dex65536's Issues

Using loaded classes in Application

I'm facing the problem that I'm not able to call a class packaged in a JAR, in my Application on onCreate(), after calling dexTool(). However, I can call it within my Activity.
Any suggestions?

How to sign in release environment ?

I found something about sign in release ENV，but how ? below is the description in your demo（custom_rules.xml）:
release: Builds the application. The generated apk file must be
signed before it is published.
The 'nodeps' target can be used to only build the
current project and ignore the libraries using:
'ant nodeps release'

PLS help me: How to use this command signature.(I already have a signature file)

Must use reflect to invoke class

I found that we must use reflect to invoke class method.

i took the updated clone still i am getting the same build failed error , can u please suggest me with this .....

in the project.properties,I have some my own -keep

in the project.properties,I have some my own -keeps, when I called "android update project - p",the file "project.properties" content auto changed to

-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
public *;
}

and the app can install normally, but it cannot open, and lots of Lcom cannot find

what i can do by this?thanks

Question : Is it possible to load and run APK files during runtime?

Suppose that instead of a dex file, you have an entire APK file that you wish to run.

Since apps have more than just code: resources (strings, images,...) , the manifest, and the assets folder, this can be quite tricky.

Such a thing is done on "DevAppsDirect" app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inappsquared.devappsdirect

Could this library help in achieving this?
If so, how?

Runtime annotated classes not found

Hello.

First of all thank you for sharing your code and build script with us, it is very helpful. I did manage to setup my projects and there are no compilation issues. But there is one thing that I cannot get my head around.

I'm using ORMLite for Android and for some reason the DatabaseHelper (extends OrmLiteSqliteOpenHelper) can't be instantiated cause the annotated model classes cannot be found.

I tried running my project using the provided build file without dexing the libraries to find out if the project would run without the dexTool class loading. It doesn't work. So the problem is not with the dexTool but has something to do with annotation of the data model classes and the build script.

I will try to figure out what is causing the annotated classes missing from the apk but I'm not very familiar with the whole Android build script so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Brgds,
Eduard
