Integrating jadx library in Android > API 26

[localacct]

Issue details

Hi

I read from the wiki that Jadx should be supported on Android > API 26 and I want to integrate it into my Android Studio project.

I encounter this error when I tried to run the apk. The code snippet is converted from the wiki page as well

        val jadxArgs = JadxArgs()
        jadxArgs.setInputFile(File("/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<package name>/files/classes.dex"))
        jadxArgs.outDir = File("/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<package name>/files/output")
        try {
            JadxDecompiler(jadxArgs).use { jadx ->
                jadx.load()
                jadx.save()

                for (cls in jadx.getClasses()) {
                    for (mth in cls.getMethods()) {
                        Log.v("conversion", "method " + mth.name)

                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }

Relevant log output or stacktrace

Provide sample and class/method full name

I tested this on an Android Emulator running Android OS version 12. I have granted these permissions in my AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Jadx version

jadx-core:1.5.0
