Android Question [SOLVED] Reflection and template argument

[wonder]

SOLVED: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/reflection-and-template-argument.106102/#post-664183

Hi!

This is a Reflection question, so please read-on even if you're not familiar with LibGDX.

With regards to LibGDX, I'm trying to access (with reflection) the "derivativeAt" method of the CatmullRomSpline class, but I'm unfortunately getting a NoSuchMethod exception.

https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/ci/nightlies/docs/api/com/badlogic/gdx/math/CatmullRomSpline.html

LibGDX CatmullRomSpline Source code:
https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/master/gdx/src/com/badlogic/gdx/math/CatmullRomSpline.java

For reference, I tried to access "valueAt", which I'm sure it works:

Dim out As lgMathVector2

'This works!!
preview_spline.ValueAt(out, 0.5)

'This doesn't work!!
Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = preview_spline
r.RunMethod4("valueAt", Array(out, 0.5), Array As String("com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2", "java.lang.float"))

Can anyone please help or point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance!

Try:
r.Target = preview_spline.InternalObject

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply!

Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = preview_spline.InternalObject
r.RunMethod4("valueAt", Array(out, 0.5), Array As String("com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2", "java.lang.float"))

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: valueAt [class com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2, float]

Still the same...

I found the solution!

It seems that for a template type argument, "java.lang.Object" can be used.
Also, for LibGDX the InternalObject member has to be used as well.

Dim out as lgMathVector2
Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = preview_spline.InternalObject
Dim f = 0.5 As Float
r.RunMethod4("valueAt", Array(out, f), Array As String("java.lang.Object", "java.lang.float"))
