DEX class filtering

DEX file can contain either the definition of a class (the internal class), and a reference to it (the external class). Accordingly, packets that include class, are also divided into internals and externals, and packages that include both, internal and external classes, designated as combined.

In the current version of the application, when viewing the DEX file, you can filter list of classes by their types (internal, external). This gives you the opportunity to separate classes, used in the DEX, and to obtain more complete information about usage of the code.

The filter activation is available from the pop-up menu of the page. In that case the calculation of the percentage and quantitative indicators shall be in accordance with a preset filter.
