Can't open .AIDL file? Are you wondering what it contains? On our site we will explain to you what this file is, what it is used for and what software opens the .AIDL file.
.AIDL file extension is created by Google. .AIDL has been classified as Developer Files. The format of .AIDL file is Text.
An AIDL file is used by Android app developers to enable communication between different apps. It contains Java source code that defines an interface, or contract, for how apps can communicate with each another.
AIDL is an implementation of the Interprocess Communication (IPC) protocol provided by Android. It allows one application to communicate with another application running in a different process. The AIDL implementation was developed to alleviate the time burden on developers who would otherwise have to create code for marshalling objects across process boundaries.
After creating the AIDL file, you should save your AIDL file in the src/ directory of your project. When you build your application, an "IBinder" interface file with a ".java" extension will be generated in your project's gen/ directory. The .JAVA file will bear the same filename as the AIDL file from which it was created.
