Hi, My objective: I want to develop two .apks as .apk#1 and .apk#2. My .apk#1 has one serice as serv#1 and .apk#2 has serive as .serv#2. I wanna to invoke the serv#1 of .apk#1 in serv#2 of .apk#2. For time being i have created two .apks and thinking how to commucate between them, i mean how i should proceed to invoke serv# of .apk#1 in my .apk#2.
Can someone please help me what all steps i need to follow to achive my objective? If someone can share a sample example if you had that would be really helpful for me. I have lots of questions in my mind mentioned below but not sure whether all my understanding are correct or not as per my objective -- - As per my knowledge both .apk#1 and .apk#2 will run in different process, so i might require the IPC mechanism. - I also need to expose the interface using AIDL. Is it require to generate and compile the AIDL interface for both the .apk#1 and .apk#2. - How i can include the .apk#1 in .apk#2, is it like package .apk#1??

You didn't actually say what exact problem you are hitting, though, so I can't offer much more help than that.

Suppose i have created APK1 having services(serv1, serv2) and APK2. I want to invoke the serv1 in APK2. I have tried by using aidl files also. These my question: - How we can access services of different .apk. - How to use the aidl file, is the aidl file should be added in the .apk whose service we want to use. I have gone through the below links, but couldn't find any concret idea of how to impliment. http://code.google.com/android/reference/aidl.html http://minicompact.com/mobiletalk/?tag=android-service http://minicompact.com/mobiletalk/?p=18 http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/os/IBinder.html It would be appreciable If someone answer my question. -Kumar -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
