[Soot-list] FlowDroid's handling on dynamically-registered broadcast receivers

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Roy,

You are mixing up two different concepts. Please do read the paper. FlowDroid iteratively builds a dummy main method that models the event dispatching behavior of the Android operating system. Based on this method, the final call graph is created. This dummy main method is the only entry point that gets passed to Soot. The individual components are not entry points with respect to Soot.

The entry point creator also has an internal notion of entry points which is the component classes that are used as seeds for the generation of the dummy main method. Callbacks are handled on top of that and are not added to this list of seeds.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Best regards,
Steven
