本例和下列Local Service Controller 的Activity代码都定义在LocalServiceActivities.Java 中,作为LocalServiceActivities 内部类实现的。 调用的Service为LocalService。
LocalService既可以做为“Started” Service,也可以做为”Bound” Service。
一个“Bound” Service 可以通过Client/Service模式提供Service。它运行应用程序组件(比如Activity)与之绑定,然后接受请求并返回响应或者提供进 程间通信机制,它的生命周期通常与调用它的组件(如Activity)相同。 而对于LocalService即作为“Started” Service又作为“Bound”Service,如果LocalService已作为“Started” Service启动,中即使所有Client都断开与它的绑定,LocalService也不会停止。
如果一个Service需要作为“Bound”Service运行其它组件与之绑定,就必须实现onBind方法。这个方法返回一个IBound对象给Client。Client可以通过这个IBind对象来调用Service的方法。
Client可以通过bindService来实现与“Bound”Service的绑定,Service 与 Client 的绑定是异步实现的,因此Client 需要通过 ServiceConnection 接口来监视与Service之间的连接。 Client 调用bindService 时,bindService 立即返回,之后当Android系统为Client 和Service之间建立起链接后调用 ServiceConnection 的 onServiceConnection 来通知Client 与Service之间的链接建立成功,并给Client返回 Service 提供的IBind对象。
LocalService 只提供给同一个Application的组件使用,不提供进程间通信接口,因此只需要派生一个Binder的子类如果直接的函数调用接口。
// Class for clients to access. Because we know // this service always runs in the same process as //its clients, we don‘t need to deal with IPC. public class LocalBinder extends Binder { LocalService getService() { return LocalService.this; } }
LocalBinder只提供了一个方法getService ,返回LocalService 对象自身。
LocalService的 onBind方法定义:
@Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return mBinder; } // This is the object that receives interactions from clients. See // RemoteService for a more complete example. private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();
onBind的返回值为mBinder 为 LocalBinder类对象。它定义了一个方法getService。
再来看看Client类 LocalServiceActivities.Binding 的实现:
private LocalService mBoundService; private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() { public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) { // This is called when the connection with the service has been // established, giving us the service object we can use to // interact with the service. Because we have bound to a explicit // service that we know is running in our own process, we can // cast its IBinder to a concrete class and directly access it. mBoundService = ((LocalService.LocalBinder)service).getService(); // Tell the user about this for our demo. Toast.makeText(Binding.this, R.string.local_service_connected, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) { // This is called when the connection with the service has been // unexpectedly disconnected -- that is, its process crashed. // Because it is running in our same process, we should never // see this happen. mBoundService = null; Toast.makeText(Binding.this, R.string.local_service_disconnected, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } };
mConnection定义了ServiceConnection接口,onServiceConnected ,onServiceDisconnected分别在Service与Client 之间建立链接和断开链接时调用。其中IBinder service 就是 Service 的onBind的返回对象。 这里将其通过类型转换为LocalService也就是mBoundService。
Client 通过调用bindService建立与Service之间的绑定:
void doBindService() { // Establish a connection with the service. We use an explicit // class name because we want a specific service implementation that // we know will be running in our own process (and thus won‘t be // supporting component replacement by other applications). bindService(new Intent(Binding.this, LocalService.class), mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); mIsBound = true; }
如果需要断开与Service之间的绑定,则调用unbindService.
void doUnbindService() { if (mIsBound) { // Detach our existing connection. unbindService(mConnection); mIsBound = false; } }
如果你熟悉Socket编程, Client 绑定”Bound”Service 的方法和使用Socket通信非常类似。
