How to run my own string analysis? #10

Open fpb1386 opened 4 years ago

I want to run string analysis for Android application. I write config according to README.md. I successfully run violist, but I obtain no results. The example apk is successfully analyzed. The following is my configure file: androidJarPath=webview/android-8 parentFolderOfApk=webview/App apkName=app-debug.apk loopUnraveledTime=2 <android.webkit.WebView : void loadUrl (java.lang.String)>@1 Does the lack of "classlist.txt" file is the reason of no analysis results? I have one question? How can I obtain the "classlist.txt" for my own application? What classes are included in "classlist.txt"?

The current version of Violist no longer needs the "classlist.txt". The example app should work even without the "classlist.txt" file. I think it may due the method signature you provide not matching Soot's format of method signature. Can you change your provided signature to <android.webkit.WebView: void loadUrl (java.lang.String)>@1

Thanks very much for your reply. I just set the wrong method signature. I just make the mistake that the example app needs "classlist.txt" file to run. I have successfully analyzed may own app with Violist.
