[Soot-list] Soot not able to process the source code of android applications

[Sanjay Thakur]

Hello all,
I have been trying to analyze the source code of Android applications. The
soot is not able to reference and process the non-java components (which
are actually the xml components) like the TextView and the layout file. I
have tried using the exclude list with "R." but got no success. Here is my
sample code:

Options.v().set_android_jars(pathToAndroidJarForSoot);
Options.v().set_soot_classpath("/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/rt.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/jce.jar:/home/sanjay/Android/Sdk/platforms/android-21/android.jar");
Options.v().set_src_prec(Options.src_prec_java);
Options.v().set_allow_phantom_refs(true);
List<String> excludeList = new LinkedList<String>();
excludeList.add("R.");
Options.v().set_exclude(excludeList);
Options.v().set_no_bodies_for_excluded(true);
Options.v().set_process_dir(Collections.singletonList(pathToDirectory));
Options.v().set_whole_program(true);
......
......



The errors look like the following
