[ANSWERED] Calling Android method

[Anonymous]

I've been trying to get Scaleform to communicate with Android and I'm halfway there (ActionScript to C++ and back), only, I can't get it to work with Android. Here's my code (in FxShippingPlayer.cpp)

if (strcmp(methodName, "scaleformTest"))
 {
 pmovieView->Invoke("_root.sampleFunction", 0, 0, 0); // do function in Flash, works
 
 // Now try to open the virtual keyboard, just like Scaleform does in the source;
 JNIEnv *env;
 jclass cls = env->GetObjectClass(JObj);
 jmethodID cb = env->GetMethodID(cls, "OpenVirtualKeyboard", "(Z)V");
 env->CallVoidMethod(JObj, cb, multiline);
 
 // Not working, error: 'JObj' was not declared in this scope
 }

Hi Kenney,

I've done some research on this, and have come up with some basic steps on communicating between Flash->C++->Java. I will be creating a new video tutorial very soon to go over the details. Stand by.

I love you Matthew, can't wait for the video! Thanks for the support.

How's the video coming along? 🙂

Did you put the OnRegisterSWFCallback handler in your SWF file?

I don't think that's the problem here, I'm having trouble communicating between C++ and Java. Not Flash.

Hi Kenney. I'm sorry it has taken so long. I had a very busy end of 2012. I had to travel to Las Vegas to present a class at Autodesk University, then I had to go on the road to meet with customers. Finally, I've been on vacation for the past few weeks. I'm back now, and should be able to finish that video. I'll let you know as soon as it is up.

Are there any new resources on how best to handle the Flash->C++->Java bridge with Scaleform. We have created tons of plugins for iOS and now are looking to port them to Android. On the iOS side, we make extensive use of the Direct Access API to create custom FunctionHandlers. On the Android side of the things, all we have right now is the ability to create a build using the generated eclipse project, but the C++ code is trapped in the .so generated by arm-linux-androideabi-g++ in the Deployer. I am hoping there is a way to get this .so to build within Eclipse and maybe even to be debuggable!
