Adding Aspect to Android

Following post done a nice job at explaining how to introduce aspects in android world.

Pune GTUG: Adding Aspect to Android

I gave it a try and it worked like a charm with some modifications. I have listed my modifications below just to save them safely. Two thumbs up for the original authors !

To make this work,

I installed AspectJ 1.6 version and added "/Users/nehameht/aspectj1.6/bin" to my PATH.
renamed all .properties files and build.xml file with .bk extensions to save their contents for later use.
Executed "android update project" command to generate build.xml.

./android update project --name HelloWorld --target 8 --path /Users/nehameht/Downloads/android-aspectj

Verified (and modified if needed) .properties files to point to my android sdk and AspectJ install locations

local.properties:

sdk.dir=/android-sdk-mac_86

build.properties:

aspectj.home=/Users/nehameht/aspectj1.6

default.properties:

target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:8

Added following sections (whole XML nodes) from the saved build.xml.bk file to new generated build.xml.

</classpath>

</taskdef>

<!-- extension targets. Uncomment the ones where you want to do custom work

in between standard targets -->

<!--

</target>

</target>

[This is typically used for code obfuscation.

Compiled code location: ${out.classes.absolute.dir}

If this is not done in place, override ${out.dex.input.absolute.dir}]

</target>

-->

<iajc destDir="${aop.output}" Xlintwarnings="true" showWeaveInfo="true" target="1.5"

source="1.5">

</argfiles>

</inpath>

</classpath>

</iajc>

</target>

After this "ant install" worked just fine. And I was able to verify the traces thru logcat.
