Thanks a lot Mark! And sorry about the package thingy... Since the names were the same i thought they were the same packages. Making a new package with the SAME NAME as the AIDL was in in the previous application and copying the AIDL file in to that package solves the problem. Thanks again for the help.
Cheers! Prafull.
