FreeReflection is an Android library that removes the reflection restrictions introduced in Android P (and later), letting apps use hidden/non-SDK APIs as before. It works by hooking the runtime via a single Reflection.unseal() call in Application.attachBaseContext.
Use cases
- bypass android p hidden api reflection restrictions
- access non-sdk android apis via reflection
- call hidden android framework methods on android 9 10 11
- unseal reflection restrictions in android app
- android library for unrestricted reflection
When to choose
- you need to call hidden Android APIs on Android 9+ for compatibility or tooling
- you maintain legacy code relying on unrestricted reflection
When to avoid
- you target only Android 8 or below
- you need Play-Store-safe code, since non-SDK API use may violate policies
- you need a maintained solution for the newest Android versions
