In App Purchaes with Android Studio unable to find IInAppBillingService

Question

I am working on android project and I am using In App Purchases. It was all working in Eclipe but I saw Android Studio had another update which fixed a lot of issues related to library dependencies which does seem to be the case except for one problem. I am unable to use the IAP service as it keeps stating that it cannot be resolved to a symbol.

I have followed the instructions that someone posted here but unfortunately has not worked. Below are the links I have looked at

how can I add the aidl file to Android studio (from the in-app billing example)

Try to clean your build with gradlew clean and gradlew assemble and check your project. You have an error also in R. – Snack

I solved with above comment, – Backer

One issue I ran into was I had copied the package com.android.vending.billing from Eclipse over to Android Studio into the wrong location, and it ended up changing the package name in the IInAppBillingService.aidl file . I had to fix it manually – Protagoras

Answer 1

as per info here: aidl files

Aidl files are supposed to be in src/main/aidl: per the tools docs at: tools doc

This must be accepted as the right answer! I moved the package com.android.vending.billing with IInAppBillingService.aidl file into src/main/aidl directory and it compiled without any errors. – Taking

This document says nothing about aidl directory: developer.android.com/google/play/billing/… – Prussianism

Answer 2

I was getting this error even though I placed the file in right directory and was importing it in right way. Then I just did Build > Clean Project and this solved the problem.

(As far as I can guess, not sure) I think when we add .aidl file at that time android studio doesn't know about it unless we compile our project at-least once

Answer 3

In my case I just manually added import (after Gradle build):

import com.android.vending.billing.IInAppBillingService;

First, you may need to do Build > Clean Project. – Kendo
