What are you trying to do? you need to use the CN1 API unless you are doing native interface and that should be done under the native/android dir

I was trying to integrated https://www.applozic.com to a sample app.

Applozic is a native SDK for chat and messaging. I have gradle dependency and .aar file, couldn't figure out how to integrate it.

[Chen Fishbein]

Hi,

Nice sdk!

Take a look at this nice tutorial:

Thanks Chen. Will try it out.

[Gareth Murfin]

use import com.codename1.impl.android.AndroidNativeUtil;

and  AndroidNativeUtil.getActivity()

to get a context.

[Devashish Mamgain]

Hi Gareth,

Netbeans is showing error "package com.codename1.impl.android.AndroidNativeUtil" doesn't exist. Seems like I am missing something. Is there any sample project which ".aar" file imported for integrated 3rd party android sdk?

Hi,
the tutorial Chen linked (which is a part of the developer guide too: https://www.codenameone.com/manual/advanced-topics.html#_integrating_android_3rd_party_libraries_jni ) goes into details of an exact example of integrating a 3rd party native library into Codename One.

Notice that the IDE will report classes not found in the native code since the Android SDK compilation happens in the build servers. The same is true for iOS native code as the IDE doesn't include Objective-C support.

[Devashish Mamgain]

Thanks Shai. I am bit confused on how to do I write code and test it before sending for the build. Do I need to write some code, while Netbeans still shows the error, generate the build for android from Codenameone servers to validate if its working and then repeat the same process again? Also, when I tried to generate the build, it says limit crossed and asking to upgrade the plan, can I first validate if things are working fine and then for a paid plan?

[Gareth Murfin]

You could try writing most of the native code in android studio, when it builds and works move it over to netbeans and swap the contexts for AndroidNativeUtil.getActivity(), then send it off, and hope it works.. if not fix issue, send again.

Hi Devashish,

It would be great (after you succeed with the integration) if you can make a cn1lib that wraps around your library. Your SDK looks interesting; I came across it (among others) while looking at viable options for real-time messaging, a feature that gets asked for quite a lot these days.

If you can make it easier for us to use your SDKs by providing a cn1lib (that's useful for all supported platforms), you'll benefit too via CN1 developers' clients. :)

All the best!

[Devashish Mamgain]

Thanks Chidiebere Yes, we will be making cn1lib soon, we have started getting many requests for Codenameone integration.
