Implementing Spring-like package scanning in Android

Question

I\'m attempting to implement a package-scanning feature, similar to Spring\'s component-scan, for the Android framework I\'m developing. Basically, I would like

Answer 1

I wanted to find all the subclass at runtime. So I've been looking for android class scanning. This is my final code from what I gathered in web. You will get the idea.

public static void findSubClasses(Context context, Class parent) {
    ApplicationInfo ai = context.getApplicationInfo();
    String classPath = ai.sourceDir;
    DexFile dex = null;
    try {
        dex = new DexFile(classPath);
        Enumeration apkClassNames = dex.entries();
        while (apkClassNames.hasMoreElements()) {
            String className = apkClassNames.nextElement();
            try {
                Class c = context.getClassLoader().loadClass(className);
                if (parent.isAssignableFrom(c)) {
                    android.util.Log.i("nora", className);
                }
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            //              android.util.Log.i("nora", className);
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        try {
            dex.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
