Fixes: dotnet#4809 Context: 7117414 Context: a017561 Part of the a017561 commit dealt with mappings from certain Java types which point to the same Managed type by making sure that they all refer to the same type definition and managed type name. However, in doing so it failed to synchronize the property which indicates that we are dealing with an interface or generic type, in which case such a type should be ignored by the type mapping code in the runtime. In this particular case, the issue was with the `ArrayAdapter` type which has both a generic and non-generic definitions and it so happens that the *first* type in `Mono.Android` assembly is the generic one, thus it, and its duplicate, should be ignored but due to the failure to synchronize the `SkipInJavaToManaged` property, the second instance of the type was not skipped on the runtime, resulting in the following exception: System.MemberAccessException: Cannot create an instance of Android.Widget.ArrayAdapter`1[T] because Type.ContainsGenericParameters is true. at System.Reflection.RuntimeConstructorInfo.DoInvoke (System.Object obj, System.Reflection.BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) [0x00054] in <d772a4bbe86c4dc5b425d8ca91786b91>:0 at System.Reflection.RuntimeConstructorInfo.Invoke (System.Reflection.BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) [0x00000] in <d772a4bbe86c4dc5b425d8ca91786b91>:0 at System.Reflection.ConstructorInfo.Invoke (System.Object[] parameters) [0x00000] in <d772a4bbe86c4dc5b425d8ca91786b91>:0 at Java.Interop.TypeManager.CreateProxy (System.Type type, System.IntPtr handle, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer) [0x0001b] in <43cddc76fe22432dbdbcea2397b6fcd7>:0 at Java.Interop.TypeManager.CreateInstance (System.IntPtr handle, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer, System.Type targetType) [0x00111] in <43cddc76fe22432dbdbcea2397b6fcd7>:0 at Java.Lang.Object.GetObject (System.IntPtr handle, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer, System.Type type) [0x00023] in <43cddc76fe22432dbdbcea2397b6fcd7>:0 at Java.Lang.Object._GetObject[T] (System.IntPtr handle, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer) [0x00017] in <43cddc76fe22432dbdbcea2397b6fcd7>:0 at Java.Lang.Object.GetObject[T] (System.IntPtr handle, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer) [0x00000] in <43cddc76fe22432dbdbcea2397b6fcd7>:0 at Android.Widget.ArrayAdapter.CreateFromResource (Android.Content.Context context, System.Int32 textArrayResId, System.Int32 textViewResId) [0x0006d] in <43cddc76fe22432dbdbcea2397b6fcd7>:0 at AndroidApp1.MainActivity.OnCreate (Android.OS.Bundle savedInstanceState) [0x00031] in <51ce4ed05744482eb8a8079a399a17d2>:0 at Android.App.Activity.n_OnCreate_Landroid_os_Bundle_ (System.IntPtr jnienv, System.IntPtr native__this, System.IntPtr native_savedInstanceState) [0x0000f] in <43cddc76fe22432dbdbcea2397b6fcd7>:0 at (wrapper dynamic-method) Android.Runtime.DynamicMethodNameCounter.3(intptr,intptr,intptr) This commit adds synchronization of the `SkipInJavaToManaged` property which results in the sample attached to the GitHub issue to work properly.

My concern/thought here is:
meaning we don't fully understand the failure condition. "For some weird reason," we got an invalid mapping, presumably because of this change. However, this in turn suggests that we could use more "defense in depth" around this scenario: given that we require that all Java-to-managed mappings not contain generic types, yet generic types keep getting included in there, how can we assert this requirement? (This is where the "typemap dump" utility could be handy, for manual verification…) Should we update Should we update Is there anything else that we can do to help prevent a similar "silent failure" in the future? |
@jonpryor I agree completely that we should do something - we need to discuss what exactly. I absolutely don't like the fact that the current typemap scanner returns types the type map generator and runtime need to work around in order to not crash on the runtime. However, the fix here is good and correct for what we have right now, even though we don't understand what happened. |

Part of the a017561 commit dealt with mappings from certain Java types
which point to the same Managed type by making sure that they all refer
to the same type definition and managed type name. However, in doing so
it failed to synchronize the property which indicates that we are
dealing with an interface or generic type, in which case such a type
should be ignored by the type mapping code in the runtime.
In this particular case, the issue was with the
ArrayAdapter
typewhich has both a generic and non-generic definitions and it so happens
that the first type in
Mono.Android
assembly is the generic one,thus it, and its duplicate, should be ignored but due to the failure to
synchronize the
SkipInJavaToManaged
property, the second instance ofthe type was not skipped on the runtime, resulting in the following
exception:
This commit adds synchronization of the
SkipInJavaToManaged
propertywhich results in the sample attached to the GitHub issue to work
properly.
Note: for some weird reason the error occurred only with the Release
build of
Mono.Android.dll
and only in the framework v9.0 (that isAPI28) - if the app targetted any other API it would not fail. I can't
see why this would be so since the relevant code was very similar
between v9.0 and other frameworks and it was identical in case of
the Debug build of the v9.0 framework.
