Detailed Description

The QJniObject class wraps a reference to a Java object, ensuring it isn't gargage-collected and providing access to most JNIEnv method calls (member, static) and fields (setter, getter). It eliminates much boiler-plate that would normally be needed, with direct JNI access, for every operation, including exception-handling.

Note: This API has been designed and tested for use with Android. It has not been tested for other platforms.

General Notes

  • Class names need to be fully-qualified, for example: "java/lang/String".
  • Method signatures are written as "(ArgumentsTypes)ReturnType", see JNI Types.
  • All object types are returned as a QJniObject.

Method Signatures

QJniObject provides convenience functions that will use the correct signature based on the provided template types. For functions that only return and take JNI types, the signature can be generate at compile time:

jint x = QJniObject::callMethod<jint>("getSize");
QJniObject::callMethod<void>("touch");
jint ret = jString1.callMethod<jint>("compareToIgnoreCase", jString2.object<jstring>());

These functions are variadic templates, and the compiler will deduce the template arguments from the actual argument types. In many situations, only the return type needs to be provided explicitly.

For functions that take other argument types, you need to supply the signature yourself. It is important that the signature matches the function you want to call. The example below demonstrates how to call different static functions:

// Java class
package org.qtproject.qt;
class TestClass
{
    static TestClass create() { ... }
    static String fromNumber(int x) { ... }
    static String[] stringArray(String s1, String s2) { ... }
}

The signature structure is "(ArgumentsTypes)ReturnType". Array types in the signature must have the [ prefix, and the fully-qualified Object type names must have the L prefix and the ; suffix. The signature for the create function is "()Lorg/qtproject/qt/TestClass;. The signatures for the second and third functions are "(I)Ljava/lang/String;" and "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)[Ljava/lang/String;", respectively.

We can call the create() function like this:

// C++ code
QJniObject testClass = QJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("org/qtproject/qt/TestClass",
                                                          "create",
                                                          "()Lorg/qtproject/qt/TestClass;");

For the second and third function we can rely on QJniObject's template methods to create the implicit signature string, but we can also pass the signature string explicitly:

// C++ code
QJniObject stringNumber = QJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("org/qtproject/qt/TestClass",
                                                             "fromNumber",
                                                             "(I)Ljava/lang/String;", 10);

For the implicit signature creation to work we need to specify the return type explicitly:

// C++ code
QJniObject string1 = QJniObject::fromString("String1");
QJniObject string2 = QJniObject::fromString("String2");
QJniObject stringArray = QJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod<jstringArray>(
                                                            "org/qtproject/qt/TestClass",
                                                            "stringArray"
                                                            string1.object<jstring>(),
                                                            string2.object<jstring>());

Note that while he first template parameter specifies the return type of the Java function, the method will still return a QJniObject.

Handling Java Exception

After calling Java functions that might throw exceptions, it is important to check for, handle and clear out any exception before continuing. All QJniObject functions handle exceptions internally by reporting and clearing them, saving client code the need to handle exceptions.

Note: The user must handle exceptions manually when doing JNI calls using JNIEnv directly. It is unsafe to make other JNI calls when exceptions are pending. For more information, see QJniEnvironment::checkAndClearExceptions().

Java Native Methods

Java native methods makes it possible to call native code from Java, this is done by creating a function declaration in Java and prefixing it with the native keyword. Before a native function can be called from Java, you need to map the Java native function to a native function in your code. Mapping functions can be done by calling QJniEnvironment::registerNativeMethods().

The example below demonstrates how this could be done.

Java implementation:

class FooJavaClass
{
    public static void foo(int x)
    {
        if (x < 100)
            callNativeOne(x);
        else
            callNativeTwo(x);
    }

private static native void callNativeOne(int x);
private static native void callNativeTwo(int x);

}

C++ Implementation:

static void fromJavaOne(JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz, jint x)
{
    Q_UNUSED(env);
    Q_UNUSED(thiz);
    qDebug() << x << "< 100";
}

static void fromJavaTwo(JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz, jint x)
{
    Q_UNUSED(env);
    Q_UNUSED(thiz);
    qDebug() << x << ">= 100";
}

void foo()
{
    // register the native methods first, ideally it better be done with the app start
    const JNINativeMethod methods[] =
                {{"callNativeOne", "(I)V", reinterpret_cast<void *>(fromJavaOne)},
                 {"callNativeTwo", "(I)V", reinterpret_cast<void *>(fromJavaTwo)}};
    QJniEnvironment env;
    env.registerNativeMethods("my/java/project/FooJavaClass", methods, 2);

    // Call the java method which will calls back to the C++ functions
    QJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("my/java/project/FooJavaClass", "foo", "(I)V", 10);  // Output: 10 < 100
    QJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("my/java/project/FooJavaClass", "foo", "(I)V", 100); // Output: 100 >= 100
}

The Lifetime of a Java Object

Most objects received from Java will be local references and will only stay valid until you return from the native method. After that, the object becomes eligible for garbage collection. If your code creates many local references in a loop you should delete them manually with each iteration, otherwise you might run out of memory. For more information, see JNI Design Overview: Global and Local References. Local references created outside a native method scope must be deleted manually, since the garbage collector will not free them automatically because we are using AttachCurrentThread. For more information, see JNI tips: Local and global references.

If you want to keep a Java object alive you need to either create a new global reference to the object and release it when you are done, or construct a new QJniObject and let it manage the lifetime of the Java object.

Note: The QJniObject only manages its own references, if you construct a QJniObject from a global or local reference that reference will not be released by the QJniObject.

Member Function Documentation

QJniObject::QJniObject()

Constructs an invalid JNI object.

See also isValid().

[explicit] QJniObject::QJniObject(const char *className)

Constructs a new JNI object by calling the default constructor of className.

QJniObject myJavaString("java/lang/String");

[explicit] QJniObject::QJniObject(const char *className, const char *signature, ...)

Constructs a new JNI object by calling the constructor of className with signature specifying the types of any subsequent arguments.

QJniEnvironment env;
char* str = "Hello";
jstring myJStringArg = env->NewStringUTF(str);
QJniObject myNewJavaString("java/lang/String", "(Ljava/lang/String;)V", myJStringArg);

[explicit, since 6.4] template <typename Args> QJniObject::QJniObject(const char *className, Args &&... args)

Constructs a new JNI object by calling the constructor of className with the arguments args. This constructor is only available if all args are known JNI Types.

QJniEnvironment env;
char* str = "Hello";
jstring myJStringArg = env->NewStringUTF(str);
QJniObject myNewJavaString("java/lang/String", myJStringArg);

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

[explicit] QJniObject::QJniObject(jclass clazz)

Constructs a new JNI object by calling the default constructor of clazz.

Note: The QJniObject will create a new reference to the class clazz and releases it again when it is destroyed. References to the class created outside the QJniObject need to be managed by the caller.

[explicit] QJniObject::QJniObject(jclass clazz, const char *signature, ...)

Constructs a new JNI object from clazz by calling the constructor with signature specifying the types of any subsequent arguments.

QJniEnvironment env;
jclass myClazz = env.findClass("org/qtproject/qt/TestClass");
QJniObject(myClazz, "(I)V", 3);

[explicit, since 6.4] template <typename Args> QJniObject::QJniObject(jclass clazz, Args &&... args)

Constructs a new JNI object from clazz by calling the constructor with the arguments args. This constructor is only available if all args are known JNI Types.

QJniEnvironment env;
jclass myClazz = env.findClass("org/qtproject/qt/TestClass");
QJniObject(myClazz, 3);

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

QJniObject::QJniObject(jobject object)

Constructs a new JNI object around the Java object object.

Note: The QJniObject will hold a reference to the Java object object and release it when destroyed. Any references to the Java object object outside QJniObject needs to be managed by the caller. In most cases you should never call this function with a local reference unless you intend to manage the local reference yourself. See QJniObject::fromLocalRef() for converting a local reference to a QJniObject.

See also fromLocalRef().

QJniObject::~QJniObject()

Destroys the JNI object and releases any references held by the JNI object.

To keep the object alive beyond the lifetime of this QJniObject, for example to record it for later use, the easiest approach is to store it in another QJniObject with a suitable lifetime. Alternatively, you may create a new global reference to the object and store it, taking care to free it when you are done with it.

void functionScope()
{
    QString helloString("Hello");
    jstring myJString = 0;
    {
        QJniObject string = QJniObject::fromString(helloString);

    }

   // Ops! myJString is no longer valid.
}

[since 6.2] jclass QJniObject::objectClass() const

Returns the class object held by the QJniObject as a jclass.

Note: The returned object is still kept alive by this QJniObject. To keep the object alive beyond the lifetime of this QJniObject, for example to record it for later use, the easiest approach is to store it in another QJniObject with a suitable lifetime. Alternatively, you may create a new global reference to the object and store it, taking care to free it when you are done with it.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

template <typename T> void QJniObject::setField(const char *fieldName, T value)

Sets the value of fieldName to value.

QJniObject obj;
obj.setField<jint>("AN_INT_FIELD", 10);
jstring myString = ...;
obj.setField<jstring>("A_STRING_FIELD", myString);

template <typename T> void QJniObject::setField(const char *fieldName, const char *signature, T value)

Sets the value of fieldName with signature to value.

QJniObject stringArray = ...;
QJniObject obj = ...;
obj.setObjectField<jobjectArray>("KEY_VALUES", "([Ljava/lang/String;)V",
                           stringArray.object<jobjectArray>())

[static] template <typename T> void QJniObject::setStaticField(const char *className, const char *fieldName, T value)

Sets the static field fieldName of the class className to value.

[static] template <typename T> void QJniObject::setStaticField(const char *className, const char *fieldName, const char *signature, T value)

Sets the static field fieldName on the class className to value using the setter with signature.

[static] template <typename T> void QJniObject::setStaticField(jclass clazz, const char *fieldName, const char *signature, T value)

Sets the static field fieldName on the class clazz to value using the setter with signature.

[static] template <typename T> void QJniObject::setStaticField(jclass clazz, const char *fieldName, T value)

Sets the static field fieldName of the class clazz to value.

[static] template <typename Klass, typename T> void QJniObject::setStaticField(const char *fieldName, T value)

Sets the static field fieldName of the class Klass to value.

Klass needs to be a C++ type with a registered type mapping to a Java type.

QString QJniObject::toString() const

Returns a QString with a string representation of the java object. Calling this function on a Java String object is a convenient way of getting the actual string data.

QJniObject string = ...; //  "Hello Java"
QString qstring = string.toString(); // "Hello Java"

See also fromString().

template <typename T> QJniObject &QJniObject::operator=(T object)

Replace the current object with object. The old Java object will be released.

bool operator!=(const QJniObject &o1, const QJniObject &o2)

Returns true if o1 holds a reference to a different object than o2.

bool operator==(const QJniObject &o1, const QJniObject &o2)

Returns true if both objects, o1 and o2, are referencing the same Java object, or if both are NULL. In any other cases false will be returned.
