Android 次期バージョン N は Oracle Java を使わないのか?

技術ネタ満載の YCombinator の運営する「Hacker News」で昨日から話題になっています.

Google confirms next Android version won’t use Oracle’s proprietary Java APIs | Hacker News

このへん素人目にも想像できるのは「著作権料を払いたくない」という理由.

So in order for Google to avoid paying that royalty going forward they need to move to OpenJDK quickly with their next release, with the belief that using Oracle's GPL JDK implementation also gives them a license to the API (which is somehow separately copyrightable? The Federal Circuit is a mess).

ここらの適用範囲などの法律の話は金額のわりに明快でなく庶民には分かりづらい.

実際, 開発中のソースコードではどのようになってきているのか.

Mysterious Android codebase commit | Hacker News

This diff is more explicit about what's going on:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/libcore.git/+/aab9...
Change dependency from libart -> libopenjdkjvm.
There are also diffs adding lambda support, tweaking various classes for compatibility with applications that use reflection to access internal capabilities, and fixing lots OpenJDK compatibility bugs.

確かに, OpenJDK に移行してるようにも見えるが.

In the context of the recent juniper attack where some unauthorized code was committed without anybody noticing for years, it seems like it would be easy to hide a backdoor in such a big commit.
How do you go about checking the integrity of the code when you have so many files?
8902 files were changed, most added, and the commit says it's just importing openJDK files. Is there anybody checking that the source file imported haven't been modified to include some kind of backdoor?

はっきり「OpenJDKに移行を進めている」とは言い切れないのか.

WEBでは見づらいのでアプリで.

Retrofit 2.0-beta で ログを吐かせる

Retrofit

Okhttp 2.6.0+ では HTTPリクエスト/レスポンスのログ出力が可能なのだが,

New Logging Interceptor. The logging-interceptor subproject offers simple request and response logging. It may be configured to log headers and bodies for debugging. It requires this Maven dependency:

HttpLoggingInterceptor logging = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
logging.setLevel(Level.BASIC);
client.networkInterceptors().add(logging);

okhttp/CHANGELOG.md at master · square/okhttp

残念なことに retrofit 2.0.0-beta2 での同梱は 2.5.0 .

<!-- Dependencies -->
<android.version>4.1.1.4</android.version>
<android.platform>16</android.platform>
<okhttp.version>2.5.0</okhttp.version>
<animal.sniffer.version>1.14</animal.sniffer.version>

retrofit/pom.xml at master · square/retrofit

なので logging-interceptor 2.6.0 で.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.squareup.okhttp</groupId>
      <artifactId>okhttp</artifactId>
      <version>${project.version}</version>
    </dependency>

okhttp/okhttp-logging-interceptor at master · square/okhttp

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:logging-interceptor:2.6.0' 

HttpLoggingInterceptor logging = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();  
logging.setLevel(Level.BASIC);
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();  
httpClient.interceptors().add(logging);
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()  
   .baseUrl(API_BASE_URL)
   .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
   .client(httpClient)
   .build();

出力.

stable で対応するのかな.


android-apt で アノテーションを便利に

このプラグインを追加すると、gradle のソースフォルダとして認識される場所に Butter Knife で生成されるコードが格納されます。
そのため、Butter Knife で生成されたクラスも Lint から見えるようになり、Lint が怒らなくなります。やったー。

JakeWharton commented on Sep 26
If you use the android-apt plugin then Android Studio can see the generated code and the method will not show up as unused.

The android-apt plugin assists in working with annotation processors in combination with Android Studio. It has two purposes:
Allow to configure a compile time only annotation processor as a dependency, not including the artifact in the final APK or library
Set up the source paths so that code that is generated from the annotation processor is correctly picked up by Android Studio.

Butter Knife 以外にも使えるのか.

わーい.
