It became clear now. Thank you Mark. The problem was, I am having my AIDL interface in a different package. And I have included the same AIDL interface package in both Service and Client application. But the <intent-filter> of the Service had <action> string with package name of the Service.
So we can follow below while adding <intent-filter>, so trhat trick "IScript.class.getName()" will work. <service android:name=".serviceName" android:exported="true" android:enabled="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="package name of aidl interface.Interface name" / > </intent-filter> </service> thanks, Krishna On Jun 23, 7:02 pm, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 9:57 AM, Krishna Shetty > > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you very much Mark, Joe. > > > But below call i.e., binding with the Interface name is not working.
