I'm unable to find the AIDL tool in my OSX install. My tools directory does not have AIDL, but it has everything else (Adb, android, ddms, etc). I've tried opening the SDK and AVD manager and reinstalling the Android SDK Tools Rev 7, no luck. Any idea on how I can get a hold of the tool? Is there a separate download I can use?
My question concerns using aidl.exe (on a Windows system) from the command line. This question has nothing to do with Eclipse, Netbeans, etc. Included with the Android SDK are the following three AIDL definition files: IRemoteService.aidl IRemoteServiceCallback.aidl ISecondary.aidl. Located in the following directory: C:android-sdk-windowsplatformsandroid 2.1samplesApiDemossrccomexampleandroidapisapp. For the sake of simplicity, I copied aidl.exe into the above directory. Then, from a console Window, I successfully used the following two commands to generate .java files: C:Android-projectApiDemossrccomexampleandroidapisapp>aidl IRemoteServiceCallback.aidl C:Android-projectApiDemossrccomexampleandroidapisapp>aidl ISecondary.aidl. Invoking these commands produced the files: IRemoteServiceCallback.java and ISecondary.java, respectively. So far so good. I note that both .aidl files are simple; they include no 'import' statements..............................

Please help to locate. Is there any location from where I can download?
I am in need of help to complete my application. I am trying to execute a project that uses and android library. Basically I am trying to execute the android facebook sdk to run the sample code provided at http://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk 1. I have downloaded the sdk and extracted the zip file to a folder 2. I used Eclipse galileo import to create an android project from existing resource. I imported the sdk source code (facebook folder of the sdk) into my project explorer successfully. I can also run Build Project for this source code. 3. Now, I am trying to import the sample example in it. The project is imported but I cannot execute it. I cannot build the project. Code...

I downloaded the Android 2.2 source code and try to build it. When I executed the make command, I got an error here like this build/core/java.mk:20: *** frameworks/ex/common: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. Then I changed the frameworks/ex/common/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7. Next place, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/jsr305: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/jsr305/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
Last one, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/guava: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/guava/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
By these changes the code started the compilation.
1. Why the error occured?
2. Changes which I did is correct or not?

I downgraded to Eclipse 3.5, and the following still doesn't happen when I build a project in Eclipse:
1. .aidl files don't get processed (at all).
2. R.java isn't generated.
Used to work. What the heck?
Under what circumstances would using AIDL to define a service interface be the correct decision (rather than just creating an extension to the service class)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a service that is meant to communicated to an activity using aidl's and callback functions. I got it working just fine with my test activity in the same package. But I was wanting to expose this service to different activities running in a completely different .apk file. Is it possible to accomplish this? What does the separate package need to bind to my service and register the callbacks? Or am I going about this completely wrong and should I try a different method for conveying information back and forth between two packages.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am curious whether the AIDL only serves for inter-process communication between several Android apps on the same device, or AIDL provides much wider functionality. Let's say I have a Java application running on some server, is it possible to remotely call methods on that server through AIDL from an Android phone?If yes, do I need some extra libraries on the server-side Java application?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have problems with the following: I want to create to applications. One with a Android service and one with a Activity that will use functions on the Service. Before I splitted this in to applications I got everything working in one application. I can call functions (that are definned in the aidl - file) on the service without problems.
Now the problems coms. I splitted the application into two parts, a Service application and Gui application. The bindins to the service (in the gui application) works and I see that the service is getting created. Then in the onServiceConnected function of the ServiceConnection class I created the following:
mService = IMyService.Stub.asInterface(service);
And this gives me the following exception:
03-16 13:53:05.549: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(881): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyPackage.IMyService$Stub
It looks like he can't find the Stub class in IMyService. But the Stub is part of the java file generated out of the aidl-file. Why I get this exception or how I can resolve this?
I am curious about the data types that AIDL can support.
The document ( http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html ) says, AIDL can support String, List, Map, etc. But to me, the Map seems that it is not the member of them.
Here is my code.......................
I have to make other developers to be able to connect to my service, but my AIDL imports my classes. I don't want to give them the source code of the service, just the APK and some kind of a stub file (java, jar?). How can I give them something - "the glue" - which makes them to use the classes in my AIDL and using the service akp without getting the sources of the service?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a service which exposes few AIDL defined interfaces. I want to access this Service from an application with different package. I have no clue how to achieve this. I want to see an example on this.
Unfortunately all examples I see has client application in the Service package it self:(
Could you please share some sample/example code on this?
I have created some aidl files for IPC in my Android project.
They compile and run file however in the generated .java files I am getting warnings of un-used imports as follows:
The import android.os.Binder is never used EngineInterface.java/gen/com//phone/engine line 10 Java Problem
Now I presume that they are there for a reason and since the generated file is not supposed to be modified that adding a suppress warning is not a good idea?
So how do I get rid of the warnings? I know they can be left and it doesn't affect the running of the project but I would like a clean as possible project so if its at all possible to remove this errors I would like to know how to do it.
This may sound stpid, for some reason I can't find anywhere on Eclipse that lets me generate blank .aidl file. does anyone know how?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application using services and Remote interface. I have a question about passing the reference of my Remote interface throughout Activities. In my first Activity, I bind my service with my activity, in order to get a reference to my interface I use
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName arg0, IBinder service) {
x = X.Stub.asInterface(service);
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
};
x being the reference to my interface. Now I would like to access this interface from another activity, I see two ways to do it but I don't know which one is the "proper" way to do it: passing x with my intent when I call the new Activity redo this.bindService(new Intent(y.this,z.class), mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); in the onCreate() of my new Activity
We're planning to export an application layer AIDL interface. What are some best practices with regards for managing version compatibility? Does Android provide any version-related mechanisms for AIDL interfaces?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI didn't find a sufficient answer to my problem in any posts, if there already is one, please excuse and point me to it, thanks. I made 2 projects. project 1 hast an activity that binds to a service from project 2 on a button click (all just for testing).
How can I make project 1 know (import) my TestInterface (from TestInterface.aidl out of project 2) for usage in: "TestInterface mService = (TestInterface) TestInterface.Stub.asInterface(service);"
without adding project 2 to the build path, because if I'd have an installed service without the project code, I couldn't do it this way, too...?? I read in one thread that TestInterface.aidl should just be added to project 1, too, but if I do this, in DDMS enforceInterface() complains and seems to just see/use the interface from project 1 and it doesn't work.

I've been working on an app for a couple months now. I just downloaded the sdk and installed the newest plugin. Unfortunately my app broke after this finished. I have tried setting the build target to 1.1 and 1.5, still no luck. I believe the problem is stemming from the .aidl files causing other classes to break. The error in the aidl files says cannot find import for my Song class, which has worked up until now. Any ideas? Let me know if posting code or errors will help, as of now I'm all out of ideas.

How to create a List of MyObject in .aidl?
I have a service that will send out notifications with timed tasks. I need this service to run outside the life of the application, but I only need to access the services functions during the lifespan of the app. Is a local service enough or do I need to implement AIDL?
