Question

In java I have:

public class MyClass{

    public enum STATUS {
        ZERO,
        ONE ,
        TWO
    }

    public native STATUS nativeGetStatus();

    ...

    private STATUS state = nativeGetStatus(); //returns enum
    private STATUS state2 = nativeGetStatus(); //returns enum 

}

I want native method ‘nativeGetStatus’ to return this enum value.

JNI returning integer and comparing with value of enum in java is an option, but was wondering is it possible to return value via jobject and assign it directly to state ? if yes how?

Answer 1

Of course, you can do it. Enum values are public static fields of Enum class, so you can use this official manual to write the code. Just get the field from JNI and return it as jobject.
