How to call custom typescript function from Java with evalString

[nicetry107]

Hello guys, I have a custom typescript component like following,

@ccclass
export default class TestComp extends cc.Component 

{
@property(cc.Label)
debugText : cc.Label = null;

  public foo(name)
    {   
        this.debugText.string = name;
        cc.log("successfully called foo");
    }
}

How can I call function foo(name) of typescript component from AppActivity? I tried following…

Cocos2dxJavascriptJavaBridge.evalString("var controller = require('TestComp');");

But I am getting error of missing file. Can anyone tell me the right way to call TestComp.foo(name). Thanks.

Hello,

I was getting the same issue before some days. I was able to solve it by using the following.

In AppActivity.java,

Cocos2dxJavascriptJavaBridge.evalString(“cc.find(‘YOUR_NODE_NAME’).getComponent(‘TestComp’).foo(‘Test Call from Java’);”);

Hope this helps you.

Cheers!

Hey, thanks for responding.
cc.find seems to returning null node. Do I have to mark the node as persistent? Thanks.

It worked with a little change. Most of the time nodes are under Canvas so I changed it to ,

cc.find('Canvas/node_name')

Thanks a lot.
