I'm not sure if this is possible with Java, but I'm trying to implement an interface that's unavailable at compile time** and pass it to another class as an object of that interface. Let's say I have an interface like:
public interface MyInterface {
void onReceive(int i);
}
and another class like:
public void MyClass {
ArrayList<MyInterface> listenerList = new ArrayList<MyInterface>();
public void add(MyInterface m) {
listenerList.add(m);
}
}
If they were available at compile time, I would be using them like:
blah = new MyInterface() {
public void onReceive(int i) {
System.out.println("BLAH");
}
}
MyClass mc = new MyClass();
myClass.add(blah);
I'm wondering if there is a way to write code that does the same as above if the first two classes are only available at runtime.
Thanks in advance!
**I'm trying to use a framework library from Android's ROM, but it is in dalvik bytecode so I can't use it for compilation.
UPDATE: Here's some sample code I used to test the solution:
File a/IIMSListener.java
// Excerpt from decompiled class
public interface IIMSListener
{
void onReceive(int p0, int p1/*, IMSParameter p2*/);
}
File a/IMSRemoteListenerStub.java
// Excerpt from decompiled class
import java.util.concurrent.*;
import java.util.*;
public class IMSRemoteListenerStub
{
public List<IIMSListener> mListenerList = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<IIMSListener>();
public boolean addListener(final IIMSListener iimsListener) {
if (iimsListener != null && !this.mListenerList.contains(iimsListener)) {
this.mListenerList.add(iimsListener);
return true;
}
return false;
}
public boolean removeListener(final IIMSListener iimsListener) {
if (iimsListener != null && this.mListenerList.contains(iimsListener)) {
this.mListenerList.remove(iimsListener);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
File b/test.java
import java.lang.reflect.; import java.util.;
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IllegalAccessException,
IllegalArgumentException,
InvocationTargetException,
NoSuchMethodException,
SecurityException,
ClassNotFoundException {
// Implement interface
Class<?> IIMSListener = Class.forName("IIMSListener");
Object listenerInstance = Proxy.newProxyInstance(IIMSListener.getClassLoader(), new Class<?>[]{IIMSListener}, new InvocationHandler() {
@Override
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args) throws Throwable {
if(method.getName().equals("onReceive")){
System.out.println("ARGS: " + (Integer)args[0] + ", " + (Integer)args[1]);
return 1;
}
else return -1;
}
});
// Test
Method onReceive = listenerInstance.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("onReceive", new Class[] { int.class, int.class });
onReceive.invoke(listenerInstance, new Object[] { 1, 2 });
try {
// Pass to another class
Class IMSRemoteListenerStub = Class.forName("IMSRemoteListenerStub");
Constructor ctor = IMSRemoteListenerStub.getConstructor();
Object stubInstance = ctor.newInstance(new Object[] {});
Method addListener = stubInstance.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("addListener", new Class[] { IIMSListener });
addListener.invoke(stubInstance, new Object[] { listenerInstance });
// Test
Field mListenerList = IMSRemoteListenerStub.getField("mListenerList");
List<?> list = (List<?>)mListenerList.get(stubInstance);
onReceive.invoke(list.get(0), new Object[] { 3, 4 });
}
catch (InstantiationException e) {}
catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {}
}
