Creating API call graph with FlowDroid

[AMS003010]

Hello @StevenArzt 🖐️😁

I am very new to FlowDroid and loved the features that the application provides. Its Amazing !!!

I had a apk file and wanted to generate a API call graph for it. I have set MAVEN_HOME and ANDROID_HOME environment variables. I had a successful build with maven after executing the below commands

git checkout origin/develop
mvn -DskipTests install

The fact is I have no clue as to how to proceed anymore. Would be great if anyone could help be with this. I know its a lot !! 😅 Would be great if you do....

You have built FlowDroid from source code, which is a good first step. For constructing a callgraph, you create your own Java program and reference FlowDroid as a Maven dependency. You will need two dependencies:

	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>de.fraunhofer.sit.sse.flowdroid</groupId>
			<artifactId>soot-infoflow-android</artifactId>
			<version>2.14.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>de.fraunhofer.sit.sse.flowdroid</groupId>
			<artifactId>soot-infoflow</artifactId>
			<version>2.14.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>

You can then instantiate the SetupApplication class and call the constructCallgraph method.
