DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In terminal applications, message prompt boxes often appear to give simple prompts to users. The message prompt boxes are displayed in a limited time, and will disappear automatically after a certain time. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the display of message box of an Android system is taken as an example for explanation.
FIG. 1 is an architecture diagram of an Android system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the Android system architecture may be divided into four layers, including a LINUX kernel layer, a system runtime library layer, an application framework layer, and an application layer. The functions of each layer are as follows.
The LINUX kernel layer provides underlying drivers for various hardware of an ANDROID device, such as display, audio, camera, Bluetooth, WI-FI, power management, etc.
The system runtime library layer includes two parts, one is the system library and the other is the runtime library. Among them, the system library is the support of the application framework and the important link between the application framework layer and the kernel layer of LINUX. Each component in the system library uses the c/c++ library to provide the main feature support, such as the data support provided by the SQLITE, the 3D drawing support provided by the OpenGL|ES library. The runtime library provides some core libraries to allow the developer to write the ANDROID application using Java language.
The application framework layer mainly provides various application programming interfaces (API) that may be used when building applications, and is used by some core applications that come with ANDROID. ANDROID's application framework provides a set of class libraries needed to develop ANDROID applications with a reuse mechanism. The reuse mechanism allows developers to develop applications quickly, and to efficiently use the components of the ANDROID platform or inherit the various application components of the platform for personalized extensions. The application framework layer includes an activity manager, a window manager, a resource manager, an notification manager, a display system, and the like, where the notification manager enables an application program to display custom prompt information in a status bar, which is completed by two classes NotificationManager and Notification.
The application layer includes user-oriented applications, such as applications that come with a mobile phone or applications downloaded by a user.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, mainly in the application framework layer, personalized expansion is realized on the basis of inheriting various application components of the platform, and a new screen interface is added, so that the display of the message box is more flexible.
In the following section, the technical schemes in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Example Embodiment One

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for displaying a message box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include steps of S201 to S204.
At S201, a context object corresponding to an application is acquired when an application is started and a message box object is created; where the context object carries a screen identity of a screen object.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an application layer of a terminal device acquires a context object when an application is started, and creates a message box object, where the context object carries the screen identity information of the screen object.
In an embodiment, when an application is started by a user in other screens connected to the terminal device, the application layer in the terminal device system automatically triggers the creation of the context object and the message box object. The context object provides global functional and environmental support for the application, which runs throughout the life cycle of the application process, and saves the current environment and configuration information of the application. The message box object is used to display a prompt message in the application.
At S202, the context object is transmitted into the message box object.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the application layer of the terminal device transmits the context object into the message box object after acquiring the context object corresponding to the application.
In an embodiment, the message box object acquires the screen object in the context object, and acquires the screen identity in the screen object by means of the screen object. After acquiring the screen identity, the message box object saves the screen identity to a variable name of the message box object, where the variable name is used to represent the screen identity.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of acquiring the screen identity corresponding to the screen object by means of the screen object is as follows: the message box object acquires a screen identity interface by means of the screen object, and acquires the screen identity based on the screen identity interface.
At S203, the message box object is added to a notification management service (NMS) by means of a preset enqueue interface, and the screen identity in the message box object is read by the NMS by means of a set screen interface, the screen interface and the preset enqueue interface being interfaces allowing the NMS to communicate with the message box object, and the screen interface being configured to be called by the NMS to acquire the screen identity from the message box object.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the function of displaying the message box on the terminal device is realized by the terminal device by means of the NMS located in the application framework layer. After the message box object acquires the screen identity in the context object, the application layer of the terminal device will add the message box object to the NMS by means of the preset enqueue interface, and the NMS may acquire the screen identity in the message box object by means of the set screen interface.
In an embodiment, the message box object is added to a sequence to be displayed of the NMS by means of the preset enqueue interface of the NMS, for example, ENQUEUE( ) interface. The sequence to be displayed is used to store all message box objects to be displayed.
In an embodiment of this disclosure, after the message box object is added to the NMS, the process of reading the screen identity in the message box object by the NMS by means of the set interface is: the NMS acquires the screen identity from the variable name of the message box object by means of the set screen interface.
It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication between the NMS and the message box object is completed in the application framework layer. By improving an API interface of the application framework layer and setting a new screen interface, the NMS may acquire the screen identity by means of the newly added interface. Before the NMS acquires the screen identity by means of the newly added interface, the application framework layer of the terminal device will add the message box to the NMS by means of the preset enqueue interface.
At S204, the message box object is displayed on a screen corresponding to the screen identity by means of the NMS.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the NMS acquires the screen identity in the message box object, a display system in the application framework layer of the terminal device will display the message box object on the screen corresponding to the screen identity by means of the NMS.
In an embodiment, the NMS binds the message box object with the screen identity to form an association relationship, and registers the association relationship in the display system. The display system displays the message box object on the screen corresponding to the screen identity based on the registered association relationship.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for displaying a message box is provided, which is applied to a terminal device. In the above method, by adding a screen interface to the communication interface between the message box object and the NMS, a screen identity may be acquired when an application is started, so that the message box object may be displayed on the screen corresponding to the screen identity, and the flexibility of the display of the message box is improved.
It can be understood that example embodiment one involves the application layer and the application framework layer in the system architecture. In the application layer, the creation of the message box object and the acquisition of the screen identity by the message box object are realized; and in the application framework layer, the communication between the message box object and the NMS is realized. In an embodiment, the message box object communicates with the NMS in the application framework layer by means of the newly added screen interface after acquiring the screen identity in the context object, so that the NMS may acquire the screen identity in the message box object, and the display system may display the message box object on the screen corresponding to the screen identity based on the NMS.

Example Embodiment Two

Based on the above example embodiment one, the technical scheme of the above embodiment is described in an embodiment by taking the display of TOAST message box of an Android mobile terminal in computer mode as an example. FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for displaying an exemplary TOAST message box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes steps of S301 to s307.
At S301, a terminal device acquires a context object and creates a TOAST message box object.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, applications are installed on the terminal device. The applications of the terminal device include application programs for realizing various applications, and the application programs are located in an application layer of the Android system architecture. The application layer of the terminal device acquires the context object when an application is started, and creates the TOAST message box object, so that the application program may display a TOAST message based on the TOAST message box object. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a user connects the terminal device to a large screen by means of the designated large screen, so as to start the computer mode of the terminal device. In the computer mode, when an application having a display of a TOAST message box is started by the user on a large screen connected to the terminal device, the application layer of the terminal device will be triggered to acquire the context object and create the TOAST message box object. In the Android system, the context object is a CONTEXT object, which runs throughout the life cycle of the application process, and saves the current environment and configuration information of the Android system and an application, thereby providing global functional and environmental support for the application. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the context object includes the identity of the large screen used by the user, which is the screen identity.
At S302, the terminal device transmits the context object into the TOAST message box object, and the TOAST message box object acquires the screen identity.
The application layer of the terminal device will transmit the context object to the TOAST message box object after acquiring the context object, and a first incoming parameter of the TOAST message box object is the context object. The TOAST message box object will acquire the screen identity based on the context object after receiving the context object transmitted from the application layer of the terminal device.
In an embodiment, there is a screen object acquisition interface in the context object. After acquiring the screen object by means of the screen object acquisition interface, the TOAST message box object further acquires the screen identity by means of the screen identity acquisition interface of the screen object, and saves the screen identity in a variable, for example, MDISPLAYID.
At S303, the terminal device inserts the TOAST message box object into a sequence to be displayed of the NMS.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, in the NMS, there is a sequence to be displayed that stores the TOAST message box object to be displayed. After creating the TOAST message box object, the application layer of the terminal device may need to insert the TOAST message box object into the sequence to be displayed of the NMS to complete the enqueue operation.
It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the NMS is located in the application framework layer in the Android system architecture of the terminal device. The application framework layer provides various APIs for application development, and the application layer communicates with the application framework layer based on an API.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the application layer of the terminal device inserts the TOAST message box object into the sequence to be displayed of the NMS by means of the preset enqueue interface, which is an ENQUEUE( ) interface.
At S304, the terminal device acquires a variable name corresponding to the screen identity by means of the screen interface set by the NMS.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the NMS located in the application framework layer acquires a TOAST message box object with the smallest sequence number in the sequence to be displayed, and acquires the variable name corresponding to the screen identity by means of the set screen interface.
It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the TOAST message box object communicates with the NMS interface by means of an interface file of the Android system, and the interface file name is ITransientNotification.aidl. In the original interface file, there are two interfaces, one is SHOW( ), and the other is HIDE( ). The NMS may call a SHOW( ) method in the interface file to display TOAST, and hide TOAST by means of a HIDE( ) method.
However, in an embodiment of this disclosure, a new screen interface, for example, GETDISPLAYID( ), is added to the interface file of ITransientNotification.aidl, through which the NMS may acquire the variable MDISPLAYID in the TOAST message box object.
At S305, the terminal device acquires the screen identity by means of the variable name acquired by the NMS.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after acquiring the variable name, the NMS of the application framework layer of the terminal device may acquire the screen identity in the TOAST message box object by means of the variable name.
At S306, the terminal device binds the TOAST message box object with the screen identity by means of the NMS and registers the binding relationship in a display system of the terminal device.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the NMS of the application framework layer of the terminal device will bind the TOAST message box object with the screen identity after acquiring the screen identity, and register the binding relationship in the display system of the terminal device for display by the display system. It should be noted that the display system is also located in the application framework layer of the terminal device.
At S307, the terminal device displays the TOAST message box on a screen corresponding to the screen identity by means of the display system.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display system of the application framework layer will display the TOAST message box on the screen corresponding to the screen identity after acquiring the binding relationship between the TOAST message box object and the screen identity.
It should be noted that, the display system will display the TOAST message box object on the screen of the mobile terminal by default if the binding relationship between the TOAST message box object and the screen identity is not acquired by the display system.
As described above, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the process of S301 to S303 are executed in the application layer of the Android system architecture, while the process of S304 to S307 are implemented in the application framework layer of the Android system architecture. It can be understood that, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a screen interface is added to the communication interface between the TOAST message box and the NMS to acquire the screen identity when an application is started, so that the TOAST message box object may be displayed on the screen corresponding to the screen identity, which improves the flexibility of the display of message box and improves the user experience in computer mode.
