Rhino for Android


I am trying to use rhino in my android project following this. I dawnloaded Rhino and added js.jar in lib.
Here is my MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ...

        Context rhino = Context.enter();
//        try{                     // I commented it to catch the error
            rhino.setLanguageVersion(Context.VERSION_1_2);
            Scriptable scope = rhino.initStandardObjects();
            Object result=rhino.evaluateString(scope, 
                           "obj={a:1,b:['x','y']}", "MySource", 1, 
                            null);       // This line cannot be compiled

            Scriptable obj = (Scriptable)scope.get("obj",scope);
            Log.i("JS","obj " + (obj == result ? "==" : "!=") +" result");

            Log.i("js","obj.a == " + obj.get("a", obj));


            Scriptable b = (Scriptable) obj.get("b", obj);
//        }catch (Exception e){
//            Log.e("js","Exception.....");
//        }
     }
}

Logcat:

It is complately based on the sample project but I dont undrestand why it doesn't compile.


Solution

  • I fixed it (and post the answere maybe it's helpful for you)
    The project linked in the question is not for Android application.
    To compile it in android, you should set the optimizationLevel of your Context to -1: rhino.setOptimizationLevel(-1);

    and it works!
