The major goal of this rewrite is to make it easier to implement
power management policies correctly. According, the new
implementation primarily uses state-based rather than event-based
triggers for applying changes to the current power state.
For example, when an application requests that the proximity
sensor be used to manage the screen state (by way of a wake lock),
the power manager makes note of the fact that the set of
wake locks changed. Then it executes a common update function
that recalculates the entire state, first looking at wake locks,
then considering user activity, and eventually determining whether
the screen should be turned on or off. At this point it may
make a request to a component called the DisplayPowerController
to asynchronously update the display's powe state. Likewise,
DisplayPowerController makes note of the updated power request
and schedules its own update function to figure out what needs
to be changed.
The big benefit of this approach is that it's easy to mutate
multiple properties of the power state simultaneously then
apply their joint effects together all at once. Transitions
between states are detected and resolved by the update in
a consistent manner.
The new power manager service has is implemented as a set of
loosely coupled components. For the most part, information
only flows one way through these components (by issuing a
request to that component) although some components support
sending a message back to indicate when the work has been
completed. For example, the DisplayPowerController posts
a callback runnable asynchronously to tell the PowerManagerService
when the display is ready. An important feature of this
approach is that each component neatly encapsulates its
state and maintains its own invariants. Moreover, we do
not need to worry about deadlocks or awkward mutual exclusion
semantics because most of the requests are asynchronous.
The benefits of this design are especially apparent in
the implementation of the screen on / off and brightness
control animations which are able to take advantage of
framework features like properties, ObjectAnimator
and Choreographer.
The screen on / off animation is now the responsibility
of the power manager (instead of surface flinger). This change
makes it much easier to ensure that the animation is properly
coordinated with other power state changes and eliminates
the cause of race conditions in the older implementation.
The because of the userActivity() function has been changed
so that it never wakes the device from sleep. This change
removes ambiguity around forcing or disabling user activity
for various purposes. To wake the device, use wakeUp().
To put it to sleep, use goToSleep(). Simple.
The power manager service interface and API has been significantly
simplified and consolidated. Also fixed some inconsistencies
related to how the minimum and maximum screen brightness setting
was presented in brightness control widgets and enforced behind
the scenes.
At present the following features are implemented:
- Wake locks.
- User activity.
- Wake up / go to sleep.
- Power state broadcasts.
- Battery stats and event log notifications.
- Dreams.
- Proximity screen off.
- Animated screen on / off transitions.
- Auto-dimming.
- Auto-brightness control for the screen backlight with
different timeouts for ramping up versus ramping down.
- Auto-on when plugged or unplugged.
- Stay on when plugged.
- Device administration maximum user activity timeout.
- Application controlled brightness via window manager.
The following features are not yet implemented:
- Reduced user activity timeout for the key guard.
- Reduced user activity timeout for the phone application.
- Coordinating screen on barriers with the window manager.
- Preventing auto-rotation during power state changes.
- Auto-brightness adjustment setting (feature was disabled
in previous version of the power manager service pending
an improved UI design so leaving it out for now).
- Interpolated brightness control (a proposed new scheme
for more compactly specifying auto-brightness levels
in config.xml).
- Button / keyboard backlight control.
- Change window manager to associated WorkSource with
KEEP_SCREEN_ON_FLAG wake lock instead of talking
directly to the battery stats service.
- Optionally support animating screen brightness when
turning on/off instead of playing electron beam animation
(config_animateScreenLights).

This allows you to, say, make a Context whose configuration
is set to a different density than the actual density of the device.
The main API is Context.createConfigurationContext(). There is
also a new API on ContextThemeWrapper that allows you to apply
an override context before its resources are retrieved, which
addresses some feature requests from developers to be able to
customize the context their app is running in.

This was never a public API, so we don't need to follow
an orderly deprecation. And it breaks a CTS test:
cts/tests/tests/location/src/android/location/cts/LocationManagerTest.java:521: reference to getLastKnownLocation is ambiguous, both method getLastKnownLocation(java.lang.String) in android.location.LocationManager and method getLastKnownLocation(android.location.Criteria) in android.location.LocationManager match
mManager.getLastKnownLocation(null);

Themes: Fused Location, Geofencing, LocationRequest.
API changes
o Fused location is always returned when asking for location by Criteria.
o Fused location is never returned as a LocationProvider object, nor returned
as a provider String. This wouldn't make sense because the current API
design assumes that LocationProvider's have fixed properties (accuracy, power
etc).
o The fused location engine will tune itself based on the criteria passed
by applications.
o Deprecate LocationProvider. Apps should use fused location (via Criteria
class), instead of enumerating through LocationProvider objects. It is
also over-engineered: designed for a world with a plethora of location
providers that never materialized.
o The Criteria class is also over-engineered, with many methods that aren't
currently used, but for now we won't deprecate them since they may have
value in the future. It is now used to tune the fused location engine.
o Deprecate getBestProvider() and getProvider().
o Add getLastKnownLocation(Criteria), so we can return last known
fused locations.
o Apps with only ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION _can_ now use the GPS, but the location
they receive will be fudged to a 1km radius. They can also use NETWORK
and fused locatoins, which are fudged in the same way if necessary.
o Totally deprecate Criteria, in favor of LocationRequest.
Criteria was designed to map QOS to a location provider. What we
really need is to map QOS to _locations_.
The death knell was the conflicting ACCURACY_ constants on
Criteria, with values 1, 2, 3, 1, 2. Yes not a typo.
o Totally deprecate LocationProvider.
o Deprecate test/mock provider support. They require a named provider,
which is a concept we are moving away from. We do not yet have a
replacement, but I think its ok to deprecate since you also
need to have 'allow mock locations' checked in developer settings.
They will continue to work.
o Deprecate event codes associated with provider status. The fused
provider is _always_ available.
o Introduce Geofence data object to provide an easier path fowards
for polygons etc.
Implementation changes
o Fused implementation: incoming (GPS and NLP) location fixes are given
a weight, that exponentially decays with respect to age and accuracy.
The half-life of age is ~60 seconds, and the half-life of accuracy is
~20 meters. The fixes are weighted and combined to output a fused
location.
o Move Fused Location impl into
frameworks/base/packages/FusedLocation
o Refactor Fused Location behind the IProvider AIDL interface. This allow us
to distribute newer versions of Fused Location in a new APK, at run-time.
o Introduce ServiceWatcher.java, to refactor code used for run-time upgrades of
Fused Location, and the NLP.
o Fused Location is by default run in the system server (but can be moved to
any process or pacakge, even at run-time).
o Plumb the Criteria requirements through to the Fused Location provider via
ILocation.sendExtraCommand(). I re-used this interface to avoid modifying the
ILocation interface, which would have broken run-time upgradability of the
NLP.
o Switch the geofence manager to using fused location.
o Clean up 'adb shell dumpsys location' output.
o Introduce config_locationProviderPackageNames and
config_overlay_locationProviderPackageNames to configure the default
and overlay package names for Geocoder, NLP and FLP.
o Lots of misc cleanup.
o Improve location fudging. Apply random vector then quantize.
o Hide internal POJO's from clients of com.android.location.provider.jar
(NLP and FLP). Introduce wrappers ProviderRequestUnbundled and
ProviderPropertiesUnbundled.
o Introduce ProviderProperties to collapse all the provider accuracy/
bearing/altitude/power plumbing (that is deprecated anyway).
o DELETE lots of code: DummyLocationProvider,
o Rename the (internal) LocationProvider to LocationProviderBase.
o Plumb pid, uid and packageName throughout
LocationManagerService#Receiver to support future features.

Preloaded drawables now have a density associated with them, so we
can load the correct drawable if we are using a different density.
Window manager now formally keeps track of the density for each
screen, allowing it to be overridden like you can already do with
size, and relies on this density to drive itself internally and
the configurations it reports.
There are a new set of Bitmap constructors where you provide a
DisplayMetrics so they can be constructed with the correct density.
(This will be for when you can have different windows in the same
app running at different densities.)
ActivityThread now watches for density changes, and pushes them
to the DENSITY_DEVICE and Bitmap global density values for that
process.
A new am command allows you to change the density.
