Returning a struct from an Air Native extension

问题

Is it possible to return a struct from your native code? It's relatively straight forward to return an int or a boolean but how do you return a more complex struct back to the actionscript?

回答1:

You can return any object that can be represented in the native code as a FREObject. This actually includes any Actionscript class or Actionscript primitive data type. This includes things like: int, String, Array, BitmapData, ByteArray etc.

For example lets construct a return array of length 4 with the int values 0 - 3:

FREObject returnAnArray( FREContext cts, void* funcData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
{
    FREObject returnArray = NULL;
    FRENewObject((const uint8_t*)"Array", 0, NULL, &returnArray, nil );
    FRESetArrayLength( returnArray, 4 );

    for ( int32_t i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    {
        FREObject element;
        FRENewObjectFromUint32( i, element );
        FRESetArrayElementAt( returnArray, i, element );
    }
    return returnArray;
}

The method to construct Actionscript classes is a little more complex but follows a similar path. This is ofcourse a native C example, the Java equivalent is somewhat different but still it is possible to return complex objects from the native code.

The accepted answer is not accurate for your original question. You want to return a struct... well you can't actually do that but the proper way to do this is to write your native struct/class as an actionscript class, then use the ExtensionContext object to associate your native struct or class pointer with your context. Then when you can write methods into your struct/class that will directly interface with methods and properties within. If any of the methods within return another struct or class, repeat the process recursively.

Java examples

Returning Array

FREObject stringElement = FREObject.newObject("String element value"); 
FREArray array = FREArray.newArray( "String", 1, false ); 
array.setObjectAt( 0, stringElement );
//now you can return array to AS3

Also consider using JSON

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();

try
{
    jsonObject.put("messgae", "Hello");
    jsonObject.put("name", "John");
}
catch (JSONException e)
{
}

FREObject jsonString FREObject.newObject(jsonObject.toString());
//now you can return jsonString to AS3

Return value from finished process is limited to an int. But you can write data to stdout and read it in your AIR application:

p = new NativeProcess();
p.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);

private function onOutputData(evt:ProgressEvent):void {
    var outputData:String = p.standardOutput.readUTFBytes(p.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);
    trace(outputData);
}

StandardOutput implements IDataOut interface like ByteArray, so you can read any basic types from it. See also NativeProcess docs.
