Any instructions to use the tool?

[liberatorqjw]

Please share the guideline if anyone has figured out already how to run this
testing tool.

What is the point of publishing a tool publicly if no one is able to use that?

It would be helpful if you state your specific problem in an issue by describing what you have done so far, your expected outcome, and the experienced failure. The point of publishing code as an ammendment to scientific papers is to provide fellow researchers insights into the implementation, not to upload a point-and-click tool.

As a general starting point, you should try the following:

• Clone the project and import it into eclipse using "Import from existing project".
• Make sure the project compiles in eclipse, i.e. there are no compiler errors.
• Install the Android SDK (mine is in /opt/android-sdk) and create a new virtual device to run in the Android emulator (for me, Android 4.x runs much faster, while 5.x is almost unusable in emulator)
• Start the Android emulator
• Run ConDroid. The main class is "acteve.instrumentor.Main". I set my VM arguments to "-Xms4G -Xmx8G -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=1G -ea -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=DEBUG" to give it more memory and enable assertions. As program arguments, you may pass the name of the APK file you want to instrument.
  (There should already be a .launch-config file in Git).

So, the building is done by eclipse currently. If you want to re-build the a3tstubs.jar and a3tsymbolic.jar, you may call "ant compile-symbolic dist".

Thank you for your reply but when i run it, i have see the errors as follow:

so , how can i solve the problem

[liberatorqjw]

And I use the args of run is /home/liberator/SendSMS.apk

[majestyhao]

I encountered the same problem before. Solving it by removing unnecessary dependencies. Check your classpath in your IDE, especially IntelliJ.

Hi,
@majestyhao could you give us more informations about which dependencies need to be removed ?
