Hi,
I m trying a create a new init service to start when the OS boots. I
have created a simple example that writes the time elapsed since it
started to the log. It wakes up every three seconds. The code for
exampleservice.c looks like:
#define LOG_TAG "Example Service"
#include < utils/log.h >
#include < unistd.h >
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
LOGI("Service started");
int elapsed = 0;
while(1)
{
sleep(3);
elapsed += 3;
LOGI("Service elapsed time is %d", elapsed);
}
}
and added the following to the init.rc
service exampleservice /system/bin/exampleservice
user exampleservice
group exampleservice
oneshot
the Android.mk file looks like the following
ifneq ($(TARGET_SIMULATOR),true)
LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= exampleservice.c
LOCAL_MODULE := exampleservice
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := \
$(call include-path-for, system-core)/cutils
include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)
endif # TARGET_SIMULATOR != true
i have added a folder test_gopi in the directory \frameworks\base\cmds
which contains the exampleservice.c & Android.mk file
when i build i get the following error:
frameworks/base/cmds/test_gopi/exampleservice.c:2:26: error: cutils/
log.h : No such file or directory
frameworks/base/cmds/test_gopi/exampleservice.c:3:22: error:
unistd.h : No such file or directory
frameworks/base/cmds/test_gopi/exampleservice.c: In function 'main':
frameworks/base/cmds/test_gopi/exampleservice.c:6: warning: implicit
declaration of function 'LOGI'
frameworks/base/cmds/test_gopi/exampleservice.c:10: warning: implicit
declaration of function 'sleep'
make: *** [out/target/product/devkit8000/obj/EXECUTABLES/
exampleservice_intermediates/exampleservice.o] Error 1
Please help me in solving this issue and guide me how to connect to a
socket from the service when the OS boots....
