There is no restriction on access to components across .apks, so I would guess that the Intent you are making is not matching the service you have declared. If you are using an explicit component name in the Intent, make sure that the package name matches the package name of the .apk the service is actually implemented in (in addition to the class name matching). (Btw, in a future SDK, if you don't have an <intent-filter> tag in the service definition, application components will be private by default, and there will be an attribute you can use to make them accessible from other .apks.) > Can inter-app communication be achieved via the aidl facility ? Yes, see the RemoveServiceBinding example here: http://code.google.com/android/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/google/android/samples/app/ The client and server there can be split across .apks and work exactly the same way; you just need to compile the same .aidl definition into both of the .apks. > Is there an API to peek into the Service registry of android e.g. to > enumerate all available services ? You can't directly get a list of all services, but you can use this to get all services matching an Intent: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#queryIntentServices(android.content.Intent,%20int) Or you can use these APIs to iterate through all .apks: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getInstalledPackages(int) And then retrieve the services in each .apk by calling this: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getPackageInfo(java.lang.String,%20int) With this flag: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#GET_SERVICES --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
