IPC comparison on Android

[JonS]

Hi, 

I am researching IPC mechanisms for Android and I was wondering if there was a great resource that compares all the possible IPC mechanisms.  I am interested in primarily three areas: performance, simplicity (whether it can be accessed from Java and native code) and security.

Here are the ones I've found for Android.

- Binders

- Shared Memory

- Sockets

- Signals (Condition?)

- Named Pipes

- Files

thanks,

J

One of the best resources is the source code. Barring that, I've found these sites pretty useful.

LWN has a good article on linux IPC mechanisms, including android's binder.

The binder is probably the most distinguishing feature, there's a few
good discussions of the Android Linux kernel extensions on the net you
can read as well...
