OnServiceConnected not getting called, getting null pointer exception

I have developed the linked service as a separate project and I am trying to access the service from the client, but I somehow get

AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

I suspect onServiceConnected is not getting called. Can someone help me solve this.

Thanks Advance,

Enter your client code below:

public class BinderServiceActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private static final String TAG = "LogActivity";
ILogService logService;
LogConnection conn;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

// Request bind to the service
conn = new LogConnection(); // 
Intent intent = new Intent("com.test.binder.ILogService"); // 
intent.putExtra("version", "1.0"); // 
bindService(intent, conn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); // 

// Attach listener to button
((Button) findViewById(R.id.button1)).setOnClickListener(this);
}

class LogConnection implements ServiceConnection { // 

public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { // 
  logService = ILogService.Stub.asInterface(service); // 
  Log.i(TAG, "connected");
}

public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) { // 
  logService = null;
  Log.i(TAG, "disconnected");
}

}

public void onClick(View button) {
try {

  logService.log_d("LogClient", "Hello from onClick()"); // 
  Message msg = new Message(Parcel.obtain()); // 
  msg.setTag("LogClient");
  msg.setText("Hello from inClick() version 1.1");
  logService.log(msg); // 
} catch (RemoteException e) { // 
  Log.e(TAG, "onClick failed", e);
}

}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
Log.d(TAG, "onDestroyed");

unbindService(conn); // 

logService = null;
}
}
