AndroidPreFlightChecks

public AndroidPreFlightChecks(AndroidEntryPointManager manager,
 IClassHierarchy cha)

Method Details

all

public boolean all()

Perform all checks defined in this class.

Returns:

if the checks passed

allBut

public boolean allBut(Set<AndroidPreFlightChecks.Test> skip)

Perform all checks defined in this class but the listed ones.

Parameters:

skip - checks not to perform

Returns:

if the checks passed

checkOverridesInPlace

public boolean checkOverridesInPlace()

The Overrides are needed to resolve intents in the startComponent-Calls.

Without these overrides the startComponent-Calls will not be overridden. In a static analysis there won't be a way to resolve the actual target of the call.

Returns:

if check passed TODO: this doesn't check anything yet

• IntentContextSelector

checkStubsVersion

public boolean checkStubsVersion()

Checks whether stubs are recent enough to contain some used functions.

If the stubs are to old some parts that rely on these functions may be skipped entirely.

Returns:

if check passed

checkIntentSpecs

public boolean checkIntentSpecs()

Is enough info present to resolve Intents.

This information is needed by the startComponent-functions in order to resolve the target of the call (if enough context is present).

If this information is unavailable the call will be resolved to the function AndroidModel.Class.startUNKNOWNComponent which will call all Components of the specific type (Activity, Service, ..) present in the application.

Returns:

if check passed

checkAllComponentsReuse

public boolean checkAllComponentsReuse()

In order to for the startComponent-calls to work components should be set reuse.

If components are _not_ set reuse the following will happen:

* The caller context can not be set * No result will be transmitted back to onActivityResult

Returns:

if the test passed

checkNoObjectInEntryPoints

public boolean checkNoObjectInEntryPoints()

Check if an Entrypoint takes an object.
