Parameter type problem in NativeScript

Hello,

I am trying to implement this library for NativeScript but it can’t extracted metadata for Boolean parameter type. http://static.javadoc.io/com.braintreepayments.api/drop-in/3.1.0/com/braintreepayments/api/dropin/DropInRequest.html#collectDeviceData-boolean-

We tried to implement it using Java reflection like here: https://github.com/NativeScript/android-runtime/issues/831#issuecomment-324253887

but not working for this method collectDeviceData(boolean collectDeviceData) :

let collectDeviceDataMethod = dropInRequest.getClass().getMethod("collectDeviceData", [java.lang.Boolean.class]);
collectDeviceDataMethod.invoke(dropInRequest, [true]);

Error:

Error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: collectDeviceData [class java.lang.Boolean]

It can’t understand boolean type. It would be better if it is “java.lang.Boolean.class”

Anyone have suggestion? Thanks in advance.

@sdcoffey Thanks for reply. Yes, the trick is working fine but the guy who solved the problem already mentioned that the trick is dirty. But works for me 😃. I have started a new project here:

Still now everything looks good 😃

It is indeed a dirty trick, but if it’s working for you, that’s the best we can do from this end unforch. Good luck!
