Android IPC 系列（2.1）：AIDL

原文地址：http://blog.csdn.net/chenfeng0104/article/details/6989217

在上一篇文章（Service使用方式）中，介绍了Android进程间通信（IPC，即不同APP间通信）的使用，并给出了一个示例。但并没有深入分析aidl是怎样可以做到进程间通信的，它的执行过程是怎样的？

这篇文章来分析IRemoteService.aidl的执行过程，并理解aidl是怎样跨进程通信的。

当我们创建IRemoteService.aidl文件时，IDE会为我们在gen目录中创建相应的文件。

package com.example.aidl;
public interface IRemoteService extends android.os.IInterface
{
/** Local-side IPC implementation stub class. */
public static abstract class Stub extends android.os.Binder implements com.example.aidl.IRemoteService
{
private static final java.lang.String DESCRIPTOR = "com.example.aidl.IRemoteService";
/** Construct the stub at attach it to the interface. */
public Stub()
{
this.attachInterface(this, DESCRIPTOR);
}
/**

public static com.example.aidl.IRemoteService asInterface(android.os.IBinder obj)
{
if ((obj==null)) {
return null;
}
android.os.IInterface iin = (android.os.IInterface)obj.queryLocalInterface(DESCRIPTOR);
if (((iin!=null)&&(iin instanceof com.example.aidl.IRemoteService))) {
return ((com.example.aidl.IRemoteService)iin);
}
return new com.example.aidl.IRemoteService.Stub.Proxy(obj);
}
public android.os.IBinder asBinder()
{

return super.onTransact(code, data, reply, flags);
}
private static class Proxy implements com.example.aidl.IRemoteService
{
private android.os.IBinder mRemote;
Proxy(android.os.IBinder remote)
{
mRemote = remote;
}
public android.os.IBinder asBinder()
{

}
public java.lang.String getInterfaceDescriptor()
{

}
//注册回调

public void register(com.example.aidl.IRemoteCallback callback) throws android.os.RemoteException
{

android.os.Parcel _reply = android.os.Parcel.obtain();
try {

}
}

public void unregister(com.example.aidl.IRemoteCallback callback) throws android.os.RemoteException
{

android.os.Parcel _reply = android.os.Parcel.obtain();
try {

}
}
//执行回调

}
//获取状态

public int getStatus(java.lang.String flag) throws android.os.RemoteException
{

android.os.Parcel _reply = android.os.Parcel.obtain();
int _result;
try {
_data.writeInterfaceToken(DESCRIPTOR);
_data.writeString(flag);
mRemote.transact(Stub.TRANSACTION_getStatus, _data, _reply, 0);
_reply.readException();
_result = _reply.readInt();
}
finally {
_reply.recycle();
_data.recycle();
}
return _result;
}
}
static final int TRANSACTION_register = (android.os.IBinder.FIRST_CALL_TRANSACTION + 0);
static final int TRANSACTION_unregister = (android.os.IBinder.FIRST_CALL_TRANSACTION + 1);
static final int TRANSACTION_execute = (android.os.IBinder.FIRST_CALL_TRANSACTION + 2);
static final int TRANSACTION_getStatus = (android.os.IBinder.FIRST_CALL_TRANSACTION + 3);
}
//注册回调

public void register(com.example.aidl.IRemoteCallback callback) throws android.os.RemoteException;
//取消注册回调

public void unregister(com.example.aidl.IRemoteCallback callback) throws android.os.RemoteException;
//执行回调

public void execute() throws android.os.RemoteException;
//获取状态

public int getStatus(java.lang.String flag) throws android.os.RemoteException;
}

在ClientActivity绑定远程Service并建立连接时会调用ServiceConnection.onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service)

public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName>
//注册回调
try {
remoteService.register(remoteCallback);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

IBinder service是从RemoteService返回的IRemoteService.Stub iBinder，这个对象是Server应用进程中的对象。

IRemoteService.Stub.asInterface(service)在本地创建了一个代理

public static com.example.aidl.IRemoteService asInterface(android.os.IBinder obj)

{

if ((obj==null)) {

return null;

}

android.os.IInterface iin = (android.os.IInterface)obj.queryLocalInterface(DESCRIPTOR);//这里肯定返回null

if (((iin!=null)&&(iin instanceof com.example.aidl.IRemoteService))) {

return ((com.example.aidl.IRemoteService)iin);

}

return new com.example.aidl.IRemoteService.Stub.Proxy(obj);//创建一个本地代理

}

当使用remoteService调用方法时，其实是调用了本地com.example.aidl.IRemoteService.Stub.Proxy对象的方法，从Proxy方法中可以看到，每个方法都执行了mRemote.transact(Stub.TRANSACTION_xxx, _data, _reply, 0);。

如：

//获取状态

public int getStatus(java.lang.String flag) throws android.os.RemoteException
{
android.os.Parcel _data = android.os.Parcel.obtain();
android.os.Parcel _reply = android.os.Parcel.obtain();
int _result;
try {
_data.writeInterfaceToken(DESCRIPTOR);
_data.writeString(flag);
mRemote.transact(Stub.TRANSACTION_getStatus, _data, _reply, 0);
_reply.readException();
_result = _reply.readInt();
}
finally {
_reply.recycle();
_data.recycle();
}
return _result;
}

这一过程是把Client端的参数转换成Parcel（_data）传递到Server端，而在Server端又会把返回数据保存到_reply中，这就形成了一次交互。

mRemote是远程对象，transact方法会执行onTransact方法

public final boolean transact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply,
int flags) throws RemoteException {
if (Config.LOGV) Log.v("Binder", "Transact: " + code + " to " + this);
if (data != null) {
data.setDataPosition(0);
}
boolean r = onTransact(code, data, reply, flags);
if (reply != null) {
reply.setDataPosition(0);
}
return r;
}

这样就会执行远程的onTransact方法，

case TRANSACTION_getStatus:
{
data.enforceInterface(DESCRIPTOR);
java.lang.String _arg0;
_arg0 = data.readString();
int _result = this.getStatus(_arg0);
reply.writeNoException();
reply.writeInt(_result);
return true;
}

注意 int _result = this.getStatus(_arg0);，这就调用了Server端的getStatus(String flag)，并把返回结果写到Client端的代理Proxy对象的_reply中

到此，aidl通信过程就完成了。

PS: aidl通信有点复杂，但仔细分析并不是很难
