# Smali Reference for Community Server Manager
|
|
|
|
This document shows the Java code that needs to be converted to Smali for the server browser system.
|
|
|
|
## Core Classes Needed
|
|
|
|
### 1. CommunityServerManager.java
|
|
|
|
This is the main bridge between JavaScript and Android.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
package com.community;
|
|
|
|
import android.content.Context;
|
|
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
|
|
import android.webkit.JavascriptInterface;
|
|
import android.widget.Toast;
|
|
import android.os.Handler;
|
|
import android.os.Looper;
|
|
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
|
|
import java.net.URL;
|
|
|
|
public class CommunityServerManager {
|
|
private Context context;
|
|
private static final String PREFS_NAME = "com.ea.games.r3_row_preferences";
|
|
private static final String KEY_SERVERS = "community_servers";
|
|
private static final String KEY_ACTIVE_SERVER = "active_server_id";
|
|
|
|
public CommunityServerManager(Context context) {

|
|
|
@JavascriptInterface
|

|
|
return prefs.getString(KEY_SERVERS, "[]");
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@JavascriptInterface
|
|
public String getActiveServerId() {
|

|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@JavascriptInterface
|
|
public String getServerById(String serverId) {
|
|
String serversJson = getServers();
|
|
// Parse JSON and find server by ID
|
|
// Return server JSON or "{}"
|

|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@JavascriptInterface

// Also update the server URL for game to use
|

}
|
|
|
|
@JavascriptInterface
|
|
public void showToast(final String message) {
|
|
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
|
|
handler.post(new Runnable() {
|

|
|
new Thread(new Runnable() {
|
|
@Override
|
|
public void run() {
|
|
boolean isOnline = testServerConnection(url);
|
|
// Call JavaScript callback: updateServerStatus(serverId, isOnline)
|
|
}
|
|
}).start();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@JavascriptInterface

|
|
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();

|
editor.putString("editing_server_id", serverId);

private boolean testServerConnection(String urlString) {

|
// Parse JSON and find server URL by ID
|
|
return ""; // Simplified
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. CommunityServersActivity.java
|
|
|
|
WebView host for the server list.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
package com.community;
|
|
|
|
import android.app.Activity;
|
|
import android.os.Bundle;
|
|
import android.webkit.WebView;
|
|
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
|
|
|
|
public class CommunityServersActivity extends Activity {
|
|
private WebView webView;
|
|
private CommunityServerManager serverManager;
|
|
|
|
@Override
|
|
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
|
|
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
|
|
|
|
// Create WebView
|
|
webView = new WebView(this);
|
|
setContentView(webView);
|
|
|
|
// Configure WebView
|
|
WebSettings settings = webView.getSettings();
|
|
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
|
|
settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
|
|
settings.setAllowFileAccess(true);
|
|
|
|
// Add JavaScript interface
|
|
serverManager = new CommunityServerManager(this);
|
|
webView.addJavascriptInterface(serverManager, "AndroidInterface");
|
|
|
|
// Load HTML from assets
|
|
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/community_servers_list.html");
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@Override
|
|
public void onBackPressed() {
|
|
super.onBackPressed();
|
|
finish();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. ServerEditActivity.java
|
|
|
|
WebView host for the server edit form.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
package com.community;
|
|
|
|
import android.app.Activity;
|
|
import android.os.Bundle;
|
|
import android.webkit.WebView;
|
|
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
|
|
|
|
public class ServerEditActivity extends Activity {
|
|
private WebView webView;
|
|
private CommunityServerManager serverManager;
|
|
|
|
@Override
|
|
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
|
|
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
|
|
|
|
webView = new WebView(this);
|
|
setContentView(webView);
|
|
|
|
WebSettings settings = webView.getSettings();
|
|
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
|
|
settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
|
|
|
|
serverManager = new CommunityServerManager(this);
|
|
webView.addJavascriptInterface(serverManager, "AndroidInterface");
|
|
|
|
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/community_server_edit.html");
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Patching SynergyEnvironmentImpl
|
|
|
|
The game needs to check for active server URL when initializing network environment.
|
|
|
|
### Original Code (SynergyEnvironmentImpl.java)
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public String getEnvironmentUrls() {
|
|
// Original EA server URLs
|
|
return "https://rr3-prod.ea.com";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Patched Code
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public String getEnvironmentUrls() {
|
|
// Check for community server override
|
|
SharedPreferences prefs = context.getSharedPreferences(
|
|
"com.ea.games.r3_row_preferences",
|
|
Context.MODE_PRIVATE
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
String communityServerUrl = prefs.getString("active_server_url", "");
|
|
|
|
if (!communityServerUrl.isEmpty()) {
|
|
// Use community server
|
|
return communityServerUrl;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Fall back to EA servers
|
|
return "https://rr3-prod.ea.com";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Converting to Smali
|
|
|
|
To convert these Java classes to Smali:
|
|
|
|
1. **Write the Java code** in a new Android project
|
|
2. **Compile to bytecode** (.class files)
|
|
3. **Convert to Smali** using:
|
|
```bash
|
|
javac -source 1.7 -target 1.7 CommunityServerManager.java
|
|
baksmali d CommunityServerManager.class -o output/
|
|
```
|
|
4. **Copy .smali files** to APK's `smali/com/community/` directory
|
|
|
|
## Key Smali Patterns
|
|
|
|
### JavascriptInterface Annotation
|
|
```smali
|
|
.annotation runtime Landroid/webkit/JavascriptInterface;
|
|
.end annotation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SharedPreferences Access
|
|
```smali
|
|
const-string v1, "com.ea.games.r3_row_preferences"
|
|
const/4 v2, 0x0
|
|
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Context;->getSharedPreferences(Ljava/lang/String;I)Landroid/content/SharedPreferences;
|
|
move-result-object v0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### String Operations
|
|
```smali
|
|
const-string v1, "community_servers"
|
|
const-string v2, "[]"
|
|
invoke-interface {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/SharedPreferences;->getString(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
|
|
move-result-object v0
|
|
return-object v0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
After adding smali files:
|
|
|
|
1. Rebuild APK with `apktool b`
|
|
2. Sign APK
|
|
3. Install on device
|
|
4. Test with:
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb shell am start -n com.ea.games.r3_row/com.community.CommunityServersActivity
|
|
```
|
|
5. Check logcat for errors:
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb logcat | grep -E "(Community|WebView|JavaScript)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debugging Tips
|
|
|
|
- Use `android.util.Log` liberally in Java code
|
|
- Test each method individually via JavaScript console
|
|
- Verify SharedPreferences with:
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb shell run-as com.ea.games.r3_row cat shared_prefs/com.ea.games.r3_row_preferences.xml
|
|
```
|
|
- Use Chrome DevTools to debug WebView:
|
|
1. Enable WebView debugging in code
|
|
2. Open `chrome://inspect` on PC
|
|
3. Connect device and inspect WebView
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- All JavaScript interfaces must run on UI thread or handle threading manually
|
|
- JSON parsing can use `org.json.JSONObject` and `org.json.JSONArray`
|
|
- Network operations MUST be on background thread
|
|
- WebView file access requires proper permissions in manifest
|
