Unity allows you to call Java and Kotlin code directly from C# scripts and integrate Android-specific features in your Unity project. To achieve this, Unity provides C# APIs that communicate with the Android Java Native Interface (JNI) through C++. You can choose between low level and high level APIs to interact with the Java code using JNI.
Refer to the following sections for detailed information on how to call Java and Kotlin plug-inA set of code created outside of Unity that creates functionality in Unity. There are two kinds of plug-ins you can use in Unity: Managed plug-ins (managed .NET assemblies created with tools like Visual Studio) and Native plug-ins (platform-specific native code libraries).
