[Soot-list] Help with FastHierarchy.isSubclass(SootClass child, SootClass parent)

[Henddher Pedroza]

Thank you Eric. I double checked and both SQLiteOpenHelper and Activity 
are included in android.jar.

$ jar tvf android.jar
...
25310 Wed Jul 11 02:08:44 CDT 2012 android/app/Activity.class
...
2188 Wed Jul 11 02:08:46 CDT 2012 
android/database/sqlite/SQLiteOpenHelper.class
...

The issue seems to be more complex that I originally realized:
Some classes in my jar file make soot complain about hierarchy with 
either one of the 2 classes mentioned.
IOW, ClassA in jar triggers the NPE at 151 with SQLiteOpenHelper while 
ClassB triggers it with Activity. Others are correctly identified in the 
hierarchy.

Any suggestion?
Perhaps the Options I am using are incorrect/incomplete?
I am using something like this

         Options.v().set_process_dir(Arrays.asList(new String[] { 
jarFile }));

         String[] sootClassPathArray = new String[] {
"/home/me/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-16/android.jar",
"/home/me/android-sdk-linux/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google-16/libs/maps.jar",
                 jarFile
         };

         Options.v().set_whole_program(true);
         Options.v().set_app(true);
         Options.v().set_exclude(Arrays.asList(new String[] {
                 "android.",
                 "dalvik.",
                 "com.google.android.",
                 "com.android.",
                 "org.apache.http.",
                 "org.json.",
                 "org.w3c.",
                 "org.xml.",
                 "org.xmlpull.",
                 "junit.",
         }));
Options.v().set_soot_classpath(toPath(sootClassPathArray)); // toPath 
inserts ":" path separator as needed
         Options.v().set_allow_phantom_refs(true); // allow missing 
classes in the hierarchy
         Scene.v().loadNecessaryClasses();

         hierarchy = Scene.v().getOrMakeFastHierarchy();
