create android system service in rust

[tekjar]

Hi @tomaka. Is it possible to create an android system service which can get requests from other apps/services on binder using this crate?

I had to google "android system service" in order to know what you were talking about.

I don't think it's possible without big changes in this crate's code however.

Android Service heavily relies on the Android framework, which has Java API only, which means you cannot have this written in Rust only and need to have a huge lot of Java boilerplate code around.

@tomaka thanks. will try to figure out a way (:

@snuk182 In my case, I can build my own rom. I was wondering if I could use native libbinder.so or Ibinder c++ intrerface.
