Soot has no components for processing Android layout files. If you want to work with Android apps in an analysis based on Soot, you can make use of the FlowDroid parser components included in the soot-infoflow-android project. The FlowDroid project, however, works on compiled APK files, not on the original source files. Generally, Soot’s bytecode / dex code front end is much more stale and up-to-date than the front end for Java source code.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br>What exactly are you trying to do?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> Steven<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Von:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> soot-list-bounces@CS.McGill.CA [mailto:soot-list-bounces@CS.McGill.CA] <b>Im Auftrag von </b>Sanjay Thakur<br><b>Gesendet:</b> Samstag, 13.
