[Soot-list] About Instrumenting Android Apps with Soot

[吕颖俊]

Hi, thanks for adding Android support in Soot.

May I ask you a question about Android Instrumentation?

Suppose you want to manually add some extra code to log the execution duration of each method call automatically, and you use Soot to implement this function.

Is there any difficulty on Android instrumentation by using Soot?

Best Regards,

Winson LV

Hello Lv,

I tried but failed to install and run the apk after instrumented with Soot. To verify it is my problem or not, I empty the instrumentation code, which means there is no instrumentation done by me at all. But the problems still exist (before instrumentation the app can be successfully executed in emulator). The target application I use is APV whose version is 0.4.0, the platform is android-17.

If  you want to track the execution, you can use ddms. To be more specific, you can use TraceView to record the execution at run time.

Cheers!
Victor

Hi all.

In general this should work. In fact, we are preparing a tutorial on this very topic right now. We will give the tutorial at the RV conference this year, and probably also at CCS.

Having said that, yes, there might still be bugs in the implementation. If you find any, please report them using our bug tracker. Thanks!

Cheers,
Eric
