Remarks
This class provides access to the blob store managed by the system.
Apps can publish and access a data blob using a BlobHandle object which can be created with BlobHandle#createWithSha256(byte[], CharSequence, long, String). This BlobHandle object encapsulates the following pieces of information used for identifying the blobs: <ul> <li> BlobHandle#getSha256Digest()<li> BlobHandle#getLabel()<li> BlobHandle#getExpiryTimeMillis()<li> BlobHandle#getTag()</ul> For two BlobHandle objects to be considered identical, all these pieces of information must be equal.
For contributing a new data blob, an app needs to create a session using BlobStoreManager#createSession(BlobHandle) and then open this session for writing using BlobStoreManager#openSession(long).
The following code snippet shows how to create and open a session for writing:
final long sessionId = blobStoreManager.createSession(blobHandle);
try (BlobStoreManager.Session session = blobStoreManager.openSession(sessionId)) {
try (OutputStream out = new ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream(
session.openWrite(offsetBytes, lengthBytes))) {
writeData(out);
}
}
If all the data could not be written in a single attempt, apps can close this session and re-open it again using the session id obtained via BlobStoreManager#createSession(BlobHandle). Note that the session data is persisted and can be re-opened for completing the data contribution, even across device reboots.
After the data is written to the session, it can be committed using Session#commit(Executor, Consumer). Until the session is committed, data written to the session will not be shared with any app.
<p class="note"> Once a session is committed using Session#commit(Executor, Consumer), any data written as part of this session is sealed and cannot be modified anymore.
Before committing the session, apps can indicate which apps are allowed to access the contributed data using one or more of the following access modes: <ul> <li> Session#allowPackageAccess(String, byte[]) which will allow specific packages to access the blobs. <li> Session#allowSameSignatureAccess() which will allow only apps which are signed with the same certificate as the app which contributed the blob to access it. <li> Session#allowPublicAccess() which will allow any app on the device to access the blob. </ul>
The following code snippet shows how to specify the access mode and commit the session:
try (BlobStoreManager.Session session = blobStoreManager.openSession(sessionId)) {
try (OutputStream out = new ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream(
session.openWrite(offsetBytes, lengthBytes))) {
writeData(out);
}
session.allowSameSignatureAccess();
session.allowPackageAccess(packageName, certificate);
session.commit(executor, callback);
}
Apps that satisfy at least one of the access mode constraints specified by the publisher of the data blob will be able to access it.
A data blob published without specifying any of these access modes will be considered private and only the app that contributed the data blob will be allowed to access it. This is still useful for overall device system health as the System can try to keep one copy of data blob on disk when multiple apps contribute the same data.
<p class="note"> It is strongly recommended that apps use one of Session#allowPackageAccess(String, byte[]) or Session#allowSameSignatureAccess() when they know, ahead of time, the set of apps they would like to share the blobs with. Session#allowPublicAccess() is meant for publicly available data committed from libraries and SDKs.
Once a data blob is committed with Session#commit(Executor, Consumer), it can be accessed using BlobStoreManager#openBlob(BlobHandle), assuming the caller satisfies constraints of any of the access modes associated with that data blob. An app may acquire a lease on a blob with BlobStoreManager#acquireLease(BlobHandle, int) and release the lease with BlobStoreManager#releaseLease(BlobHandle). A blob will not be deleted from the system while there is at least one app leasing it.
The following code snippet shows how to access the data blob:
try (InputStream in = new ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseInputStream(
blobStoreManager.openBlob(blobHandle)) {
useData(in);
}
