31 /**
32  * Base interface for a remotable object, the core part of a lightweight
33  * remote procedure call mechanism designed for high performance when
34  * performing in-process and cross-process calls.  This
35  * interface describes the abstract protocol for interacting with a
36  * remotable object.  Do not implement this interface directly, instead
37  * extend from {@link Binder}.
38  *
39  * <p>The key IBinder API is {@link #transact transact()} matched by
40  * {@link Binder#onTransact Binder.onTransact()}.  These
41  * methods allow you to send a call to an IBinder object and receive a
42  * call coming in to a Binder object, respectively.  This transaction API
43  * is synchronous, such that a call to {@link #transact transact()} does not
44  * return until the target has returned from
45  * {@link Binder#onTransact Binder.onTransact()}; this is the
46  * expected behavior when calling an object that exists in the local
47  * process, and the underlying inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism
48  * ensures that these same semantics apply when going across processes.
49  *
50  * <p>The data sent through transact() is a {@link Parcel}, a generic buffer
51  * of data that also maintains some meta-data about its contents.  The meta
52  * data is used to manage IBinder object references in the buffer, so that those
53  * references can be maintained as the buffer moves across processes.  This
54  * mechanism ensures that when an IBinder is written into a Parcel and sent to
55  * another process, if that other process sends a reference to that same IBinder
56  * back to the original process, then the original process will receive the
57  * same IBinder object back.  These semantics allow IBinder/Binder objects to
58  * be used as a unique identity (to serve as a token or for other purposes)
59  * that can be managed across processes.
60  *
61  * <p>The system maintains a pool of transaction threads in each process that
62  * it runs in.  These threads are used to dispatch all
63  * IPCs coming in from other processes.  For example, when an IPC is made from
64  * process A to process B, the calling thread in A blocks in transact() as
65  * it sends the transaction to process B.  The next available pool thread in
66  * B receives the incoming transaction, calls Binder.onTransact() on the target
67  * object, and replies with the result Parcel.  Upon receiving its result, the
68  * thread in process A returns to allow its execution to continue.  In effect,
69  * other processes appear to use as additional threads that you did not create
70  * executing in your own process.
71  *
72  * <p>The Binder system also supports recursion across processes.  For example
73  * if process A performs a transaction to process B, and process B while
74  * handling that transaction calls transact() on an IBinder that is implemented
75  * in A, then the thread in A that is currently waiting for the original
76  * transaction to finish will take care of calling Binder.onTransact() on the
77  * object being called by B.  This ensures that the recursion semantics when
78  * calling remote binder object are the same as when calling local objects.
79  *
80  * <p>When working with remote objects, you often want to find out when they
81  * are no longer valid.  There are three ways this can be determined:
82  * <ul>
83  * <li> The {@link #transact transact()} method will throw a
84  * {@link RemoteException} exception if you try to call it on an IBinder
85  * whose process no longer exists.
86  * <li> The {@link #pingBinder()} method can be called, and will return false
87  * if the remote process no longer exists.
88  * <li> The {@link #linkToDeath linkToDeath()} method can be used to register
89  * a {@link DeathRecipient} with the IBinder, which will be called when its
90  * containing process goes away.
91  * </ul>
