I'm trying to call a javascript function from a java class, but I get these errors:

-Could not find method sun.misc.Service.installedProviders, referenced from method javax.script.ScriptEngineManager.initEngines

-Could not find method sun.misc.Service.providers, referenced from method javax.script.ScriptEngineManager.initEngines

-Could not find method sun.misc.Service.installedProviders, referenced from method javax.script.ScriptEngineManager.initEngines

-java.lang.VerifyError: javax.script.ScriptEngineManager

Here the code:

    public  void sendResult(){
    ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
                    ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("js");

                    String script = "function send() {"+"var id_result = window.MyPGP.getResult();"+                            
                            "document.getElementById('id_result').value = id_result;"+"console.log(\"change the box value\");";

                    try {
                        engine.eval(script);

                        Invocable invocableEngine = (Invocable) engine;

                        invocableEngine.invokeFunction("send");


   } catch (ScriptException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }  catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

What I'm trying exactly to do is that when the payment is finished, this function is called in other methods in this class to get the result of the payment and it is printed in a box in the main html.

• java
• javascript
• android
• cordova

• What has that to do with android? – Anders Metnik Commented Jul 31, 2012 at 11:45
• It is a phonegap application based on android. – luperxe Commented Jul 31, 2012 at 11:49
• @AndersMetnik Actually it is related to android. As we have to do code in different manner depending upon the platform. – coderslay Commented Jul 31, 2012 at 11:52
• @luperxe You want to call a java script function which is in your .html file? Do you want to run that function in the background? – coderslay Commented Jul 31, 2012 at 12:01
• @Coder_sLaY the javascript function I want to call is written in the code I posted. String script = "function send() {"+"var id_result = window.MyPGP.getResult();"+"document.getElementById('id_result').value = id_result;"+"console.log(\"change the box value\");"; Yes, I want to run it in the background. – luperxe Commented Jul 31, 2012 at 12:04

use this code

import javax.script.*;

public class InvokeScriptFunction {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
        ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");

        // JavaScript code in a String
        String script = "function hello(name) { print('Hello, ' + name); }";
        // evaluate script
        engine.eval(script);

        // javax.script.Invocable is an optional interface.
        // Check whether your script engine implements or not!
        // Note that the JavaScript engine implements Invocable interface.
        Invocable inv = (Invocable) engine;

        // invoke the global function named "hello"
        inv.invokeFunction("hello", "Scripting!!" );
    }
}

good luck

 ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");

Does this work?

You can do something like this

super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 20000);
super.loadUrl("javascript: { var pageFlag = '" + flag + "';}"); // Your Javascript function here
