Android/Uses Library

(attempting to estimate the effect of <uses-library> on an app)

• Code
  

  PackageParser:

  • http://androidxref.com/9.0.0_r3/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/pm/PackageParser.java#3783

  PackageManagerService:

  • http://androidxref.com/9.0.0_r3/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService.java
  • http://androidxref.com/9.0.0_r3/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService.java#5018
• Observations
  
  • The cost is that dexopt will run on the libraries first.

  Mentions that the odex's will be mmapped in.
