## What it is
A Gradle plugin that applies AspectJ bytecode weaving to Android projects, supporting Java source, class files, JAR/AAR libraries, and Kotlin code. It enables aspect-oriented programming hooks (e.g., method interception) at build time without runtime root or Xposed-style hacks.

## Use cases
- hook method calls in an Android app with annotations
- apply AOP cross-cutting concerns like logging or analytics in Android
- weave aspects into Kotlin code and third-party aar/jar dependencies
- add performance tracing to Android methods without modifying source
- implement permission checks or retry logic via AspectJ pointcuts

## When to choose
- you need annotation-based AOP on Android including Kotlin and packaged aar/jar code
- you want compile-time weaving instead of runtime hooking frameworks like Xposed
- your project uses Gradle Android plugin 1.5 through ~3.6

## When to avoid
- you need *.aj file compilation - only annotation style is supported
- your project uses newer Android Gradle plugin versions beyond what the plugin supports
- the project is unmaintained and incompatible with your AGP version

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- function: build-tool, middleware
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools, android-tools
- platform: jvm
