Answer 1

The rest of posts here didn't work for me till I created a new folder like shown here.

Answer 2

Add this code in build.gradle

android {
    sourceSets {
        main {
            aidl.srcDirs = ['src']

Rebuild and import aidl class

Answer 3

Just as the error message says, you need to put IInAppBillingService.aidl in the correct directory dictated by it's package (com.android.vending.billing).

Within the src/main/aidl/ folder you already have, put the .aidl file in com/android/vending/billing/.

Answer 4

• Create new directory under src/main called aidl
• Right click on directory aidl, select new->add package

• Enter Name of the package com.android.vending.billing

• Copy IInAppBillingService.aidl from the directory Android/Sdk/extras/google/play_billing to the directory App_name/app/src/main/aidl/com/android/vending/billing

• Now go ahead with InApp billing coding and while defining InApp related services you will get an error can not resolve symbol IInAppBillingXXXXXX
• Now goto to Build from android studio menu , click on Rebuild Project. This will generate IInAppBillingService.java file inside App_Name/app/build/generated/source/aidl/debug/com/android/vending/billing. This will solve the issue.

restarting Android Studio worked for me

a second silly thing that took me a while. I dropped the code on Android Studio to allow him create the file, but he created a .java (as expected) instead a .aidl Jiji, stupid of me

Now clean the project, rebuild the project - We can the corresponding java file for the aidl generated in app\build\generated\source\aidl\debug\packagename\youraidl.java
