[Soot-list] Using Soot to Process Android Source Code Files

[Mingyi Zhao]

Hi All,

I just started using Soot. And I am trying to use it to process Android
source code files.

To get started, I downloaded a sample program called RepeatingAlarm from
Google:
http://developer.android.com/samples/RepeatingAlarm/index.html

Then I have downloaded the nightly build version of Soot and put android.jar
and android-17-api.jar in the current folder.

Then I tried using both the command line mode and the driver class provided
at:
http://www.bodden.de/2013/01/08/soot-android-instrumentation/

For the command line mode, I use the following command:

java -cp soot-trunk.jar soot.Main -cp . -pp -process-dir RepeatingAlarm

For the driver class, I use the following argument:

-android-jars . -process-dir RepeatingAlarm

I also changed the "src_prec_apk" to "src_prec_java" in the code.



However, they both give me the following error:

Could you please tell me where I could possibly go wrong?

Thank you very much!
