title: How to call a static JNI function from Kotlin?
body: <p>It wouldn't be a problem in Java but in Kotlin, we don't have static. We have companion objects for the same purpose, however, being extra objects, they get a mangled name in JNI calls (Java_package_Type00024Companion_function) and this doesn't match up with what JNI expects. Calling it from the main class, obviously, results in a JNI error in <code>GetStaticMethodID</code>.</p>
