- \title Android Service with QAndroidBinder
- \ingroup examples-qtandroidextras
- \example services/servicebinder
- \brief Demonstrates how to run an Android service in a separate process,
- and how to communicate between the service process and the main process
- using QAndroidBinder.
-
- \image androidservices.png
-
- This example demonstrates how to create and run an Android service in
- a separate process and using a separate \c .so lib file, and then exchange
- data between the two processes using \l{QAndroidBinder}.
-
- When clicking the \uicontrol {Send to Service} button, the name entered in the QML
- view, Qt, in this case, is sent to the Android service. Then, the service
- replies back with the message \c {Hello Qt} which is printed in the QML view.
-
- \include examples-run.qdocinc
-
- \section1 Create the Service
-
- To start a service in its own process, extend the \c QtService class for
- your service. Extending \c QtService allows the service to load the necessary
- Qt libraries used for Qt.
-
- Start by creating the Java service class. The following class extends \c QtService
- and acts as your service entry point:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/android/src/org/qtproject/example/qtandroidservice/QtAndroidService.java
- \skipto package
- \printuntil /^\}/
-
- This class can have any logic you want using Java code. However, you don't need
- any logic to communicate with Qt as that will be done using \l{QAndroidBinder}.
-
- \section1 Manage the AndroidManifest.xml File
-
- To use the service, it must be declared in the \c AndroidManifest.xml
- file as follows:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/android/AndroidManifest.xml
- \skipto <service
- \printuntil </service>
-
- The important part of this service declaration is the \c lib_name part.
- It will ensure that the service is run by the service's own lib file:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/android/AndroidManifest.xml
- \skipto android:value="service"
- \printuntil android:value="service"
-
- \section1 Handle the Service Start
-
- Create a sub-project for the service, as follows:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/service.pro
- \printuntil androidbinder.cpp
-
- In \c androidbinder.cpp, implement a class that inherits \l{QAndroidBinder}.
- This is the binder that the main application will use to connect to the service
- by binding to it. \l{QAndroidBinder::onTransact()} uses a \c code integer to
- differentiate between actions. Use a \c switch case or \c if conditions to
- handle all expected actions that the binder could expect:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/androidbinder.cpp
- \skipto onTransact
- \printuntil /^\}/
-
- In the service's \c main(), start the \l{QAndroidBinder} along with
- \l{QAndroidService}:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/service_main.cpp
- \skipto main
- \printuntil /^\}/
-
-
- \section1 Handle the Application Start
-
- In the main application side, a \l{QAndroidServiceConnection} implementation
- is required to bind to the service and exchange data with it. Implement
- the functions \l{QAndroidServiceConnection::onServiceConnected()} and
- \l{QAndroidServiceConnection::onServiceDisconnected()}:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/qtandroidservice.cpp
- \skipto onServiceConnected
- \printuntil }
- \printuntil }
-
- Then, create a function to explicitly send messages to the service:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/qtandroidservice.cpp
- \skipto sendToService
- \printuntil }
-
- Once you have all that ready, it's time to start the service and bind to it
- as follows:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/qtandroidservice.cpp
- \skipto :QtAndroidService
- \printuntil }
-
- The \l{QtAndroid::bindService()} is called using \l{QtAndroid::AutoCreate}
- which starts the service if it's not already running.
-
- \note To receive data explicitly sent from the service (i.e. not just a reply),
- implement \l{QAndroidBinder} in the main application the same way
- it's done on the service. Once you have that, the service could initially
- send a message.
-
- Then, create an instance for the custom \l{QAndroidServiceConnection} class
- and connect it to QML. Add the following in \c main.cpp:
-
- \quotefromfile services/servicebinder/main.cpp
- \skipto QtAndroidService
- \printuntil setContextProperty
-
- Then, add a \l Connections element to watch for the incoming messages from
- the service in \c main.qml:
-
- \quotefromfile services/common/main.qml
- \skipto Connections
- \printuntil /^\ {4}\}/
-
- And set the \c onClicked for the sending button to:
-
- \quotefromfile services/common/main.qml
- \skipto onClicked
- \printline onClicked
-
- \sa {Android Services}, {Qt for Android}, {Qt Android Extras}
