Lancet is a lightweight, fast AOP (aspect-oriented programming) framework for Android apps and SDKs, implemented as a Gradle plugin that weaves bytecode at compile time. It uses annotations like @TargetClass and @Proxy to intercept method calls with no runtime overhead or runtime jar.

Use cases

• intercept all calls to android.util.Log across an Android app
• apply aspect-oriented code weaving to an Android project at build time
• hook third-party SDK method calls without modifying their source
• instrument Android SDK code with compile-time bytecode transformation
• add cross-cutting behavior like logging or analytics to existing Android methods
• support incremental compilation while weaving bytecode in an Android build

When to choose

• you need compile-time AOP on Android with zero runtime dependency
• you are an SDK developer who wants to hook app or system code non-invasively
• you need fast, incremental bytecode weaving in a Gradle-based Android build

When to avoid

• you need runtime dynamic AOP or proxying rather than build-time weaving
• your project is not Android/Gradle based
• you need a project with an explicit license or active recent maintenance
