I wrote a dummy "HelloWorld" service and client.

It uses Binder for IPC.  For some this is likely "duh", but it did take me

several days of puzzling to work things out.  I think some of the problem is

that there is some dead code in IMediaPlayerClient.cpp, which I was using as

my guide.   

I'm convinced that it should be possible to see the services from Java

Binder/ServiceManager code, and avoid a layer of JNI (and thus an NDK

invocation) between a Java application and a C++ service, but I didn't manage

that.  The bird droppings in the src/org/credil/...*.java are my attempts,

ignore them, or better yet, fix them. 

Push the three pieces generated: libhelloworldservice.so (to /system/lib),

and helloworldservice, and helloworldclient to /data. 

(See deploy.sh, and buildit.sh)

adb shell

cd /data

./helloworldservice &

./helloworldclient

I hope that this code will help others from scratching their head a lot.

is one suggestion I have to make other writers of code like this easier.

Probably I'm posting to the wrong mailing list, sorry.  I can not keep up

with these mailing lists.
