    Hi, working on a plug in. Was wondering if there was a way to pass complex data from android to unity. I am aware of the UnityPlayer.UnitySendMessage static method, but it only allows for sending of strings. I guess I could serialize the data to json... but uugh. no.

    Moreover, while were on it, is there any way to register delegates / callbacks ? I really hate having to rely on a game object to act as a communication proxy.

    Just a follow up, It is possible.

    The trick is to write a native C plugin to arbitrate between java and c#.

    Hey I am stuck at a similar problem. Do you have any resources about the native c plugin route.
    JSON serialization just seems overkill.

    cheers!
