Upgrading from health@1.0 HAL 0. Remove android.hardware.health@1.0* from PRODUCT_PACKAGES in device///device.mk 1. If the device does not have a vendor-specific libhealthd AND does not implement storage-related APIs, just do the following: PRODUCT_PACKAGES += android.hardware.health@2.0-service Otherwise, continue to Step 2. 2. Create directory device///health 3. Create device///health/Android.bp (or equivalent device///health/Android.mk) cc_binary { name: "android.hardware.health@2.0-service.", init_rc: ["android.hardware.health@2.0-service..rc"], proprietary: true, relative_install_path: "hw", srcs: [ "HealthService.cpp", ], cflags: [ "-Wall", "-Werror", ], static_libs: [ "android.hardware.health@2.0-impl", "android.hardware.health@1.0-convert", "libhealthservice", "libbatterymonitor", ], shared_libs: [ "libbase", "libcutils", "libhidlbase", "libhidltransport", "libutils", "android.hardware.health@2.0", ], header_libs: ["libhealthd_headers"], overrides: [ "healthd", ], } 3.1 (recommended) To remove healthd from the build, keep "overrides" section. 3.2 To keep healthd in the build, remove "overrides" section. 4. Create device///health/android.hardware.health@2.0-service..rc service vendor.health-hal-2-0 /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.health@2.0-service. class hal user system group system file /dev/kmsg w 5. Create device///health/HealthService.cpp: #include int main() { return health_service_main(); } 6. libhealthd dependency: 6.1 If the device has a vendor-specific libhealthd., add it to static_libs. 6.2 If the device does not have a vendor-specific libhealthd, add the following lines to HealthService.cpp: #include void healthd_board_init(struct healthd_config*) {} int healthd_board_battery_update(struct android::BatteryProperties*) { // return 0 to log periodic polled battery status to kernel log return 0; } 7. Storage related APIs: 7.1 If the device does not implement IHealth.getDiskStats and IHealth.getStorageInfo, add libstoragehealthdefault to static_libs. 7.2 If the device implements one of these two APIs, add and implement the following functions in HealthService.cpp: void get_storage_info(std::vector& info) { // ... } void get_disk_stats(std::vector& stats) { // ... } 8. Update necessary SELinux permissions. For example, # device///sepolicy/vendor/file_contexts /vendor/bin/hw/android\.hardware\.health@2\.0-service. u:object_r:hal_health_default_exec:s0 # device///sepolicy/vendor/hal_health_default.te # Add device specific permissions to hal_health_default domain, especially # if Step 6.1 or Step 7.2 is done. 9. Implementing health HAL in recovery. The health HAL is used for battery status checks during OTA for non-A/B devices. If the health HAL is not implemented in recovery, is_battery_ok() will always return true. 9.1 If the device does not have a vendor-specific libhealthd, nothing needs to be done. A "backup" implementation is provided in android.hardware.health@2.0-impl-default, which is always installed to recovery image by default. 9.2 If the device do have a vendor-specific libhealthd, implement the following module and include it in PRODUCT_PACKAGES (replace with appropriate strings): // Android.bp cc_library_shared { name: "android.hardware.health@2.0-impl-", recovery_available: true, relative_install_path: "hw", static_libs: [ "android.hardware.health@2.0-impl", "libhealthd." // Include the following if Step 7.1, otherwise do Step 7.2 "libhealthstoragedefault", ], srcs: [ "HealthImpl.cpp", ], overrides: [ "android.hardware.health@2.0-impl-default", ], } // HealthImpl.cpp #include #include using android::hardware::health::V2_0::IHealth; using android::hardware::health::V2_0::implementation::Health; extern "C" IHealth* HIDL_FETCH_IHealth(const char* name) { const static std::string providedInstance{"default"}; if (providedInstance != name) return nullptr; return Health::initInstance(&gHealthdConfig).get(); } # device.mk PRODUCT_PACKAGES += android.hardware.health@2.0-impl-
