Android: How to broadcast intent from native code?

Question

Is it possible to broadcast an Intent from native code? If so, is there documentation and/or sample code pertaining to the relevant APIs?

Answer 1

You will need to call it by calling the Java API function - there is no JNI interface for intents.

First look up the class for Intent, then look up the methods for constructing intents and broadcasting them, and call them.

EDIT: Here is an incomplete example. jniEnv is passed into all your JNI functions.

jclass activityClass = jniEnv->FindClass("android/app/Activity");
jmethodID startAcitivtyMethod = jniEnv->GetMethodID(activityClass , "startActivity", "(Landroid/content/Intent;)V");
jniEnv->CallVoidMethod(yourActivityObject, startAcitivityMethod, yourIntentObject);
