Hi, 
I would like to ask how to feed WALA with the main class , while I have no single main method ( single entry point) in Android?
I've read about Thresher and Hooper, but it still is not clear for me how to use them to solve the problem? 
I would be so thankful for any help!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Hanin

Hi Hanin,

Droidel is the tool that Hopper used to generate harnesses for Android apps:


I don’t really know if it is up to date anymore.  There may be other tools to model Android entry points out there now; I’m not too sure.  Hope that helps!

Best,
Manu

Hi Manu,
How are you?
unfortunately, Droidel is flow-insensitive, have you any other suggestions?
Best regards,
Hanin

Hi Hanin, no concrete suggestions related to WALA.  You could send a note to Eric Bodden or Ben Hermann who have both worked recently on Android static analysis.  They may have info on the availability of flow-sensitive harnesses.

Best,
Manu
