linux内核提供了一个Input子系统来实现的,Input子系统会在/dev/input/路径下创建我们硬件输入设备的节点,一般情况下在我们的 手机中这些节点是以eventXX来命名的,如event0,event1等等,可以利用EVIOCGNAME获取此事件结点名称。这就是android 中对于input事件处理数据的来源点。
---------------
通过ioctl命令EVIOCGNAME,能获取dev/input/event*对应的Device Name。
实例:
openInput(const char* inputName) {
int fd = -1;
const char *dirname = "/dev/input";
char devname[PATH_MAX];
char *filename;
DIR *dir;
struct dirent *de;
dir = opendir(dirname);
if(dir == NULL)
return -1;
strcpy(devname, dirname);
filename = devname + strlen(devname);
*filename++ = ‘/‘;
while((de = readdir(dir))) {
if(de->d_name[0] == ‘.‘ &&
(de->d_name[1] == ‘\0‘ ||
(de->d_name[1] == ‘.‘ && de->d_name[2] == ‘\0‘)))
continue;
strcpy(filename, de->d_name);
fd = open(devname, O_RDONLY);
if (fd>=0) {
char name[80];
if (ioctl(fd, EVIOCGNAME(sizeof(name) - 1), &name) < 1) {
name[0] = ‘\0‘;
}
if (!strcmp(name, inputName)) {
break;
} else {
close(fd);
fd = -1;
}
}
}
closedir(dir);
LOGE_IF(fd<0, "couldn‘t find ‘%s‘ input device", inputName);
LOGI_IF(fd>=0, "Found ‘%s‘ input device in %s", inputName, dirname);
return fd;
}
