aidl

( I know there're multiple questions on stackoverflow and elsewhere (like google group) about adding parcelable for NetworkInfo but this is not about that. ) My work is under $(AOSP_ROOT)/device/ and involves multiple aidl files. one of it is like, package com.example; parcelable SomeRequest; And another aidl is like, package com.example; import com.example.SomeRequest; interface SomeService { SomeRequest getRequest(); } And I'll get compile errors like, device/somedevice/sdk/libs/aidl/com/example/SomeService.aidl:9: couldn't find import for class com.example.SomeRequest I'm wondering it is

aidl 是 android interface define language 的缩写，主要是作为进程间通讯的一个接口规范，这种通讯是一种普通的 client-server 的模式，对于 client 来说只需知道 aidl 即可，无需知道实现细节就能实现调用，之所以用 aidl 是因为系统可以自动完成 decompose/marshal 或者 serialize/unserialize 的工作。 对于 server 端主要是提供 service， 这个 service 可以是 started service, 也可以是 bound service，也可以两者兼具，started service 是一直运行的， bound service 如果不同时是 started service，那么只是在 client 调用 bindService 的时候被创建来提供服务，调用结束后就自动销毁了，对于 bound service 可以支持三种通讯方式，一是进程内通讯，这时不涉及 aidl，二是单线程通讯，这时通过 messenger，本质上也是 aidl 的方式，第三种是 aidl，这种是支持并发调用 service 的 来源： https://www.cnblogs.com/sky-view/p/11437843.html

to understand the AIDL in android, i want one real life example, means the at what scenario of development we need to use AIDL . by reading the Android Docs ... It puts me in confusion and so many question, so it is hard to read whole doc for me, can anyone help me is it for communicating with outside the phone. or to communicating with different apps, (why we need to communicate with other apps) what kind of service they are talking in docs AIDL is used for Binder. Binder is a mechanism to do RPC calls on/from an Android Service. When to use AIDL? When you need a Service. When do you need a

So I've written a Service and an Activity for the Android OS. My service is running in it's own process, so all the communication between my Activities and the Service happens via IPC. I use the standard Android .aidl mechanism for this. So far everything works fine. However, the AIDL generates all method stubs using "throws RemoteException" so I have to handle them. I did a quick grep on the entire Android source-code and only found three cases where this exception is ever thrown. These are in a different service that I don't connect with. I checked the C-sources as well because in theory

I have the folowing method in a Service in my appplication: public void switchSpeaker(boolean speakerFlag){ if(speakerFlag){ audio_service.setSpeakerphoneOn(false); } else{ audio_service.setSpeakerphoneOn(true); } } So my question is whats the best and most effective way to be able to use this method in an Activity like follows final Button speaker_Button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.widget36); speaker_Button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){ public void onClick(View v){ switchSpeaker(true); //method from Service } }); Do I have to do an AIDL or is there a simpler way? You have to

I'm using aidl to answer call automagically, code as following: ITelephony.Stub.asInterface(ServiceManager.getService("phone")) .answerRingingCall(); I import ServiceManager.class import android.os.ServiceManager; but there's a problem:The import android.os.ServiceManager cannot be resolved How can I make it work? Thanks Chaitali android.os.ServiceManager is a hidden class (i.e., @hide ) and hidden classes (even if they are public in the Java sense) are removed from android.jar, hence you get the error when you try to import ServiceManager . Hidden classes are those that Google does not want
