[jira] Closed: (FELIX-1156) Allow Felix to work on Android 1.5 with no hack

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1156?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Clement Escoffier closed FELIX-1156.
------------------------------------


The issue is fixed, and it's now possible to embed Felix inside a Android application without any permissions issue and by relying on a public (more stable) API.

> To run Felix on Android, it generally require to have the root access to the device to grant permissions on the dalvik-cache (http://ipojo-dark-side.blogspot.com/2008/10/ipojo-on-android.html). Moreover, Felix loads dex files by relying on an internal/private API of Android.
> Android 1.5 (CupCake) provides a method to load DEX file. This method is public, is part of the API and allows to turn around the permission issue.
