Failed to write arsc

[Xiangxingqian]

Hi,
I am using axml to rewrite arsc file, and pxb.android.arsc.ArscWriter#main as entry, while it throws an exception, the input arsc can be found in attachment [attachment](url
resources.arsc.zip
)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException
	at pxb.android.arsc.ArscParser.readPackage(ArscParser.java:256)
	at pxb.android.arsc.ArscParser.parse(ArscParser.java:142)
	at pxb.android.arsc.ArscWriter.main(ArscWriter.java:95)

	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)
	at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:147)

Is there any idea why this happens?

Looking forward your reply, thank you.

This process failed at the read/parse part, and I have opened a PR to fix it: #9

I am not sure if the writer part works or not, but this should at least give you a different error

Since this lib appears to be dead, we have forked it and made our changes here

[StevenArzt]

@DiamondMiner88 axml is not dead. There's just not much happening, since it's a small library, most bugs have long been sorted out, and the use case is too small to have many new features. If you have improvements, please open a pull request. Btw, we did a new release in August with bugfixes...

Well, #12 hasn't been fully fixed like Ven said

[StevenArzt]

He closed his own merge request, so I can't merge that. Further, nobody provided a proper example why my fix for #12 isn't sufficient. I might have missed something, that's all fine, but then please provide a proper explanation of what the problem still is, or - even better - open a merge request and propose a proper fix.

We're running mass analyses including instrumentation with lots of APK writing and reading for paper evaluations in my lab, and we don't see things breaking left and right. That doesn't mean that no bug is possible, but if there was something breaking left and right, we would have fixed it already. If there is a corner case that you can reproduce, please contribute.
