Jollen 的 Android 系統管理雜記, #4: C 如何取得 property

上一則日記提到 Android property 的設定。在 Android 作業系統裡,取得 property 是很重要的工作。不管是 Android 框架層(使用 Java 語言),或是 Native 層(使用 C/C++ 語言),都可以看到讀取 property 的程式碼。

以下是一段簡單的範例程式,用以說明如何用 C 來讀取 Android 系統的 property:

上述範例,是由 libhardware 的程式碼修改而成。HAL (即 libhardware) 會讀取以下四個 property:

  • ro.hardware
  • ro.product.board
  • ro.board.platform
  • ro.arch

習慣上,我們會以 "ro.product.board" 做為 HAL 模組的 "product name",ro.product.board 決定 HAL 模組的命名方式。例如,當 ro.product.board 為 "mokoid" 時,我們就必須將 HAL 模組命名為 *.mokoid.so,並存放於 system/lib/hw 目錄下。
