Delphi Android Java class that inherits from an interface

Question

I'm trying to implement the latest version of Google Play Services (15.01) in Delphi. I have merged the relevant libraries into a single jar file, and extracted a bridge file with java2op. Everything was running pretty smooth, until i ran into this showstopper:

I have this class:

JRoomConfigClass = interface(JObjectClass)
['{88F39239-F51D-4BA0-8131-24EBF070A584}']
{class} function builder(P1: JRoomUpdateListener): JRoomConfig_Builder; 
cdecl; overload;
{class} function builder(P1: JRoomUpdateCallback): JRoomConfig_Builder; 
cdecl; overload;
{class} function createAutoMatchCriteria(P1: Integer; P2: Integer; P3: 
Int64): JBundle; cdecl;
end;

[JavaSignature('com/google/android/gms/games/multiplayer/realtime/
RoomConfig')]
JRoomConfig = interface(JObject)
['{EF764B81-BF25-490C-8562-D9DC6BB337AD}']
function getAutoMatchCriteria: JBundle; cdecl;
function getInvitationId: JString; cdecl;
function getInvitedPlayerIds: TJavaObjectArray<JString>; cdecl;
function getMessageReceivedListener: JRealTimeMessageReceivedListener; cdecl;
function getOnMessageReceivedListener: JOnRealTimeMessageReceivedListener; 
cdecl;
function getRoomStatusUpdateCallback: JRoomStatusUpdateCallback; cdecl;
function getRoomStatusUpdateListener: JRoomStatusUpdateListener; cdecl;
function getRoomUpdateCallback: JRoomUpdateCallback; cdecl;
function getRoomUpdateListener: JRoomUpdateListener; cdecl;
function getVariant: Integer; cdecl;
function zzch: Jrealtime_zzh; cdecl;
end;
TJRoomConfig = class(TJavaGenericImport<JRoomConfigClass, JRoomConfig>) end;

i call method "builder":

rtmConfigBuilder := TJRoomConfig.JavaClass.builder(RoomUpdateCallback);

But RoomUpdateCallback is defined like this:

JRoomUpdateCallbackClass = interface(JRoomUpdateListenerClass)
['{B7973699-780A-4D76-9585-D113DD245CC5}']
{class} function init: JRoomUpdateCallback; cdecl;
end;
[JavaSignature('com/google/android/gms/games/multiplayer/realtime/
RoomUpdateCallback')]

JRoomUpdateCallback = interface(JRoomUpdateListener)
['{0CA35AB2-8AA9-4604-909B-68DE93112867}']
procedure onJoinedRoom(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
procedure onLeftRoom(P1: Integer; P2: JString); cdecl;
procedure onRoomConnected(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
procedure onRoomCreated(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
end;
TJRoomUpdateCallback = class(TJavaGenericImport<JRoomUpdateCallbackClass, 
JRoomUpdateCallback>) end;

So, it's not an interface, which means, that i can't use the usual listener approach:

TRoomUpdateListener = class(TJavaLocal, JRoomUpdateCallback)
  procedure onJoinedRoom(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
  procedure onLeftRoom(P1: Integer; P2: JString); cdecl;
  procedure onRoomConnected(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
  procedure onRoomCreated(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
 end;

But JRoomUpdateCallback is a descendant of JRoomUpdateListener which is an interface:

JRoomUpdateListenerClass = interface(IJavaClass)
['{62795DB4-DDD0-48F2-AABA-644CC96D5E6E}']
end;

[JavaSignature('com/google/android/gms/games/multiplayer/realtime/
RoomUpdateListener')]
JRoomUpdateListener = interface(IJavaInstance)
['{236212AF-A72A-4DEC-BB73-E0B42E80F7A1}']
procedure onJoinedRoom(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
procedure onLeftRoom(P1: Integer; P2: JString); cdecl;
procedure onRoomConnected(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
procedure onRoomCreated(P1: Integer; P2: JRoom); cdecl;
end;
TJRoomUpdateListener = class(TJavaGenericImport<JRoomUpdateListenerClass, 
JRoomUpdateListener>) end;

How do i implement this? Is it at all possible?

I found similar questions in the Android section of SO like (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26511788) and you aren't even close. The Android dev's are setting up a `game` instance first... — Freddie Bell, Jun 29 '18 at 17:04
That's not it. The question is how to somehow catch the events from the java class. As far as i know you cannot descent from a java class, but i was hoping there was some way, because the java class implements the interface. — helgovic, Jun 29 '18 at 17:47
The import you have there does not seem to make sense. Where did you obtain the .jar from? — Dave Nottage, Jun 30 '18 at 10:17
The jar was merged from the individual jars in version 15.01, downloaded from maven repository. — helgovic, Jul 01 '18 at 18:26
It looks to me like you wish to define a Delphi class implementing an Android listener interface. The listener interface is `JRoomUpdateCallback`, which inherits from `JRoomUpdateListener`, which inherits from `IJavaInstance`, the base Android/Java interface representation. So far, you appear to be describing a perfect scenario where your listener class can be built and yet you say there is some obstacle stopping you. I'm not sure what this obstacle is, and apologies if I'm missing something stated clearly, but what doesn't work? It looks like it should work just fine. — blong, Jul 02 '18 at 15:47

There's no way around it. I had to code some java. this is what i put in my java library, if somebody can benefit from it.

        return mRoomConfigBuilder.build();
    }
}

And that should translate to Delphi quite easily now? – Freddie Bell Jul 02 '18 at 06:05 — Freddie Bell, Jul 02 '18 at 06:05
