[android-developers] Expose service interface to other application

[Lutz Schönemann]

Hi,






The AIDL for the interface I want to use

--- 8< ---  8< ---  8< ---

package de. [...] . [...] .softwarepolicy.pep;

import de. [...] . [...] .softwarepolicy.pep.roles.PolicyRole;

interface IPEPServiceManagement {
    List<PolicyRole> getAvailableRoles(in int type);

    void setRoles(inout String[] roles);

    List<PolicyRole> getActiveRoles(in int type);

    void updateRoles(String uri);
    void reloadRoles();
}

--- 8< ---  8< ---  8< ---



the AIDL for the class PolicyRole that is used in the previous AIDL

--- 8< ---  8< ---  8< ---

package de.fraunhofer.sit.softwarepolicy.pep.roles;

parcelable PolicyRole;

--- 8< ---  8< ---  8< ---




can someone give me a hint how to expose a service the right way?

Thanks

I have created a service and want to expose the interface to other applications. For one service I have done this successfuly. I just put the AIDL interface into the new project and all worked fine. Now for this service I've done the same but I get a java.lang.VerifyError when trying to use this interface. I think that the problem is that the AIDL uses a class (PolicyRole) that is only defined in the source code of the service. To compile the source that uses the interface I had to link against the code of the service but at runtime the error appears. The code for the class PolicyRole is only inside the services project so I added the service to the build path and the compile doesn't complain..
