Detect if app installed or not, not return false

Question

I have try to call java from jni, is not working, what am i doing wrong.

#include <jni.h>

    extern "C" {
    JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL Java_com_mycompany_myndkapp_HelloJni_stringFromJNI(JNIEnv* env, jobject thiz, jstring pkg)
    {

        try{

    //   context
    jclass native_context = env->GetObjectClass(thiz);

    // context.getPackageManager()
    jmethodID methodID_func = env->GetMethodID(native_context, "getPackageManager", "()Landroid/content/pm/PackageManager;");
    jobject package_manager  = env->CallObjectMethod(thiz,methodID_func);
    jclass pm_clazz = env->GetObjectClass(package_manager);

    //packageManager.getPackageInfo()
    jmethodID methodId_pm = env->GetMethodID(pm_clazz,"getPackageInfo","(Ljava/lang/String;I)Landroid/content/pm/PackageInfo;");

    env->CallObjectMethod(package_manager,methodId_pm,pkg,0);
     } catch(...)
     {
         return 0;
     }

    return 1;
     }
    }

if app is installed return true but app is not installed force close my app.

How can i fix and return false app is not installed?

Answer 1

C++'s try/catch does not catch Java exceptions. What you need is ExceptionCheck and ExceptionClear:

env->CallObjectMethod(package_manager, methodId_pm, pkg, 0);
if (env->ExceptionCheck()) {
    env->ExceptionClear();
    return 0;
}
return 1;

(Note that you should use these for every JNI call that could result in a Java exception being thrown)
