All, This is not strictly related to Android app development, so apologies in advance as it is slightly off topic here. However, as I have promised other people that I was working in the project in the past, I thought I would give it a small plug here. For the past year or so, my colleagues and I have been working on Android security, particularly approaches based on binary rewriting. One tangible result of our efforts is now publicly available: a binary instrumentation framework for Dalvik bytecode:
http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/PL/redexer/index.html The system is mainly useful if you're both willing to work with OCaml and also working at a fairly low level (i.e., willing to touch the bytecode in a fairly direct way). In its current state, it is not intended to be run on devices, it's strictly for offline processing of Dalvik binaries. The applications for this range from simple transformations such as binary rewriting to more heavyweight such as static analysis and symbolic execution. As I've mentioned it here, I might as well give a small plug to an automatd testing tool one of my coworkers has written: https://github.com/plum-umd/troyd This is a small wrapper on top of Robotium (though I don't believe it works as of 4.0), it's not supposed to be a huge app testing framework, but we've used it successfully for smaller scale testing of Android apps and perhaps you might gain some inspiration from it too!
