accessing a file in dalvik directory from frameworks directory in android root

0 votes

I was experimenting something with Android native code and it needs to access a file in dalvik/vm folder from a .cpp file in frameworks/base/core/jni ... I would like to know if this is even possible through #include or some other technique. I think #include may not be the right way to do it and wold like to know if my purpose can be somehow achieved.

What are you trying to do? Presumably this won't be possible if you're doing it in an app setting: this only makes sense if you're compiling with the system!

Still, if you need this then it's really strange that you'd even be considering writing an app: since I can't think of any reason these includes would be necessary in an app-type scenario.

I'm not doing this in an app setting. I'm compiling from source and modifying some android libraries. I need to instrument them to collect some information.

Set Dalvik execution mode in /data/local.prop using Android

I tried to run Dalvik in portable mode by setting /data/local.prop as follows:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode = int:portable

But after I reboot the device (which is a Nexus 7), app_process (hosting zygote) still starts in jit mode.

However, if I run:

adb shell stop
adb shell setprop dalvik.vm.execution-mode int:portable
adb shell start

Then app_process will run in portable mode. Is /data/local.prop deprecated or something is missing here?
