| contents | XML configurations are integral to the Android development framework, particularly in the realm of UI display. However, these configurations can introduce compatibility issues (bugs), resulting in divergent visual outcomes and system crashes across various Android API versions (levels). In this study, we systematically investigate LLM-based approaches for detecting and repairing configuration compatibility bugs. Our findings highlight certain limitations of LLMs in effectively identifying and resolving these bugs, while also revealing their potential in addressing complex, hard-to-repair issues that traditional tools struggle with. Leveraging these insights, we introduce the LLM-CompDroid framework, which combines the strengths of LLMs and traditional tools for bug resolution. Our experimental results demonstrate a significant enhancement in bug resolution performance by LLM-CompDroid, with LLM-CompDroid-GPT-3.5 and LLM-CompDroid-GPT-4 surpassing the state-of-the-art tool, ConfFix, by at least 9.8% and 10.4% in both Correct and Correct@k metrics, respectively. This innovative approach holds promise for advancing the reliability and robustness of Android applications, making a valuable contribution to the field of software development. |
