Dexposed is a non-invasive runtime AOP (aspect-oriented programming) library for Android, based on the Xposed framework. It lets apps hook their own methods and Android framework methods at runtime via a small JNI library, enabling instrumentation and hot patching without bytecode rewriting.

Use cases

• hook android framework methods in my app process
• apply online hot patch to fix critical bugs without releasing an update
• add performance monitoring instrumentation to android methods
• do classic aop programming on android without annotation processors
• patch sdk behavior on old fragmented android versions
• inject code before and after activity lifecycle methods

When to choose

• you need runtime method hooking or hot patching in a legacy Android app
• you want non-invasive AOP without annotation processors or bytecode rewriters
• you need to work around buggy behavior in old Android SDK versions inside your app process

When to avoid

• you are starting a new Android project - the project is unmaintained and unsupported on modern Android ART versions
• you need a license-compliant dependency - the repository has no license
• you need hooks outside your own app process or root-level Xposed functionality
