[Soot-list] Problem running the Android Instrumentation example

[Behnam]

Hi All,

I am trying to run the example AndroidInstrument driver on a very simple 
app, and after hours of work, this is where I am stuck.

behnam at behnam-Precision-T1600:~/tcal/responsiveness/soot/stable$ 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java -cp soot-trunk-nightly.jar soot.Main 
-cp . -pp  AndroidInstrument -android-jars 
/home/behnam/tcal/responsiveness/soot/stable/android-platforms 
-process-dir respdroid.apk

Note 1: the app's target api was 17.
Note 2: I used the default JDK for Android Studio, which is 1.8.
Note 3: AndroidInstrument is the same exact example file from Soot 
Android Instrumentation tutorial.

I would highly appreciate any help.
