Android Question expected receiver of type com.tutego.jrtf.Rtf, but got java.lang

[somed3v3loper]

Hello all,

Why am I getting this error while trying to use jRTF library ?

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: expected receiver of type com.tutego.jrtf.Rtf, but got java.lang.Class<com.tutego.jrtf.Rtf>

Here is my code

Sub jrtf2java
    Dim mjrtf As JavaObject
    mjrtf.InitializeStatic("com.tutego.jrtf.Rtf")
    Dim RtfText As JavaObject
    RtfText.InitializeStatic("com.tutego.jrtf.RtfText")   
    RtfText.RunMethodjo("bold",Array( "Hello RTF")).RunMethod("toString",Null)
    Dim writer As JavaObject
    writer.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.FileWriter",Array(File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal,"mout.doc"),False))
    mjrtf.RunMethodJO("out",Array(writer))
End Sub

The error is raised on the last line
mjrtf.RunMethodJO("out",Array(writer))

Please tell me in as much details as possible .

Thanks in advance

Are you calling a static method?

Are you calling a static method?

I am not sure .
Here is a copy of library documentation :

• out
  public void out(java.lang.Appendable out)
  Writes the RTF document and send the output to an Appendable. This method closes the Appendable after writing if its of type Closeable.
  Parameters:
  out - Destination of this RTF output.

• out
  public java.lang.CharSequence out()
  Returns the RTF document as a CharSequence.
  Returns:
  The RTF document.

You need to create a new object with JavaObject.InitializeNewInstance.

You need to create a new object with JavaObject.InitializeNewInstance.

I got this error java.lang.IllegalAccessException: access to constructor not allowed

when changing to

mjrtf.InitializeNewInstance("com.tutego.jrtf.Rtf",Null)

Sorry Erel .
It was me missing some method

Now this code should work with no problem

Sub jrtf2java
    Dim mjrtf As JavaObject
    mjrtf.InitializeStatic("com.tutego.jrtf.Rtf")
    Dim RtfText As JavaObject
    RtfText.InitializeStatic("com.tutego.jrtf.RtfText")   
    RtfText.RunMethodjo("bold",Array( "Hello RTF")).RunMethod("toString",Null)
    Dim writer As JavaObject
    writer.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.FileWriter",Array(File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal,"mout.doc"),False))
    mjrtf.RunMethodJO("rtf",Null).RunMethodJO("out",Array As Object(writer))
End Sub
