I am able to follow a jni tutorial just fine. But when I change the method name, I run into trouble. Is there a naming convention I need to follow? The tutorial used HelloJNI as the module name, and library name. I used "useaaacom".
I got great feedback on this and i am making progress. I have a related question; let me know if I should create another post for it. I like to build on this app, which runs at this point. How do I call functions from a device driver? I have the header file, and the driver is loaded into my image. By "how" I mean, do I need to have a copy of the header file in my project? This device driver is vendor implemented, i.e. it is not part of AOSP. I do have a copy of it since I downloaded the entire open source project and built it. So what I am asking is what do I need in my apk for the app to call the functions which are part of an active device driver?
Let me know if I should explain any part of it more, or I need to post the header file or ....
I already verified that I can open a device driver with the following lines of code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
/* Our file descriptor */
int fd;
int rc = 0;
char *rd_buf[16];
printf("%s: entered\n", argv[0]);
/* Open the device */
fd = open("/dev/hello1", O_RDWR);
if ( fd == -1 ) {
perror("open failed");
rc = fd;
exit(-1);
}
printf("%s: open: successful\n", argv[0]);
/* Issue a read */
rc = read(fd, rd_buf, 0);
if ( rc == -1 ) {
perror("read failed");
close(fd);
exit(-1);
}
printf("%s: read: returning %d bytes!\n", argv[0], rc);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
I think I need to add the above code to my jni folder in the form of a .c source file, and call the functions in my device driver header file from this file? You may have noticed that the above code is for a test device driver called "hello1". I am gonna change the name to my targeted device driver.
