ArrayList converts bytes to str

[wensheng]

from jnius import autoclass

ArrayList = autoclass("java.util.ArrayList")

md = ArrayList()
md.add(b'hello')
md.add(b'world')

print(type(md.get(0)))  # should be bytes, but is str
print(md.get(0))  # should be b'hello', but is 'hello'

Added bytes to ArrayList, but got str back.

Is it possible to get it fixed?

Sadly none of the maintainers, have much time for the project currently, so i wouldn't expect it to be solved on its own. If you want to investigate and propose a fix, we'll do our best to review it timely.

Thanks for reporting it anyway.
