I'm afraid I know very little about the android dalvik VM. If I were guessing I'd assume it is vaguely like a J2ME platform with similar kinds of restriction (threads, reflection, etc). We have had long standing issues with AspectJ and J2ME. If you use some parts of the language it works ok, but using other parts produces code that won't run on J2ME. Perhaps the story will be the same for Android. Basically we would need to produce an alternative version of aspectjrt.jar that is more suited to these kinds of environment. (And we'd remove a lot of stuff that is in the current aspectjrt.jar that makes no sense on those platforms).
If you try it and have issues, feel free to raise bugs for them. Andy On 18 October 2010 17:12, Luis Miguel Serrano <luis.miguel.santos.serr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello.
