[Soot-list] Counting android API calls made in Jimple

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Ben,

 

That’s indeed the most efficient way to do it. There is no special function that would collect the API calls for you.

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Betreff: [Soot-list] Counting android API calls made in Jimple

 

Hi All,

I am looking to use Soot for  analysis of android applications: counting the number of calls each method makes to the android APIs (android.*). My plan is to turn the apk files to .jimple then run soot on these to find any such calls.

I have worked my way through both the GotoProfiler and the Android examples. My question is: are there explicit Stmt classes to find android API calls (similar to the GotoStmt in the profiler example)? The only method I have come up with so far is to use 
SootMethod.getSignature().contains("android.") to identify if an InvokeExpr references an android API call.



Thanks for your help,

Ben
