We dig more about the native method call processing flow of dvm with source code.
When a transmit from java to native occurs, dvm sets up a native stack.
In dvmCallJNIMethod(), dvmPlatformInvoke is used to call the native method(signature in Method.insns).

1182 (ClassObject*) staticMethodClass,
1183 method->jniArgInfo, method->insSize, modArgs, method->shorty,
