JNI: passing bytes from c++ to java

Question

HANDLE hFile = CreateFileA("C:\\myfile.zip", GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
const int size = GetFileSize(hFile, NULL);
char* buffer = new char[size];
DWORD read;
ReadFile(hFile, buffer, size, &read, NULL);

jclass cls = ...;
jmethodID id = ...;

jbyteArray arr = env->NewByteArray(size);
env->GetByteArrayRegion(arr, 0, size, (jbyte*) buffer);
env->CallStaticVoidMethod(cls, id, arr);

problem is that byte array contains just null bytes in java side, does anyone have idea why?

EDIT: oh my bad it should be SetByteArrayRegion, sorry: all working now :)

Answer 1

I think your missing a line like:

(*env)-> SetByteArrayRegion(env, result, 0, size, fill);
