[Soot-list] Accepting APK files

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Marianna,

 

The APK does not need to be on the Soot classpath. Putting it into the process-dir parameter is totally sufficient. You, however, forgot to specify the Android platform libraries that Soot shall use. You need to provide either the –android-jars or the –force-android-jar parameter.

 

Soot should give you a corresponding error message. Did you double-check your console output?

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Betreff: [Soot-list] Accepting APK files

 

Hello!

 

I would like to use the Java String Analyzer (http://www.brics.dk/JSA/) on Android applications.


I have been trying to get Soot to accept an apk file as follows:

 

String apkDir = "path/to/apk/directory";

Scene.v().setSootClassPath(Scene.v().getSootClassPath() + File.pathSeparator + apkDir);

Options.v().set_android_jars("/usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/24.2/platforms");
Options.v().set_src_prec(Options.src_prec_apk);
Options.v().set_output_format(Options.output_format_dex);

soot.Main.main(new String[] { "-process-dir", apkDir, "--app", "cgeo.geocaching.MainActivity" });

Chain<SootClass> applicationClasses = Scene.v().getApplicationClasses();
Chain<SootClass> classes = Scene.v().getClasses();
When I debug this program I see that the classes chain contains 130 elements and the applicationClasses chain is empty. The MainActivity class is not part of classes either (as are no classes of the apk).
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
Marianna
