Blackberry plugins?

Hmm I don't have control over that, the tool used to set the price only lets me set US Dollars, I can't set conversion rates.
If its a concern to you, I suggest talking to the Unity folks about it, maybe there is something wrong in there system.

 

That's a shame, does seem a tad unfair but hopefully they can look into it. Looks a great asset though and I'll be grabbing it later today.

 

Nice! I'll pick that up.

 

Has anybody had any look making a plugin that can call functions in the bb namespace?

I am trying to create a simple Shared Library and I can get it to compile only if I don't add any functions form the bb or Q namespaces. For example I want to use InvokeManager, but when I do that it complains of QtGlobal, no such file or directory.

I've seen comments about editing the PO file, but when you just create a shared library none of that even gets created. You just have a hidden .project file and the CPP and MAK files.

This has been driving me nuts for hours

 

You can't link to QT libs. Its the biggest issue with making plugins for BB10. You can ONLY use Core Native C APIs.

 

Ah, that explains why I've spent 3 hours getting nowhere then.

Thanks for confirming that. I will look at the Core API instead.

 

Almost there now. Just can't seem to get it to call the functions in my library.

I have a CPP file that is compiled to libMyPluginso and placed into Plugins/Blackberry/libs. It contains a number of functions that return ints and take char *strings as parameters.

I have written the C# wrapper class for them and declared access to the functions as follows:

[DllImport("MyPlugin", EntryPoint="_MyTestFunction", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
private static extern int _MyTestFunction(string message);

However, when running on the device, the call to this function always throws the following Exception:

DllNotFoundException: MyPlugin

I can't see what I am doing wrong here. I have tried removing the EntryPoint option but it makes no difference at all.

Anyone any ideas?

 

Don't make or compile a native BB10 .so lib file yourself. This is pointless when working with the Core Native APIs as they are all C methods anyway.
You will just create more trouble then its worth. DllImport directly into the Core Native APIs instead.

 

I'm not sure I understand that answer, sorry.

I have written a straight CPP file with three simple functions inside an extern C function block. These functions call lots of native library methods to do their tasks and use native c parameters. I need to be able to call these function blocks I have written from C#.

Am I missing something?

 

I was suggesting if you are trying to call Core Native APIs, then its best to just invoke them via C#.

If you are writing a C/C++ lib for other reasons:
1) Did you put your compiled .so file in "Assets/Plugins/BlackBerry/libs/..." ?
2) You don't need to set "CharSet=CharSet.Auto"
3) Make sure you build as release.

 

I've cracked it. Turns out I was still linking to the cascades library and not linking to the core library I was using instead.

If anyone gets into this situation again, the following link is very helpful. Though I couldn't follow it because the option to get the Logs under the Player settings always fails with Permission Denied for me
