Method Detail

invoke

NativeInvocation invoke(String methodName,
                        InvocationArg... args)

Invokes a method of the instance of the class that is set for this NativeInvocation

Parameters:

methodName - The method name

args - The arguments to use for invoking the method

Returns:

A NativeInvocation instance containing the result of the invocation

invokeStatic

NativeInvocation invokeStatic(String methodName,
                              InvocationArg... args)

Invokes a static method of the class that is set for this NativeInvocation

Parameters:

methodName - The static method name

args - The arguments to use for invoking the static method

Returns:

A NativeInvocation instance containing the result of the invocation

invokeAsync

void invokeAsync(long functionPointerAddress,
                 String methodName,
                 InvocationArg... args)

Invokes asynchronously a method of the instance of the class that is set for this NativeInvocation. The result of the invocation should be provided later using the performCallback method of a NativeCallbackSupport class. Any possible returned objects from the actual synchronous invocation of the defined method will be dropped.

Parameters:

functionPointerAddress - The address of the function pointer that will be used later in the native side in order to actually paerform the callback.

methodName - The method name

args - The arguments to use when invoking the callback method (the functionPointer)

cast

static <T> NativeInvocation cast(NativeInvocation from,
                                 String toClass)

Casts a the object that is contained in a NativeInvocation to an object of class clazz.

Type Parameters:

T - Generically defined return type

Parameters:

from - The NativeInvocation to cast.

toClass - The class that the provided NativeInvocation should be casted to

Returns:

A NativeInvocation instance containing the result of the cast.
