Android:Eclipse won't recognize AIDL file - android

I've looked and looked, but Eclipse (3.6, with the 2.2 Android SDK) just won't do anything with the AIDL file I created. The AIDL file is in the same place as the other source, following the Java style. I've read that Eclipse should just generate the stub for the interface declared in the AIDL file, but it doesn't appear in the gen folder, nor anywhere else i've seen, and the project doesn't build because the interface specified in the AIDL isn't found. I suspect i'm doing something silly or not understanding something, but as much as i've looked and tried, I still don't get it and Eclipse still fails.
My AIDL:
package com.example.helloandroid;
interface HOSPlayerInterface
{
public void playURL(String url);
public boolean pause();
public boolean resume();
public void stop();
}
... and said AIDL lives in the com/example/helloandroid directory. Eclipse isn't recognizing it, highlighting syntax, running AIDL, etc. I'm at a loss. The Android plugin is installed and working, as i'm able to build and run simple Android projects that don't require AIDL. Any help would be appreciated.

Just remove all "public" access modifier before method declaration. The following code works in my project.
package com.example.helloandroid;
interface HOSPlayerInterface {
void playURL(String url);
boolean pause();
boolean resume();
void stop();
}
If the aidl file can not get compiling in Eclipse, delete "gen" folder and rebuild the project.

Any build errors? The IDE might exit prior to compiling your .aidl-file due to parse errors in XML or similar.

Android AIDLTokenType.IDENTIFIER expected, got rpc error in AIDL file

I have such aidl file:
package com.my.service;
import com.my.common.rpc.OnNextListener;
interface IService {
oneway void acceptStateListener(in OnNextListener l);
}
And I got an error in my Android Studio:
AIDLTokenType.IDENTIFIER expected, got 'rpc'
What's wrong here? Where I can find definitive tutorial about AIDL syntax?
It seems issue with the string "rpc" in your package name. Please rename it, it should work fine. I got similar error for the string "in" in my package.

Robolectric cannot find AndroidManifest.xml

This test originally ran fine. Checked out a new branch several days later (with commits from many other developers) and it no longer works.
Test class in the mylibrary library module:
import com.company.mylibrary.BuildConfig;
#RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
#Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, manifest = "src/main/AndroidManifest.xml", sdk = 21)
public class MyTest {
I have also tried:
#Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21)
#Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, manifest = Config.NONE, sdk = 21)
In the library module's build.gradle
dependencies {
.
.
testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:3.0'
Error message when running inside AS is:
java.lang.RuntimeException: build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml not found or not a file; it should point to your project's AndroidManifest.xml
Error message when running from command line is:
com.company.mylibrary.framework1.feature1.MyTest > testMethod STANDARD_ERROR
java.lang.RuntimeException: build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml not found or not a file; it should point to your project's AndroidManifest.xml
A) Don't know why it is looking there for the manifest
B) That file/directory does not exist
C) src/main/AndroidManifest.xml does exist
Things I have tried:
- deleted the build directory in that library module
- restarted Android Studio
- Build/Clean
- Build/Rebuild Project
- run the test (both inside AS and from command line)
- and tried different versions of the #Config notation
Seems to be in a wonky state that I cannot clear.

You need to set the working directory within the test's run configuration to the module directory.
Well, I've tackled the issue you're facing right now several times and found solution suitable for myself.
Generally, if your test logic does not require access to the application's resources, it's worth using usual RobolectricTestRunner as the time of the test execution is relatively shorter comparing it to the test execution time under RobolectricGradleTestRunner.
If, for some reason, you need access to the specific AndroidManifest.xml file, IMO it's better to come up with test file rather than to operate on the project's one.
By saying 'test file' I mean the following:
Let's start by defining what are the methods that can help us to obtain path to the resources files. The goal is to be able execute tests under Android Studio and, what's more relevant, via CLI (gradle :project:testBuildTypeUnitTest)
Java's System class: System.getProperty('user.dir') returns User's current working directory. Obtaining current directory we are in may help us to obtain paths to the resources we need to run our test having them provided.
Overriding RobolectricGradleTestRunner. To create our customized test runner we need the AndroidManifest.xml, the res directory and the assets directory paths:
public class CompassApplicationRobolectricTestRunner extends RobolectricGradleTestRunner {
private static final int TARGET_SDK_VERSION = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP;
private static final int MIN_SDK_VERSION = Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1;
public CompassApplicationRobolectricTestRunner(Class<?> klass) throws InitializationError {
super(klass);
}
#Override
protected AndroidManifest getAppManifest(Config config) {
final String manifestPath = PathResolver.resolveAndroidManifestPath();
final String resourcesPath = PathResolver.resolveResPath();
final String assetsPath = PathResolver.resolveAssetsPath();
AndroidManifest manifest = new AndroidManifest(
Fs.fileFromPath(manifestPath),
Fs.fileFromPath(resourcesPath),
Fs.fileFromPath(assetsPath)) {
#Override
public int getTargetSdkVersion() {
return TARGET_SDK_VERSION;
}
#Override
public int getMinSdkVersion() {
return MIN_SDK_VERSION;
}
};
return manifest;
}
}
Below, is the link to the example that worked for me. It was developed, however, some time ago and from the time perspective I see it can be done more elegant way so if you decide to apply this solution to your project, organize your path constants to be static and immutable:
https://github.com/dawidgdanski/android-compass-api/blob/master/app-tests/src/test/java/pl/dawidgdanski/compass/PathResolver.java
It's worth remembering that File.separator returns system's default directories separator. It's extremely useful when it comes to provide system-independent paths separated with default separation symbol.
Eventually, if the solution described above is not the one you want to follow, read decent article about setting up testing environment available here:
http://artemzin.com/blog/how-to-mock-dependencies-in-unit-integration-and-functional-tests-dagger-robolectric-instrumentation/
Hope that solves your problem.
In my case, I was running a single test manually (Right click and run) from inside Android Studio and Roboelectric wanted a RELEASE version. The question above was about debug but my test runs for some reason wanted a release version of the manifiest.
java.lang.RuntimeException: build/intermediates/manifests/release/AndroidManifest.xml not found or not a file; it should point to your project's AndroidManifest.xml
I had never done a production build in this project so that build directory had never been created.
After wrestling for a bit with no success (setting the path in configuration, trying to get the path in my CustomRoboelectric file), I just generated a production build so that I had the release path created with a manifest and everything worked.
So my solution was to just run the build to create what Roboelectric wanted.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in AIDL Service

I have a problem with a set of AIDL services.
I have an Android application that contains the AIDL files in a packet called
es.mypackage.services. These AIDL files are well defined and they have the correct names.
In addition, this package contains the implementations of these AIDL file.
These java implementations are defined in the manifest as services.
After compiling, a package es.mypackage.services is created in the gen folder.
Apart from this android application I have another app that it's just a client of these services. In this app, I have a package also called es.mypackage.services that contains the same AIDL files. After compiling, a package es.mypackage.services is created in the gen folder.
Then, I run the "server" application in a device. Then, I also run the "client" in the same device obtaining the following error in LogCat:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: es.mypackage.services.MyService
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3499):at es.mypackage.services.MyService.onBind(MyService.java:26)
Well, the code of this line nº26 is "return new IMyService.Stub()" that is inside:
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0)
{ return new IMyService.Stub()
{ ….
I don't know what is happening. Had somebody the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Unable to run Bitmap sample code for Android

I am trying to run the sample from :
http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/display-bitmap.html
However I encountered lots of errors like:
Description Resource Path Location Type
BuildConfig cannot be resolved to a variable ImageGridFragment.java /ImageGridActivity/src/com/example/android/bitmapfun/ui line 124 Java Problem
Description Resource Path Location Type
SuppressLint cannot be resolved to a type Utils.java /ImageGridActivity/src/com/example/android/bitmapfun/util line 99 Java Problem
I ran thru Google but could get nothing. Adjusted the android build target to 4.0.3 (15) but still no clue. Anyone ran this sample successfully?
Thanks.
Here is my solution:
1.Create a new class:
package com.example.android.bitmapfun;
public class BuildConfig {
public static final boolean DEBUG = true;
}
2.Comment the lines that contain "SuppressLint":
//import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
// #SuppressLint("NewApi")
Android developer tools r17 brings a feature to Eclipse where a class is auto built at build-time, called BuildConfig, which contains a constant that can be used by the app developer to sense whether the build is a dev build or a production build. This feature appears to be in the Eclipse integration support, so when using IntelliJ, this useful feature is not available
In gen folder with R.java there should be BuildConfig.java if your program compiled successfully.
/** Automatically generated file. DO NOT MODIFY */
package com.example.android.bitmapfun;
public final class BuildConfig {
public final static boolean DEBUG = true;
}
Clean your project and try to launch it again.
It worked for me.
For me also it is not running directly import to eclipse. Just i put comments which lines is showing errors then it is working fine for me. May be it is not a right answer but we can see the application functionality by running the code so i did like that.

Facebook Android SDK source will not compile with Eclipse Indigo

After finally getting the Android Facebook SDK to properly import thanks to this, I found that eclipse does not recognize the override of onclick in FbDialog.java:
mCrossImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mListener.onCancel();
FbDialog.this.dismiss();
}
});
Nor does it recognize the overrides of onServiceConnected and onServiceDisconnected in the TokenRefreshServiceConnection implementation of ServiceConnection
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
messageSender = new Messenger(service);
refreshToken();
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg) {
serviceListener.onError(new Error("Service disconnected"));
// We returned an error so there's no point in
// keeping the binding open.
mAuthActivity.unbindService(TokenRefreshServiceConnection.this);
}
All three methods say, in the warning, that the method must override a superclass method. I have not modified the code at all yet. I checked that Eclipse recognizes the types as the same ones in the respective superclasses, and I have tried pressing control-shift-o to organize the imports, which was a fix suggested in this answer for a similar problem.
These overrides are part of the SDK, not any separate project. I set up the project to use Android SDK 2.2 as was shown on Facebook's instructions, and 4.0.3, which should be, theoretically, compatible with all previous versions. I have yet to get Facebook's own code to work. As a side note, is there a jar I can use instead? It would make this much easier.
Guessing your Project Properties -> Java Compiler Compiler compliance level is set to 1.5, not 1.6 (or higher).
Change this.
Why is javac failing on #Override annotation
The lazy, fast and easy fix is to remove the #Override annotations. The correct fix is to check that the project compiles to Java 1.5 or above, to use "fix project properties" from Eclipse, and possibly to check that the Facebook library project uses the same Android SDK for compiling against, as your project.
