Application analyses is important for smartphone markets and application developers. Dynamic analysis involving actual execution of application requires severely long time. Reducing monitoring time is an important issue. In this paper, we focus on Android applications and propose a method for reducing dynamic application monitoring time by constructing an accelerated environment wherein time flows faster than real time. The accelerated environment supports both of client-side applications and server-side services, and is constructed by modifying time managing implementation of Android kernel. We then present evaluation of our proposed system by practically applying the method to benchmark and practical applications. The experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieves accelerated monitoring with shorter time than real time monitoring.
