Hi,

attached is a patch to recognize and print some information for the android vdex file format.
A vdex file contains information used by ART (Android Runtime).

Some more information for the interested:
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/configure<https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/configure?authuser=1>
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik

I think this might be appreciated by Android platform hackers.

Also attached is a patch to print the actual and wanted string length in the test utility.
Printing the length helps to realize that trailing white space characters does indeed matter.

Please let me know if the code should be adjusted in some way, this is my first contribution to this project.

best regards
Håkan
