Whatever is going on has nothing to do with AIDL, since apparently you
aren't even connecting to the service. There are two service examples
in API demos that you can look at for help.
You should always look in the log when getting errors to see if there
are more details printed about what happened.
Btw, the package name "dom.da" is probably not correct for you to
use. You need to use a package name for some domain you have control
over.
