Notes of GDBus

Conceptions:
– D-BUS is an IPC method. what is IPC ?
– It is common on Linux-like platform
– High level API implemented by dbus-glib, python … so on.
– server – client services

Notice: use GDBus instead of dbus-glib: comparing
　　　→ GDBus: https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/

Then following are some code snippets and configuration examples.
TO-DO:
–  system.conf (push under the etc/dbus-1/system.d/)
– makefile
– implement server and client

Server & Client example:
pre-define:
　Object: g_dbus_connection_register_object
　Interface name
　Service name
Initial:
– g_queue_new
– g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml: method calls, signals
– g_bus_own_name
– GDBusConnection
Flows:
– Response: g_dbus_method_invocation_return_value
– Error handlers

How to test your configuration?
a. add test-dbus.conf under /etc/dbus-1/system.d
　adb shell
　mount -o rw,remount /
　adb push /test-dbus.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d
b. You need two terminals
　terminal i.:
　　adb shell
　　./data/gio_server_test
　terminal ii:
　　adb shell
　　dbus-send –system –print-reply –type=method_call  –dest=org.gtk.GDBus.TestServer /org/gtk/GDBus/TestObject org.gtk.GDBus.TestInterface.HelloWorld string:’HiHi’
