Identifying different calls in service manager on a Android Phone?

+1 vote

Suppose I have two apps which are using location service.

Inside the service manager I want to identify these calls separately for these apps, such as I can say that this call is for ProcessX and that call is for ProcessY. How would I do it?

You can put a check on process id, package names etc.

Thanks, Inside the service manager, I am able to see process ids as i wanted. I found 'struct binder_txn' in binder.h inside the framework which has sender_pid field.

There are two connection, ethernet and WiFi. Ethernet has higher priority than wifi, so connectivity service tears down the lower priority connection. The result is in wifi setting UI, the wifi shows "on", but no APs can be shown and mirracast also can not be used, as both wifi and p2p interface are disabled.

Are there some ways to keep both ethernet and wifi connection?

Is it possible to profile all the app processes running on android phone simultaneously. I ran "am profile start " one by one for all the app processes. I found that it just profiles the last process. Is it possible to profile multiple processes simultaneously without editing app code (adding "Debug.startMethodTracing" calls)?

I've been trying to figure out how an android app is installed by browsing AOSP.

The PackageManagerService.java has the gids for the corresponding permissions by parsing the platform.xml file.

PackageInstallerActivity parses and checks for any existing packages and then invokes the InstallAppProgress

I was able to follow the paths where the package is parsed and validated and PackagerManager.installPackage() method is invoked to install the package. I know this makes a native call to the JNI library. The corresponding aidl file is IPackageManager.aidl.

What I want to know is where can I find the Native cpp code related to this aidl mentioned above?
