Dex Oat Felix Android

[Jörg Wille <jo...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to run Felix on Android 8.1, targeting API 27.
I have dexified my test-bundle with this
<https://github.com/luoqii/felix-on-android/blob/master/dexify.sh> script.
Felix does start and the bundle gets successfully installed
(context.installBundle(url, is)).
But when I try to start the bundle I get following exception:

Opening an oat file without a class loader. Are you using the deprecated
DexFile APIs?

The DexFile is being used by Felix in
Class org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl (1342) and I have read
<https://developer.android.com/reference/dalvik/system/DexFile.html> that
the DexFile class is deprecated since Android API 26.
But although deprecated, I checked that this class is still part of the API
27, so this felix code should actually still work.

Could the above exception have to do with using Android 8.1 API 27?
Has anyone had success running Felix on Android 8.1? Is there a example
code for running felix on (any version of) Android?
Or am I missing something? Do I maybe have to also "OATify" the bundle
before I can load it?

Best regards,
Jörg

Yeah, our android support is pretty old and I was thinking for a while
that we probably would need to rework it based on a PathClassLoader. I
just never had the time/motivation to look into it.

Can you maybe create a JIRA issue for it and I'll try to get to it
(obviously, patches are welcome :-).

regards,

Karl
