Android Multidex list all classes

i would like to use the ApplicationWrapepr approach to use multidex in my application like described here https://plus.google.com/104023661970539138053/posts/YTMf8ADTcFg

I used the --minimal-main-dex option along with a keep file like this:

android/support/multidex/ZipUtil.class
android/support/multidex/ZipUtil$CentralDirectory.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDex$V14.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDexExtractor$1.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDexExtractor.class
com/<mypackage>/common/MyApplication.class
com/<mypackage>/common/MyApplicationWrapper.class
com/<mypackage>/common/ui/DashboardActivity.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDexApplication.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDex.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDex$V19.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDex$V4.class

This results in the listed classes in my main dex file which is ok. I than use a library that uses the following code to list all classes in the dexfile but just gets the entries of the main "clesses.dex" and not also of all other loaded dex files because new DexFile only checks for "classes.dex":

private static List<String> getPaths(final String[] sourcePaths) {
    List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();

    for (String s : sourcePaths) {
      try {
        DexFile dexfile = new DexFile(s);
        Enumeration<String> entries = dexfile.entries();

        while (entries.hasMoreElements()) {
          result.add(entries.nextElement());
        }
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
        Log.w(TAG, "cannot open file=" + s + ";Exception=" + ioe.getMessage());
      }
    }

    return result;
}

the for now single path gets determined with:

application.getApplicationContext().getApplicationInfo().sourceDir;

which results to somthing like /data/../myapplicationname.apk

Is there another possibility to get all classes in the dex files listed? Or all classes currently in the ClassLoaders? The library is essential to the project and uses this approach to find component implementations via reflection later on.

EDIT1: if found out that the classes2.dex file is placed under : /data/data/com./code_cache/secondary-dexes/com.-1.apk.classes2.dex

however when using new DexFile() with this path IOEsxception is thrown with the message "unable to open dexfile".

The DexFile accepts the path of a zip/apk file, and extracts it to find the .dex file. So if you use the .dex as the path, it will throw an error.

Also Google has posted an a article Building Apps with Over 65K Methods to solve the --multi-dex problem.

I write a class to load all the classes. You can read more at: http://xudshen.info/2014/11/12/list-all-classes-after-multidex/
