Get object from an object with JNI in C

Question

public class Student
{
   private People people;
   private Result result;
   private int amount;
}

Here is the sample of the class in Java; in C, I tried to get the "people" in "Student", but I failed. However, I am able to get int type "amount" from "Student".

jobject getObjectFromObject(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, const char * fieldName)
{
    jfieldID fid; /* store the field ID */
    jobject i;

    /* Get a reference to obj's class */
    jclass cls = (*env)->GetObjectClass(env, obj);

    /* Look for the instance field s in cls */
    fid = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, cls, fieldName, "L");
    if (fid == NULL)
    {
        return 0; /* failed to find the field */
    }

    /* Read the instance field s */
    i = (*env)->GetObjectField(env, obj, fid);

    return i;
}

I am trying to pass "people" as a fieldName into the method, but it still gives the following error: "java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: people"

Solution

As documented here, in the GetFieldID method you can't use "L" alone as a type signature, you have to specify the class name after that.

For example if you want to specify that the argument is a String, you'll have to use Ljava/lang/String; (The final semicolon is part of the signature!).

For your custom class named People, supposing it's in the package your.package.name, you'll have to use Lyour/package/name/People; as a type signature.

i have fix the type signature by passing the package name.But still unable to fix my issue

[user1151874]

fid = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, cls, fieldName, "LCalculateResult/src/student/jni/Student;"); still unable to find, should i put the inner class"People" or "Student", but i tried both also failed. I just realise both project is different path, how it able to locate it?

You have to use the package name, not the path.

Look into your People.java file, it must start with something like package your.package.name;. Convert the dots to "/" and you'll have a valid type signature. If People is an inner class of Student, I think you'll have to separate the "external" class from the inner class using a $ : use Lyour/package/name/Student$People;

package test.jni.bean; code these is my package name, so i converted into fid = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, cls, fieldName, "Ltest/jni/bean/Student$People;"); code but still java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: people

[user1151874]

anyways i fixed my issue,codefid = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, cls, fieldName, "Ltest/jni/bean/People;"); code just give the package of the class, forget the outer class of "Student"
