Typedefs

AIBinder

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

struct AIBinder AIBinder

AIBinder

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

struct AIBinder AIBinder

AIBinder_Class

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

struct AIBinder_Class AIBinder_Class

AIBinder_Class_onCreate

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void *(* AIBinder_Class_onCreate)(void *args)

This is called whenever a new AIBinder object is needed of a specific class.

Details

Parameters

args

these can be used to construct a new class. These are passed from AIBinder_new.

Returns

this is the userdata representing the class. It can be retrieved using AIBinder_getUserData.

AIBinder_Class_onDestroy

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void(* AIBinder_Class_onDestroy)(void *userData)

This is called whenever an AIBinder object is no longer referenced and needs destroyed.

Typically, this just deletes whatever the implementation is.

Details

Parameters

userData

this is the same object returned by AIBinder_Class_onCreate

AIBinder_Class_onTransact

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t(* AIBinder_Class_onTransact)(AIBinder *binder, transaction_code_t code, const AParcel *in, AParcel *out)

This is called whenever a transaction needs to be processed by a local implementation.

This method will be called after the equivalent of android.os.Parcel::enforceInterface is called. That is, the interface descriptor associated with the AIBinder_Class descriptor will already be checked.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the object being transacted on.
`code`	implementation-specific code representing which transaction should be taken.
`in`	the implementation-specific input data to this transaction.
`out`	the implementation-specific output data to this transaction.

Returns

the implementation-specific output code. This may be forwarded from another service, the result of a parcel read or write, or another error as is applicable to the specific implementation. Usually, implementation-specific error codes are written to the output parcel, and the transaction code is reserved for kernel errors or error codes that have been repeated from subsequent transactions.

AIBinder_DeathRecipient

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

struct AIBinder_DeathRecipient AIBinder_DeathRecipient

AIBinder_DeathRecipient_onBinderDied

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void(* AIBinder_DeathRecipient_onBinderDied)(void *cookie)

This function is executed on death receipt.

See AIBinder_linkToDeath/AIBinder_unlinkToDeath.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

cookie

the cookie passed to AIBinder_linkToDeath.

AIBinder_DeathRecipient_onBinderUnlinked

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void(* AIBinder_DeathRecipient_onBinderUnlinked)(void *cookie)

This function is intended for cleaning up the data in the provided cookie, and it is executed when the DeathRecipient is unlinked.

When the DeathRecipient is unlinked due to a death receipt, this method is called after the call to onBinderDied.

This method is called once for each binder that is unlinked. Hence, if the same cookie is passed to multiple binders, then the caller is responsible for reference counting the cookie.

See also AIBinder_linkToDeath/AIBinder_unlinkToDeath.

WARNING: Make sure the lifetime of this cookie is long enough. If it is dynamically allocated, it should be deleted with AIBinder_DeathRecipient_setOnUnlinked.

Available since API level 33.

Details

Parameters

cookie

the cookie passed to AIBinder_linkToDeath.

binder_status_t result of transaction (if remote, for instance)

AParcel

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

struct AParcel AParcel

AParcel_boolArrayAllocator

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

bool(* AParcel_boolArrayAllocator)(void *arrayData, int32_t length)

This allocates an array of size 'length' inside of arrayData and returns whether or not there was a success.

If length is -1, then this should allocate some representation of a null array.

AParcel_boolArrayGetter

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

bool(* AParcel_boolArrayGetter)(const void *arrayData, size_t index)

This is called to get the underlying data from an arrayData object at index.

AParcel_boolArraySetter

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

void(* AParcel_boolArraySetter)(void *arrayData, size_t index, bool value)

This is called to set an underlying value in an arrayData object at index.

AParcel_byteArrayAllocator

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

bool(* AParcel_byteArrayAllocator)(void *arrayData, int32_t length, int8_t **outBuffer)

This is called to get the underlying data from an arrayData object.

The implementation of this function should allocate a contiguous array of size 'length' and return that underlying buffer to be filled out. If there is an error or length is 0, null may be returned. If length is -1, this should allocate some representation of a null array.

AParcel_charArrayAllocator

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

binder_status_t(* AParcel_readParcelableElement)(const AParcel *parcel, void *arrayData, size_t index)

This is called to set an underlying value in an arrayData object at index.

AParcel_stringAllocator

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

bool(* AParcel_stringAllocator)(void *stringData, int32_t length, char **buffer)

This is called to allocate a buffer for a C-style string (null-terminated).

The returned buffer should be at least length bytes. This includes space for a null terminator. For a string, length will always be strictly less than or equal to the maximum size that can be held in a size_t and will always be greater than 0. However, if a 'null' string is being read, length will be -1.

AParcel_stringArrayAllocator

Declared in android/binder_parcel.h

bool(* AParcel_stringArrayAllocator)(void *arrayData, int32_t length)

This is called to allocate an array of size 'length'.

If length is -1, then a 'null' array (or equivalent) should be created.

bool(* AParcel_stringArrayElementAllocator)(void *arrayData, size_t index, int32_t length, char **buffer)

This is called to allocate a string inside of an array that was allocated by an AParcel_stringArrayAllocator.

The index returned will always be within the range [0, length of arrayData). The returned buffer should be at least length bytes. This includes space for a null-terminator. For a string, length will always be strictly less than or equal to the maximum size that can be held in a size_t and will always be greater than 0. However, if a 'null' string is being read, length will be -1.

Functions

AIBinder_Class_define

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

AIBinder_Class * AIBinder_Class_define(
  const char *interfaceDescriptor,
  AIBinder_Class_onCreate onCreate,
  AIBinder_Class_onDestroy onDestroy,
  AIBinder_Class_onTransact onTransact
)

This creates a new instance of a class of binders which can be instantiated.

This is called one time during library initialization and cleaned up when the process exits or execs.

None of these parameters can be null.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`interfaceDescriptor`	this is a unique identifier for the class. This is used internally for validity checks on transactions. This should be utf-8.
`onCreate`	see AIBinder_Class_onCreate.
`onDestroy`	see AIBinder_Class_onDestroy.
`onTransact`	see AIBinder_Class_onTransact.

Returns

the class object representing these parameters or null on error.

AIBinder_Class_disableInterfaceTokenHeader

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void AIBinder_Class_disableInterfaceTokenHeader(
  AIBinder_Class *clazz
)

This tells users of this class not to use a transaction header.

By default, libbinder_ndk users read/write transaction headers implicitly (in the SDK, this must be manually written by android.os.Parcel::writeInterfaceToken, and it is read/checked with android.os.Parcel::enforceInterface). This method is provided in order to talk to legacy code which does not write an interface token. When this is disabled, type safety is reduced, so you must have a separate way of determining the binder you are talking to is the right type. Must be called before any instance of the class is created.

Available since API level 33.

WARNING: this API interacts badly with linkernamespaces. For correct behavior, you must use it on all instances of a class in the same process which share the same interface descriptor. In general, it is recommended you do not use this API, because it is disabling type safety.

Details

Parameters

clazz

class to disable interface header on.

AIBinder_Class_getDescriptor

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

const char * AIBinder_Class_getDescriptor(
  const AIBinder_Class *clazz
)

Retrieve the class descriptor for the class.

Available since API level 31.

Details

Parameters

clazz

the class to fetch the descriptor from

Returns

the class descriptor string. This pointer will never be null; a descriptor is required to define a class. The pointer is owned by the class and will remain valid as long as the class does. For a local class, this will be the same value (not necessarily pointer equal) as is passed into AIBinder_Class_define. Format is utf-8.

AIBinder_Class_setOnDump

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void AIBinder_Class_setOnDump(
  AIBinder_Class *clazz,
  AIBinder_onDump onDump
)

This sets the implementation of the dump method for a class.

If this isn't set, nothing will be dumped when dump is called (for instance with android.os.Binder::dump). Must be called before any instance of the class is created.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`clazz`	class which should use this dump function
`onDump`	function to call when an instance of this binder class is being dumped.

AIBinder_DeathRecipient_delete

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void AIBinder_DeathRecipient_delete(
  AIBinder_DeathRecipient *recipient
)

Deletes a binder death recipient.

It is not necessary to call AIBinder_unlinkToDeath before calling this as these will all be automatically unlinked.

Be aware that it is not safe to immediately deallocate the cookie when this call returns. If you need to clean up the cookie, you should do so in the onUnlinked callback, which can be set using AIBinder_DeathRecipient_setOnUnlinked.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

recipient

the binder to delete (previously created with AIBinder_DeathRecipient_new).

AIBinder_DeathRecipient_new

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

AIBinder_DeathRecipient * AIBinder_DeathRecipient_new(
  AIBinder_DeathRecipient_onBinderDied onBinderDied
)

Creates a new binder death recipient.

This can be attached to multiple different binder objects.

Available since API level 29.

WARNING: Make sure the lifetime of this cookie is long enough. If it is dynamically allocated, it should be deleted with AIBinder_DeathRecipient_setOnUnlinked.

Details

Parameters

onBinderDied

the callback to call when this death recipient is invoked.

Returns

the newly constructed object (or null if onBinderDied is null).

AIBinder_DeathRecipient_setOnUnlinked

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void AIBinder_DeathRecipient_setOnUnlinked(
  AIBinder_DeathRecipient *recipient,
  AIBinder_DeathRecipient_onBinderUnlinked onUnlinked
)

Set the callback to be called when this DeathRecipient is unlinked from a binder.

The callback is called in the following situations:

If the binder died, shortly after the call to onBinderDied.
If the binder is explicitly unlinked with AIBinder_unlinkToDeath or AIBinder_DeathRecipient_delete, after any pending onBinderDied calls finish.
During or shortly after the AIBinder_linkToDeath call if it returns an error.

It is guaranteed that the callback is called exactly once for each call to linkToDeath unless the process is aborted before the binder is unlinked.

Be aware that when the binder is explicitly unlinked, it is not guaranteed that onUnlinked has been called before the call to AIBinder_unlinkToDeath or AIBinder_DeathRecipient_delete returns. For example, if the binder dies concurrently with a call to AIBinder_unlinkToDeath, the binder is not unlinked until after the death notification is delivered, even if AIBinder_unlinkToDeath returns before that happens.

This method should be called before linking the DeathRecipient to a binder because the function pointer is cached. If you change it after linking to a binder, it is unspecified whether the old binder will call the old or new onUnlinked callback.

The onUnlinked argument may be null. In this case, no notification is given when the binder is unlinked.

Available since API level 33.

Details

Parameters

`recipient`	the DeathRecipient to set the onUnlinked callback for.
`onUnlinked`	the callback to call when a binder is unlinked from recipient.

AIBinder_Weak_clone

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

AIBinder_Weak * AIBinder_Weak_clone(
  const AIBinder_Weak *weak
)

Clone an AIBinder_Weak.

Useful because even if a weak binder promotes to a null value, after further binder transactions, it may no longer promote to a null value.

Available since API level 31.

Details

Parameters

weak

Object to clone

Returns

clone of the input parameter. This must be deleted with AIBinder_Weak_delete. Null if weak input parameter is also null.

AIBinder_Weak_delete

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void AIBinder_Weak_delete(
  AIBinder_Weak *weakBinder
)

Deletes the weak reference.

This will have no impact on the lifetime of the binder.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

weakBinder

object created with AIBinder_Weak_new.

AIBinder_Weak_lt

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

bool AIBinder_Weak_lt(
  const AIBinder_Weak *lhs,
  const AIBinder_Weak *rhs
)

Whether AIBinder_Weak is less than another.

This provides a per-process-unique total ordering of binders which is exactly the same as AIBinder_lt. Similarly, a null AIBinder_Weak* is considered to be ordered before all other weak references.

This function correctly distinguishes binders even if one is deallocated. So, for instance, an AIBinder_Weak* entry representing a deleted binder will never compare as equal to an AIBinder_Weak* entry which represents a different allocation of a binder, even if the two binders were originally allocated at the same address. That is:

AIBinder* a = ...; // imagine this has address 0x8
AIBinder_Weak* bWeak = AIBinder_Weak_new(a);
AIBinder_decStrong(a); // a may be deleted, if this is the last reference
AIBinder* b = ...; // imagine this has address 0x8 (same address as b)
AIBinder_Weak* bWeak = AIBinder_Weak_new(b);

Then when a/b are compared with other binders, their order will be preserved, and it will either be the case that AIBinder_Weak_lt(aWeak, bWeak) OR AIBinder_Weak_lt(bWeak, aWeak), but not both.

Unlike AIBinder*, the AIBinder_Weak* addresses themselves have nothing to do with the underlying binder.

Available since API level 31.

Details

Parameters

`lhs`	comparison object
`rhs`	comparison object

Returns

whether "lhs < rhs" is true

AIBinder_Weak_new

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

AIBinder_Weak * AIBinder_Weak_new(
  AIBinder *binder
)

This does not take any ownership of the input binder, but it can be used to retrieve it if something else in some process still holds a reference to it.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

object to create a weak pointer to.

Returns

object representing a weak pointer to binder (or null if binder is null).

AIBinder_Weak_promote

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

AIBinder * AIBinder_Weak_promote(
  AIBinder_Weak *weakBinder
)

If promotion succeeds, result will have one strong refcount added to it.

Otherwise, this returns null.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

weakBinder

weak pointer to attempt retrieving the original object from.

Returns

an AIBinder object with one refcount given to the caller or null.

AIBinder_associateClass

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

bool AIBinder_associateClass(
  AIBinder *binder,
  const AIBinder_Class *clazz
)

This sets the class of an AIBinder object.

This checks to make sure the remote object is of the expected class. A class must be set in order to use transactions on an AIBinder object. However, if an object is just intended to be passed through to another process or used as a handle this need not be called.

This returns true if the class association succeeds. If it fails, no change is made to the binder object.

Warning: this may fail if the binder is dead.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the object to attach the class to.
`clazz`	the clazz to attach to binder.

Returns

true if the binder has the class clazz and if the association was successful.

AIBinder_debugGetRefCount

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

int32_t AIBinder_debugGetRefCount(
  AIBinder *binder
)

For debugging only!

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the binder object to retrieve the refcount of.

Returns

the number of strong-refs on this binder in this process. If binder is null, this will be -1.

AIBinder_decStrong

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void AIBinder_decStrong(
  AIBinder *binder
)

This will delete the object and call onDestroy once the refcount reaches zero.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the binder object to remove a refcount from.

AIBinder_dump

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_dump(
  AIBinder *binder,
  int fd,
  const char **args,
  uint32_t numArgs
)

Built-in transaction for all binder objects.

This dumps information about a given binder.

See also AIBinder_Class_setOnDump, AIBinder_onDump.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the binder to dump information about
`fd`	where information should be dumped to
`args`	null-terminated arguments to pass (may be null if numArgs is 0)
`numArgs`	number of args to send

Returns

STATUS_OK if dump succeeds (or if there is nothing to dump)

AIBinder_fromJavaBinder

Declared in android/binder_ibinder_jni.h

AIBinder * AIBinder_fromJavaBinder(
  JNIEnv *env,
  jobject binder
)

Converts an android.os.IBinder object into an AIBinder* object.

If the binder is null, null is returned. If this binder object was originally an AIBinder object, the original object is returned. The returned object has one refcount associated with it, and so this should be accompanied with an AIBinder_decStrong call.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`env`	Java environment. Must not be null.
`binder`	android.os.IBinder java object.

Returns

an AIBinder object representing the Java binder object. If either parameter is null, or the Java object is of the wrong type, this will return null.

AIBinder_getCallingPid

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

pid_t AIBinder_getCallingPid()

This returns the calling PID assuming that this thread is called from a thread that is processing a binder transaction (for instance, in the implementation of AIBinder_Class_onTransact).

This can be used with higher-level system services to determine the caller's identity and check permissions. However, when doing this, one should be aware of possible TOCTOU problems when the calling process dies and is replaced with another process with elevated permissions and the same PID.

Warning: oneway transactions do not receive PID. Even if you expect a transaction to be synchronous, a misbehaving client could send it as a synchronous call and result in a 0 PID here. Additionally, if there is a race and the calling process dies, the PID may still be 0 for a synchronous call.

Available since API level 29.

Details
Returns	calling pid or the current process's PID if this thread isn't processing a transaction. If the transaction being processed is a oneway transaction, then this method will return 0.

AIBinder_getCallingUid

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

uid_t AIBinder_getCallingUid()

This returns the calling UID assuming that this thread is called from a thread that is processing a binder transaction (for instance, in the implementation of AIBinder_Class_onTransact).

This can be used with higher-level system services to determine the caller's identity and check permissions.

Available since API level 29.

Details
Returns	calling uid or the current process's UID if this thread isn't processing a transaction.

AIBinder_getClass

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

const AIBinder_Class * AIBinder_getClass(
  AIBinder *binder
)

Returns the class that this binder was constructed with or associated with.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the object that is being queried.

Returns

the class that this binder is associated with. If this binder wasn't created with AIBinder_new, and AIBinder_associateClass hasn't been called, then this will return null.

AIBinder_getExtension

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_getExtension(
  AIBinder *binder,
  AIBinder **outExt
)

Gets the extension registered with AIBinder_setExtension.

See AIBinder_setExtension.

Available since API level 30.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the object to get the extension of.
`outExt`	the returned extension object. Will be null if there is no extension set or non-null with one strong ref count.

Returns

error of getting the interface (may be a transaction error if this is remote binder). STATUS_UNEXPECTED_NULL if binder is null.

AIBinder_getUserData

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void * AIBinder_getUserData(
  AIBinder *binder
)

Value returned by onCreate for a local binder.

For stateless classes (if onCreate returns null), this also returns null. For a remote binder, this will always return null.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the object that is being queried.

Returns

the userdata returned from AIBinder_onCreate when this object was created. This may be null for stateless objects. For remote objects, this is always null.

AIBinder_incStrong

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

void AIBinder_incStrong(
  AIBinder *binder
)

This can only be called if a strong reference to this object already exists in process.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the binder object to add a refcount to.

AIBinder_isAlive

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

bool AIBinder_isAlive(
  const AIBinder *binder
)

If this binder is known to be alive.

This will not send a transaction to a remote process and returns a result based on the last known information. That is, whenever a transaction is made, this is automatically updated to reflect the current alive status of this binder. This will be updated as the result of a transaction made using AIBinder_transact, but it will also be updated based on the results of bookkeeping or other transactions made internally.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the binder being queried.

Returns

true if the binder is alive.

AIBinder_isHandlingTransaction

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

bool AIBinder_isHandlingTransaction()

Determine whether the current thread is currently executing an incoming transaction.

Details
Returns	true if the current thread is currently executing an incoming transaction, and false otherwise.

AIBinder_isRemote

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

bool AIBinder_isRemote(
  const AIBinder *binder
)

If this is hosted in a process other than the current one.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the binder being queried.

Returns

true if the AIBinder represents an object in another process.

AIBinder_linkToDeath

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_linkToDeath(
  AIBinder *binder,
  AIBinder_DeathRecipient *recipient,
  void *cookie
)

Registers for notifications that the associated binder is dead.

The same death recipient may be associated with multiple different binders. If the binder is local, then no death recipient will be given (since if the local process dies, then no recipient will exist to receive a transaction). The cookie is passed to recipient in the case that this binder dies and can be null. The exact cookie must also be used to unlink this transaction (see AIBinder_unlinkToDeath). This function may return a binder transaction failure. The cookie can be used both for identification and holding user data.

If binder is local, this will return STATUS_INVALID_OPERATION.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the binder object you want to receive death notifications from.
`recipient`	the callback that will receive notifications when/if the binder dies.
`cookie`	the value that will be passed to the death recipient on death.

Returns

STATUS_OK on success.

AIBinder_lt

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

bool AIBinder_lt(
  const AIBinder *lhs,
  const AIBinder *rhs
)

Whether AIBinder is less than another.

This provides a per-process-unique total ordering of binders where a null AIBinder* object is considered to be before all other binder objects. For instance, two binders refer to the same object in a local or remote process when both AIBinder_lt(a, b) and AIBinder_lt(b, a) are false. This API might be used to insert and lookup binders in binary search trees.

AIBinder* pointers themselves actually also create a per-process-unique total ordering. However, this ordering is inconsistent with AIBinder_Weak_lt for remote binders. So, in general, this function should be preferred.

Available since API level 31.

Details

Parameters

`lhs`	comparison object
`rhs`	comparison object

Returns

whether "lhs < rhs" is true

AIBinder_new

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

AIBinder * AIBinder_new(
  const AIBinder_Class *clazz,
  void *args
)

Creates a new binder object of the appropriate class.

Ownership of args is passed to this object. The lifecycle is implemented with AIBinder_incStrong and AIBinder_decStrong. When the reference count reaches zero, onDestroy is called.

When this is called, the refcount is implicitly 1. So, calling decStrong exactly one time is required to delete this object.

Once an AIBinder object is created using this API, re-creating that AIBinder for the same instance of the same class will break pointer equality for that specific AIBinder object. For instance, if someone erroneously created two AIBinder instances representing the same callback object and passed one to a hypothetical addCallback function and then later another one to a hypothetical removeCallback function, the remote process would have no way to determine that these two objects are actually equal using the AIBinder pointer alone (which they should be able to do). Also see the suggested memory ownership model suggested above.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`clazz`	the type of the object to be created.
`args`	the args to pass to AIBinder_onCreate for that class.

Returns

a binder object representing the newly instantiated object.

AIBinder_ping

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_ping(
  AIBinder *binder
)

Built-in transaction for all binder objects.

This sends a transaction that will immediately return. Usually this is used to make sure that a binder is alive, as a placeholder call, or as a consistency check.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

binder

the binder being queried.

Returns

STATUS_OK if the ping succeeds.

AIBinder_prepareTransaction

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_prepareTransaction(
  AIBinder *binder,
  AParcel **in
)

A transaction is a series of calls to these functions which looks this.

call AIBinder_prepareTransaction
fill out the in parcel with parameters (lifetime of the 'in' variable)
call AIBinder_transact
read results from the out parcel (lifetime of the 'out' variable) Creates a parcel to start filling out for a transaction. This will add a header to the transaction that corresponds to android.os.Parcel::writeInterfaceToken. This may add debugging or other information to the transaction for platform use or to enable other features to work. The contents of this header is a platform implementation detail, and it is required to use libbinder_ndk. This parcel is to be sent via AIBinder_transact and it represents the input data to the transaction. It is recommended to check if the object is local and call directly into its user data before calling this as the parceling and unparceling cost can be avoided. This AIBinder must be either built with a class or associated with a class before using this API.

This does not affect the ownership of binder. When this function succeeds, the in parcel's ownership is passed to the caller. At this point, the parcel can be filled out and passed to AIBinder_transact. Alternatively, if there is an error while filling out the parcel, it can be deleted with AParcel_delete.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the binder object to start a transaction on.
`in`	out parameter for input data to the transaction.

Returns

STATUS_OK on success. This will return STATUS_INVALID_OPERATION if the binder has not yet been associated with a class (see AIBinder_new and AIBinder_associateClass).

AIBinder_setExtension

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_setExtension(
  AIBinder *binder,
  AIBinder *ext
)

Gets the extension of a binder interface.

This allows a downstream developer to add an extension to an interface without modifying its interface file. This should be called immediately when the object is created before it is passed to another thread. No thread safety is required.

For instance, imagine if we have this interface: interface IFoo { void doFoo(); }

A). Historical option that has proven to be BAD! Only the original author of an interface should change an interface. If someone downstream wants additional functionality, they should not ever change the interface or use this method.

BAD TO DO: interface IFoo { BAD TO DO BAD TO DO: void doFoo(); BAD TO DO BAD TO DO: + void doBar(); // adding a method BAD TO DO BAD TO DO: } BAD TO DO

B). Option that this method enables. Leave the original interface unchanged (do not change IFoo!). Instead, create a new interface in a downstream package:

package com.; // new functionality in a new package
interface IBar { void doBar(); }

When registering the interface, add: std::shared_ptr foo = new MyFoo; // class in AOSP codebase std::shared_ptr bar = new MyBar; // custom extension class SpAIBinder binder = foo->asBinder(); // target binder to extend ... = AIBinder_setExtension(binder.get(), bar->asBinder().get()); ... = AServiceManager_addService(binder.get(), instanceName); // handle error

Do not use foo->asBinder().get() as the target binder argument to AIBinder_setExtensions because asBinder it creates a new binder object that will be destroyed after the function is called. The same binder object must be used for AIBinder_setExtension and AServiceManager_addService to register the service with an extension.

Then, clients of IFoo can get this extension: SpAIBinder binder = ...; std::shared_ptr foo = IFoo::fromBinder(binder); // handle if null SpAIBinder barBinder; ... = AIBinder_getExtension(barBinder.get()); // handle error std::shared_ptr bar = IBar::fromBinder(barBinder); // type is checked with AIBinder_associateClass // if bar is null, then there is no extension or a different // type of extension

Available since API level 30.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the object to get the extension on. Must be local.
`ext`	the extension to set (binder will hold a strong reference to this)

Returns

OK on success, STATUS_INVALID_OPERATION if binder is not local, STATUS_UNEXPECTED_NULL if either binder is null.

AIBinder_toJavaBinder

Declared in android/binder_ibinder_jni.h

jobject AIBinder_toJavaBinder(
  JNIEnv *env,
  AIBinder *binder
)

Converts an AIBinder* object into an android.os.IBinder object.

If the binder is null, null is returned. If this binder object was originally an IBinder object, the original java object will be returned.

WARNING: this function returns global and local references. This can be figured out using GetObjectRefType. Though, when this function is called from within a Java context, the local ref will automatically be cleaned up. If this is called outside of a Java frame, PushObjectFrame/PopObjectFrame can simulate this automatic cleanup.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`env`	Java environment. Must not be null.
`binder`	the object to convert.

Returns

an android.os.IBinder object or null if the parameters were null.

AIBinder_transact

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_transact(
  AIBinder *binder,
  transaction_code_t code,
  AParcel **in,
  AParcel **out,
  binder_flags_t flags
)

Transact using a parcel created from AIBinder_prepareTransaction.

This actually communicates with the object representing this binder object. This also passes out a parcel to be used for the return transaction. This takes ownership of the in parcel and automatically deletes it after it is sent to the remote process. The output parcel is the result of the transaction. If the transaction has FLAG_ONEWAY, the out parcel will be empty. Otherwise, this will block until the remote process has processed the transaction, and the out parcel will contain the output data from transaction.

This does not affect the ownership of binder. The out parcel's ownership is passed to the caller and must be released with AParcel_delete when finished reading.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the binder object to transact on.
`code`	the implementation-specific code representing which transaction should be taken.
`in`	the implementation-specific input data to this transaction.
`out`	the implementation-specific output data to this transaction.
`flags`	possible flags to alter the way in which the transaction is conducted or 0.

Returns

the result from the kernel or from the remote process. Usually, implementation-specific error codes are written to the output parcel, and the transaction code is reserved for kernel errors or error codes that have been repeated from subsequent transactions.

AIBinder_unlinkToDeath

Declared in android/binder_ibinder.h

binder_status_t AIBinder_unlinkToDeath(
  AIBinder *binder,
  AIBinder_DeathRecipient *recipient,
  void *cookie
)

Stops registration for the associated binder dying.

Does not delete the recipient. This function may return a binder transaction failure and in case the death recipient cannot be found, it returns STATUS_NAME_NOT_FOUND.

This only ever needs to be called when the AIBinder_DeathRecipient remains for use with other AIBinder objects. If the death recipient is deleted, all binders will automatically be unlinked. If the binder dies, it will automatically unlink. If the binder is deleted, it will be automatically unlinked.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`binder`	the binder object to remove a previously linked death recipient from.
`recipient`	the callback to remove.
`cookie`	the cookie used to link to death.

If the status is considered to be a low-level status and has no additional information other than a binder_status_t (for instance, if it is created with AStatus_fromStatus), then that status will be returned from this method and nothing will be written to the parcel. If either this happens or if writing the status object itself fails, the return value from this function should be propagated to the client, and AParcel_readStatusHeader shouldn't be called.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`parcel`	the parcel to write to.
`status`	the value to write to the parcel.

Returns

STATUS_OK on successful write.

If length is -1, and string is nullptr, this will write a 'null' string to the parcel.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`parcel`	the parcel to write to.
`string`	the null-terminated string to write to the parcel, at least of size 'length'.
`length`	the length of the string to be written.

length is the length of the array. AParcel_stringArrayElementGetter will be called for all indices in range [0, length) with the arrayData provided here. The string length and buffer returned from this function will be used to fill out the data from the parcel. If length is -1, this will write a 'null' string array to the binder buffer.

Available since API level 29.

Details

Parameters

`parcel`	the parcel to write to.
`arrayData`	some external representation of an array.
`length`	the length of the array to be written.
