SdkSandboxManager

public final class SdkSandboxManager
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.app.sdksandbox.SdkSandboxManager


Provides APIs to load SDKs into the SDK sandbox process, and then interact with them.

SDK sandbox is a java process running in a separate uid range. Each app may have its own SDK sandbox process.

The app first needs to declare SDKs it depends on in its manifest using the <uses-sdk-library> tag. Apps may only load SDKs they depend on into the SDK sandbox.

Summary

Public methods

addSdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback

public void addSdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback (Executor callbackExecutor, 
                SdkSandboxManager.SdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback callback)

Adds a callback which gets registered for SDK sandbox lifecycle events, such as SDK sandbox death. If the sandbox has not yet been created when this is called, the request will be stored until a sandbox is created, at which point it is activated for that sandbox. Multiple callbacks can be added to detect death and will not be removed when the sandbox dies.

Parameters
callbackExecutor Executor: the Executor on which to invoke the callback This value cannot be null. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this Executor, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use Context.getMainExecutor(). Otherwise, provide an Executor that dispatches to an appropriate thread.

callback SdkSandboxManager.SdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback: the SdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback which will receive SDK sandbox lifecycle events. This value cannot be null.

addSyncedSharedPreferencesKeys

public void addSyncedSharedPreferencesKeys (Set<String> keys)

Adds keys to set of keys being synced from app's default SharedPreferences to the SDK sandbox.

Synced data will be available for SDKs to read using the SdkSandboxController.getClientSharedPreferences() API.

To stop syncing any key that has been added using this API, use removeSyncedSharedPreferencesKeys(java.util.Set).

The sync breaks if the app restarts and user must call this API again to rebuild the pool of keys for syncing.

Note: This class does not support use across multiple processes.

Parameters
keys Set: set of keys that will be synced to Sandbox. This value cannot be null.

                OutcomeReceiver<SandboxedSdkLoadSdkException> receiver)

Loads SDK in an SDK sandbox java process.

Loads SDK library with sdkName to an SDK sandbox process asynchronously. The caller will be notified through the receiver.

The caller should already declare SDKs it depends on in its manifest using <uses-sdk-library> tag. The caller may only load SDKs it depends on into the SDK sandbox.

When the client application loads the first SDK, a new SDK sandbox process will be created. If a sandbox has already been created for the client application, additional SDKs will be loaded into the same sandbox.

This API may only be called while the caller is running in the foreground. Calls from the background will result in returning LoadSdkException in the receiver.

Parameters
sdkName String: name of the SDK to be loaded. This value cannot be null.

params Bundle: additional parameters to be passed to the SDK in the form of a Bundle as agreed between the client and the SDK. This value cannot be null.

executor Executor: the Executor on which to invoke the receiver. This value cannot be null. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this Executor, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use Context.getMainExecutor(). Otherwise, provide an Executor that dispatches to an appropriate thread.

receiver OutcomeReceiver: This either receives a SandboxedSdk on a successful run, or LoadSdkException. This value cannot be null.

registerAppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface

public void registerAppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface (AppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface appOwnedSdkSandboxInterface)

Registers AppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface for an app process.

Registering an AppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface that has same name as a previously registered interface will result in IllegalStateException.

AppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface#getName() refers to the name of the interface.

Parameters
callback SdkSandboxManager.SdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback: the SdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback which was previously added using SdkSandboxManager#addSdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback(Executor, SdkSandboxProcessDeathCallback) This value cannot be null.

removeSyncedSharedPreferencesKeys

public void removeSyncedSharedPreferencesKeys (Set<String> keys)

Removes keys from set of keys that have been added using addSyncedSharedPreferencesKeys(java.util.Set)

Removed keys will be erased from the SDK sandbox if they have been synced already.

Parameters
keys Set: set of key names that should no longer be synced to Sandbox. This value cannot be null.

This method was deprecated in API level VanillaIceCream.
This method will no longer be supported through SdkSandboxManager. Please consider using androidx.privacysandbox library as an alternative

Sends a request for a surface package to the SDK.

After the client application receives a signal about a successful SDK loading, and has added a SurfaceView to the view hierarchy, it may asynchronously request a SurfacePackage to render a view from the SDK.

When the SurfacePackage is ready, the OutcomeReceiver#onResult callback of the passed receiver will be invoked. This callback will contain a Bundle object, which will contain the key SdkSandboxManager#EXTRA_SURFACE_PACKAGE whose associated value is the requested SurfacePackage.

The passed params must contain the following keys: EXTRA_WIDTH_IN_PIXELS, SdkSandboxManager#EXTRA_HEIGHT_IN_PIXELS, SdkSandboxManager#EXTRA_DISPLAY_ID and SdkSandboxManager#EXTRA_HOST_TOKEN. If any of these keys are missing or invalid, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

This API may only be called while the caller is running in the foreground. Calls from the background will result in returning RequestSurfacePackageException in the receiver.

Parameters
sdkName String: name of the SDK loaded into the SDK sandbox. This value cannot be null.

params Bundle: the parameters which the client application passes to the SDK. This value cannot be null.

callbackExecutor Executor: the Executor on which to invoke the callback This value cannot be null. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this Executor, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use Context.getMainExecutor(). Otherwise, provide an Executor that dispatches to an appropriate thread.

receiver OutcomeReceiver: This either returns a Bundle on success which will contain the key SdkSandboxManager#EXTRA_SURFACE_PACKAGE with a SurfacePackage value, or RequestSurfacePackageException on failure. This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if params does not contain all required keys.

startSdkSandboxActivity

public void startSdkSandboxActivity (Activity fromActivity, 
                IBinder sdkActivityToken)

Starts an Activity in the SDK sandbox.

This function will start a new Activity in the same task of the passed fromActivity and pass it to the SDK that shared the passed sdkActivityToken that identifies a request from that SDK to stat this Activity.

The Activity will not start in the following cases:

  • The App calling this API is in the background.
  • The passed sdkActivityToken does not map to a request for an Activity form the SDK that shared it with the caller app.
  • The SDK that shared the passed sdkActivityToken removed its request for this Activity.
  • The sandbox Activity is already created.

Parameters
fromActivity Activity: the Activity will be used to start the new sandbox Activity by calling Activity#startActivity(Intent) against it. This value cannot be null.

sdkActivityToken IBinder: the identifier that is shared by the SDK which requests the Activity. This value cannot be null.

unloadSdk

public void unloadSdk (String sdkName)

Unloads an SDK that has been previously loaded by the caller.

It is not guaranteed that the memory allocated for this SDK will be freed immediately. All subsequent calls to requestSurfacePackage(java.lang.String, android.os.Bundle, java.util.concurrent.Executor, android.os.OutcomeReceiver) for the given sdkName will fail.

This API may only be called while the caller is running in the foreground. Calls from the background will result in a SecurityException being thrown.

Parameters
sdkName String: name of the SDK to be unloaded. This value cannot be null.

unregisterAppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface

public void unregisterAppOwnedSdkSandboxInterface (String name)

Unregisters AppOwnedSdkSandboxInterfaces for an app process.
