为使应用程序之间能够彼此通信,Android提供了IPC (Inter Process Communication,进程间通信)的一种独特实现: AIDL (Android Interface Definition Language, Android接口定义语言)。
建立两个Android项目,一个是client,一个是server(提供service)。
这篇文章将通过一个项目来介绍AIDL用法,包含了service和client。可能简单了些,不过轻省许多。
本文提供了一个关于AIDL使用的简单易懂的例子,分为客户端和服务端两部分,分别为客户端和服务端新建一个eclipse工程,实现了从客户端向服务端发送请求,服务端打印log的功能。
客户端和服务端的源码结构如下:
注意,由于客户端和服务端的aidl文件所在包名必须一样,而两个包名一样的程序在安装时会产生冲突,所以这里用了一个技巧,在客户端工程的AndroidManifest.xml里把包名指定为com.styleflying,所以大家就会看到gen目录下的R.java所在的包是com.styleflying而不是com.styleflying.AIDL
现在客户端和服务端工程分别新建一个aidl接口,所在包和文件名必须一样。两个aidl接口是一样的,内容如下:
package com.styleflying.AIDL;
interface mInterface{
void invokTest();
}
package com.styleflying.AIDL;
interface mInterface{
void invokTest();
}
自动编译生成.java文件如下:
package com.styleflying.AIDL;
public interface mInterface extends IInterface {
/** Local-side IPC implementation stub class. */
public static abstract class Stub extends Binder implements mInterface {
private static final String DESCRIPTOR = "com.styleflying.AIDL.mInterface";
/** Construct the stub at attach it to the interface. */
public Stub() {
this.attachInterface(this, DESCRIPTOR);
}
/**
* Cast an IBinder object into an com.styleflying.AIDL.mInterface interface,
* generating a proxy if needed.
*/
public static mInterface asInterface(IBinder obj) {
if ((obj==null)) {
return null;
}
IInterface iin = (IInterface)obj.queryLocalInterface(DESCRIPTOR);
if (((iin!=null)&&(iin instanceof mInterface))) {
return ((com.styleflying.AIDL.mInterface)iin);
}
return new com.styleflying.AIDL.mInterface.Stub.Proxy(obj);
}
public android.os.IBinder asBinder() {
return this;
}
@Override
public boolean onTransact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply, int flags)
throws RemoteException {
switch (code) {
case INTERFACE_TRANSACTION:
reply.writeString(DESCRIPTOR);
return true;
case TRANSACTION_invokTest:
data.enforceInterface(DESCRIPTOR);
this.invokTest();
reply.writeNoException();
return true;
}
return super.onTransact(code, data, reply, flags);
}
private static class Proxy implements mInterface {
private IBinder mRemote;
Proxy(IBinder remote) {
mRemote = remote;
}
public IBinder asBinder() {
return mRemote;
}
public String getInterfaceDescriptor() {
return DESCRIPTOR;
}
public void invokTest() throws RemoteException {
Parcel _data = Parcel.obtain();
Parcel _reply = Parcel.obtain();
try {
_data.writeInterfaceToken(DESCRIPTOR);
mRemote.transact(Stub.TRANSACTION_invokTest, _data, _reply, 0);
_reply.readException();
}finally {
_reply.recycle();
_data.recycle();
}
}
}
static final int TRANSACTION_invokTest = (IBinder.FIRST_CALL_TRANSACTION + 0);
}
public void invokTest() throws RemoteException;
}

}
}
客户端在执行bindService的时候,成功绑定服务之后,会回调mConnection的onServiceConnected(),并且传回了服务端的通信接口IBinder,此IBinder即服务onBind()时返回的IBinder,详见mAIDLService.java。
在onServiceConnected(),客户端成功获取了服务端通信接口,实际上是本地代理对象,该对象存在于客户端进程空间,客户端只和代理对象交互,真正的IPC通信是本地代理对象和服务端的通信。
mAIDLService.java如下:
package com.styleflying.AIDL;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.Looper;
import android.os.RemoteException;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class mAIDLService extends Service{
private static final String TAG = "AIDLService";
private void Log(String str){
Log.i(TAG,"----------" + str + "----------");
}
public void onCreate(){
Log("service created");
}
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId){
Log("service started id = " + startId);
}
public IBinder onBind(Intent t){
Log("service on bind");
return mBinder;
}
public void onDestroy(){
Log("service on destroy");
super.onDestroy();
}
public boolean onUnbind(Intent intent){
Log("service on unbind");
return super.onUnbind(intent);
}
public void onRebind(Intent intent){
Log("service on rebind");
super.onRebind(intent);
}
private final mInterface.Stub mBinder = new mInterface.Stub() {
public void invokTest() throws RemoteException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.e(TAG, "remote call from client! current thread id = " + Thread.currentThread().getId());
}
};
}
package com.styleflying.AIDL;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.Looper;
import android.os.RemoteException;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class mAIDLService extends Service{
private static final String TAG = "AIDLService";
private void Log(String str){
Log.i(TAG,"----------" + str + "----------");
}
public void onCreate(){
Log("service created");
}
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId){
Log("service started id = " + startId);
}
public IBinder onBind(Intent t){
Log("service on bind");
return mBinder;
}
public void onDestroy(){
Log("service on destroy");
super.onDestroy();
}
public boolean onUnbind(Intent intent){
Log("service on unbind");
return super.onUnbind(intent);
}
public void onRebind(Intent intent){
Log("service on rebind");
super.onRebind(intent);
}
private final mInterface.Stub mBinder = new mInterface.Stub() {
public void invokTest() throws RemoteException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.e(TAG, "remote call from client! current thread id = " + Thread.currentThread().getId());
}
};
}
注意onBind()函数,返回了mBinder,而mBinder实现了mInterface.Stub,实现了mInterface接口,执行了打印log的操作。
整个交互流程如下:
1)客户端通过绑定服务,获取了服务的句柄(本地代理对象);
2)客户端执行onClick(),调用本地代理对象的invokTest()函数,本地代理对象调用mRemote.transact()发出远程调用请求(见 mInterface.java);
3)服务端响应onTransact()执行this.invokTest(),并将执行结果返回;
由于客户端只和本地代理对象即服务句柄通信,由代理对象进行真正的IPC操作,所以对客户端来说,IPC过程是透明的,调用远程操作如同调用本地操作一样。在客户端调用transact()时,会将服务描述DSCRIPTION写入到data里,在客户端onTransact时会验证,如果两个不一样,则不能通信。而DSCRIPTION是根据mInterface包名和接口名自动生成的,这就是为什么两个工程里的mInterface.aidl要在同一个包的原因。
在这个过程中,mInterface.aidl起到了桥梁的作用,规定统一了客户端和服务端的通信接口,使得客户端和服务端得以成功的通信。
具体的通信transact和onTransact的过程也就是利用Binder驱动通信的过程,在这里就不多叙述。
最后补上两个工程的AndroidManifest.xml
