Android applications (apps) are highly interactive, but have— by design—no facilities to declare dependencies reflecting such interactions. Dependencies are hidden in code and uncovering them requires static analysis techniques. This technical note presents our static analysis infrastructure to extract dependency information from Android (Dalvik) bytecode. This infrastructure is used in a study of variability mechanisms in software ecosystems [5]. In the present paper, we provide details on the implementation, our dataset, and the statistics we calculated.
