Dexpler: Converting Android Dalvik Bytecode to Jimple for Static   Analysis with Soot
  This paper introduces Dexpler, a software package which converts Dalvik bytecode to Jimple. Dexpler is built on top of Dedexer and Soot. As Jimple is Soot's main internal rep- resentation of code, the Dalvik bytecode can be manipu- lated with any Jimple based tool, for instance for performing point-to or flow analysis.
