Library usage

Start daemon

First of all, you must start the SSProxy daemon before invoking any other methods. If successful, a new serivce "ssproxy_xxx" will be added into system service manager.

SysServiceProxy.getInstance(appContext).startDaemon();

Check if the daemon is available

SysServiceProxy.getInstance(appContext).isDaemonAlive();

Invoke system services via SSProxy

For example, make the device goto sleep:

IBinder powerBinder = SysServiceProxy.getInstance(this).getService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
AppLogger.d(TAG, "power binder: " + powerBinder);
if (powerBinder != null) {
    Object powerService = PowerManagerIA.asInterface(powerBinder);
    AppLogger.d(TAG, "power service: " + powerService);
    if (powerService != null) {
        PowerManagerIA.goToSleep(powerService, SystemClock.uptimeMillis());
    }
}

Stop the daemon

You can stop the daemon when you don't need it anymore.

SysServiceProxy.getInstance(appContext).stopDaemon();
