Extending a class and wrapping methods

You are browsing legacy Javonet 1.5 (Java<>.NET bridge for Windows) documentation. Use the left side menu or click here to switch to latest Javonet 2.0 documentation. Javonet 2.0 allows you to use any module from JVM, CLR, Netcore, Python, Ruby, Perl, NodeJS on Windows, Linux and MacOs from any application created in Java, Clojure, Groovy, Kotlin, C#, F#, J#, VB.NET, Python, Perl, Ruby, JavaScript, TypeScript, C++ and GoLang

You can extend any class from JAR library by extending the C# class with the NObject/JObject type and then call the constructor base constructor by passing the name of the called type and arguments for its constructor as an argument.

Assuming we have a custom JAR library with the following class inside:

import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;

public class TestClass {
    public TestClass() { }

        public class TestClass {
            public TestClass() {
            }
        
            public static int MyStaticField;
        
            public int MyInstanceField;
        
            public static String SayHello(String name) {
                return "Hello " + name;
            }
        
            public static int MethodExpectingPrimitiveInt(int arg) {
                return arg * 2;
            }
        
            public static int MethodExpectingClassInteger(Integer arg) {
                return arg * 2;
            }
        
            public int MultiplyByTwo(Integer arg) {
                return arg * 2;
            }
        
            public <T> T MyGenericMethod(T arg1)
            {
                return arg1;
            }
        }
        
}
public class TestClass {
    public TestClass() {
    }

    public static int MyStaticField;

    public int MyInstanceField;

    public static String SayHello(String name) {
        return "Hello " + name;
    }

    public static int MethodExpectingPrimitiveInt(int arg) {
        return arg * 2;
    }

    public static int MethodExpectingClassInteger(Integer arg) {
        return arg * 2;
    }

    public int MultiplyByTwo(Integer arg) {
        return arg * 2;
    }

    public <T> T MyGenericMethod(T arg1)
    {
        return arg1;
    }
}

To extend this class and wrap method from this class create the following class:

And use it like any other C# class
