二. HelloService接口的定义
前面我们在学习Android系统的硬件抽象层（HAL）时，在在Ubuntu上为Android系统的Application Frameworks层增加硬件访问服务这篇文章中，我们编写了一个硬件服务HelloService，它的服务接口定义在frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/IHelloService.aidl文件中：
package android.os; interface IHelloService { void setVal(int val); int getVal(); }这个服务接口很简单，只有两个函数，分别用来读写硬件寄存器。
注意，这是一个aidl文件，编译后会生成一个IHelloService.java。我们来看一下这个文件的内容隐藏着什么奥秘，可以这么神奇地支持进程间通信。

这里我们可以看到IHelloService.aidl这个文件编译后的真面目，原来就是根据IHelloService接口的定义生成相应的Stub和Proxy类，这个就是我们熟悉的Binder机制的内容了，即实现这个HelloService的Server必须继续于这里的IHelloService.Stub类，而这个HelloService的远程接口就是这里的IHelloService.Stub.Proxy对象获得的IHelloService接口。接下来的内容，我们就可以看到IHelloService.Stub和IHelloService.Stub.Proxy是怎么创建或者使用的。
