Android insights

Transcript

1. Android insights
2. WHAT IS ANDROID Android insights Open source mobile operating system Based on Linux Derivates for TVs, Cars and Watches Originally created by Google
3. SOURCE CODE Android insights 12.1 million LoC Apache 2 licensed 1,75M 2,1M 2,8M 3M 2,5M Other (Bash, Makefile) XML C Java C++
4. TIMELINE Android insights Sep 08 Feb 09 Apr 09 Oct 09 Android 1.0 Android 1.1 Android 1.0 Initial release Android 1.1 bug fix release Android 1.5 video recording copy & paste widgets Android 2.0 MS Exchange support new UI multi touch events
5. TIMELINE Android insights May 10 Dec 10 Feb 11 Oct 11 Android 2.2 JIT tethering push notifications Android 2.3 NFC real copy & paste improved GC Android 3.0 new UI HW accelerated rendering multi core support Android 4.0 Wifi direct VPN support merges 2.x and 3.x
6. TIMELINE Android insights Jul 12 Jul 13 Oct 13 Nov 14 Android 4.1 project butter (vsync) new notifications Android 4.3 BLE up to 4k resolution SELinux Android 4.4 ART Chrome based browser low memory optimizations Android 5.0 ART default 64bit support material UI
7. Android insights Open Source Created by Google huge codebase
8. Android vs. Linux
9. KERNEL Android vs. Linux drivers for memory management (pmem + ashmem ➔ ION) wakelocks logger aggressive and fine grained OOM killing
10. USERLAND Android vs. Linux custom libc ➔ Bionic no X11 ➔ skia user ID per app designed for fewer syscalls
11. BOOTING ANDROID Android vs. Linux Boot ROM Boot Loader Kernel Iinit Zygote Iinit Iinit Daemons System Services
12. minor kernel additions major userland changes Android vs. Linux
13. Hardware Abstraction Layer
14. OVERVIEW Hardware Abstraction Layer
15. HOW IT WORKS Hardware Abstraction Layer SDK Interface Service Native Service HAL Kernel Driver App
16. HOW IT WORKS Hardware Abstraction Layer SDK Interface Service Native Service HAL Kernel Driver App DisplayPowerController.java LightsService.java com_android_server_LightsService.cpp device/<path do device>/lights.c /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness
17. most of the OEMs don’t understand it chaos but its getting better PDK attempts to fix this Hardware Abstraction Layer
18. Execution Environment
19. APK Execution Environment Android application package Used for applications and middleware Contains the complete application signed by developer/google
20. STACK VS REGISTER Execution Environment pop 7 pop 20 add push result
21. STACK VS REGISTER Execution Environment add r1, r2, r7
22. ART Execution Environment Android Runtime not a process virtual machine ahead of time compilation llvm based
23. DALVIK Execution Environment
24. ART Execution Environment
25. PERFORMANCE Execution Environment 1,5-3 time faster execution an order of magnitude fast GC and alloc 4 times less GC pauses and heap resizes less fragmented heap
26. APK as packaging format ART replaces Dalvik huge theoretical performance gain with ART ahead of time optimizations Execution Environment
27. Interprocess Communication
28. OVERVIEW Interprocess Communication
29. INTENDS Interprocess Communication highest abstraction loose coupled asynchronous
30. BINDER Interprocess Communication Resides in Linux Kernel Transactional Uses shared memory behind the scenes Used for any IPC on Android Reference and identity aware
31. ASHMEM Interprocess Communication No abstraction bare memory file descriptor based used by the Binder
32. Binder is used nearly everywhere Intents for App development Interprocess Communication
33. Ecosystem
34. OHA Ecosystem open handset alliance 84 members members commit to support Android does it do anything?
35. FORKS Ecosystem AOSP every OEM maintains one for per device (family) chip vendors maintain forks (Codeauroa, TI, Nvidia …) open source project (CM, AOKP, …)
36. CYANOGENMOD Ecosystem biggest after market distribution at least 12 million active installs 220 supported devices single source tree for all devices
37. Thanks :-)
