- 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);
}
- 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。
- 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 CREATOR = new
Parcelable.Creator() {
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.

mKillButton.setEnabled(true);
