This changes takes Qt for Android Java code away from the Delegate
classes that uses heavily Java reflection to invoke Activity/Service
calls and overrides. So instead of that, now, we have a QtActivityBase
and a QtServiceBase classes which handle the override logic needed for
Qt directly without reflection.
These Base classes extend Android's Activity and Service directly, and
are inside the internal Qt android package (under Qt6Android.jar).
For example, to handle onConfigurationChanged, instead of the current
way where we need this in QtActivityDelegate:
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration configuration)
{
try {
m_super_onConfigurationChanged.invoke(m_activity, configuration);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
handleUiModeChange(configuration.uiMode &
Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK);
}
And then this in QtActivity:
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)
{
if (!QtLoader.invokeDelegate(newConfig).invoked)
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
public void super_onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)
{
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
And having to keep it's Method handles around and then use Java
reflection
to call the override behavior done by Qt and the superclass methods.
instead of that, we can do it now in QtActivityBase like:
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)
{
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
handleUiModeChange(newConfig.uiMode &
Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK);
}
Then, we would still have our user facing QtActivity class which extends
QtActivityBase and benefit from the same implementation of Qt logic done
in the base class.
An additional benefit to this approach is that now QtActivity will be
very lightweight and doesn't need to have all the boilerplate code as
before.
[ChangeLog][Android] Simplify Qt for Android public bindings
(QActivity, QtService and QtApplication) by implementing base
classes which use the delegate implementions directly and avoid
reflection.
