What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A library and tooling project that provides access to Android hidden APIs (com.android.internal and @hide members) via a custom android.jar. It includes a hiddenjar CLI that builds a custom android.jar from a running emulator or device over adb, merging the full boot classpath.

Use cases

  • access android hidden apis in my app
  • build a custom android.jar with internal resources
  • compile against com.android.internal classes
  • extract framework jars from an emulator over adb
  • use hidden apis that moved to apex mainline modules
  • replace android.jar in the sdk platforms directory

When to choose

  • you need to call @hide or com.android.internal APIs during development
  • you want a jar generated for any API level from a live device or emulator
  • you need hidden APIs from APEX/mainline modules beyond framework.jar

When to avoid

  • you only use public SDK APIs
  • you need guaranteed API stability across Android versions
  • you cannot run an emulator or connected device for jar generation
