Executes an operation according to the specified command object. This method is the low-level interface to the JIT compiler. It may return any object or null if no JIT compiler is available. Returns null on Android, whether or not the system has a JIT.

Parameters
cmd the command object for the JIT compiler.
Returns
  • the result of executing command or null.

public static boolean compileClass (Class<?> classToCompile)

Since: API Level 1

Compiles the specified class using the JIT compiler and indicates if compilation has been successful. Does nothing and returns false on Android.

Parameters
classToCompile java.lang.Class the class to JIT compile
Returns
  • true if the compilation has been successful; false if it has failed or if there is no JIT compiler available.

public static boolean compileClasses (String nameRoot)

Since: API Level 1

Compiles all classes whose name matches the specified name using the JIT compiler and indicates if compilation has been successful. Does nothing and returns false on Android.

Parameters
nameRoot the string to match class names with.
Returns
  • true if the compilation has been successful; false if it has failed or if there is no JIT compiler available.
