[Soot-list] Why FlowDroid invokes one activity multiple times in dummyMainMethod()

[Wei Yang]

Hi! Xinxin,
     Your question is not very clear. Are you referring to call graph when
you say " dummyMainMethod() invokes an Activity called
SessionLivestreamActivity "? Activity normally has multiple entry point
methods (e.g. onCreate(), onStop() ), so it is likely that in an call
graph, the same activity could appear on several CG nodes.

Thanks!

Best wishes,
David
