Bear in mind that this is not supported by the SDK, so I'm not surprised you're encountering problems. http://www.androidguys.com/2009/12/14/code-pollution-reaching-past-the-sdk/ > Since I cannot alter either version of the service, I feel I am stuck > with a situation where a single interface file in my project must be > two different versions, which it cannot. Yes, I suspect you're probably stuck. There might be some tricks you can pull by manually modifying the generated stub for your 2.aidl edition, so the stub is named with the "2" but it uses the original name everywhere else. This, of course, is terribly fragile. > The workaround I have been thinking of is that I will keep my app so > it can interface to Android 1.x's MediaPlayerService via the existing > (working) interface, and have 2.x users download an additional package > embodying a service of my own creation which serves as a front-end to > Android 2.x's MediaPlayerService.

To me, that seems uglier. The third option is for you to not use the built-in MediaPlaybackService, but rather use your own copy. I have no idea how easily their implementation can be teased out of the source code and turned into something that works with the SDK. The fourth option is for you to not use the built-in MediaPlaybackService but roll your own media playback service. IMHO, either of those two are preferable to using something you're not supposed to be using. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org
