Re: JavaScriptException during JSNI call: Invoking an instance method on a null instance

Thanks ChrisK, You saved my day.

There were a few problems here. My first example calls a zero args function but is not formatted correctly.

If you call something like this:
  this.@com.mine.PlayerImpl::callback();

It won't work. It needs the method signature and parameters separated (no args signature doesn't imply no args last time I checked in GWT):
  this.@com.mine.PlayerImpl::callback()();

Notice the additional set of brackets. Very briefly mentioned on https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.

For the final code, I ended up passing "this" as a parameter from Java and also wrapping the JS callback function so it ends up looking like this:

  public PlayerImpl() {
    initialiseCallbacks(this);
  }

  private native void initialiseCallbacks(PlayerImpl impl) /*-{
    $wnd.js_callback = $entry(function() {
      impl.@com.mine.PlayerImpl::callback()();
    });
  }

I hope that helps.

Hey

did you finally get this working.

I am doing the exact same thing

I pass in the instance of the object as a parameter in the function method

Could you post the working code that you have.

Would really apreciate it.

Thanks,

Kartik

ChrisK,

For instance method, you need to reference the method from the
instance like "this.@...". Here is my exact code that compile:

private native void installListener()
/*-{
    var callback = $entry(this.
@net.antidot.gwtcommon.mvp.share.client.channel.HTML5MessageChannel::process(Lnet/
antidot/gwtcommon/mvp/share/client/channel/HTML5MessageEvent;));
    $wnd.addEventListener("message", (function(callback, channel) {
        return function(event) {
            callback.call(channel, event);
        };
    })(callback, this), false);;
}-*/;

Sorry, I forgot that...
