
mBinderPool.asBinder().linkToDeath(mBinderPoolDeathRecipient, 0);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mConnectBinderPoolCountDownLatch.countDown();
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
}
};
private IBinder.DeathRecipient mBinderPoolDeathRecipient = new IBinder.DeathRecipient() {
@Override
public void binderDied() {
Log.w(TAG, "binder died.");
mBinderPool.asBinder().unlinkToDeath(mBinderPoolDeathRecipient, 0);
mBinderPool = null;
connectBinderPoolService();
}
};
public static class BinderPoolImpl extends IBinderPool.Stub {
public BinderPoolImpl() {
super();
}
@Override
public IBinder queryBinder(int binderCode) throws RemoteException {
IBinder binder = null;
switch (binderCode) {
case BINDER_SECURITY_CENTER:
binder = new SecurityCenterImpl();
break;
case BINDER_COMPUTE:
binder = new ComputeImpl();
break;
default:
break;
}
return binder;
}
}
}
Binder连接池的具体实现就分析完了,它的好处是显而易见的,针对上面的例子,我们只需要创建一个Service即可完成多个AIDL接口的工作,下面验证效果。新建一个Activity,代码如下:
public class BinderPoolActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String TAG = "BinderPoolActivity";
private ISecurityCenter mSecurityCenter;
private ICompute mCompute;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
doWork();
}
}).start();
}
private void doWork() {
BinderPool binderPool = BinderPool.getInstance(BinderPoolActivity.this);
IBinder securityBinder = binderPool.queryBinder(BinderPool.BINDER_SECURITY_CENTER);
mSecurityCenter = SecurityCenterImpl.asInterface(securityBinder);
Log.d(TAG, "visit ISecurityCenter");
String msg = "hello Android";
System.out.println("content: " + msg);
try {
String password = mSecurityCenter.encrypt(msg);
System.out.println("encrypt: " + password);
System.out.println("decrypt: " + mSecurityCenter.decrypt(password));
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d(TAG, "visit ICompute");
IBinder computeBinder = binderPool.queryBinder(BinderPool.BINDER_COMPUTE);
mCompute = ComputeImpl.asInterface(computeBinder);
try {
System.out.println("3 + 5 = " + mCompute.add(3, 5));
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
在上述代码中,我们夏侯调用了ISecurityCenter和ICompute这两个AIDL接口中的方法,看一下log,显然,工作正常。
这里需要补充一下,doWork()为什么要在单独线程中执行呢?这是因为在Binder连接池的实现中,我们通过CountDownLatch将bindService这一异步操作换成了同步操作,意味着它有可能是耗时的,Binder方法的调用过程也可能是耗时的,因此不建议放在主线程执行。注意到BinderPool是一个单例实现,因此在同一个进程中智慧初始化一次,所以如果我们提前初始化BinderPool,那么可以优化程序体验,比如可以放在Application中提前对其进行初始化。另外,BinderPool中有断线重连机制,当远程服务意外终止时,BinderPool会重新建立连接,这个时候如果业务模块中的Binder调用出现了异常,也需要手动去重新获取最新的Binder对象。
有了BinderPool可以大大方便日常开发工作,比如如果有一个新的业务模块需要添加新的AIDL,那么在它实现了自己的AIDL之后,只需要修改BinderPoolImpl中 的queryBinder方法,给自己添加一个新的binderCode并返回对应的Binder对象即可不需要其他修改,也不需要创建新Service。因此,BinderPool能极大提高AIDL的开发效率,避免大量Service的创建。
