Upgrading from health@1.0 HAL 0. Remove android.hardware.health@1.0* from PRODUCT_PACKAGES in device/<manufacturer>/<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: 1.1 (recommended) To remove healthd from the build, PRODUCT_PACKAGES += android.hardware.health@2.0-service.override DEVICE_FRAMEWORK_MANIFEST_FILE += \ system/libhidl/vintfdata/manifest_healthd_exclude.xml 1.2 To keep healthd in the build, PRODUCT_PACKAGES += android.hardware.health@2.0-service Otherwise, continue to Step 2. 2. Create directory device/<manufacturer>/<device>/health 3. Create device/<manufacturer>/<device>/health/Android.bp (or equivalent device/<manufacturer>/<device>/health/Android.mk) cc_binary { name: "android.hardware.health@2.0-service.<device>", init_rc: ["android.hardware.health@2.0-service.<device>.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"], // Uncomment the following to remove healthd from the build. // overrides: [ // "healthd", // ], } 3.1 (recommended) To remove healthd from the build, keep "overrides" section, and include the following in device.mk: DEVICE_FRAMEWORK_MANIFEST_FILE += \ system/libhidl/vintfdata/manifest_healthd_exclude.xml 3.2 To keep healthd in the build, remove "overrides" section. 4. Create device/<manufacturer>/<device>/health/android.hardware.health@2.0-service.<device>.rc service vendor.health-hal-2-0 /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.health@2.0-service.<device> class hal user system group system file /dev/kmsg w 5. Create device/<manufacturer>/<device>/health/HealthService.cpp: #include <health2/service.h> int main() { return health_service_main(); } 6. libhealthd dependency: 6.1 If the device has a vendor-specific libhealthd.<soc>, 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 <healthd/healthd.h> 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<struct StorageInfo>& info) { // ... } void get_disk_stats(std::vector<struct DiskStats>& stats) { // ... } 8. Update necessary SELinux permissions. For example, # device/<manufacturer>/<device>/sepolicy/vendor/file_contexts /vendor/bin/hw/android\.hardware\.health@2\.0-service.<device> u:object_r:hal_health_default_exec:s0 # device/<manufacturer>/<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.
