Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method and a device for running an application by electronic equipment and the electronic equipment.
Background
Electronic devices with operating systems, such as personal computers, mobile terminals, etc., are playing an increasingly important role in everyday life. An important function of an electronic device is to run various applications, which refer to software or programs that can be run in some kind of operating system. At present, users of electronic devices need more and more applications, and the storage space of the electronic devices is limited, so that the applications needed by many users do not have enough storage space to be installed.
At present, the applications of mainstream operating systems, such as Windows, Mac, IOS, Linux, and operating systems derived on the basis of Linux, such as Android, are installed through an installation package. After the installation package is operated, a large number of files are generated, the files are located under one or more top-level father directories to form a certain directory hierarchical relationship, and the position of the top-level father directory and the structure of the subdirectories under the top-level father directory are determined by the operating system and the installation package together. Files generated after the installation package operates are executable files (sometimes called executable programs), the executable files can operate in an operating system, and processes corresponding to the executable files are generated in the operating system during operation; another type of file cannot run in the operating system by itself, and the function of the file is to be called by the executable file in the running process, and the files are collectively called as resource files. The directory hierarchical relationship formed after the installation package is operated can determine the specific path of any resource file, and convenience is provided for calling the resource file by the executable file. The application runs normally, and both the executable file and the resource file are indispensable.
Analyzing the sizes of the executable file and the resource file, the result shows that the executable file applied in the current mainstream operating system is small, and generally dozens of MB at most; the applied resource files may be very large, and some applied resource files may accumulate up to several hundred GB. A natural idea is that an application first installs an executable file and a few resource files that are necessary when the executable file is started, and then downloads the resource files gradually during the running process of the executable file. However, the current mainstream operating systems do not directly support the above idea, and it is possible to modify the kernel of the operating system, but the kernel work for modifying the operating system is huge. How to simply realize the above idea has not been reported yet.
The disclosure in the "background" section of the specification is helpful to those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of the present invention, but should not be construed as necessarily belonging to the prior art or common general knowledge.

Detailed Description
The following describes embodiments of the present invention in further detail. It should be noted, however, that the scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific disclosure described. Any technical solution obtained by performing the same or equivalent replacement on technical elements in the described specific technical solution or technical solution obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work on the basis of the described specific technical solution should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Many developers of applications set up an identification file, which is a separate file, and identification data, which is data for identification and recorded in a file or a database. The common use of the identification file or identification data identifies, on the one hand, the storage directory of the resource file and, on the other hand, the integrity of the resource file. The completeness or completeness not only means that all resource files are stored in the resource file storage directory, but also means that the resource files stored in the resource file storage directory are all of the latest version. The application developer upgrades the application, may add or delete the resource file, may also update the version of the resource file, and the name, size, version number, check value, etc. of the resource file may all be recorded in the identification file or identification data.
On the basis of the above-mentioned technology, a method for running an application by an electronic device can be realized. A more complete flow of the method for running an application by an electronic device is shown in fig. 1. The method for running the application by the electronic equipment comprises the following core steps:
s102: the identification file and/or identification data of the application is modified so that the executable file identifies the specified directory as the directory storing the complete resource file.
Since the executable file identifies the directory in which the resource file is stored and the integrity of the resource file by the identification file and/or the identification data, modifies the identification file and/or the identification data of the application (and/or indicates that only one or both of the identification file and the identification data may need to be modified), the executable file can identify the designated directory instead of the directory preset by the application as the directory for storing the resource file and consider the resource file as complete, even if the resource file is not complete in reality, the executable file can be started in advance, and certainly, at least the resource file necessary for starting the executable file is stored in the designated directory. Note that the resource file necessary for starting the executable file stored in the designated directory should be the resource file of the latest version, so as to avoid triggering update downloading due to the fact that the resource file is not the latest version after the executable file calls the resource file. The update download inevitably wastes time, affecting the user experience of the electronic device.
The different applications in different operating systems, the setting of the identification file and the identification data are greatly different, and the identification file can be obtained through a reverse executable file or directly requested to an application developer.
After step S102 is completed, corresponding subsequent steps are required, and the subsequent steps include:
s103: and downloading the resource file to the specified directory after the executable file is started.
After step S102 is completed, the executable file can be started, but the resource file stored in the designated directory is often incomplete, so that the resource file needs to be downloaded to the designated directory while the executable file runs, and the running of the executable file is affected if the resource file is not downloaded in time. Resource files are often stored on dedicated devices, such as dedicated storage servers. The resource files on the special equipment should be updated in time, the resource files of the latest version are stored, and the situation that the executable files trigger updating and downloading after calling the resource files is avoided.
In special cases, a pre-step is also required, which comprises:
s101: if the integrity of the resource file is strictly checked when the executable file is started, the strict checking mechanism of the executable file is removed.
Some executables will strictly check the integrity of the resource file at startup. The strict check refers to checking not only the identification file and the identification data, but also whether the resource file is actually stored in the relevant directory. If the integrity of the resource file is strictly checked when the executable file is started, the technical scheme of the invention cannot be implemented, so that a strict checking mechanism of the executable file needs to be removed. The removal can be realized by modifying the source code of the executable file or performing reverse operations such as disassembling and decompiling on the executable file to modify the code obtained by the reverse operations, and in addition, the setting of the operating system can be modified or corresponding tools can be used for different operating systems.
The method for running the application by the electronic device is further described below by a specific operating system. The operating system of the electronic device is the open source Android (Android) system. A platform application is developed in the android system, the function of the platform application is to provide a platform for a user to select the application, and the user can select which application to start on the platform application.
Identification files and identification data are often set in the "/data/data/application package name" directory for android system applications. The storage directory for identifying the resource file usually adopts identification data, the common format of the identification data is that a certain field starts, characters after the field comprise directory names, and the directory names comprise initial root directories or top-level father directories for storing the resource file. The initial root directory refers to a root directory where resource files of an application are located if the application is installed in a conventional running installation package, the initial root directory is generally determined by an operating system and the installation package together, and some operating systems also allow a user to select the initial root directory. The top parent directory is the top parent directory formed after the installation package mentioned in the background art runs. The identification data may be recorded in a file or in an associated database. The integrity of the resource file is usually identified by using an identification file, which includes the name of the resource file and possibly one or more of the version number, check value, file size, etc. of the resource file. Generally, for the sake of easy calling, the resource files are all stored in the same top parent directory, and the identification file is also stored in the top parent directory, and the identification file includes the names of all resource files that the executable file needs to call. However, there may be some special cases that the resource files are stored in different top parent directories, different identification files are set in different top parent directories, and at this time, the identification files often only include names of all resource files in a certain directory.
For example, a game named yin and yang teacher, which can run on the android system. The developer of the game sets a neox _ config.xml file under the directory of "/data/data/com.netease.endoji.baidu/shared _ prefs" of the android system, and the content of the neox _ config.xml field in the neox _ config.xml file is as follows:
the NeoXRoot field is identification data of Yin Yang Shi. If the platform application modifies the directory in the character following the NeoXRoot field to a directory specified by the platform application, the executable file may consider the resource file to be stored in the specified directory. To check the integrity of the resource file, the developer of yin-yang chemist sets a filelist. Txt file and resource file are stored in the same parent directory, and have fixed format, and each row includes three information of resource file name, check value (the fifth version of message digest algorithm, i.e. MD5 value), and file size. The partial contents of the filelist.
If the platform application also creates a filelist.txt file under the specified directory, the content in the filelist.txt file is consistent with the latest version of the resource file, and the resource file is considered to be complete after the executable file of Yin Yang Shi checks the filelist.txt file.
The platform application may store executable files of each application on the electronic device in advance, establish a designated directory corresponding to the executable files of each application, store resource files necessary when the executable file of the latest version is started in the designated directory, and modify the identification files and identification data of each application accordingly. After a user selects a certain application, the platform application starts an executable file of the application, the executable file firstly checks the identification data after starting, the resource file is found to be stored in the specified directory, then the identification file in the specified directory is checked, the resource file is found to be complete, the executable file starts to run, and the operations of downloading the resource file and the like are not performed any more.
In the application of the android system, the resource files required when the executable file is started can be obtained from the kernel of the android system, and a developer of the platform application can know which files the resource files required when the executable file is started are when the executable file is run in advance. For applications such as games, the total size of the resource file may reach hundreds of MB or even hundreds of GB, but the resource file necessary for the startup of the executable file is often only tens of MB. A small amount of resource files are stored in the electronic equipment, the executable files can be started, and the platform application synchronously downloads the resource files required to be called by the executable files in the running process of the subsequent executable files. As long as the resource file is downloaded when the calling command of the executable file is sent, the normal operation of the executable file cannot be influenced.
Considering that the executable file and the resource file required when the executable file is started are not large, the electronic device may not store any executable file and resource file in advance, and the platform application downloads the executable file of the application and the resource file required when the executable file is started after the user selects a certain application. The file downloading time is short, and the user experience cannot be seriously influenced.
The corresponding program is written in the operating system of the electronic device, the method for running the application by the electronic device can be implemented, and the software including the program can be regarded as a device for running the application by the electronic device. The device for running the application by the electronic equipment is essentially computer software, and is realized by establishing program modules corresponding to all the steps according to the description of all the steps of the method for running the application by the electronic equipment to form a program module framework based on a computer program. The apparatus for running the application by the electronic device is not a physical apparatus mainly implemented by hardware. The device for running the application by the electronic equipment comprises a platform application, wherein the platform application is used for modifying the identification file and/or the identification data of the application so that the executable file can identify the specified directory as the directory storing the complete resource file. The application platform is also used for downloading executable files or resource files from a dedicated device, such as a dedicated storage server.
Electronic equipment, including the above-mentioned electronic equipment device of running application.
By using the technical scheme of the invention, as long as the executable file and a small amount of resource files required by starting the executable file are stored in the electronic equipment, the application corresponding to the executable file can be started in advance, thereby effectively saving the time consumed by installing a large amount of resource files and improving the user experience of the electronic equipment. Meanwhile, the technical scheme does not need to modify the kernel of the operating system, is simple and easy to implement, and the user of the electronic equipment does not need to perform complex operations such as reinstallation of the operating system and the like, and can realize the installation of the user mode application.
Other solutions can be fully constructed by the person skilled in the art on the basis of the specific solutions described above. This is not to be taken as an example.
