Java program runs in its own VM call DalvikVM, and you use logcat to see the tracing of all java API executed in this way. If you use strace, it is meaningless as you are actually tracing both the DalvikVM and is intepretation of the Java bytecodes. -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Linux Kernel Development" group.
