Hello! I hope you can help to answer my question: I am doing some AOSP system development for a university project and I want to to "tag" Intents created within a function of service component with the UID of the remote caller app who bound/called to the service. My straightforward solution was to extend the Intent class with a new private integer which is set with Binder.getCallingUid in the constructors of the Intent. However, I encountered strange behavior:
When calling Binder.getCallingUid in the function of the service, it correctly returns the UID of the caller app. But when using Binder.getCallingUid in the Intent constructor (called in this service function), Binder.getCallingUid returns the UID of the service's app. The stack dump looks like: W/System.err( 668): java.lang.Throwable: stack dump W/System.err( 668): at java.lang.Thread.dumpStack(Thread.java:612) W/System.err( 668): at android.content.Intent.<init>(Intent.java: 2668) W/System.err( 668): at com.test.app.RemoteService $1.sendData(RemoteService.java:46) W/System.err( 668): at com.test.app.IRemoteService $Stub.onTransact(IRemoteService.java:54) W/System.err( 668): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java: 288) W/System.err( 668): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) So, it seems there is no IPC going on when calling the Intent constructor, so I wonder why the return value of Binder.getCallingUid changes between sendData(RemoteService.java:46) and (Intent.java: 2668)?!
