That means you have no service with an <intent-filter> containing an <action> string that matches the value generated by IScript.class.getName(). If you are taking that code from one of my samples, the corresponding manifest from those samples is set up properly: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/AdvServices/RemoteService/ > But, below way of binding works. i.e., Binding with the exported > Service. > Intent i = new Intent(); > i.setClassName("com.mt.TestRemoteService", > "com.mt.TestRemoteService.MyService"); > bindService(i, svcConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); This is extremely fragile. If the other application refactors its code, your code will break. > Why bind with Interface name is not working for me? > ( Note: I have added an <intent-filter> on the <service> with a > Interface <action> ) Whatever you think you did, it is not working. Rather than use my IScript.class.getName() trick, it is probably simpler for you to just use the literal string. Copy whatever string is in your <action> and paste it as a string literal in your Intent constructor. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
