      >= 0; the write size

    • addContents

      public abstract void addContents(DexFile file)
      Populates a DexFile with items from within this instance. This will not add an item to the file for this instance itself (which should have been done by whatever refers to this instance).

      Note: Subclasses must override this to do something appropriate.

      Parameters:
      file - non-null; the file to populate

    • writeTo

      public abstract void writeTo(DexFile file, AnnotatedOutput out)
      Writes the representation of this instance to the given data section, using the given DexFile to look things up as needed. If this instance keeps track of its offset, then this method will note the written offset and will also throw an exception if this instance has already been written.
      Parameters:
      file - non-null; the file to use for reference
      out - non-null; where to write to
