Is it possible to access Dalvik VM from native code

Question

I\'d like to be able to target the Dalvik VM using native code in Android. This means using native classes that are listed in platform/dalvik under android sources repositories.

Answer 1

You can use JNI FindClass() to find any private class of the framework, and find and call its methods the usual JNI way. But dvmLockObject() is not a method of Sync class. It is part of the dalvik native libraries. You can call it as a usual C function from your code. You will link to libdvm.so, as to any other system library.

But I don't know what useful purpose there can be in calling this function.
