JNI ERROR (app bug): attempt to use stale Local 0x31 (should be 0x39)

Question

Good day. Wrote code that should set key values.

extern "C" JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL Java_com_example_woodman_testlibsettingsv2_frmMain_SetSystemKeysString(JNIEnv *env, jobject instance, jstring key_Name_) { 
    const char *key_Name = env->GetStringUTFChars(key_Name_, 0);

    // TODO

    jclass secClass = env->FindClass("android/provider/Settings$System");
    jmethodID secMid = env->GetStaticMethodID(secClass, "putString", "(Landroid/content/ContentResolver;Landroid/net/Uri;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Z");

    jclass activityThread = env->FindClass("android/app/ActivityThread");
    jmethodID currentActivityThread = env->GetStaticMethodID(activityThread, "currentActivityThread", "()Landroid/app/ActivityThread;");
    jobject at = env->CallStaticObjectMethod(activityThread, currentActivityThread);
    jmethodID getApplication = env->GetMethodID(activityThread, "getApplication", "()Landroid/app/Application;");
    jobject context = env->CallObjectMethod(at, getApplication);

    jclass c_context = env->FindClass("android/content/Context");
    jmethodID m_get_content_resolver = env->GetMethodID(c_context, "getContentResolver", "()Landroid/content/ContentResolver;");
    jobject o_content_resolver;
    o_content_resolver = env->CallObjectMethod(context, m_get_content_resolver);

    jstring jStringParam = env->NewStringUTF(key_Name);
    jboolean jStringKey = env->CallStaticBooleanMethod(secClass, secMid, o_content_resolver, jStringParam, env->NewStringUTF("1"));

    env->DeleteLocalRef(jStringParam);

    return jStringKey;
}

But when I try to execute, I get an error.

Can everybody have a problem?

I read a lot of forums and websites. There is no solution anywhere. Thanks.

Add: This line causes an error.

jboolean jStringKey = env->CallStaticBooleanMethod(secClass, secMid, o_content_resolver, jStringParam, env->NewStringUTF("1"));

All the rest work out correctly. The problem with calling the putString method.

Answer 1

The culprit of the failure is this line:

jmethodID secMid = env->GetStaticMethodID(secClass, "putString", "(Landroid/content/ContentResolver;Landroid/net/Uri;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Z");

You are trying to find the static method ID of

protected static boolean putString(ContentResolver resolver, Uri uri, String name, String value)

for class android.provider.Settings$System , but this class does not have such a method at all.

Although, we know

public static final class System extends NameValueTable {
    ...
}

But, this is a static method of class NameValueTable which CANNOT be inherited by System class.

So, you need change the method signature to below:

jmethodID secMid = env->GetStaticMethodID(secClass, "putString", "(Landroid/content/ContentResolver;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Z");

Note that the ;Landroid/net/Uri is removed from your method signature.
