RV-Android is a comprehensive effort to bring runtime verification to
Android. RV-Android uses RV-Monitor as a library generation backend
(runtimeverification.com/monitor) and JavaMOP for aspect weaving.
RV-Cloud is also used in the GUI, on-device flavor of this project to
provide cloud weaving and instrumentation of binary applications.
RV-Android is currently under active development, and is only recommended for an advanced developer audience familiar with both runtime verification and Android development and concepts. We are working to add interfaces for developers not familiar with these technologies, so check back periodically for updates.
RV-Android comes in three flavors, and are represented by the directories:
-
developer_src: Developer prototype for Android applciation developers allowing for instrumentation of Android apps with known source only.
-
beta/cli: A command-line, developer-targeted script allowing for arbitrary, binary applications to be instrumented with any monitors and aspects provided. Instrumentation is currently separate from library generation, so familiarity with both RV-Monitor and AspectJ is important. This is the version we recommend if you are interested in exploring RV-Android.
-
beta/gui: An unfinished, not yet working Android app allowing for on-device monitor generation and instrumentation together with RV-Cloud.
Please see the README.md files in each respective directory for more information and usage instructions, along with the RV-Monitor documentation at runtimeverification.com/monitor/docs.
