## What it is
Leoric is a proof-of-concept Android library that demonstrates a technique for keeping an app process alive against force-stop kills on Android. It was tested on Android 9 and 10 and is rendered ineffective by Android 14's cgroup freezing before force-stop.

## Use cases
- keep android app process alive after force stop
- study android process keep-alive techniques
- protect background service from being killed on android
- learn how android force-stop works internally
- research android daemon process resurrection

## When to choose
- you are researching Android process management and force-stop internals
- you need a reference implementation of process keep-alive tricks on Android 9/10

## When to avoid
- you target Android 14 or later, where the technique no longer works
- you want production-ready keep-alive for a real app
- you need a maintained, licensed library for commercial use

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, operating-systems, security
- platform: cpp, jvm
- tags: process-keep-alive, proof-of-concept, force-stop, daemon, android-internals, android
