[Soot-list] Why classes in the library "android.support.v4" are regarded as application classes?

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Zipeng,

 

These classes are contained in your APK file and are thus considered application classes. Your whole APK file is Soot’s process dir and that makes all contents application classes. You can however use the Soot exclude options to remove them from the set of application classes. The Infoflow / SetupApplication classes have setSootConfig() methods which allow you to provide a custom Soot configuration to adapt exactly such options.

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Hi all,

 

    I analyzed an android application and found that classes defined in "android.support.v4" were analyzed.

 

    Then I print "Scene.v().getApplicationClasses()" and found that classes in "android.support.v4" were contained in it.

 

    Analyzing those classes will consume more time, how to forbid it?

 

    Thanks!
