JNI: invoke java dialog with native callback:
store native function address in java, and invoke native another method to this function.
key points:
1.Store callback function pointer(address) in java: to support multiple calls, use data block for each call.
2.Use primitive long(64bit) in Java to store native callback pointer, for 64 bit native compatibility
3.intptr_t for pointer in native.
4.Show dialog in UI thread (Activity.runOnUiThread )
5.optional: Let the native code to handle localization (minimize Java code)
Java:
public static native void nativeOnSystemDialogResult(long nativeFuncAddr);
class DialogRunnable implements Runnable {
public String mTitle;
public String mMessage;
public String mYes;
public String mNo;
public long mOnYesAddr;
public long mOnNoAddr;
public boolean mTwoButton;
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///title, message, localized Yes No
DialogRunnable(String tittle, String message, String locYes, String locNo, long onYesAddr, long onNoAddr, boolean twoButton)
{
mTitle = tittle;
mMessage = message;
mYes = locYes;
mNo = locNo;
mOnYesAddr = onYesAddr;
mOnNoAddr = onNoAddr;
mTwoButton = twoButton;
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
public void run() {
if( mTwoButton ) {
Dialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder( GameActivity.getInstance() )
.setTitle(mTitle)
.setMessage(mMessage)
.setPositiveButton( mYes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
GameActivity.getInstance().nativeOnSystemDialogResult( mOnYesAddr );
}
})
.setNegativeButton( mNo, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
GameActivity.getInstance().nativeOnSystemDialogResult( mOnNoAddr );
}
})
.setCancelable(false)

dialog.show();
}else {
Dialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder( GameActivity.getInstance() )
.setTitle(mTitle)
.setMessage(mMessage)
.setPositiveButton( mNo, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
GameActivity.getInstance().nativeOnSystemDialogResult( mOnYesAddr );
}
})

}
}
}

native usage sample:
static void OnExit()
{
exit();
} void Android_Confirm_Exit()
{
const char* title = "Quit";
const char* message = "Unsaved progress will be lost.\nAre you sure you want to quit game?";
const char* yes = "Ok";
const char* no = "Cancel";
Android_SystemDialog(title, message, yes, no, &OnExit, NULL);
