How to return an interger array from JNI to java layer?

i have a native code, where i ll be filling up an array of integers. I want to return this to java layer.
Can i create a arraylist in java to get these back in java layer?

or anyother better way to do it?

You could create the int array in Java code, then pass it as a parameter, or simply create the int array from native code.

Thanks for the info.
But, is there a way or method to return a two dimensional array?

There might be a two-dimensional array in C but there isn't in Java, only arrays of arrays.

Pass an int[][] as a parameter, or create an int[][] in the native code, almost exactly as Rob has told you.

An int[][] is actually an Object[] for which each element is int[]. You should mix Object arrays and int arrays in your native code.

Thank you, Rob. Does that apply only in Java? I suppose there is no such thing as an Object[] in C/C++.

Did you miss out a "not" somewhere, maybe "not mix"?

To be honest, I have no idea. I've done quite some C programming, but my C++ experience is lacking.

I didn't, but my intentions seem to be missing.

What I was trying to say is, that Vinod should use NewObjectArray to create one Object array as the outer array (of type int[].class which is [I in native code), then use NewIntArray to create each int[] element, and finally use SetObjectArrayElement to set these as the values of the Object array.

In pseudo code:

Right, thank you, Rob. All explained. I am pretty sure there is not usually an Object in C, so there can't be an Object[], unless you create such a type yourself. Presumably as a struct.
