triggerJSEvent fails with null object reference

Capacitor
1

I’m trying to dispatch an event from native java code to javascript environments to trigger some javascript functions. I tried using triggerJSEvent but to no success. I tried the official documentation, code from forum but they all won’t work.

The code:

@CapacitorPlugin(name = "TestEvent")
public class TestEvent extends Plugin {
    Bridge myBridge;

    @Override
    public void load() {
        myBridge = bridge;
    }

    @PluginMethod
    public void testCall() {
        /*
        The problematic part:
         */

        // A. As-is from official documentation (https://capacitorjs.com/docs/core-apis/android#triggerjsevent)
        //bridge.triggerJSEvent("testEvent", "window", "{ 'testKey': 'dataValue' }");

        // B. Creating a copy and referencing bridge from it (https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/capacitor-v3-plugin-addeventlistener-and-triggerjsevent-lacking-and-dont-work-as-described/206641/3)
        myBridge.triggerJSEvent("testEvent", "window", "{ 'testKey': 'dataValue' }");
    }
}

Here’s the error log:

It seems like there’s a bug with that function or official documentation is wrong or outdated.
I literally searched everywhere to search for some example codes, but I couldn’t find much. These are some codes(reference) I’ve tried:

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a better/alternative way of calling a javascript function from native java code?
