PS:来源 - AIDL
AIDL(Android 接口定义语言)与您可能使用过的其他 IDL 类似。 您可以利用它定义客户端与服务使用进程间通信 (IPC) 进行相互通信时都认可的编程接口。 在 Android 上,一个进程通常无法访问另一个进程的内存。 尽管如此,进程需要将其对象分解成操作系统能够识别的原语,并将对象编组成跨越边界的对象。 编写执行这一编组操作的代码是一项繁琐的工作,因此 Android 会使用 AIDL 来处理。
注:只有允许不同应用的客户端用 IPC 方式访问服务,并且想要在服务中处理多线程时,才有必要使用 AIDL。 如果您不需要执行跨越不同应用的并发 IPC,就应该通过实现一个 Binder 创建接口;或者,如果您想执行 IPC,但根本不需要处理多线程,则使用 Messenger 类来实现接口。无论如何,在实现 AIDL 之前,请您务必理解绑定服务。
在您开始设计 AIDL 接口之前,要注意 AIDL 接口的调用是直接函数调用。 您不应该假设发生调用的线程。 视调用来自本地进程还是远程进程中的线程,实际情况会有所差异。 具体而言:
AIDL 使用简单语法,使您能通过可带参数和返回值的一个或多个方法来声明接口。 参数和返回值可以是任意类型,甚至可以是其他 AIDL 生成的接口。
您必须使用 Java 编程语言构建 .aidl 文件。每个 .aidl 文件都必须定义单个接口,并且只需包含接口声明和方法签名。
默认情况下,AIDL 支持下列数据类型:
// 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);
}
只需将您的 .aidl 文件保存在项目的 src/ 目录内,当您开发应用时,SDK 工具会在项目的 gen/ 目录中生成 IBinder 接口文件。生成的文件名与 .aidl 文件名一致,只是使用了 .java 扩展名(例如,IRemoteService.aidl 生成的文件名是 IRemoteService.java)。
以下是一个使用匿名实例实现名为 IRemoteService 的接口(由以上 IRemoteService.aidl 示例定义)的示例:
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
}
};
现在,mBinder 是 Stub 类的一个实例(一个 Binder),用于定义服务的 RPC 接口。 在下一步中,将向客户端公开该实例,以便客户端能与服务进行交互。
您为服务实现该接口后,就需要向客户端公开该接口,以便客户端进行绑定。 要为您的服务公开该接口,请扩展 Service 并实现 onBind(),以返回一个类实例,这个类实现了生成的 Stub(见前文所述)。以下是一个向客户端公开 IRemoteService 示例接口的服务示例。
public class RemoteService extends Service {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// Return the interface
return mBinder;
}
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
}
};
}
现在,当客户端(如 Activity)调用 bindService() 以连接此服务时,客户端的 onServiceConnected() 回调会接收服务的 onBind() 方法返回的 mBinder 实例。
IRemoteService mIRemoteService;
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
// Called when the connection with the service is established
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
// Following the example above for an AIDL interface,
// this gets an instance of the IRemoteInterface, which we can use to call on the service
mIRemoteService = IRemoteService.Stub.asInterface(service);
}
// Called when the connection with the service disconnects unexpectedly
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
Log.e(TAG, "Service has unexpectedly disconnected");
mIRemoteService = null;
}
};
通过 IPC 接口把某个类从一个进程发送到另一个进程是可以实现的。 不过,您必须确保该类的代码对 IPC 通道的另一端可用,并且该类必须支持 Parcelable 接口。支持 Parcelable 接口很重要,因为 Android 系统可通过它将对象分解成可编组到各进程的原语。
如需创建支持 Parcelable 协议的类,您必须执行以下操作:
package android.graphics;
// Declare Rect so AIDL can find it and knows that it implements
// the parcelable protocol.
parcelable Rect;
以下示例展示了 Rect 类如何实现 Parcelable 协议。
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();
}
}
Rect 类中的编组相当简单。看一看 Parcel 上的其他方法,了解您可以向 Parcel 写入哪些其他类型的值。
