Description:
A very simple static helper (for Unity) that you can use to call a static Java method in a Java class using Jni
Examples:
int result = CaptiveReality.Jni.Util.StaticCall<int>("getAMethodWhichReturnsInt", 1, "com.yourandroidlib.example.ClassName");
string result = CaptiveReality.Jni.Util.StaticCall<string>("getAMethodWhichReturnsString", "UNKNOWN", "com.yourandroidlib.example.ClassName");
*/
using UnityEngine;
namespace CaptiveReality.Jni
{
class Util
{
/// <summary>
/// StaticCall - Call a static Java method in a class using Jni
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The return type of the method in the class you are calling</typeparam>
/// <param name="methodName">The name of the method you want to call</param>
/// <param name="defaultValue">The value you want to return if there was a problem</param>
/// <param name="androidJavaClass">The name of the Package and Class eg, packagename.myClassName or com.yourandroidlib.example.ClassName</param>
/// <returns>Generic</returns>
public static T StaticCall<T>(string methodName, T defaultValue, string androidJavaClass)
{
T result;
// Only works on Android!
if (Application.platform != RuntimePlatform.Android)

using (AndroidJavaClass androidClass = new AndroidJavaClass(androidJavaClass))

}
else
{
result = defaultValue;
}
}
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
// If there is an exception, do nothing but return the default value
// Uncomment this to see exceptions in Unity Debug Log....
// UnityEngine.Debug.Log(string.Format("{0}.{1} Exception:{2}", androidJavaClass, methodName, ex.ToString() ));
return defaultValue;
