Android projects codegeneration support

My team was impressed by the performance of your API in various benchmarks so we tried to replace Gson in our project with it, however we've faced some issues integrating it. At first, I tried to use Dynamic Codegen on a simple text project. The model is plain as desk:

public class Model
{
	public int int1;
	public int int2;
}

But I get exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.bitrix.a01_test_jsoniter/com.bitrix.a01_test_jsoniter.MainActivity}: com.jsoniter.spi.JsonException: failed to generate decoder for: com.jsoniter.spi.ClassInfo@c4e768c with [], exception: javassist.NotFoundException: com.jsoniter.spi.Decoder

..........

I take it, the reason is some compatibility issue with Javassist. So I tried to implement Static Codegen Wrapper.

public class ModelCodegenConfig implements StaticCodegenConfig
{
	@Override
	public void setup()
	{
		JsoniterSpi.registerPropertyDecoder(Model.class, "int1", new Decoder.IntDecoder()
		{
			@Override
			public int decodeInt(JsonIterator iter) throws IOException
			{
				return Integer.valueOf(iter.readString());
			}
		});
		JsoniterSpi.registerPropertyDecoder(Model.class, "int2", new Decoder.IntDecoder()
		{
			@Override
			public int decodeInt(JsonIterator iter) throws IOException
			{
				return Integer.valueOf(iter.readString());
			}
		});
	}
	@Override
	public TypeLiteral[] whatToCodegen()
	{
		return new TypeLiteral[] {
				TypeLiteral.create(int.class)
		};
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
	{
		StaticCodegen.main(new String[] { ModelCodegenConfig.class.getCanonicalName() });
	}
}

But I continue facing crashes with the following log:

Am I doing something wrong, or your project is simply not compatible with Android? Will it be in near future?

[taowen]

it is compatible with android. which mode are you trying to use, reflection or static codegen?

http://jsoniter.com/java-features.html#reflection mode is still faster than gson, you can start from there. I will provide a full example on Android + static code generation once I am back home. Currently on the road, do not have time to work on this.

[ancientloregames]

Thanks for your response! I've tried both codegen methods, and haven't tried reflection. So, is dynamic codegen confirmed not to be an option for Android?

I've managed to replace Gson with your library (Reflective mode). It does work faster (up to three times)! Nicely done! Can't wait for you explanation of how to work with the static codegen properly.

[taowen]

please refer to https://github.com/json-iterator/java/blob/master/android-demo/build.gradle

this is the generated code: https://github.com/json-iterator/java/tree/master/android-demo/src/main/java/jsoniter_codegen/cfg1173796797

[ancientloregames]

Hi. I've tried to build your sample project for android, but keep getting following exception in the Gradle Console during the assemly:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.example.myapplication.DemoCodegenConfig

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':generateSources'.

[taowen]

try comment out

afterEvaluate {
    android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
        variant.javaCompiler.dependsOn(generateSources)
    }
}

and build, then build again. It referenced the classes output, which is a circular dependency.

[taowen]

see the latest https://github.com/json-iterator/java/blob/master/android-demo/build.gradle

it should be fixed now

[ancientloregames]

Thanks for your fast replies! Your fix works fine in the sample project. However, I have some complications in implementing it into my team's project. The dependency on your library itself must be in our library module, witch is, in its turn, to be included to the application module, so I tried to put the task execution into the application module, but an exception, similar to the previous one, occurs: Execution failed for task ':jsoniterStaticCodgen'. > Process 'command '/home/colfair/android-studio/jre/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1 Without any further explanation. Tried to move task to the library module and change the collection of build variants to the libraryVariants. Same exception.

[nedtwigg]

If you'd like another approach, you could put these files into your buildSrc, and then this into your build.gradle.

[taowen]

@nedtwigg thanks! if want to merge your plugin into jsoniter, just give me a pull request.

[nedtwigg]

I'd love to donate the plugin! The hard part is integrating it into your build / release process, and putting it on the Gradle Plugin Portal, which is hard as third party. The plugin itself is just a few lines, feel free to just nab it if you're up for taking over deployment. I'd be happy to help answer questions & maintain it.

[taowen]

I am unfamiliar with gradle build system. Would like to keep this for community support :)

Ha, and I know nothing about maven ;-) Looks like there's a gradle-maven-plugin for calling gradle from maven. If you make a folder with that plugin inside that supports publish, test, I'd be happy to stick the appropriate gradle build into it :)

what is the process to put things into Gradle Plugin Portal?

You create an account here: https://login.gradle.org/user/register

If you publish interactively (at the console), you login via the console each time you publish. Or you can get an API key and do headless publish in CI. You shouldn't have to make changes to the plugin very often (it doesn't care what version of json-iterator the user is using), so manual publish would be fine.

Then you will be in these search results: https://plugins.gradle.org/search?term=json

Hi! Sorry for no participating in resolving the issue for so long time. Was busy with some other stuff, so I sticked with reflective approach for a while. Finally, I've got some time. I figured out that the reason your build task not working in my project is the gradle version I use (4+). It uses api and implementation instead of compile for dependencies, so Compile Configuration will not provide the local JVM with the needed classpath. Unfortunately api and implementation Configurations are unresolvable. I've found another approach, which involves setting the classpath on afterEvaluate as followed:

afterEvaluate {
    android.libraryVariants.each {
        Task task = jsoniterCodegen
        task.classpath += it.compileConfiguration
        it.javaCompiler.dependsOn task
    }
}

All looked fine on the simple test project, but on the actual one, I've faced new problem. This approach leads to an exception, if the project depends on another local project:

Error:Could not determine the dependencies of task ':jsoniter_lib:jsoniterCodegen'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':jsoniter_lib:releaseCompileClasspath'.
   > More than one variant of project :sublib matches the consumer attributes:
       - Configuration ':sublib:releaseApiElements' variant android-aidl:
           - Found artifactType 'android-aidl' but wasn't required.
           - Required com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'release' and found compatible value 'release'.
           - Required com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' and found compatible value 'Aar'.
           - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.VariantAttr 'release' but wasn't required.
           - Required org.gradle.api.attributes.Usage 'java-api' and found compatible value 'java-api'.

As the last resort, I managed to create custom Configuration and provide it with the required dependencies.

afterEvaluate {
    Configuration jsonConf = configurations.create("jsonConf")
    jsonConf.defaultDependencies {
        it.add(owner.project.dependencies.create("com.jsoniter:jsoniter:0.9.21"))
    }
    android.libraryVariants.each {
        Task task = jsoniterCodgen
        task.classpath += jsonConf
        it.javaCompiler.dependsOn task
    }
}

But this code looks really nasty to my taste. Any thoughts on how to improve it?
