The `[Register]` attribute provides "connector method" names, and for
interface methods this will also include the name of the type which
declares the method, which itself may be in a nested type:
namespace Android.App {
public partial class Application {
public partial interface IActivityLifecycleCallbacks : IJavaObject, IJavaPeerable {
[Register (
name: "onActivityCreated",
signature: "(Landroid/app/Activity;Landroid/os/Bundle;)V",
connector: "GetOnActivityCreated_Landroid_app_Activity_Landroid_os_Bundle_Handler:Android.App.Application/IActivityLifecycleCallbacksInvoker, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null")]
void OnActivityCreated (Android.App.Activity activity, Android.OS.Bundle? savedInstanceState);
// …
}
}
}
The `connector` value is copied as-is into Java Callable Wrappers,
as part of the `__md_methods` value and `Runtime.register()` call.
Given the C# type:
partial class MauiApplication : Application {
partial class ActivityLifecycleCallbacks : Java.Lang.Object, Application.IActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
public void OnActivityCreated (Activity activity, Bundle? savedInstanceState) => …
}
}
then `Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers` will produce:
// Java Callable Wrapper
/* partial */ class MauiApplication_ActivityLifecycleCallbacks
{
public static final String __md_methods;
static {
__md_methods =
// …
"n_onActivityCreated:(Landroid/app/Activity;Landroid/os/Bundle;)V:GetOnActivityCreated_Landroid_app_Activity_Landroid_os_Bundle_Handler:Android.App.Application/IActivityLifecycleCallbacksInvoker, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null\n" +
// …
"";
mono.android.Runtime.register ("Microsoft.Maui.MauiApplication+ActivityLifecycleCallbacks, Microsoft.Maui", MauiApplication_ActivityLifecycleCallbacks.class, __md_methods);
}
}
The `signature` and `connector` values from the `[Register(…)]` on
the method declaration are copied as-is into `__md_methods`.
As the `connector` value contains a `/`, `__md_methods` does as well.
This has worked fine for nearly 15+ years…on Mono/MonoVM.
This *fails* on NativeAOT and CoreCLR, as:
Type.GetType ("Android.App.Application/IActivityLifecycleCallbacksInvoker, Mono.Android, …", throwOnError:true)
fails with:
TypeLoadException: Could not resolve type 'Android.App.Application/IActivityLifecycleCallbacksInvoker' in assembly 'Mono.Android, …'.
The reason for the failure is that when using Reflection APIs such as
`Type.GetType()`, the [`Type.AssemblyQualifiedName` grammar][0] must
be followed, and that grammar uses `+` to "Precede a nested class",
*not* `/`. (`/` isn't even in the Reflection grammar!)
(Aside: where does `/` come from then? It's the *IL* separator for
nested types!)
For eventual CoreCLR and NativeAOT support, then, we need to replace
`/` with `+` *somewhere* before it hits `Type.GetType()`.
There are (at least?) three places to do so:
1. Within `JniRuntime.JniTypeManager.RegisterNativeMembers()` or
equivalent override.
2. Within `generator`, updating the contents of `[Register]`.
3. Within `Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers`.
(1) is rejected out of hand as it would be additional work done on-
device at runtime. Why do that if we don't need to?
(2) was attempted in #1302 & dotnet/android#9750.
It turned into a bit of a boondoggle, because there are lots of
linker steps which interpret the `connector` value on `[Register]`,
and it "just worked" that the `connector` value contained IL names,
as the linker steps deal in IL! Trying to update `connector` to
instead contain Reflection syntax required finding all the places in
the linker that used `connector` values, which was tedious & brittle.
"Just" (2) is also inadequate, as it would require new binding
assemblies to take advantage of, so (2) *also* needed (3).
Which brings us to (3), the current approach: *don't* alter the
semantics of the `connect` value within `[Register]`, and instead
require that `Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers` replace all
instances of `/` with `+` within `__md_methods`. This is needed
*anyway*, for compatibility with existing bindings, and also avoids
lots of pain that (2) encountered.
With this approach, `generator` output is unchanged, and
`jcw-gen` output for `MauiApplication.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks`
becomes:
// Java Callable Wrapper
/* partial */ class MauiApplication_ActivityLifecycleCallbacks
{
public static final String __md_methods;
static {
__md_methods =
// …
"n_onActivityCreated:(Landroid/app/Activity;Landroid/os/Bundle;)V:GetOnActivityCreated_Landroid_app_Activity_Landroid_os_Bundle_Handler:Android.App.Application+IActivityLifecycleCallbacksInvoker, Mono.Android, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null\n" +
// …
"";
mono.android.Runtime.register ("Microsoft.Maui.MauiApplication+ActivityLifecycleCallbacks, Microsoft.Maui", MauiApplication_ActivityLifecycleCallbacks.class, __md_methods);
}
}
