Hi all, flowdroid seems to be a very interesting project with unlimited capabilities. I am very new to Android and I am looking into a way of checking if a specific class is being used in Java or a function in native code in C/C++. My idea is to try to detect if the corresponding import for the class I am looking is happening in Java or the corresponding include for a function in C/C++. As i am not fully grasping how flowdroid works and what it can do and to be honest I did not fully got how the sources and the sinks work I am not sure if my goal can be achieved using it.

Therefore i could use your help in the following two things

  • verify that flowdroid can be used to detect the import/include (or if it can directly detect classes/functions)
  • Give me an example on how this could be done.

Thank you in advance for any help you might provide.

Best, Myr
