AttributeError: 'EncodedMethod' object has no attribute 'is_external'

Hello，Thanks for your hard work，I have a problem when i run process_dataset.py from android-malware-detection
if node.is_external():
AttributeError: 'EncodedMethod' object has no attribute 'is_external'
I would appreciate it if you could reply to me!

The EncodedMethod comes from the package androguard -- https://androguard.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3.5/api/androguard.core.bytecodes.html#androguard.core.bytecodes.dvm.EncodedMethod. As per the latest version, there is no is_external() method there.

The thing was that I forget to pin its version in requirements.txt 😅. Seems like you need build it from its master branch since it contains is_external() method.

If you get it working, please feel free to open a PR updating the README.md mentioning this as a note.

Thank you for your reply. I will try it according to your guidance. I am a beginner and may reply slowly. Thank you for answering my doubts.

You must install androguard version 3.4.0a1 then you can fix this issue
