Interfacing/Wrapping Java Libraries (Android NG)
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax NG/Interfacing/Wrapping Java Libraries (Android NG)
| ||
| I found some simple java libraries which I think I could use with my android project, I was wondering what is the best approach of integrating it with my project, wrappers or converting to C++, etc. and finally a BMX mod/interface I already tested the java libraries by creating standalone apks using ant/android tools and it works perfectly. Any ideas where to start? Currently I found these tools: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jace/ (foss) http://www.codemesh.com/products/junction/ (paid) |

| It depends on your project. I don't think anyone has written any code generators for simplifying the process, yet. These libraries will generate C++ wrappers for the Java/JNI, but then you will need a load of "glue" code to wrap the C++ for BlitzMax. The two options I see would be : 1) Generated pure virtual C++ classes - which NG can use directly via interfaces. 2) Generated JNI/C that BlitzMax could call into directly. Either way, you will need something (like yourself) to make all the BlitzMax wrapping code, since I know of no code generators that do it for you. |
