[android-developers] Re: How to use an AIDL across different package names?

Resolved. This was an issue with Eclipse and how it manages Java
packages.

When adding the AIDL file to Eclipse you must right-click the "src"
folder and select New | Package and then add the AIDL file into that
package. I ran into trouble by simply creating the folder structure
manually (com\mycompany\myservice) on the file system and then
importing into the AIDL via Eclipse. I simply removed that manual
entry, added a new package in Eclipse and Viola!

Java (and Eclipse) are not my primary development areas so this might
be obvious to some people. It was not obvious to me ... I posted here
in hope this will benefit others.
