## What it is
AndroidDynamicLoader is a plugin system for Android where a host app loads APK plugins dynamically, similar to how a browser loads web pages. Pages are implemented as Fragments and navigated via URL mappings like app://helloworld, with resources loaded per-plugin.

## Use cases
- load apk plugins dynamically in an android app
- build a plugin-based android host application
- update android app features without reinstalling
- navigate between plugin pages using url routing
- load resources and code from separate apk packages

## When to choose
- you need to load native Android plugin APKs at runtime in a legacy project
- you want browser-like URL-based navigation between Fragment-based plugin pages

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new modern Android project - the project is unmaintained since 2016 and relies on Ant and old Fragment patterns
- you need support for modern Android versions or dynamic feature delivery - use Play Feature Delivery or newer plugin frameworks instead
