Hello
I have an advanced question about scripting.
Is it possible at all to communicate with a 3rd party remote service from a script? You know, Context.bindService() and all those things. Provided I have that service’s AIDL file.
I understand that AIDL is for generation of stub and proxy for “real” Java code. But maybe it can be done from JavaScript using bare Binder/Parcel classes?
I’m not as experienced developer to figure it out myself, sadly 🙁
What’s on my mind – is to communicate to famous Torque application, which provides API for plugins:

https://torque-bhp.com/ITorqueService.aidl
What I would like to call on this service is:
float getValueForPid(long pid, boolean triggersDataRefresh);
Thanks in advance for any clue 🙂

Yes, Lightning should be able to bind services. You should be able to call functions on the Binder without any AIDL required.

Thanks for your reply, Lukas!
I thought so that it would be possible.
Maybe somebody already done some scripting with remote service calls, to use as a reference. Because as I said, I have not much of experience with Android development, and all that looks complex.
Anyone?

Dmitry Avsioukov I saw your second post with a script. What happened to it?

Lukas Morawietz In that post, I put my script and I was asking for suggestion what is my mistake. But almost immediately, I figured it out, so I removed it. I managed to make the script work, and already shared in a separate post.
