MainActivity.getInstance();

Help
#1

I’ve been using -Dlegacy for a while but not JNI is introduced into the new android build i was hoping to move before -Dlegacy option gets abandoned.

The way i’ve been using JNI is to use modified templates for my android build and extending org.haxe.lime.GameActivity

then for example on a google share running this via jni

public static void googleShare(final String url, final String fallback, final String text, final String pic) {
Activity currentActivity = MainActivity.getInstance();

    if(appInstalled(currentActivity, "com.google.android.apps.plus"))
    {
        try {

			Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
			intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, url+"?p="+pic);
			intent.setType("text/plain");
			intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus");
			currentActivity.startActivity(intent);

			return;
        } catch( Exception e) {
        }
    }

    Intent web = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(fallback));
    currentActivity.startActivity(web);
}

As well as using it to call adverts for certain games at certain points.

How can i do this with the new lime/openfl as there doesn’t seem to be a MainActivity.getInstance() any more.

If you’re extending GameActivity, then you can add a getInstance() function of your own.

Try using the mainActivity static field from org.haxe.extension.Extension

https://github.com/openfl/lime/blob/develop/dependencies/extension-api/src/org/haxe/extension/Extension.java

It should be compatible with both legacy and current versions of OpenFL :slight_smile:
