...content provider and updating its oom adj This introduces the concept of an "unstable" reference on a content provider. When holding such a reference (and no normal stable ref), the content provider dying will not cause the client process to be killed. This is used in ContentResolver.query(), .openAssetFileDescriptor(), and .openTypedAssetFileDescriptor() to first access the provider with an unstable reference, and if at the point of calling into the provider we find it is dead then acquiring a new stable reference and doing the operation again. Thus if the provider process dies at any point until we get the result back, our own process will not be killed and we can safely retry the operation. Arguably there is still the potential for a race -- if somehow the provider is killed way late by the OOM killer after the query or open has returned -- but this should now be *extremely* unlikely. We also continue to have the issue with the other calls, but these are much less critical, and the same model can't be used there (we wouldn't want to execute two insert operations for example). The implementation of this required some significant changes to the underlying plumbing of content providers, now keeping track of the two different reference counts, and managing them appropriately. To facilitate this, the activity manager now has a formal connection object for a client reference on a content provider, which hands to the application when opening the provider. These changes have allowed a lot of the code to be cleaned up and subtle issues closed. For example, when a process is crashing, we now have a much better idea of the state of content provider clients (olding a stable ref, unstable ref, or waiting for it to launch), so that we can correctly handle each of these. The client side code is also a fair amount cleaner, though in the future there is more than should be done. In particular, the two ProviderClientRecord and ProviderRefCount classes should be combined into one, part of which is exposed to the ContentResolver internal API as a reference on a content provider with methods for updating reference counts and such. Some day we'll do that. Change-Id: I87b10d1b67573ab899e09ca428f1b556fd669c8c
Layoutlib is a custom version of the android View framework designed to run inside Eclipse. The goal of the library is to provide layout rendering in Eclipse that are very very close to their rendering on devices. None of the com.android.* or android.* classes in layoutlib run on devices.
