* Switch Looper back to using poll() instead of epoll().Jeff Brown2010-10-071-21/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | Added a couple of micro-optimizations to avoid calling wake() unnecessarily and reduce JNI overhead slightly. Fixed a minor issue where we were not clearing the "next" field of Messages returned by the MessageQueue so the Message would hold on to its successor and potentially prevent the GC from collecting it if the message were leaked somehow.

* Replace epoll() with poll() and rename PollLoop to Looper.Jeff Brown2010-09-141-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of this change, consolidated and cleaned up the Looper API so that there are fewer distinctions between the NDK and non-NDK declarations (no need for two callback types, etc.). Removed the dependence on specific constants from sys/poll.h such as POLLIN. Instead looper.h defines events like LOOPER_EVENT_INPUT for the events that it supports. That should help make any future under-the-hood implementation changes easier. Fixed a couple of compiler warnings along the way. Change-Id: I449a7ec780bf061bdd325452f823673e2b39b6ae
* Add new glue code for writing native apps.Dianne Hackborn2010-07-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This factors out the boiler-plate code from the sample app to a common glue code that can be used for everyone writing this style of app: a dedicated app thread that takes care of waiting for events and processing them. As part of doing this, ALooper has a new facility to allow registration of fds that cause ALooper_pollOnce() to return the fd that has data, allowing the app to drive the loop without callbacks. Hopefully this makes some people feel better. :) Also do some other cleanup of the ALooper API, plus some actual documentation. Change-Id: Ic53bd56bdf627e3ba28a3c093faa06a92be522b8
* Add new native Looper API.Dianne Hackborn2010-07-021-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to avoid exposing the file descriptor of the event queue; instead, you attach an event queue to a looper. This will also should allow native apps to be written without the need for a separate thread, by attaching the event queue to the main thread's looper and scheduling their own messages there.

* Native input dispatch rewrite work in progress.Jeff Brown2010-06-131-261/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old dispatch mechanism has been left in place and continues to be used by default for now. To enable native input dispatch, edit the ENABLE_NATIVE_DISPATCH constant in WindowManagerPolicy. Includes part of the new input event NDK API. Some details TBD. To wire up input dispatch, as the ViewRoot adds a window to the window session it receives an InputChannel object as an output argument. The InputChannel encapsulates the file descriptors for a shared memory region and two pipe end-points. The ViewRoot then provides the InputChannel to the InputQueue. Behind the scenes, InputQueue simply attaches handlers to the native PollLoop object that underlies the MessageQueue. This way MessageQueue doesn't need to know anything about input dispatch per-se, it just exposes (in native code) a PollLoop that other components can use to monitor file descriptor state changes. There can be zero or more targets for any given input event. Each input target is specified by its input channel and some parameters including flags, an X/Y coordinate offset, and the dispatch timeout. An input target can request either synchronous dispatch (for foreground apps) or asynchronous dispatch (fire-and-forget for wallpapers and "outside" targets). Currently, finding the appropriate input targets for an event requires a call back into the WindowManagerServer from native code. In the future this will be refactored to avoid most of these callbacks except as required to handle pending focus transitions. End-to-end event dispatch mostly works! To do: event injection, rate limiting, ANRs, testing, optimization, etc. Change-Id: I8c36b2b9e0a2d27392040ecda0f51b636456de25
* Sketch of Native input for MessageQueue / Looper / ViewRootChristopher Tate2010-05-061-0/+338
MessageQueue now uses a socket for internal signalling, and is prepared to also handle any number of event input pipes, once the plumbing is set up with ViewRoot / Looper to tell it about them as appropriate. Change-Id: If9eda174a6c26887dc51b12b14b390e724e73ab3
