Interface in Room and Retrofit

When using the retrofit library, you create an interface that contains functions with all your endpoints but you never implement it anywhere. My question is where is this interface implemented? I have noticed the same pattern when creating a DAO when using android Room

They use two different approaches, Retrofit takes advantage of Java reflection proxy which is a tool to implement interfaces in runtime, your proxy's invoke method will retrieve the called method scheme through reflection and can work based on that. In fact retrofit can work with method metadata only.
Proxy is a way to create objects from interfaces without implementing them using code, but by a single invoke method which simply gets these arguments
#Override
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args)
throws Throwable {
Log.d("proxyCall", method.getName());
return Response (...);
}
You can get other info from method as well (like it's annotations e.g. #GET etc.)
On the other hand, Room uses annotation processors to generate code during compile time (you add it's processor a.k.a. compiler in the gradle configuration using annotationProcessor or kapt).
You can find the Room's generated source codes inside the build folder of your module.

Retrofit is used the Java Dynamic Proxy approach to create classes at runtime, and this requires an interface so you just need to define your Interface and retrofit will build a type-safe implementation of your interface at runtime.

Room Database uses the Annotation Processor and Reflection simultaneously. It uses Annotation Processor to generate Java Code for classes annotated as #DAO and #Database and generates implementation class with _Impl suffix.
It uses reflection to find the Database implementation class. When you call Room.databaseBuilder(context, AppDatabase.class, databaseName).build();It will call like this with the value of suffix being _Impl
#NonNull
static <T, C> T getGeneratedImplementation(Class<C> klass, String suffix) {
final String fullPackage = klass.getPackage().getName();
String name = klass.getCanonicalName();
final String postPackageName = fullPackage.isEmpty()
? name
: (name.substring(fullPackage.length() + 1));
final String implName = postPackageName.replace('.', '_') + suffix;
//noinspection TryWithIdenticalCatches
try {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
final Class<T> aClass = (Class<T>) Class.forName(
fullPackage.isEmpty() ? implName : fullPackage + "." + implName);
return aClass.newInstance();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("cannot find implementation for "
+ klass.getCanonicalName() + ". " + implName + " does not exist");
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Cannot access the constructor"
+ klass.getCanonicalName());
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create an instance of "
+ klass.getCanonicalName());
}
}
Room has limited the use of reflection so the speed of the room is not affected much by reflection

How to repackage HttpClient 4.3.1 and remove dependencies on commons-logging?

I want to repackage apache's httpclient lib to ship it with an android app (like https://code.google.com/p/httpclientandroidlib/ but with HttpClient 4.3.1)
Therefore, I downloaded the httpclient 4.3.1 jar (includes all its dependencies) by hand and used jarjar to repackage it:
x#x$: cd libs && for f in *.jar; do java -jar ../jarjar-1.4.jar process ../rules.txt $f out/my-$f; done
with rules.txt:
rule org.apache.http.** my.repackaged.org.apache.http.#1
Then I used ant to put the output together:
<project name="MyProject" default="merge" basedir=".">
<target name="merge">
<zip destfile="my-org-apache-httpclient-4.3.1.jar">
<zipgroupfileset dir="libs/out" includes="*.jar"/>
</zip>
</target>
</project>
I can use that file to develop and test my app, but if I deploy it on android, it throws an exception s/th like that it cannot find my.repackaged.org.apache.logging.log4j.something referenced by my.package.org.apache.logging.whatEver.
So, now I want to strip out any dependency on commons-logging by using bytecode manipulation. This has been done before: http://sixlegs.com/blog/java/dependency-killer.html
But I wonder how I actually do it? There are only dependencies on org.apache.commons.logging.Log:
x$x$: java -jar jarjar-1.4.jar find jar my-org-apache-httpclient-4.3.1.jar commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
my/http/impl/execchain/ServiceUnavailableRetryExec -> org/apache/commons/logging/Log
my/http/impl/execchain/RetryExec -> org/apache/commons/logging/Log
my/http/impl/execchain/RedirectExec -> org/apache/commons/logging/Log
my/http/impl/execchain/ProtocolExec -> org/apache/commons/logging/Log
...
I think the way to go is, to remove these dependencies and replace it with an own implementation like he did here https://code.google.com/p/httpclientandroidlib/ . Therefore, I made a new maven project with only one class with provided scope for the commons-logging that implements org.apache.commons.logging.Log interface and just delefates to the android.utils.Log:
MyLog implements org.apache.commons.logging.Log {}
in the package my.log and I packaged that in my-log-1.0.0.jar. I put that jar into the same folder as the repackaged httpclient-jars and used ant as mentioned above to package all together in my-org-apache-httpclient-4.3.1.jar.
Approach 1
I tried to use jarjar again:
java -jar jarjar-1.4.jar process rules2.txt my-org-apache-httpclient-4.3.1.jar my-org-apache-httpclient-4.3.1-without-logging-dep.jar
with rules2.txt:
rule my.repackaged.commons.logging.** my.log.#1
but that does not work. The exception that it cannot find my.repackaged.org.apache.logging.log4j.something referenced by my.package.org.apache.logging.whatEver is still thrown.
Approach 2
I also tried to delete the logging stuff from the final jar and/or repackage the my.repackaged.org.apache.log4j and logging to its original packages:
rules2.txt v2:
rule my.repackaged.org.apache.log4j.** org.apache.log4j.#1
rule my.repackaged.org.apache.logging.** org.apache.logging.#1
but that also is still throwing the excpetion: my.repackaged.org.apache.logging.log4j.something referenced by my.package.org.apache.logging.whatEver
QUESTION
How can I kill/replace that commons-logging dependencies and get rid of the Exception?

Introduction
If a program depends on a library it usually means that it uses methods of the library. Removing a dependency is therefore not a simple task. You effectively want to take away code that is - at least formally - required by the program.
There are three ways of removing dependencies:
Adapt the source code to not depend on the library and compile it from scratch.
Modify the bytecode to remove references to the library the project depends on.
Manipulate the runtime to not require the dependency. The easiest way is to recreate the required classes and to put them into the jar file.
None of these ways are really pretty. All of them can require a lot of work. None are guaranteed to work without side effects.
Solution
I will describe my solution by presenting the files and steps I used to solve the problem. To reproduce, you will need the following files (in a single directory):
lib/xxx-v.v.v.jar: The library jars (httpclient and dependencies, excluding commons-logging-1.1.3.jar)
jarjar-1.4.jar: Used for repackaging the jars
rules.txt: The jarjar rules
rule org.apache.http.** my.http.#1
rule org.apache.commons.logging.** my.logging.#1

do_everything.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Repackage library
mkdir -p out
for jf in lib/*.jar; do
java -jar jarjar-1.4.jar process rules.txt $jf `echo $jf | sed 's/lib\//out\//'`
done
# Compile logging implementation
mkdir -p java/bin
ant logimpl
# Merge jar files
ant merge
That's it. Open up a console and execute
cd my_directory && ./do_everything.sh
This will create a folder "out" containing single jar files and "httpclient-4.3.1.jar" which is the final, independent and working jar file. So, what did we just do?
Repackaged httpclient (now in my.http)
Modified the library to use my.logging instead of org.apache.commons.logging
Compiled required classes to be used by the library (my.logging.Log and my.logging.LogFactory).
Merged the repackaged libraries and the compiled classes into a single jar file, httpclient-4.3.1.jar.
Pretty simple, isn't it? Just read the shell script line by line to discover the single steps. To check whether all dependencies were removed you can run
java -jar jarjar-1.4.jar find class httpclient-4.3.1.jar commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
I tried the generated jar file with SE7 and Android 4.4, it worked in both cases (see below for remarks).
Class file version
Every class file has a major version and a minor version (both depend on the compiler). The Android SDK requires class files to have a major version less than 0x33 (so everything pre 1.7 / JDK 7). I added the target="1.5" attribute to the ant javac task so the generated class files have a major version of 0x31 and can therefore be included in your Android app.
Alternative (bytecode manipulation)
You're lucky. Logging is (almost always) a one-way operation. It barely causes side effects affecting the main program. That means that removing commons-logging should be possible as it won't affect the functionality of the program.
I chose the second way, bytecode manipulation, which you suggested in your question. The concept is basically just this (A is httpclient, B is commons-logging):
If the return type of a method of A is part of B, the return type will be changed to java.lang.Object.
If any argument of a method of A has a type that is part of B, the argument type will be changed to java.lang.Object.
Invocations of methods belonging to B are removed entirely. pop and constant instructions are inserted to repair the VM stack.
Types belonging to B are removed from descriptors of methods called from A. This requires the target class (the class containing the called method) to be processed. All object types belonging to B will be replaced with java.lang.Object.
Instructions that attempt to access fields of classes belonging to B are removed. pop and constant instructions are inserted to repair the VM stack.
If a method tries to access a field of a type that belongs to B, the field signature referenced by the instruction is changed to java.lang.Object. This requires the target class (the class containing the accessed field) to be processed.
Fields of a type contained in B but belonging to classes of A are modified so that their type is java.lang.Object.
As you can see, the idea behind this is to replace all referenced classes with java.lang.Object and to remove all accesses to class members belonging to commons-logging.
I don't know whether this is reliable and I did not test the library after applying the manipulator. But from what I saw (the disassembled class files and no VM errors while loading the class files) I am fairly sure the code works.
I tried to document almost everything the program does. It uses the ASM Tree API which provides rather simple access to the class file structure. And - to avoid unnecessary negative reviews - this is "quick 'n' dirty" code. I did not really test it a lot and I bet there are faster ways of bytecode manipulation. But this program seems to fulfill the OP's needs and that's all I wrote it for.

How does dalvik findlibrary?

first, in System.java, it calls Runtime to loadLibrary.
public static void loadLibrary(String libName) {
SecurityManager smngr = System.getSecurityManager();
if (smngr != null) {
smngr.checkLink(libName);
}
Runtime.getRuntime().loadLibrary(libName, VMStack.getCallingClassLoader());
}
second, it calles VMStack.getCallingClassLoader() to findLibrary.
void loadLibrary(String libraryName, ClassLoader loader) {
if (loader != null) {
String filename = loader.findLibrary(libraryName);
if (filename == null) {
throw new UnsatisfiedLinkError("Couldn't load " + libraryName + ": " +
"findLibrary returned null");
}
//....
}
}
So, i think VMStack.getCallingClassLoader() is the most meaningful.
But in its jni file dalvik_system_VMStack.cpp, the Dalvik_dalvik_system_VMStack_getCallingClassLoader function is hard to learn. And at last, how dalvik findLibrary?
static void Dalvik_dalvik_system_VMStack_getCallingClassLoader(const u4* args,
JValue* pResult){
ClassObject* clazz =
dvmGetCaller2Class(dvmThreadSelf()->interpSave.curFrame);
UNUSED_PARAMETER(args);
if (clazz == NULL)
RETURN_PTR(NULL);
RETURN_PTR(clazz->classLoader);
}

VMStack.getCallingClassLoader() returns the class loader of the class that declared the method that called the current method. In other words, if my function foo() called Runtime.loadLibrary(), it would return foo's class loader.
The point of all that is to make sure the library is loaded in the context of whoever called findLibrary, rather than in the context of java.lang.Runtime.
There's a good chance findLibrary() is implemented by BaseDexClassLoader, which calls into DexPathList.findLibrary(), which does the actual work. The interesting bit there is the walk through nativeLibraryDirectories, which is initialized from the libraryPath argument to the BaseDexClassLoader constructor (which gets it from PathClassLoader or DexClassLoader).
For Android apps, take a look at android.app.ApplicationLoaders, which uses a PathClassLoader. If you trace that back far enough you'll see the directory being retrieved from ApplicationInfo.nativeLibraryDir.
EDIT: going deeper to address comment...
/system/lib comes from the java.library.path property, which the core libraries extract from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. The app-specific library dir is configured by the framework.
The PackageManagerService constructor sets the lib path in mAppLibInstallDir, and setInternalAppNativeLibraryPath() configures nativeLibraryDir.
DexPathList.splitLibraryPath() combines the java.library.path path with the APK-specific path. See the comments there for notes on ordering.

Loading classes from jar on android

I tried really hard, but always get a Class Not Found exception, from reading this answer
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3024261
I took my jar run the
dx --dex --output=C:\classes.dex C:\MyAndroidLib.jar
and got a dex file
then I run the
apt add C:\MyLib.jar C:\classes.dex
to create a jar with the dex file.
then I wrote the following code.
DexClassLoader classLoader = new DexClassLoader(
destPath, dirPath +"/" , null, getClass().getClassLoader());
Class<?> classToLoad = classLoader.loadClass("ClassImpl");
on debug I can see that the dex is inside the classLoader(under the mDexs member)
and the ClassImpl is the only class I got inside.
but I keep getting the class not found exception.
Anyone got a working sample of dynamic class loading from external jar ?
Someone knows whats my problem?

I did not use aapt... Only dex. And I got my class loaded, and my methods called.
Use this code for see inside the dex file:
DexFile dexfile = DexFile.loadDex(url_jar_path,
File.createTempFile("opt", "dex", context.getCacheDir()).getPath(), 0);
// Print all classes in the DexFile
Enumeration<String> classNames = dexfile.entries();
String classname = "";
while (true) {
if (! classNames.hasMoreElements()) {
break;
}
classname = classNames.nextElement();
}
Use this code for see inside the class:
Class class = dexclassloader.loadClass(ruta_clase_en_jar);
String name;
Method[] method_array = clase.getMethods();
for (Method i: method_array) {
name = i.getName ();
}

Jersey on Jetty on Android throws ContainerException: The ResourceConfig instance does not contain any root resource classes

I'm trying to run Jersey on Jetty on Android.
I've created an Android that instantiate a Jetty Server with a Jersey Servlet. Anyway when I start Jetty and visit a REST resource (in my case: http://192.168.1.12:8080/api/hello) I get a ContainerException with message: The ResourceConfig instance does not contain any root resource classes. (see exception stack trace below).
Any idea why?
MORE DETAILS:
Logcat is giving the following SEVER WARNINGS.
The following errors and warnings have been detected with resource and/or provider classes:
SEVERE: Missing dependency for field: private java.lang.ThreadLocal com.sun.jersey.server.impl.container.servlet.JSPTemplateProcessor.requestInvoker
SEVERE: Missing dependency for field: private java.lang.ThreadLocal com.sun.jersey.server.impl.container.servlet.JSPTemplateProcessor.requestInvoker
This is strange cause java.lang.ThreadLocal is available for Android and HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse should be available since I've included servlet-api-2.5.jar in the libs folder.
Jersey is dependent on some javax libraries (jaxb-api-2.2.2.jar,jndi-1.2.1.jar,stax-api-1.0-2.jar) which I had to add to project and set the --core-library parameter temporary to ignore dex warning about javax packages as dependencies.
I also removed the following classes (RenderedImageProvider,DataSourceProvider,MimeMultipartProvider from package com.sun.jersey.core.impl.provider.entity from jersey core jar) to avoid dependencies on java.awt and javax.mail.

don't use package/any other scanning on .. not supported platforms.
