Trouble when use remote service communication (use IMediaPlaybackService in android framework level)

Question

I want to use MediaPlayback service (achieved in music app) in framework level, steps is:

added these codes in a java file (also add IMediaPlaybackService.aidl in the same directory) based in /frameworks/base/core/java/com/android:

private IMediaPlaybackService mMediaPlaybackService = null;
private boolean isServiceConn = false;
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
    public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
        mMediaPlaybackService = IMediaPlaybackService.Stub.asInterface(service);
        isServiceConn = true;
    }

    public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
    }
};

public void funcXXX() {
    ...

    if(isServiceConn == false) {
        mContext.bindService(new intent("com.android.music.MediaPlaybackService"), mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
    }

    ...
}

public void onClick(View v) {
    try {
        mMediaPlaybackService.prev();// play previous track
    } catch(RemoteException ex) {
    } 
}

the service binded successfully and the value of mMediaPlaybackService is corrected, but when i click a button and execute the statement "mMediaPlaybackService.prev()", the progrem will crash, the logcat dump is:

E/AndroidRuntime(  259): java.lang.SecurityException: Binder invocation to an incorrect interface
E/AndroidRuntime(  259):    at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1327)
E/AndroidRuntime(  259):    at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1281)
E/AndroidRuntime(  259):    at com.android.internal.widget.IMediaPlaybackService$Stub$Proxy.prev(IMediaPlaybackService.java:457.

Please suggest what could be going wrong here, and any help will be highly appreciated. It will be also helpful if you briefly explain how to use bindService or IPC.

I fixed this problem myself. the key is copy aidl to correct place. i want to add client code on the package com.android.internal.widget(frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/widget), and aidl's package is com.android.music, so we need copy IMediaPlaybackService.aidl to frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/music/IMediaPlaybackService.aidl(make sure it will generate the same java file), and then add aidl path to LOCAL_SRC_FILE in frameworks/base/Android.mk(make sure this file will be compiled).
