Question

So i have been looking into JNI calls so i can interact with some pre written C++ programs, i dont know any C++ but am trying to learn some basics. I have just been trying to do a simple call to a method outside my JNI method but always get the following error:

error c3861 ‘myMethod’: identifier not found

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "StringFuncs.h"    

JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_StringFuncs_changeWord(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jstring inStr, jint inLen) 
{
    const char *inString;

    inString = env->GetStringUTFChars(inStr, NULL);


    char otherString[40];
    strcpy_s(otherString,inString);

    if(myMethod())
    {
        memset(otherString, '-', inLen);
    }

    jstring newString = env->NewStringUTF((const char*)otherString);
    return newString;
}

bool myMethod()
{
    return true;
}

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

Any words of wisdome?

Answer 1

You have to declare your methods before you call them. So in your header type
bool myMethod();

Or you can move the code above your _changeWord function, then the declaration/definition is in one.
