SDL_AndroidGetActivity
Use this function to retrieve the Java instance of the activity class in an Android application.
Syntax
void* SDL_AndroidGetActivity(void)
Return Value
Returns the jobject representing the instance of the Activity class of the Android application, or NULL on error.
The jobject returned by the function is a local reference and must be released by the caller. See the PushLocalFrame() and PopLocalFrame() or DeleteLocalRef() functions of the Java native interface (in Oracle's documentation).
Code Examples
#include "SDL.h"
#include <jni.h>
// Calls the void showHome() method of the Java instance of the activity.
void showHome(void)
{
// retrieve the JNI environment.
JNIEnv* env = (JNIEnv*)SDL_AndroidGetJNIEnv();
// retrieve the Java instance of the SDLActivity
jobject activity = (jobject)SDL_AndroidGetActivity();
// find the Java class of the activity. It should be SDLActivity or a subclass of it.
jclass clazz(env->GetObjectClass(activity));
// find the identifier of the method to call
jmethodID method_id = env->GetMethodID(clazz, "showHome", "()V");
// effectively call the Java method
env->CallVoidMethod(activity, method_id);
// clean up the local references.
env->DeleteLocalRef(activity);
env->DeleteLocalRef(clazz);
}
Remarks
The prototype of the function in SDL's code actually declares a void* return type, even if the implementation returns a jobject. The rationale being that it allows not to include jni.h in the headers of the SDL.
Version
This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
