I'm running a remote service and an application in the main process. I have
named my process in the manifest :remote for example. When I launch my
application, it instantiates an app for both processes the main and service
process(:remote). However inside the onCreate for my application,
processName is the same in both cases, com.example.exampleapp, instead of
com.example.exampleapp and com.example.exampleapp:remote. At the very
bottom, I've attached a workaround to know this, but it's at best ugly, if
I get all the running processes and search for mine, then I check the
service pid I can know whether I'm inside the service or not by comparing
to myPid(). There are other hacks as well like checking inside the binder
if calling pid is equal to myPid().
Is there an easier way to know of the remote process? Maybe we could also
get processName fixed?
<service android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false"
android:process=":remote"
android:name=".service.MyService">
///// Code
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.i("test", this.getApplicationInfo().processName);
}
//Nasty workaround.
import android.app.ActivityManager;
import android.app.ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import android.os.Process;
public class ProcessUtil {
private static final String remoteProcess =
"com.example.exampleapp:remote";
public static boolean isRemoteProcess(Context context){
ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
for (RunningAppProcessInfo process : manager.getRunningAppProcesses())
{
if (remoteProcess.equals(process.processName)) {
return Process.myPid() == process.pid;
}
}
return false;
}
}
