JavaClassWrapper
================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Provides access to the Java Native Interface.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

The JavaClassWrapper singleton provides a way for the Godot application to send and receive data through the `Java Native Interface <https://developer.android.com/training/articles/perf-jni>`__ (JNI).

\ **Note:** This singleton is only available in Android builds.

::

    var LocalDateTime = JavaClassWrapper.wrap("java.time.LocalDateTime")
    var DateTimeFormatter = JavaClassWrapper.wrap("java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter")
    
    var datetime = LocalDateTime.now()
    var formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss")
    
    print(datetime.format(formatter))

\ **Warning:** When calling Java methods, be sure to check :ref:`get_exception()<class_JavaClassWrapper_method_get_exception>` to check if the method threw an exception.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_JavaClassWrapper_method_get_exception:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`JavaObject<class_JavaObject>` **get_exception**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_JavaClassWrapper_method_get_exception>`

Returns the Java exception from the last call into a Java class. If there was no exception, it will return ``null``.

\ **Note:** This method only works on Android. On every other platform, this method will always return ``null``.

.. _class_JavaClassWrapper_method_wrap:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`JavaClass<class_JavaClass>` **wrap**\ (\ name\: :ref:`String<class_String>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_JavaClassWrapper_method_wrap>`

Wraps a class defined in Java, and returns it as a :ref:`JavaClass<class_JavaClass>` :ref:`Object<class_Object>` type that Godot can interact with.

When wrapping inner (nested) classes, use ``$`` instead of ``.`` to separate them. For example, ``JavaClassWrapper.wrap("android.view.WindowManager$LayoutParams")`` wraps the **WindowManager.LayoutParams** class.

\ **Note:** This method only works on Android. On every other platform, this method does nothing and returns an empty :ref:`JavaClass<class_JavaClass>`.
