taintdroid code reading 1.

I am curious how taintdroid track apps which use senseitive information.
Firstly, I check the diff between taintdroid and android.
According to TaintDroid Build Instructions, it modifies the source under dalvik/ and frameworks/base.

We can obtain the list of modified files by:

  git diff --name-only 0e9d568ec6b946e77bc0ec1903acac1ef916e6d1

for dalvik/, and

  git diff --name-only 562ac30bddb37b8bebeedfb035111dda41187332.

for framework/base.

The list for dalvik is too huge, is 456 files, so firstly we check one for framework/base.
