I am trying to run Felix on Android 8.1, targeting API 27. I have dexified my test-bundle with this <https://github.com/luoqii/felix-on-android/blob/master/dexify.sh> script. Felix does start and the bundle gets successfully installed (context.installBundle(url, is)). But when I try to start the bundle I get following exception:
Opening an oat file without a class loader. Are you using the deprecated DexFile APIs? The DexFile is being used by Felix in Class org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl (1342) and I have read <https://developer.android.com/reference/dalvik/system/DexFile.html> that the DexFile class is deprecated since Android API 26. But although deprecated, I checked that this class is still part of the API 27, so this felix code should actually still work. Could the above exception have to do with using Android 8.1 API 27? Has anyone had success running Felix on Android 8.1? Is there a example code for running felix on (any version of) Android? Or am I missing something? Do I maybe have to also "OATify" the bundle before I can load it? Best regards, Jörg
