I'm using Eclipse with ADT to develop my project, but for some reason my AIDL files are not getting compiled into Java files. Is there a way to explicitly invoked the conversion of my AIDL files?

I've run into the following issue:
Say I have an Animal class, which is parcelable, and I have a Dog class and a Cat class, which are subclasses of Animal and also implement Parcelable.
Say I have a service with the following AIDL interface:
sendAnimals(List<Animal> animals);
Now I'm calling this remote interface from some client application, passing it a List containing Cats and Dogs. What happens now is that android calls the Cat's and the Dog's writeToParcel() methods at the client side, but at the server side, the Animal's CREATOR is used, which calls Animal's readFromParcel() method. So the right data is sent from the client, but the wrong unmarshalling code is executed at the server.
I have tried to put this in the AIDL file:
sendAnimals(List<T extends Animal> animals);
This results in a syntax error from the aidl compiler though.
My current workaround is as follows: - In each specific Animal subtype's writeToParcel() method, I write the class name as a String into the Parcel as the first element. - In the Animal's CREATOR.createFromParcel() I read the first String out of the parcel, and based on that I create the appropriate type and call the appropriate readFromParcel() method.
I think this is kind of ugly though. I would expect the android framework to take care of this for me.
(My application is not actually dealing with animals, this is just to make it simpler to explain the issue)
This is my aidl file.

If I don't close() a cursor explicitly, relying on gc instead, may it, theoretically, cause any problems?

There is the <supports-screens> tag and there is the anyDensity parameter but I don't see how I can say what I want. If I set anyDensity to false, what does that mean? Where do I specify which densities I do support?

View 11 Replies View RelatedIs anyone able to explain to me exactly what the upcoming JIT compiler will provide? For example, I have Java programs that generate bytecode at runtime which I would like to port to android. Will the JIT compiler make this possible by converting the runtime generated Java byte code to Dalvik at runtime as required?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor example, will this result in any performance gain:
-- public static final boolean DEV_MODE = false;
if(DEV_MODE){ // log stuff, compute debug values etc. }
I just read that Android has a 450% performance improvement because it added a JIT compiler, I know what JIT is, but I don't really understand why is it faster than normal compiled code? or what's the difference with the older approach from the Android platform (the Java like run compiled bytecode).

The results of this tests imples test_f() is not being inlined, even though it really is a prime candidate for it. It should also be possible to do this inlining at compile time.I investigated this further, and it turns out Dalvik doesn't do inlining at this date.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt is clear that cross compilers will not be allowed by the Apple App Store, so a developer will need to be familiar with Objective-C to create applications for the iPhone.I was wondering, is there a cross compiler that will take Objective-C application code and rebuild it into a similar Java application that can be packaged for Android? That way, a developer could still learn just one language (obj-c) but put out applications on many devices.I understand that the Java port would be less optimal than a natively coded application, but could conceivably save a developer some time.

Currently I am trying to compile native code for Android. The code is from the OpenCV port for Android. I pasted all the code correctly in my project and edited my make files accordingly. When I set android:debuggable to false everything works fine and I get my native library. When I try while android:debuggable is set to true I get an error.
Here is a part of the log:
CODE:....................
From what I have found on the internet this is caused by the optimization level of the compilation. As long as the code isn't compiled so that is is debuggable afterwards everything should be fine.
Now apparently it is possible to avoid this by setting APP-OPTIM := release in the Application.mk or adding -O2 to LOCAL_CFLAGS. I have tried both and still I get this error.
Right now I don't really care that much about debugging my native code, but I would like to have basic debugging enabled. And I don't want to keep switching android:debuggable in my manifest every time I want to compile. I'm not even sure if it is okay at all if I just set android:debuggable to false pre compiling and to true post compiling, but I am sure I will forget it every second run.

My Android app runs fine, but: If I insert a call to WebView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled, it crashes saying:
Could not find method android.webkit.WebView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled, referenced from [my class]
VFY: unable to resolve virtual method 289: Landroid/webkit/WebView;.setScrollbarFadingEnabled (Z)V
I am using Android 1.5, not a custom ROM. My app defines minSdkVersion="3" I always clean before compiling.
Is setScrollbarFadingEnabled unavailable in Android 1.5? If so, why don't I receive a compiler error?
Let's discuss board. Will the new JIT Compiler for 2.2 (FroYo) be faster than overclocking? And when we have 2.2 can we over clock?

but get errors...
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?
I get the android source. How can I build the aidl too that is part of android (the one which generates java file from an aidl file)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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?
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 1 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?
