I am instrumenting an apk file using Soot. When I add the following statement before running soot.Main (without even creating my body transformer), I get a regCount error. (The same error appears in different methods for different apk files.)
Scene.v().addBasicClass("MyScheduler");
// PackManager.v().getPack("jtp").add(new Transform("jtp.myInstrumenter", new MyBodyTransformer()));
soot.Main.main(args);
The error I get is:
Transforming android.support.v4.view.ViewConfigurationCompat$FroyoViewConfigurationVersionImpl...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: regCount does not match the number of arguments of the method

Thanks in advance.
My problem was caused by my class code I tried to add. It is really a subtle point: I use an ArrayList of "Long"s, but some of my methods was adding/removing variables of type "long". Although Java performs boxing and I had no problems executing Java code, such discrepancy is problematic in the intermediate languages.
