Steps to create a native Android plugin for Unity in Java using Android Studio – Part 2 (of 2)

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
 
public class HelloWorld : MonoBehaviour {
 
    Text textObj;
 
    void Start () {
 
        // Find the Text UI object attached to the game object this script is attached to
        textObj = gameObject.GetComponent();
 
        // Make the call using JNI to the Java Class and write out the response (or write 'Invalid Response From JNI' if there was a problem).
        textObj.text = CaptiveReality.Jni.Util.StaticCall("sayHello", "Invalid Response From JNI", "com.captivereality.texturehelper.HelloWorld");
    }
    
}

  Description: 
  A very simple static helper (for Unity) that you can use to call a static Java method in a Java class using Jni
  
  Examples: 
  int result = CaptiveReality.Jni.Util.StaticCall("getAMethodWhichReturnsInt", 1, "com.yourandroidlib.example.ClassName");
  string result = CaptiveReality.Jni.Util.StaticCall("getAMethodWhichReturnsString", "UNKNOWN", "com.yourandroidlib.example.ClassName");
