1.什么是aidl:aidl是 Android Interface definition language的缩写，一看就明白，它是一种android内部进程通信接口的描述语言，通过它我们可以定义进程间的通信接口
icp:interprocess communication :内部进程通信
2.既然aidl可以定义并实现进程通信，那么我们怎么使用它呢？文档/android-sdk/docs/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html中对步骤作了详细描述：
--1.Create your .aidl file - This file defines an interface (YourInterface.aidl) that defines the methods and fields available to a client.
创建你的aidl文件，我在后面给出了一个例子，它的aidl文件定义如下：写法跟java代码类似，但是这里有一点值得注意的就是它可以引用其它aidl文件中定义的接口，但是不能够引用你的java类文件中定义的接口
package com.cao.android.demos.binder.aidl;
import com.cao.android.demos.binder.aidl.AIDLActivity;
interface AIDLService {
void registerTestCall(AIDLActivity cb);
void invokCallBack();
}
--2.Add the .aidl file to your makefile - (the ADT Plugin for Eclipse manages this for you). Android includes the compiler, called AIDL, in the tools/ directory.
编译你的aidl文件，这个只要是在eclipse中开发，你的adt插件会像资源文件一样把aidl文件编译成java代码生成在gen文件夹下，不用手动去编译：编译生成AIDLService.java如我例子中代码

--3.Implement your interface methods - The AIDL compiler creates an interface in the Java programming language from your AIDL interface. This interface has an inner abstract class named Stub that inherits the interface (and implements a few additional methods necessary for the IPC call). You must create a class that extends YourInterface.Stub and implements the methods you declared in your .aidl file.
实现你定义aidl接口中的内部抽象类Stub,public static abstract class Stub extends android.os.Binder implements com.cao.android.demos.binder.aidl.AIDLService
Stub类继承了Binder，并继承我们在aidl文件中定义的接口，我们需要实现接口方法，下面是我在例子中实现的Stub类：
private final AIDLService.Stub mBinder = new AIDLService.Stub() {
@Override
public void invokCallBack() throws RemoteException {
Log("AIDLService.invokCallBack");
Rect1 rect = new Rect1();
rect.bottom=-1;
rect.left=-1;
rect.right=1;
rect.top=1;
callback.performAction(rect);
}
@Override
public void registerTestCall(AIDLActivity cb) throws RemoteException {
Log("AIDLService.registerTestCall");
callback = cb;
}
};
Stub翻译成中文是存根的意思，注意Stub对象是在被调用端进程，也就是服务端进程,至此，服务端aidl服务端得编码完成了。
--4.Expose your interface to clients - If you're writing a service, you should extend Service and override Service.onBind(Intent) to return an instance of your class that implements your interface.
第四步告诉你怎么在客户端如何调用服务端得aidl描述的接口对象，doc只告诉我们需要实现Service.onBind(Intent)方法，该方法会返回一个IBinder对象到客户端，绑定服务时不是需要一个ServiceConnection对象么，在没有了解aidl用法前一直不知道它是什么作用，其实他就是用来在客户端绑定service时接收service返回的IBinder对象的：
AIDLService mService;
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
Log("connect service");
mService = AIDLService.Stub.asInterface(service);
try {
mService.registerTestCall(mCallback);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
}
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
Log("disconnect service");
mService = null;
}
};
