Xposed findClass() returning java.lang.Class

Question

I am trying to hook a method inside the Always-On Display code for OnePlus phones, but when I use XposedHelpers.findClass() it ends up returning java.lang.Class, and as such returns a noSuchMethodError.

Call code:

findAndHookMethod("com.oneplus.aod.OpAodThreeKeyStatusView", lpparam.classLoader, "onThreeKeyChanged", "int", new XC_MethodHook() {
  @Override
  protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
  XposedHelpers.callMethod((XposedHelpers.findClass("com.oneplus.aod.OpAodDisplayViewManager", lpparam.classLoader)), "startDozing");
  }
});

I'm trying to call "com.oneplus.aod.OpAodDisplayViewManager" which I know exists because I extracted the APK from my own phone. However, it returns java.lang.Class and then returns that the method "startDozing" doesn't exist.

Answer 1

Since XposedHelpers.findClass() returns java.lang.Class, the solution was to instantiate a new Object like so:

Object displayManager = "com.oneplus.aod.OpAodDisplayViewManager"

and then call the method using that object rather than the findClass() function
