SystemUI is a persistent process that provides UI for the system but outside
of the system_server process.
-The starting point for most of sysui code is a list of services that extend
-SystemUI that are started up by SystemUIApplication. These services then depend
-on some custom dependency injection provided by Dependency.
-
Inputs directed at sysui (as opposed to general listeners) generally come in
through IStatusBar. Outputs from sysui are through a variety of private APIs to
the android platform all over.
## SystemUIApplication
-When SystemUIApplication starts up, it will start up the services listed in
-config_systemUIServiceComponents or config_systemUIServiceComponentsPerUser.
+When SystemUIApplication starts up, it instantiates a Dagger graph from which
+various pieces of the application are built.
-Each of these services extend SystemUI. SystemUI provides them with a Context
-and gives them callbacks for onConfigurationChanged (this historically was
-the main path for onConfigurationChanged, now also happens through
-ConfigurationController). They also receive a callback for onBootCompleted
-since these objects may be started before the device has finished booting.
+To support customization, SystemUIApplication relies on the AndroidManifest.xml
+having an `android.app.AppComponentFactory` specified. Specifically, it relies
+on an `AppComponentFactory` that subclases `SystemUIAppComponentFactoryBase`.
+Implementations of this abstract base class must override
+`#createSystemUIInitializer(Context)` which returns a `SystemUIInitializer`.
+`SystemUIInitializer` primary job in turn is to intialize and return the Dagger
+root component back to the `SystemUIApplication`.
-Each SystemUI service is expected to be a major part of system ui and the
-goal is to minimize communication between them. So in general they should be
-relatively silo'd.
+Writing a custom `SystemUIAppComponentFactoryBase` and `SystemUIInitializer`,
+should be enough for most implementations to stand up a customized Dagger
+graph, and launch a custom version of SystemUI.
-## Dependencies
+## Dagger / Dependency Injection
-The first SystemUI service that is started should always be Dependency.
-Dependency provides a static method for getting a hold of dependencies that
-have a lifecycle that spans sysui. Dependency has code for how to create all
-dependencies manually added. SystemUIFactory is also capable of
-adding/replacing these dependencies.
+See [dagger.md](docs/dagger.md) and https://dagger.dev/.
-Dependencies are lazily initialized, so if a Dependency is never referenced at
-runtime, it will never be created.
+## CoreStartable
-If an instantiated dependency implements Dumpable it will be included in dumps
-of sysui (and bug reports), allowing it to include current state information.
-This is how \*Controllers dump state to bug reports.
+The starting point for most of SystemUI code is a list of classes that
+implement `CoreStartable` that are started up by SystemUIApplication.
+CoreStartables are like miniature services. They have their `#start` method
+called after being instantiated, and a reference to them is stored inside
+SystemUIApplication. They are in charge of their own behavior beyond this,
+registering and unregistering with the rest of the system as needed.
+
+`CoreStartable` also receives a callback for `#onBootCompleted`
+since these objects may be started before the device has finished booting.
-If an instantiated dependency implements ConfigurationChangeReceiver it will
-receive onConfigurationChange callbacks when the configuration changes.
+`CoreStartable` is an ideal place to add new features and functionality
+that does not belong directly under the umbrella of an existing feature.
+It is better to define a new `CoreStartable` than to stick unrelated
+initialization code together in catch-all methods.
+
+CoreStartables are tied to application startup via Dagger:
+
+```kotlin
+class FeatureStartable
+@Inject
+constructor(
+ /* ... */
+) : CoreStartable {
+ override fun start() {
+ // ...
+ }
+}
+
+@Module
+abstract class FeatureModule {
+ @Binds
+ @IntoMap
+ @ClassKey(FeatureStartable::class)
+ abstract fun bind(impl: FeatureStartable): CoreStartable
+}
+```
+
+Including `FeatureModule` in the Dagger graph such as this will ensure that
+`FeatureStartable` gets constructed and that its `#start` method is called.

+Dagger 2 has been turned on for SystemUI and much of
+[Dependency.java](../src/com/android/systemui/Dependency.java)
+has been converted to use Dagger. Since a lot of SystemUI depends on Dependency,
+stubs have been added to Dependency to proxy any gets through to the instances
+provided by dagger, this will allow migration of SystemUI through a number of CLs.
### How it works in SystemUI
+There are three high level "scopes" of concern in SystemUI. They all represent
+singleton scopes, but serve different purposes.
+
+* `@Singleton` - Instances that are shared everywhere. There isn't a lot of
+ code in this scope. Things like the main thread, and Android Framework
+ provided instances mostly.
+* `@WMShell` - WindowManager related code in the SystemUI process. We don't
+ want this code relying on the rest of SystemUI, and we don't want the rest
+ of SystemUI peeking into its internals, so it runs in its own Subcomponent.
+* `@SysUISingleton` - Most of what would be considered "SystemUI". Most feature
+ work by SystemUI developers goes into this scope. Useful interfaces from
+ WindowManager are made available inside this Subcomponent.
+
+The root dagger graph is created by an instance of `SystemUIInitializer`.
+See [README.md](../README.md) for more details.
For the classes that we're using in Dependency and are switching to dagger, the
equivalent dagger version is using `@Singleton` and therefore only has one instance.
To have the single instance span all of SystemUI and be easily accessible for
other components, there is a single root `@Component` that exists that generates
-these. The component lives in [SystemUIFactory](packages/systemui/src/com/android/systemui/SystemUIFactory.java)
-and is called `SystemUIRootComponent`.
+these. The component lives in
+[ReferenceGlobalRootComponent.java](../src/com/android/systemui/dagger/ReferenceGlobalRootComponent.java).
-```java
+### Adding a new injectable object
-@Singleton
-@Component(modules = {SystemUIFactory.class, DependencyProvider.class, DependencyBinder.class,
- ContextHolder.class})
-public interface SystemUIRootComponent {
- @Singleton
- Dependency.DependencyInjector createDependency();
+First annotate the constructor with `@Inject`. Also annotate it with
+`@SysUISingleton` if only one instance should be created.
+
+```kotlin
+@SysUISingleton
+class FeatureStartable
+@Inject
+constructor(
+/* ... */
+) {
+ // ...
}
```
-The root component is composed of root modules, which in turn provide the global singleton
-dependencies across all of SystemUI.
-
-- `SystemUIFactory` `@Provides` dependencies that need to be overridden by SystemUI
-variants (like other form factors e.g. Car).
-
-- `DependencyBinder` creates the mapping from interfaces to implementation classes.
+If you have an interface class and an implementation class, Dagger needs to
+know how to map it. The simplest way to do this is to add an `@Binds` method
+in a module. The type of the return value tells dagger which dependency it's
+providing:
-- `DependencyProvider` provides or binds any remaining depedencies required.
-
-### Adding injection to a new SystemUI object
-
-SystemUI object are made injectable by adding an entry in `SystemUIBinder`. SystemUIApplication uses
-information in that file to locate and construct an instance of the requested SystemUI class.
-
-### Adding a new injectable object
-
-First tag the constructor with `@Inject`. Also tag it with `@Singleton` if only one
-instance should be created.
-
-```java
-@Singleton
-public class SomethingController {
- @Inject
- public SomethingController(Context context,
- @Named(MAIN_HANDLER_NAME) Handler mainHandler) {
- // context and mainHandler will be automatically populated.
- }
+```kotlin
+@Module
+abstract class FeatureModule {
+ @Binds
+ abstract fun bindsFeature(impl: FeatureImpl): Feature
}
```
-If you have an interface class and an implementation class, dagger needs to know
-how to map it. The simplest way to do this is to add an `@Provides` method to
-DependencyProvider. The type of the return value tells dagger which dependency it's providing.
-
-```java
-public class DependencyProvider {
- //...
- @Singleton
- @Provides
- public SomethingController provideSomethingController(Context context,
- @Named(MAIN_HANDLER_NAME) Handler mainHandler) {
- return new SomethingControllerImpl(context, mainHandler);
- }
+If you have a class that you want to make injectable that has can not
+be easily constructed by Dagger, write a `@Provides` method for it:
+
+```kotlin
+@Module
+abstract class FeatureModule {
+ @Module
+ companion object {
+ @Provides
+ fun providesFeature(ctx: Context): Feature {
+ return FeatureImpl.constructFromContext(ctx)
+ }
+ }
}
```
-If you need to access this from Dependency#get, then add an adapter to Dependency
-that maps to the instance provided by Dagger. The changes should be similar
-to the following diff.
+### Module Organization
-```java
-public class Dependency {
- //...
- @Inject Lazy<SomethingController> mSomethingController;
- //...
- public void start() {
- //...
- mProviders.put(SomethingController.class, mSomethingController::get);
- }
-}
-```
+Please define your modules on _at least_ per-package level. If the scope of a
+package grows to encompass a great number of features, create per-feature
+modules.
+
+**Do not create catch-all modules.** Those quickly grow unwieldy and
+unmaintainable. Any that exist today should be refactored into obsolescence.
+
+You can then include your module in one of three places:
+
+1) Within another module that depends on it. Ideally, this creates a clean
+ dependency graph between features and utilities.
+2) For features that should exist in all versions of SystemUI (AOSP and
+ any variants), include the module in
+ [SystemUIModule.java](../src/com/android/systemui/dagger/SystemUIModule.java).
+3) For features that should exist only in AOSP, include the module in
+ [ReferenceSystemUIModule.java](../src/com/android/systemui/dagger/ReferenceSystemUIModule.java).
+ Similarly, if you are working on a custom version of SystemUI and have code
+ specific to your version, include it in a module specific to your version.
### Using injection with Fragments
Fragments are created as part of the FragmentManager, so they need to be
setup so the manager knows how to create them. To do that, add a method
to com.android.systemui.fragments.FragmentService$FragmentCreator that
-returns your fragment class. Thats all thats required, once the method
+returns your fragment class. That is all that is required, once the method
exists, FragmentService will automatically pick it up and use injection
whenever your fragment needs to be created.

-### Using injection with Views
-
-DO NOT ADD NEW VIEW INJECTION. VIEW INJECTION IS BEING ACTIVELY DEPRECATED.
-
-Needing to inject objects into your View's constructor generally implies you
-are doing more work in your presentation layer than is advisable.
-Instead, create an injected controller for you view, inject into the
-controller, and then attach the view to the controller after inflation.
-
-View injection generally causes headaches while testing, as inflating a view
-(which may in turn inflate other views) implicitly causes a Dagger graph to
-be stood up, which may or may not contain the appropriately
-faked/mocked/stubbed objects. It is a hard to control process.
