Detailed Description

Remote Desktop Module provides means by which the admin capture the device screen content.

It provides the following features for EDM client

Access to screen content through shared memory from Surface Flinger.

(Note: Surface Flinger is android's composition engine that composes the

UI content and updates to the display

or Access to screen content through Read-only access to the framebuffer device.

Screen Changed Notifications

( This prevents the EDM client from having to poll the screen content continuously

to check for changes. The notifications shall be received for both approaches fb0

and surface flinger.)

Dirty Region feedback after capture

The decision to use framebuffer device (fb0) or Surface Flinger mechanism is made based on the

following aspects

Availability of the approach

(Eg: - Only Surface Flinger approach works in some devices as the frame buffer

device is not accessible/available),

Frame rate yielded by individual approach and

Accuracy of the screen content

(Eg: - FB0 misses some overlay content. Lets say, Wallpaper is present in one

layer, Status Bar present in one layer, remaining UIs present in another layer).

Note: This decision is done for every device at build time.

The EDM client can register a listener to receive notifications when the screen changes.

On occurrence of screen change, the Remote Desktop module sends a screenChanged callback and

waits for the capture request from the client.

(Note: Subsequent screen changes are detected, but they are not notified to the client until

the capture request for the outstanding callback is received.)

In case of Remote Desktop session

1) If Remote Desktop Session is started at owner space

a) It can capture owner space screens

b) It can capture Android guest user's screens

2) If Remote Desktop Session is started at Android guest user

a) It can't capture owner space screens

b) It can capture its own user space screens

Events injected by Remote Injection are not injected into user space where Remote Desktop

is disabled.

virtual bool knoxremotedesktop::IRemoteDesktop::captureScreen ( DirtyRegion & region ) [pure virtual]

API to capture the screen.

Admin can use this API to capture the screen. Remote Desktop

module returns the changed region or dirty region in response

to this request. (This API updates the screen contents to shared memory

if fdType == FD_SHARED_MEM.)

[NOTE] It is recommended to follow the following sequence:

Step 1 : Call IRemoteDesktop::getInstance() to get an instance of IRemoteDesktop

Step 2 : Call IRemoteDesktop::setScreenInfo (prefW, prefH, prefFormat) to set the desired screen width,height and pixel format

Step 3 : Call IRemoteDesktop::init()

Step 4 : Call IRemoteDesktop::getFrameBufInfo() to get file descriptor and type of it

Step 5 : Call mmap() to map file descriptor to memory

Step 6 : Set screen update listener

Step 7 : Call IRemoteDesktop::captureScreen() to get dirty regions after screenChanged() callback is called

Example client call:

 class RemoteDesktopListener : public IRemoteDesktopListener {

 	 RemoteDesktopListener() {}

 	 virtual void screenChanged() {

 		 LOGI("RemoteDesktopListener :: screenChanged()");

		   	 // Capture Screen Request code

			 DirtyRegion dirtyRegion;

			 bool err = remoteDesktop->captureScreen(dirtyRegion);

			 if(err == false)  {

				 // failure code

			} else {

				 // success code

	 ....

	 IRemoteDesktop *remoteDesktop = RemoteDesktop::getInstance();

	 int w = 360, h = 640, format = PF_RGBA_8888;

	 int	  mFD;

	 FDType   mFDType;

	 bool ret;

	 ret = remoteDesktop->setScreenInfo(w,h,format);

	 if(ret == false){

		 // failure code

	 ret = remoteDesktop->init();

	 if(ret == false){

		 // failure code

	 ret = remoteDesktop->getFrameBufInfo(&mFD, &mFDType);

	 if(ret == false){

		 // failure code

	 if (mFDType == FD_DEV_FB0) {

		 struct fb_var_screeninfo vinfo;

		 if(ioctl(mFD, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, &vinfo) < 0) return false;

		 int offset = vinfo.xoffset * mBytesPerPixel + vinfo.xres * vinfo.yoffset * mBytesPerPixel;

		 mFrame = (unsigned short *) mmap(0, mFrameBufferSize, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, mFD, offset);

	 } else if (mFDType == FD_SHARED_MEM) {

		 mFrame = (unsigned short *) mmap(0, mFrameBufferSize, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, mFD, 0);

	 } else {

		 LOGE("mapFrameBuffer Failed");

		 return false;

	 IRemoteDesktopListener *remoteDesktoplistener = new RemoteDesktopListener();

	 remoteDesktop->setListener(remoteDesktoplistener);

Permission:: The use of this API requires the caller to have the

"com.samsung.android.knox.permission.KNOX_REMOTE_CONTROL" permission which has a protection level

of signature.

Parameters:

region Dirty Region Information

Returns:: true if captured successfully, else false.

		int *	hwheight,
		int *	hwbytesPerPixel
	)		`[pure virtual]`

API to get the default Dex screen information.

Admin can use this API to get the default hardware screen dimensions and pixel byte size of Dex sreen. This new API is introduced for devices that support samsung Dex mode.

Example client call:

  IRemoteDesktop *remoteDesktop = RemoteDesktop::getInstance();
  bool ret = remoteDesktop->init();
  if(ret == false)  {
     // failure code
  } else {
     // success code	 
  // Dex state change callback received
     int	hwwidth, hwheight, hwbytesPerPixel;	
     int res = remotedesktop->getDefaultDexScreenInfo(&hwwidth, &hwheight, &hwbytesPerPixel);
  }

Permission:: The use of this API requires the caller to have the "com.samsung.android.knox.permission.KNOX_ADVANCED_RESTRICTION" permission which has a protection level of signature.

Parameters:

hwwidth	Hardware Screen Width of Dex screen.
hwheight	Hardware Screen Height of Dex screen.
hwbytesPerPixel	Hardware Pixel Size in Bytes of Dex screen.

Returns:: Integer value -1 when user does not have permission to call this API.; Integer value 0 If successfully able to fetch the given parameters.; Integer value 1 when Dex is not connected to device.; Integer value 2 Due to some unknown error.

	)		`[pure virtual]`

API to get the default screen information.

Admin can use this API to get the default hardware screen dimensions, pixel formats and

pixel byte size. This new API is introduced as getScreenInfo need not return the default screen

information as it returns the selected framebuffer information based on the preferences

set by the admin

Example client call:

  IRemoteDesktop *remoteDesktop = RemoteDesktop::getInstance();

  bool ret = remoteDesktop->init();

  if(ret == false)  {

     // failure code

  } else {

     // success code

  bool ret = remoteDesktop->init();
  if(ret == false)  {
     // failure code
  } else {
     // success code

     int w = 640, h = 360;
     bool ret = remoteDesktop->setDexScreenInfo(w,h);
     remoteDesktop->getDexBufInfo(&mFDdex);
     if(mFDdex == -1)  {
         // failure code

	)		`[pure virtual]`

API to get Frame Buffer's Resolution/PixelFormat information.

Admin can use this API to get the framebuffer dimensions, pixel formats and

pixel byte size.

Note: PixelFormat returned by this API is not reliable. It will not give accurate information

on the exact position details of each pixel. Also for FB0 FDType, the pixel format may also be returned

as PF_UNKNOWN. It is recommended that client always rely on the API getScreenPixelFormatInfo().

virtual bool knoxremotedesktop::IRemoteDesktop::setDexScreenInfo	(	int	prefW,
		int	prefH
	)		`[pure virtual]`

API to set Dex screen framebuffer's width and height by the admin.

Admin can use this API to set the preference for the remote capture of Dex screen dimensions considering the different factors like network bandwidth usage and performance. This may or may not be honoured based on the platform support. This API creates a separate frame buffer for Dex screen capture.

Example client call:

  int w = 640, h = 360;
  IRemoteDesktop *remoteDesktop = RemoteDesktop::getInstance();
  bool ret = remoteDesktop->init();
  // Dex state change callback received
