I have following questions

  1. Do i need to create a simple file with .aidl extension ?
  2. I read that a corresponding .java file will be created, but in my case when i created a .aidl file;i couldn't find any such .java file
  3. is there any particular folder where i need to create this .aidl file.
Solution

  • Create a .aidl file for objects to be passed through IBinder. You should create the .aidl file in the same package as the Java object that it defines.
