-
-/*
- * Encapsulates an exchange protocol between the emulator, and an Android device
- * that is connected to the host via USB. The communication is established over
- * a TCP port forwarding, enabled by ADB (always use 'adb -d forward ...' variant
- * of this command, so ADB will know to enable port forwarding on the connected
- * device, and not on the emulator's guest system).
- *
- * Exchange protocol contains two channel:
- *
- * - Query channel.
- * - Event channel.
- *
- * Both channels are implemented on top of TCP sockets that are connected to the
- * same port.
- *
- * I QUERY CHANNEL.
- * Query channel is intended to send queries to and receive responses from the
- * connected device. It is implemented on top of iolooper_xxx API (see iolooper.h)
- * because it must work outside of the main event loop. This is required to enable
- * proper initialization of components (such as sensors) that must be set up
- * before emulator enters the main loop.
- *
- * II EVENT CHANNEL.
- * Event channel is intended to listen on events sent from the device, and
- * asynchronously report them back to the client of this API by invoking an event
- * callback that was registered by the client. Event channel is implemented on
- * top of asyncXxx API (see android/async-utils.*). Note that using of asyncXxx
- * API limits the use of event channel to the time after the emulator has entered
- * its main event loop. The only exception is if event channel is connected from
- * android_device_connect_sync API, in which case iolooper_xxx API is used to
- * establish the connection. However, even in this case listening for events will
- * not be available until after the emulator enters its event loop, since event
- * listening always uses asyncXxx API.
- *
- * III. ESTABLISHING CONNECTION.
- * ADB port forwarding requires that the server socket is to be run on the device,
- * while emulator must use a client socket for communication. Thus, it's the
- * emulator that initiates the connection.
- *
- * There are two ways how emulator can initiate the connection:
- *
- * - Synchronous connection.
- * - Asynchronous connection.
- *
- * III.I SYNCHROUNOUS CONNECTION.
- * Synchronous connection is initiated via android_device_connect_sync API, and
- * completes synchronously.
- *
- * This API should be used when connection with the device is required at the time
- * of the call. For instance, when initializing sensor emulation, connection with
- * the device is required to properly set up the emulator before the guest system
- * starts, and before emulator enters its main event loop.
- *
- * III.II ASYNCHRONOUS CONNECTION.
- * Asynchronous connection is initiated via android_device_connect_async API. The
- * main difference with the synchronous connection is that this API will not fail
- * if connection is not immediately available. If connection is not available at
- * the time of the call, the API will schedule a retry (based on a timer), and
- * will continue reprying untill connection becomes available, or until an error
- * occurs that prevent further retries.
- *
- * This API should be used when ... Well, whenever appropriate. For instance,
- * sensor emulation will use this API to restore lost connection with the device.
- *
- * NOTE: Asynchronous connection will complete no sooner than the emulator enters
- * its main loop.
- *
- * IV EXCHANGE PROTOCOL.
- * Obviously, there must be some application running on the device, that implements
- * a socket server listening on the forwarded TCP port, and accepting the clients.
- *
- * IV.I Query vs. event channel.
- * The exchange protocol assumes, that when a channel is connected, it will
- * identify itself by sending a string containing channel type. Only after such
- * identification has been made the channel becomes available for use.
- *
- * IV.II Message format.
- * All data that is transferred in both directions over both channels are zero-
- * terminated strings.
