Android :: Use AIDL Tool From Command Line Using SDK Sample Code?
Feb 1, 2010My 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..............................

Jul 20, 2010I'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.

Jul 21, 2010I 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 RelatedAndroid :: AIDL In Multiple Projects In Eclipse
Mar 16, 2010I 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?
Android :: Can AIDL Really Support The Map - The Data Type

Android :: Deploying AIDL That Imports Classes
Nov 12, 2010I 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?

Android :: AIDL Gen Files Causing Warnings?
Feb 22, 2010I 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.
Android :: Pass Remote Interface (aidl) Throughout Activities?
May 13, 2010I 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

May 16, 2009I 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.

Android :: AIDL Issue With 1.5sdk And Eclipse Plugin
Jun 1, 2009I'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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Custom Classes Passed From Service To A UI Threads Via AIDL
May 30, 2010I have a service that regularly queries a web server for new messages. The service stores the new messages in an arrayList. These messages are implemented using a custom class, storing all kinds of metadata (strings and longs).
An activity then connects to this service to retrieve those messages and display them to the user.
I have an .aidl file that describes the interface that the service exposes.
CODE:..........
The Message class extends the Parcelable class which should allow for the IPC transfer.
The problem is this: Eclipse gives me an error saying that the type of List<Message> is unknown. Any imports are marked as invalid.
Android :: How To Identify Which Client Called Into A Remote/AIDL Service

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Extending Parcelables - Got Syntax Error From Aidl Compiler
Jul 15, 2009I'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)
