This article explains how to set up Rust for Android development, covering installation, creating a demo project, using JNI to call Rust functions, building the shared library, integrating it into an Android app, and designing a scalable architecture with event dispatch and Protobuf.
This article examines the challenges of Android native .so libraries—including ABI incompatibility, duplicate and conflicting binaries, and unnecessary exported symbols—while presenting practical detection tools, static vs. dynamic STL linking strategies, loading process analysis, and comprehensive governance solutions to keep app size and stability in check.
This article explains how Youku tackled the large package size, thread‑explosion, and memory overhead introduced by integrating the Alipay mini‑program framework, using remote .so loading, layered dependency management, a unified thread pool, and lazy initialization to improve performance and stability.
The article explains Android native crashes (NE) by describing .so file composition, the need for un‑stripped libraries, how to view and generate stripped/un‑stripped binaries, and detailed workflows using ndk‑stack, DropBox, BreakPad, objdump, addr2line, and minidump_stackwalk to reconstruct stack traces and pinpoint source lines.
This article examines the Android shared library (SO) loading mechanism, identifies security vulnerabilities, and presents a method of packing the SO to hinder reverse engineering, detailing each loading step, challenges across Android versions, and before‑after protection results.
This article presents a detailed overview of Android app security threats, the essential components of an Android project, the full APK build and decompilation process, and a range of reverse‑engineering tools and protection strategies—including Smali analysis, SO manipulation, and signing bypass—to help developers safeguard their applications against piracy and data tampering.
