Android: How to package and deploy AIDL interfaces?

Our app exposes an Android service through an AIDL interface, which also depends on some children AIDL wrappers and parsable objects. What's the recommended approach for packaging these into a jar file for external consumption?

Can raw AIDL files go in the jar files, or do must they be first compiled into stubs?

Well, they can, they just won't do anyone any good automatically.

do must they be first compiled into stubs?

That is one possibility. I think it's safer if you would ship the AIDL file and tell them were to place it in their project.

I think the Android library project stuff now supports AIDL files, but I am not 100% certain. If it does, you could package your stuff as an Android library project, and the AIDL will be picked up automatically.
