Feel free to submit feature requests!

Integration

Just include the maven repository

1. In your root build.gradle:

allprojects {
        repositories {
            [..]
            jcenter()
            maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        }
   }

2. In your library/build.gradle add:

   dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.ChickenHook:AndroidManifestBypass:1.0'
        implementation 'com.github.ChickenHook:BinderHook:3.0'
        implementation 'com.github.ChickenHook:RestrictionBypass:2.2'
   }

Usage

Just include the library as explained in the Integration chapter. The BypassProvider will automatically launch you're components when requested.

Example

ActivityBypass

The Manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="org.chickenhook.androidmanifestbypass" >

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >
        <!-- This is not needed anymore ;)
        <activity
            android:name=".SecondActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_second"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >
        </activity>
                    -->

        <activity android:name=".MainActivity" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Start the activity

startActivity(Intent(this@MainActivity, SecondActivity::class.java))

And voila you can start Secondary activity without the need of register it in Manifest!
