IInAppBillingService.java does not generate Java file in Android Studio

Question

I am following this tutorial: https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_integrate.html#billing-permission

No InAppBillingActivity file is generating. I'm not sure why. I checked to make sure everything is placed correctly but no luck. Here is what my folder structure looks like: Click this for picture

Now I know there are similar questions like this but none of them were able to solve my problem. I have already imported googles billing library as well. No file generates when I run / build the app.

Answer 1

The problem is that the docs are not very accurate in specifying where it is that you will find the java file that should be in the gen folder. I had faced the same problem and had broken my head over it, until I found that the .java file was infact generated and it was in the path :

\app\build\generated\source\aidl\debug\com\android\vending\billing\IInAppBillingService.java

Its not a headache issue and your code runs smoothly itself without any interventions required. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

In android studio double click on your package name:

click in New and then on AIDL

Hope it helps
