Daniela, I am working within application space myself, so I rely and can talk about the stuff that is publicly available through Android's public Java APIs. If you need to modify platform, then it is out of my depths, but I am sure there will be people that will point you towards something, however this group is only about Android SDK. Have a look at 'android-platform' group. I still don't understand what exactly you want to check/verify within an application. There can be plenty aspects of an application that you could check and each of those will pose different problems and will force you down different routes. - would you like to add a layer of additional security? say only classes from verified publishers can be executed? - would you like to search for use of some important to you APIs? - would you like to reverse engineer the app, to find out the dependencies between the classes? - ... I suggested the packages, as some of the calls allow you to query the platform for various things, admittedly quite high level view of the platform. Finally, I don't feel qualified to tell, whether your approach is right or wrong. Maybe this link will have some answers or will direct you towards more specific questions: http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dexopt.html Good luck, -- Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
