Not yet, but it's quickly becoming apparent that I should :) Where's

Yes, it is currently defined as an out parameter (but see below).

I misunderstood the directions that "in" and "out" mean, and had them
reversed. It looks like the correct thing for me to do is change the
"out" to an "in" (AIDL complains without a default set, as both Bundle
and Map can be passed "in", "out", or "inout", and it wants you to
tell it exactly what it is you want).
Thanks for such a thorough response! It's been very elucidating.
