al_android_get_jni_env(3)

NAME

al_android_get_jni_env - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

    #include <allegro5/allegro_android.h>
    JNIEnv *al_android_get_jni_env(void)

DESCRIPTION

Returns the Android JNI environment used by Allegro to call into Java. As a convenience this function provides it to the user so there is no need to obtain it yourself.

For example if you have a Java method “void send(String message)” in your activity class, you could call it like this from C code:

    JNIEnv * env = al_android_get_jni_env();
    jclass class_id = (* env)->GetObjectClass(env, al_android_get_activity());
    jmethodID method_id = (* env)->GetMethodID(env, class_id, "send",
        "(Ljava/lang/String;)V");
    jstring jdata = (* env)->NewStringUTF(env, "Hello Java!");
    (* env)->CallVoidMethod(env, al_android_get_activity(), method_id, jdata);
    (* env)->DeleteLocalRef(env, jdata);
