Hunter is a framework for developing Android Gradle plugins that manipulate bytecode using ASM and the modern AGP Instrumentation API. It ships with ready-made plugins (e.g., OkHttp hacking, method timing) and supports incremental, concurrent builds.

Use cases

• develop a custom android gradle plugin to transform bytecode
• inject a global interceptor into all OkHttpClients including third-party libraries
• time ui-thread methods and dump slow method traces
• monitor or enhance third-party dependencies at build time
• instrument android framework classes without slowing builds

When to choose

• you need bytecode weaving in an Android build with AGP 7.4-8.7+
• you want incremental, parallel instrumentation with minimal build-time overhead
• you need to patch behavior of libraries you don't control, like OkHttp

When to avoid

• your project still uses AGP 4.x with the legacy Transform API (use Hunter 1.2.x)
• you need non-Android JVM bytecode tooling
• you want a no-code runtime-only solution rather than build-time transformation
