Make toast in Qt android from Java code

[AmrCoder]

I try to use Toast function from java in android using qt 5.6.1
I add the java file in

$PWD/android/src/org/qtproject/example/amr

then i add

QT += androidextras

in the .pro file
the java code

package org.qtproject.example.amr;

import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.content.Context;
import android.widget.Toast;

import org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtApplication;
import org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity;

public class Main extends org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity
{

  public static int getSize()
  {
  return 111;
  }
  public void MakeToast(){
  Toast.makeText(Main.this,"Hello world",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  }

}

the c++ code

#include "widget.h"
#include "ui_widget.h"
#include <QDebug>

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) :
  QWidget(parent),
  ui(new Ui::Widget)
{
  ui->setupUi(this);
}

Widget::~Widget()
{
  delete ui;
}

void Widget::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
  //QAndroidJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("org/qtproject/example/notification/Main", "MakeToast");
// QAndroidJniObject obj;
// obj.callMethod<void>("org/qtproject/example/notification/Main","MakeToast");
  QtAndroid::androidActivity().callMethod<void>("org/qtproject/example/notification/Main","MakeToast");
}

but when i press the button to see the toast i don't get any response for that how to fix that
Thanks

Hi.

First, you need to check your java class name.
Probably it will be "org/qtproject/example/amr/Main" instead of "org/qtproject/example/notification/Main".

See check using QAndroidJniObject::isClassAvailable()

[AmrCoder]

ok i fix it and i check QAndroidJniObject::isClassAvailable() and return true
but when i press button i don't see the toast !

[AmrCoder]

what i have reached

void Widget::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    QtAndroid::androidActivity().callMethod<void>("org/qtproject/example/amr/Main","MakeToast");
    qDebug() << "class avalible = " << QAndroidJniObject::isClassAvailable("org/qtproject/example/amr/Main"); // return true
}

@AmrCoder said in Make toast in Qt android from Java code:

Toast.makeText(Main.this,"Hello world",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

JNI calls made from C++ are running in the Qt thread. But Toast.makeText() must be called from the Android UI thread.
This should be visible by a thrown exception in the console output.

So either you change your Java code to run on the UI thread or you use Qt 5.7 to make the call explicitly on the UI thread:

void showToast(const QString &message, Duration duration = LONG) {
    // all the magic must happen on Android UI thread
    QtAndroid::runOnAndroidThread([message, duration] {
        QAndroidJniObject javaString = QAndroidJniObject::fromString(message);
        QAndroidJniObject toast = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("android/widget/Toast", "makeText",
                                                                            "(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;I)Landroid/widget/Toast;",
                                                                            QtAndroid::androidActivity().object(),
                                                                            javaString.object(),
                                                                            jint(duration));
        toast.callMethod<void>("show");
    });
}

Thank you very much i install qt 5.7 and use this function it works

@AmrCoder

This introduces a different way using Java... like your code.

// in your java code

[...]
import android.os.Handler;
[...]

private Handler     handler = new Handler();

public void MakeToast() {
    handler.post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run () {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello world", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    });
}

[...]

// in your main.cpp

void Widget::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    QtAndroid::androidActivity().callMethod<void>("MakeToast");
}

[AmrCoder]

i didn't work for me this my full java class

package org.qtproject.example.amr;

import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.widget.*;

public class Main extends org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity
{
    private Handler     handler = new Handler();

    public void MakeToast() {
        handler.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run () {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello world", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }
}

what i do wrong here ?

I created Qt package for Android Toast.
You can test after download the package from this link.
