What did you expect to see?

Successfully build.

What did you see instead?

Build error (packages beginning with Java are not found).

[hajimehoshi]

The situation has changed a little: the current error message is

$ gomobile bind golang.org/x/mobile/example/reverse/reverse
gomobile: failed to find Java class android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity, embedded by reverse.MainActivity

Is this expected?

[eliasnaur]

That's expected, you can't directly gomobile bind the reverse package since it depends on Java classes defined by the gradle build. Go to example/reverse/android and run gradlew installDebug from there instead.

[hajimehoshi]

Thank you. I've succeeded gradle on macOS.

BTW, can I request a feature to make it enable to gomobile-bind this without gradle?

[eliasnaur]

You can do so already, by replicating what the gobind gradle plugin does. For simple cases, adding -classpath to gomobile will be enough. For the hard cases where Go code references Java code that itself references Go types, the the gobind tool is used to generate the Java classes for exported Go types and functions, breaking the reference cycle.

[hajimehoshi]

Thanks, but I still don't understand what path should be specified for classpath.

[eliasnaur]

the gomobile bind takes a -classpath argument that should point to the class path with (in your case) the support library. Den tir. 7. feb. 2017 17.28 skrev Hajime Hoshi <notifications@github.com>:

Thanks, but I still don't understand what path should be specified for classpath. What did you mean "classpath to gomobile"? — You are receiving this because you commented.

I've managed to build the reverse.go example with gradle successfully, but how is that when I add some java.lang imports to the reverse.go:

import (
	"Java/android/databinding/DataBindingUtil"
	"Java/android/os"
	"Java/android/support/v7/app"
	gopkg "Java/reverse"
	rlayout "Java/reverse/R/layout"
	"Java/reverse/databinding"
	"Java/reverse/databinding/ActivityMainBinding"
	"Java/java/lang/Float"
	"Java/java/lang"
)

then use it somewhere:

type MainActivity struct {
	app.AppCompatActivity
	binding databinding.ActivityMainBinding
	f lang.Float
}

and run ./gradlew assembleDebug then gobind will fail on that it cannot find java.lang packages?

I've mailed https://go-review.googlesource.com/38635 that should fix your case.
