Pass PublicKey Object from service to activity in Android?

Question

I'm trying to pass a PublicKey object from a service to an activity. However, the Aidl doesn't seem to support the PublicKey type. Any ideas on how to do this?

Answer 1

If you already have your public key you should put it into the /res/raw/ folder and retrieve it from there. Or store it in filesystem activity.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() would be your path. You can also use - pass Objects over IPC as described here in the article http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html hope this helps.
