Java.Lang GetClass 内 C#

Question

I am trying to pass a pin to a Bluetooth device within my own receiver on the Android part of my Xamarin Forms application. I am getting the correct action stage, but am having issues getting the setPin and convertPinToBytes method. I followed the suggestion found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19776382/13902576 , but I am having trouble converting this into C#.

My implementation is as below:

var convert = device.BluetoothClass.Class.GetMethod("convertPinToBytes", Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Java.Lang.String)));
byte[] pin = (byte[])convert.Invoke(device.BluetoothClass.Class, "1234");
var setPin = device.BluetoothClass.Class.GetMethod("setPin", Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Java.Lang.Byte)));
var connectResult = (bool)setPin.Invoke(device, pin);
Console.WriteLine(connectResult);

I am getting the following exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: convertPinToBytes [class java.lang.String]

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

There appeared to be a native solution within C#. As there is a instance of the BluetoothDevice class within C#, some of these methods are available.

The solution could be greatly simplified using by doing:

byte[] pin = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("1234");
var setPin = device.SetPin(pin);

I ended up fixing the first method error using instead:

var deviceClass = Java.Lang.Class.ForName(device.Class.CanonicalName);
var convert = deviceClass.GetMethod("convertPinToBytes", Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Java.Lang.String)));

I could not fix the setPin method error. However, my final solution is from example one above.
