Java Native Interface with Eclipse and Android - Presented by Jeff Lawson.

The Java Native Interface (JNI) enables Java developers to make use of C libraries for high-performance functions such as telephony, sound and graphics. JNI enables developers to re-use their existing C/C++-based software and opens up the opportunity to use the C/C++ libraries developed by the company or organisation they work for.

This event provides broad and detailed coverage of JNI across all platforms and specifically for the Android NDK. This is a how-to presentation with fully working code samples and turn-key instructions for implementing all aspects of JNI listed below.

The presentation will be delivered using slides and live code demos.

The following subjects will be covered:

• What is JNI and why use it?
• Writing C functions and C++ methods callable from Java
• Mapping strings and other data types
• Writing callbacks into Java
• Exception handling
• Memory management
• Threading
• SWIG
• Using standard C libraries
• Using open source shared libraries, e.g. OpenJPEG
• Adding native code libraries to JAR files
• JNI with the Android NDK
• Targeting multiple processor architectures
• Using native APIs, e.g. OpenSL ES in Android 2.3
• Debugging native code in Eclipse

All slides and codes samples will be provided to attendees.

Who should attend:

Developers wishing to gain a good understanding of the Java Native Interface plus the Android NDK.

This event assumes that attendees are Java developers with at least a passing acquaintance with C/C++. Attendees are assumed to have no experience of JNI.

Bio:

Jeff Lawson is a Java / C / C++ / Obj-C developer who works for an international telco. He wrote his first JNI-based product, a JNDI service provider, in 2001. He now uses JNI as a crucial and extensive part of his Android telephony development.
