Hi everyone, this might sound foolish, but I was exploring Dalvik source code last couple of days to get to know what MultiDex support library is actually doing. Okay, after app build has completed we get one main .dex file and one or more secondary .dex files. Those are then patched in Application.attachBaseContext(). However, I found out that DexPathList <https://android.googlesource.com/platform/libcore-snapshot/+/ics-mr1/dalvik/src/main/java/dalvik/system/DexPathList.java> (owned by Dalvik's classloader PathClassLoader) method called splitAndAdd iterates through all files in current directory and populates a list of elements that's passed to 'makeDexElements' method. So, wouldn't secondary dexes be added by default even without MultiDex.install(...)?
