My issue seems to be similar to this question and this one but it is a bit different.
I am making an AIDL service that is in a Library project and using it in my application. I have a class Vehicle that is in my application that I have made parcelable so that I can use it in my interface. (I would like to get a List of vehicles from my service that is in the library to my application)
Do I need a Vehicle.java in both the application and the library?
Do I need a Vehicle.aidl in both?
I had Vehicle.java AND Vehicle.aidl in both application and library and I began running into a problem in my application that when I called a method from my interface eclipse wanted me to define it as the Vehicle of the library class and not the application(although they are the same and both parcelable).
public List<Vehicle> getVehicles(){...code... }
In an effort to resolve this, I tried to make it the application's vehicle class rather than the library's vehicle class in my IRemoteInterface.aidl(in the listed variation below, i get an error that it can't find the import. In other variations like having it be List and no import, it says unknown return type).
package LIBRARY;
import LIBRARY.RelPoint;
import LIBRARY.IRemoteServiceCallback;
import LIBRARY.FleetStatus;
import APPLICATION.Vehicle;
interface IRemoteInterface {
int getPid();
void registerCallback(IRemoteServiceCallback callback);
void unregisterCallback(IRemoteServiceCallback callback);
List<Vehicle> getVehicles();
}
Here is my parcelable Vehicle class from the application :
package APPLICATION;
import java.util.Date;
import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;
public class Vehicle implements Parcelable {
public static final String TAG = "Vehicle";
long vehicleID;
long trackID;
String vehicleName;
public static final Parcelable.Creator<Vehicle> CREATOR = new Parcelable.Creator<Vehicle>() {
public Vehicle createFromParcel(Parcel src) {
return new Vehicle(src);
}
public Vehicle[] newArray(int size) {
return new Vehicle[size];
}
};
public Vehicle(Parcel src) {
readFromParcel(src);
}
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
dest.writeLong(vehicleID);
dest.writeLong(trackID);
dest.writeString(vehicleName);
}
public void readFromParcel(Parcel src) {
vehicleID = src.readLong();
trackID = src.readLong();
vehicleName = src.readString();
}
public int describeContents() {
// nothing special
return 0;
}
public Vehicle() {
}
//getter and setter methods below that I removed
}
