Anonymous Binder:
That is, there is no Binder registered with the ServiceManager.
Binder communication does not absolutely depend on ServiceManager, it is just a domain name resolver. Optional, more convenient.
So you can see that ContextImpl$ApplicationThread and ContentProvider$Transport do not addService to ServiceManager, as long as the client process can obtain the proxy. If the Binder communication has already been established, the proxy can be obtained directly without going through the ServiceManager.
Real-name Binder:
That is, through the Binder subclass of ServiceManager#addService.
The client gets the proxy:
ServiceManagerNative#getService
public IBinder getService(String name) throws RemoteException {
Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain();
data.writeInterfaceToken(IServiceManager.descriptor);
data.writeString(name);
mRemote.transact(GET_SERVICE_TRANSACTION, data, reply, 0);
IBinder binder = reply.readStrongBinder();
reply.recycle();
data.recycle();
return binder;
}
android_os_parcel.cpp#android_os_Parcel_readStrongBinder
static jobject android_os_Parcel_readStrongBinder(JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz, jlong nativePtr)
{
Parcel* parcel = reinterpret_cast<Parcel*>(nativePtr);
if (parcel != NULL) {
return javaObjectForIBinder(env, parcel->readStrongBinder());
}
return NULL;
}
The above javaObjectForIBinder method will turn the native Ibinder object into an Ibinder of the java layer. The IBinder of the native layer should be encapsulated in the so library and cannot be searched in the source code.

if (e != NULL) {
// We need to create a new BpBinder if there isn't currently one, OR we
// are unable to acquire a weak reference on this current one. See comment
// in getWeakProxyForHandle() for more info about this.
IBinder* b = e->binder;
if (b == NULL || !e->refs->attemptIncWeak(this)) {
if (handle == 0) {
// Special case for context manager...
// The context manager is the only object for which we create

// Perform a dummy transaction to ensure the context manager
// is registered before we create the first local reference
// to it (which will occur when creating the BpBinder).
// If a local reference is created for the BpBinder when the
// context manager is not present, the driver will fail to
// provide a reference to the context manager, but the
// driver API does not return status.
//
// Note that this is not race-free if the context manager
// dies while this code runs.
//
// TODO: add a driver API to wait for context manager, or
// stop special casing handle 0 for context manager and add
// a driver API to get a handle to the context manager with
// proper reference counting.
Parcel data;
status_t status = IPCThreadState::self()->transact(
0, IBinder::PING_TRANSACTION, data, NULL, 0);
if (status == DEAD_OBJECT)
return NULL;
}
b = new BpBinder(handle);
e->binder = b;
if (b) e->refs = b->getWeakRefs();
result = b;
} else {
// This little bit of nastyness is to allow us to add a primary
// reference to the remote proxy when this team doesn't have one
// but another team is sending the handle to us.
result.force_set(b);
e->refs->decWeak(this);
}
}
return result;
}
The above method generates a BpBinder based on the handle
It can be seen that the proxy obtained from ServiceManager is a BpBinder, and how to call this BpBinder from the java layer is not reflected in the code of the Binder of the java layer. In the proxy code, mRemote.transact(...) will eventually be called, but the transact method code in the Binder code of the java layer is as follows:
public final boolean transact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply,
int flags) throws RemoteException {
if (false) Log.v("Binder", "Transact: " + code + " to " + this);
if (data != null) {
data.setDataPosition(0);
}
boolean r = onTransact(code, data, reply, flags);
if (reply != null) {
reply.setDataPosition(0);
}
return r;
}
The origin of mRemote in Proxy:
mRemote is a BinderProxy object, and BinderProxy is in Binder.java.
How did mRemote come about, see below:
When passing the IBinder object (for example: mRemote in the Proxy object, that is, the server), the Parcel method will be used to write the IBinder to the Binder driver.
/**
* Write an object into the parcel at the current dataPosition(),
* growing dataCapacity() if needed.
*/
public final void writeStrongBinder(IBinder val) {
nativeWriteStrongBinder(mNativePtr, val);
}
jni is as follows:
static void android_os_Parcel_writeStrongBinder(JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz, jlong nativePtr, jobject object)
{
Parcel* parcel = reinterpret_cast<Parcel*>(nativePtr);
if (parcel != NULL) {
const status_t err = parcel->writeStrongBinder(ibinderForJavaObject(env, object));
if (err != NO_ERROR) {
signalExceptionForError(env, clazz, err);
}
}
}
The native source code is as follows:
status_t Parcel::writeStrongBinder(const sp<IBinder>& val)
{
return flatten_binder(ProcessState::self(), val, this);
}
status_t flatten_binder(const sp<ProcessState>& /*proc*/,
const sp<IBinder>& binder, Parcel* out)
{
flat_binder_object obj;
obj.flags = 0x7f | FLAT_BINDER_FLAG_ACCEPTS_FDS;
if (binder != NULL) {
IBinder *local = binder->localBinder();
if (!local) {
BpBinder *proxy = binder->remoteBinder();
if (proxy == NULL) {
ALOGE("null proxy");
}
const int32_t handle = proxy ? proxy->handle() : 0;
obj.type = BINDER_TYPE_HANDLE;
obj.binder = 0; /* Don't pass uninitialized stack data to a remote process */
obj.handle = handle;
obj.cookie = 0;
} else {
obj.type = BINDER_TYPE_BINDER;
obj.binder = reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(local->getWeakRefs());
obj.cookie = reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(local);
}
} else {
obj.type = BINDER_TYPE_BINDER;
obj.binder = 0;
obj.cookie = 0;
}
return finish_flatten_binder(binder, obj, out);
}
The above method is to flatten IBinder, which is a bit like serialization, that is, to serialize IBinder subclass objects (ie, server-side objects) in a similar way, but it is not completely serialized as it is, and other objects will be created or modified. operate.
Then the client side, to get the server object passed from the server process, needs to pass Parcel#readStrongBinder() to get the IBinder object that can deal with the driver and let the driver know which server to find. The obtained IBinder is mRemote in Proxy, which is a BinderProxy object. See Parcel#readStrongBinder()
/**
* Read an object from the parcel at the current dataPosition().
*/
public final IBinder readStrongBinder() {
return nativeReadStrongBinder(mNativePtr);
}
The jni method is as follows (in parcel.cpp):
static jobject android_os_Parcel_readStrongBinder(JNIEnv* env, jclass clazz, jlong nativePtr)
{
Parcel* parcel = reinterpret_cast<Parcel*>(nativePtr);
if (parcel != NULL) {
return javaObjectForIBinder(env, parcel->readStrongBinder());
}
return NULL;
}
The native method is as follows:
sp<IBinder> Parcel::readStrongBinder() const
{
sp<IBinder> val;
unflatten_binder(ProcessState::self(), *this, &val);
return val;
}
status_t unflatten_binder(const sp<ProcessState>& proc,
const Parcel& in, sp<IBinder>* out)
{
const flat_binder_object* flat = in.readObject(false);
if (flat) {
switch (flat->type) {
case BINDER_TYPE_BINDER:
*out = reinterpret_cast<IBinder*>(flat->cookie);
return finish_unflatten_binder(NULL, *flat, in);
case BINDER_TYPE_HANDLE:
*out = proc->getStrongProxyForHandle(flat->handle);
return finish_unflatten_binder(
static_cast<BpBinder*>(out->get()), *flat, in);
}
}
return BAD_TYPE;
}
look now
javaObjectForIBinder(env, parcel->readStrongBinder())//Change the IBinder object of the native layer into the IBinder object of the java layer
The ibinderForJavaObject method flattens the server-side IBinder and writes it to the Binder driver, and javaObjectForIBinder creates a BinderProxy object based on the flattened server-side IBinder in the Binder driver.
Finally, BinderProxy uses the transact method to interact with the Binder driver, and finally transmits the information to the corresponding server-side Binder, which will call Binder#execTransact()->Binder subclass#onTransact()
Below is BinderProxy#transact
public boolean transact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply, int flags) throws RemoteException {
Binder.checkParcel(this, code, data, "Unreasonably large binder buffer");
return transactNative(code, data, reply, flags);
}

Parcel class
This class is completely different from the Parcelable class. This class is customized for Binder communication. The native layer corresponds to Parcel.cpp. This class can generate BpBinder
For the relationship between ServiceManager and Binder, please see the following excellent blog post, so I won't repeat it.
