B4J Question UDP Packet Data (Bytearray) to "struct"?

[DonManfred]

Here i started a thread asking on how to Capture Broadcast UDP Packets.
I´m not able to test it as yet but i´m sure it will work when erel says it will.

So. Imagine it will work, then i am supposed to get different UDP Packets with different contents.

One packet for example is the ParticipantInfoStrings struct

struct sParticipantInfoStrings
{
static const u32 sPacketSize = 1347;
u16 sBuildVersionNumber; // 0
u8 sPacketType; // 2
char sCarName[64]; // 3
char sCarClassName[64]; // 131
char sTrackLocation[64]; // 195
char sTrackVariation[64]; // 259
char sName[16][64]; // 323
// 1347
};

From my investigations with delphi on win32 i can say that i got two kind of packets so far.
ONE with a size of 1347 and a lot other with the size of 1367 bytes.
The last one are the truct sTelemetryData

How would i need to use the bytearray i have to get the sBuildVersionNumber, sPacketType, sCarName and so on into B4J variables?

I need to understand how to interpret for example
u16 sBuildVersionNumber; // 0

How do i get a B4J variable from the first two bytes of the bytearray?

There are different types in the structs i have to rebuild.

u16, u32, u8, s8, s16, f32, char....

The structs for the telemetrydata is more complex

struct sTelemetryData
{
static const u32 sPacketSize = 1367;
u16 sBuildVersionNumber; // 0
u8 sPacketType; // 2

// Game states
u8 sGameSessionState; // 3

// Participant info
s8 sViewedParticipantIndex; // 4
s8 sNumParticipants; // 5

// Unfiltered input
u8 sUnfilteredThrottle; // 6
u8 sUnfilteredBrake; // 7

You should post a full hex message. Without it is difficult to get it right.
Something like:

'process globals
Type PIS (BuildVersionNumber As Short, PacketType As Byte, CarName As String, _
     TrackLocation As String, TrackVariation As String, Name(16) As String)


Sub ParseMessage(data() As Byte) As PIS
   Dim p As PIS
   p.Initialize
   Dim raf As RandomAccessFile
   raf.Initialize3(data, True) 'change the endianess if the version number is incorrect
   p.BuildVersionNumber = raf.ReadShort(0)
   p.PacketType = raf.ReadSignedByte(raf.CurrentPosition)
   Dim buffer(64) As Byte
   p.CarName = ReadString(raf, buffer)
   p.TrackLocation = ReadString(raf, buffer)
   p.TrackVariation = ReadString(raf, buffer)
   For i = 0 To p.Name.Length
     p.Name(i) = ReadString(raf, buffer)
   Next
   Return p
End Sub

Private Sub ReadString(raf As RandomAccessFile, buffer() As Byte) As String
   raf.ReadBytes(buffer, 0, buffer.Length, raf.CurrentPosition)
   Return BytesToString(buffer, 0, buffer.Length, "utf8")
End Sub

Erel wins dodgy acronym of the day award for

Type PIS (BuildVersionNumber.......

On a serious note , you could use JNA Structure to get the data too

It starts with this... Seems the b4j log cut the output

Something like

Thank you very much for the sample!!! It was a really help to get this working

I´m working on defining the desired ParseMethod for the telemetry packet right now

I´ll keep you informed

 

[DonManfred]

On a serious note , you could use JNA Structure to get the data too

Can you explain or even give a link to more information about this? (but i´ll try to do a search for it too)

I gues you are talking about the \jna-master\src\com\sun\jna\Structure.java?

Do you have an example on how to use this from B4J?

 

[Erel]

There is no good reason to implement it in native code.

 

[Daestrum]

I must agree with Erel as there are so few packet types, you would end up writing far more code than using pure B4J.

If RandomAccessFile is an nio.ByteBuffer, then that is probably the cleanest solution to use.

 

[DonManfred]

Just if you are interested... It´s not finished though but it is a working start
