Java bindings #265

Open KlemenDEV opened 10 months ago

KlemenDEV commented 10 months ago

It would be neat to have Java bindings for this library. There is currently no BLE desktop Java library to my knowledge.

JNA/SWIG/JNR-FFI could be used to achieve this.

Originally this was a comment at #121 but moved to a separate ticket.

I have started to work on Java bindings, but am currently stuck at #267

@KlemenDEV Just like you, I am also developing Java bindings. If you don’t mind, I would like to contribute to your development work. Could you please share with me the URL of your repository?

I would love this! Any work in progress that I can take a look at?

@KlemenDEV how did you go with Java bindings? I have made good progress, but am currently stuck on passing my user-defined structs to the simpleble_peripheral_write_command function. Any assistance would be appreciated!

KlemenDEV commented 5 months ago

The project got a bit stuck because it is currently not the priority at the company I was working on those bindings for

No worries, I will post up my repo so others can critique it - it's close I think but I'm not implementing the Pointers correctly I think with JNI-FFI (for function calls using structs)

L4m4L commented 5 months ago

Here's where I have gotten up to, very messy at the moment but not sure if it is similar to where you left off?

If I can get something to work I will definitely update this code and share it with SimpleBLE

Hi @KlemenDEV, I finally got Java bindings to work using Java Native Access. The weirdest thing was that I needed to change the parameter order for "simpleble_peripheral_write_command" in order for it to work...? So I think JNA was mixing up calling conventions somewhere along the way, so it may not be that stable.

Anyway, the code is here. Happy for questions/comments/feedback!
