Android Aidl error sdk build tools 29.0.0

Question

I upgraded my Android app to start using SDK 29 and build tools 29.0.0. When compiling in Android Studio I get an error:

Process 'command 'C:\\Users\\ma_fo\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\build-tools\\29.0.0\\aidl.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value -1073741819

The actual command executed for aidl is C:\\Users\\ma_fo\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\build-tools\\29.0.0\\aidl.exe with arguments { -pC:\\Users\\ma_fo\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\platforms\\android-29\\framework.aidl -oE:\\Work\\McDevelopment\\android-sales-app-webview\\app\\build\\generated\\aidl_source_output_dir\\debug\\compileDebugAidl\\out -IE:\\Work\\McDevelopment\\android-sales-app-webview\\app\\src\\main\\aidl -IE:\\Work\\McDevelopment\\android-sales-app-webview\\app\\src\\debug\\aidl -IC:\\Users\\ma_fo.gradle\\caches\\transforms-2\\files-2.1\\c21a47fa6bee4a2c237691438c7b1f92\\aidl -IC:\\Users\\ma_fo.gradle\\caches\\transforms-2\\files-2.1\\87cbfb92509988fa6d22255a681cc703\\aidl -IC:\\Users\\ma_fo.gradle\\caches\\transforms-2\\files-2.1\\4cdb3bb0ddd100ba4f9a12ec5a9fae60\\aidl -dC:\\Users\\ma_fo\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\aidl367254395093906008.d E:\\Work\\McDevelopment\\android-sales-app-webview\\app\\src\\main\\aidl\\com\\android\\vending\\billing\\IInAppBillingService.aidl}

When I run this command manually in an MS-DOS prompt with aidl of build-tools 28.0.3, the compilation passes without any errors.

When I run this command with the aidl of build tools 29.0.0 I get an error: aidl E 06-08 18:07:03 4920 13216 io_delegate.cpp:141] Error while creating E:\\Work\\McDevelopment\\android-sales-app-webview\\app\\build\\generated\\aidl_source_output_dir\\debug\\compileDebugAidl\\out\\E:: Invalid argument

I would expect the manual idl compilation to work for both versions. Is there are problem with the aidl in build tools 29.0.0 ? Or is there something else which I should update ?

Answer 1

In my case the *.d file in the -d parameter has a error in the first line.

From build tools 28.0.3:

C:\[PROJECT-PATH]\app\build\generated\aidl_source_output_dir\debug\compileDebugAidl\out\com\android\vending\billing\IInAppBillingService.java : \

From build tools 29.0.0

C:\[PROJECT-PATH]\app\build\generated\aidl_source_output_dir\debug\compileDebugAidl\out\C:\[PROJECT-PATH]\app\src\main\aidl\com\android\vending\billing\IInAppBillingService.java : \

But I have no solution. I think it is a bug in the build tools 29.0.0.

Update: The build tools version 29.0.1 has solved this problem.

Answer 3

If you got an error after upgrade (like me), then the solution is downgrade. I downgraded from 29.0.0 to 28.0.3 and it works for me:

C:\>"c:\Users\Plinio\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin\sdkmanager" --list --verbose

Before to downgrade, I tried to check this issue. If you notice, there is an "E:" at the end of the path. It looks like a bug of aidl.exe if there isn't an output file assigned as second parameters.

aidl.exe [OPTION]... INPUT [OUTPUT]

Check your error message (like the mine):
