Interprocess Communication (IPC) on Android is facilitated in a number of different ways. The binder functions as follows:
- State: RECEIVE blocked. Go to READY when another process sends a message to this process.
- State: READY. Go to RECEIVE blocked if we receive a message, SEND blocked if we send a message, and maintain this state for reply or error.
- State: SEND blocked. Go to REPLY blocked when another process receives our message.
- State: REPLY blocked. Go to READY when another process replies or returns an error.
Android has an object that controls this communication, giving it higher level control than a standard implementation.
