Get the pointer of a Java ByteBuffer though JNI


How can I get a pointer to the inner array of a Java ByteBuffer?

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL test(JNIEnv *env, jobject thiso) {
    jclass cls = env->FindClass("java/nio/ByteBuffer");
    jmethodID aloc = env->GetStaticMethodID(cls, "allocateDirect", "(I)Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;");
    jobject obj = env->CallStaticObjectMethod(cls, aloc, 1000);
}

PS: I'm doing that to share the memory used by Java and C++.


Solution

  • void * data = env->GetDirectBufferAddress(obj);
    

    The ByteBuffer must be a direct one for this to work.
