[Soot-list] Instrumenting Android library classes

[Peter Kim]

Hello,

Could a Soot expert please explain how to instrument Android library
classes? I am trying to instrument a class within an android.* library
package but it is not being picked up by Soot. It seems like Soot is trying
to do the instrumentation using class files in android.jar, which I have
been told actually does not contain all the classes and for many classes
only contains the signatures, not method bodies. But if the instrumentation
is done against jimple constructed from dx format, then I'm not sure why
Soot is not able to instrument library classes since they must all be
available in entirety in dx format.

Thank you.
