## What it is
A collection of demo code and blog posts analyzing the DroidPlugin Android plugin framework, covering hook mechanisms, Binder/AMS/PMS hooks, activity lifecycle management, and plugin loading. It is an educational resource for understanding Android pluginization internals rather than a usable library.

## Use cases
- learn how android plugin frameworks work internally
- understand binder hooking via dynamic proxy
- study how droidplugin hooks AMS and PMS
- learn how plugin activities lifecycle is managed
- understand classloader-based plugin loading
- compare android plugin framework approaches

## When to choose
- you want to deeply understand android hook and pluginization internals
- you are studying android framework internals like binder, AMS, PMS
- you want accompanying demos for the weishu.me plugin framework article series

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready plugin framework for a new app
- you target android 9+ where private API restrictions break these techniques
- you need actively maintained code or support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: android-tools, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: android-plugin-framework, hooking, droidplugin, dynamic-proxy, binder-hook, classloader, educational-demos, android
